Novagunner Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 I’m thinking about trying LO for the hell of it and I love my LTT but having issues finding a magwell as they all appear to be designed for compatibility with specific base pads. Looks like EGW might be my best option so far and possibly file down the basepads. I’m using mec-gar 18s with +4 TF caniks. anyone already running something similar? Worst case I throw a dot on my 2011. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertg5322 Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 Or run it without a magwell. With 23 + 1, there's no more than one reload in any given stage, doubt you'll be losing time there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Novagunner Posted March 28, 2023 Author Share Posted March 28, 2023 Yeah. I mainly like to have the additional grip squeeze your hand gets from a magwell. It makes me at least feel like I have a much better grip overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhett45acp Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 The TTI universal extension is working very well with both the Beretta magwell and the Springer magwell. This is with the Mac-Gar 18 round tube and does fit the EGW gage. Note: Beretta factory 18 round tubes with TTI extensions or Springer extensions will NOT fit the EGW gage. The TTI retention system is much better than the Springer. I have/had issues with the little set screw on the Springer extensions disappearing at the worst time. I have many Springer products and all have been very nice quality except this set screw idea. MBX is making a follower / spring kit that will get "24 rounds" in this combination according to website, but I have not tried. MBX has "coming soon" a 140mm magazine for the Beretta 92. I am considering trying the follower / spring kit, but highly anticipating the whole MBX magazine. With the mono tube, I would think about any magwell would work. I have several MBX mags for other platforms and they have been exceptional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhett45acp Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 I have 4 kits of the MBX spring follower. With TTI extensions and Mec-gar 18 round tube I get 23 very reloadable. One of the 4 I can get a 24th round, but no way reloadable. I don't know about the nomenclature of "24 rounds". Is it 24 rounds total in the gun or 23+1? IDK, but I am happy with he 23+1 for now. The TTI + Mac-gar 18 round will fit the EGW gauge - absolutely. No wiggle room. FYI Beretta 18 round magazines that are shipping with several of the recent 92x(s) DO NOT fit the gauge with TTI nor Springer extensions. The Beretta's are longer than the Mac-gar's. MBX now has complete magazines for the Beretta. I have some for other platforms and they have been very good. This should eliminate some of the hurdles with what mag extension works with XYZ magwell. They are on my next purchase list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stony Lane Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Just received the MBX 140mm magazine. 23 +1 for now is great, maybe it will "break-in" for 1 more... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carbine_Philosophy Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 If anyone finds out what Beretta magwell works with the Taylor Freelance extensions, I would appreciate it if you post your results here. I'd like to try out the +9 versions for a 92A1 I'm kitting out for Open, and if they can be paired up with a magwell, that would just be wonderful.

Stony Lane Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Use the new MBX 170mm magazine and you won't need the Taylor, or any, extension. https://mbxextreme.com/index.php?page=Magazines_Optic_Beretta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
