Wrathen Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 Helping a friend who is starting to do USPSA setup their Glock. Plan on running in carry optics and had a bunch of stock gen 5 Glock 17 (17 rounds) mags. I’ve always shot single stack or 2011s so not as familiar with Glock stuff. I did run a CZ SP01 in CO for a little bit and used a mix of Henning and TTI base pads. That along with my Shadow Systems MR920 that has some TTI extensions on the Glock 19’ish mags. Is there a company that produces the best for Glock? If not my thought is to recommend going with Henning basepads. I’ve seen Taylor Freelance on some local shooters as well but I don’t have any experience with them. One local Glock shooter had (2) 24 round MBX Glock mags then reloads to standard y extended mags. what would you recommend for a friend? (If you were in my shoes) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braxton1 Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 I do the Arredondo's. The molded-in checkering needs to be sanded off to make a reliably-below 140mm length, but they install easily and last for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truespode Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 I have Taylor Freelance that I use for my Glock and my FN 509. I really like them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeepFried Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 TTI works fine for me. I bet they will be roughly 30% off or $30 each for Black Friday. Hard to beat that price if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

floater Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 TTI, for the price are hard to beat, always on sale around most holidays. No matter the brand find someone with a mag gauge before going to a level 2 and up match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnLTD Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 Has anyone tried these out? I had never heard of the company before, but they’re claiming 25 rounds. https://acdteam.com/product/glock-basepad-full-set/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check instagram for BF code this week. 140mm. Fit 24 right out the gate. After a few days full I jammed 25 in. Few more days and it would seat in the gun. Would not reload 25 from the belt, but Barney up 26 has worked for me a few times. Think ill order 2 more this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loaded it with one brand of 115 gr factory ammo and got 24. I then tried another brand of 124 factory ammo and was able to get 25, but it was a solid 25. This weekend I did 25 plus 1 with no issues. Would not recommend reloading off the belt with 25 at this time from my limited experience with it. They are very well made and will probably order some more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went ahead and ordered 2 of them, will update with how they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy27al Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 I have used TTI and Taylor Freelance over the years. I like the attachment design of the TF better. All of them have the potential to require massaging to run perfectly without binding. On my last set I spent a few minutes with a Dremel and haven't had a problem since.

profec291 Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Took advantage of team ac’s black friday sale, purchased 2. Received them today, I’ll find out on Sunday if they were worth the $100 for two. I did put them together and followed the instructions, but i was only able to load 24 rds for the 24 hour break in period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I measured my arredondo enhanced g17 mags and see that they are 147mm. If I sand off the checkering, they still will be 145mm in length. What am I missing?

BJB Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 @Kravi Look in the USPSA rules under APPENDIX E1. Make sure you're measuring correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kravi Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Ok, that did impact my measurements. However, I still see the measurement as 5 and 5/8 inches without sanding (which is 142.875mm) or 5 and 9/16 inches with sanding (which is 141.2875mm). So crap. Or am I missing something?

Braxton1 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 (edited) Measuring mags like shown in the Rulebook with a ruler, caliper, or yardstick is close to a worthless technique. The only real measurement is the official EGW gauge for USPSA (measures 141.25) or the DAA gauge for IPSC (measures a true 140, as there is no "tolerance" in IPSC). Having measured innumerable "Arredondos on OEM G17 mags", I can assure you that it's going to be CLOSE, but the checkering will need to be sanded off and it'll fit the gauge just fine. The final word is only definite once it's checked on the appropriate gauge. Edited January 9 by Braxton1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kravi Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Good to know. I’ve sanded off the checkering (yay belt sanders) but will be sure to bring backup standard mags too, just in case. Cheers, Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
