WxGuy Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 (edited) I just had an "Uh Oh" moment with my new SF. NONE of my extended 141.25mm USPSA mag extensions fit in the stock SF magwell! This is both Henning and Taylor Freelance extensions. They all fit in the poly frame w/magwell just fine. What are you guys who have this gun running? I was hoping for magazine compatibility while shooting it in Limited Optics. If you have found a solution, please share! Thanks in advance!

WxGuy Posted January 20 Author Share Posted January 20 (edited) Update: I tried swapping out the magwells, TF to the steel frame. Not compatible. Another surprise was the Henning basepads do not work in the gun with the magwell off! I have an original Henning without the extra tabs for over insertion I can try. I found the TF basepads work without the magwell on. Edited January 20 by WxGuy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxGuy Posted January 20 Author Share Posted January 20 ZR Tactical comes to the rescue! They make a +4 extension that fits the steel frame magwell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fireman1776 Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 A dremel or file to the magwell is much cheaper than all new mags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxGuy Posted January 20 Author Share Posted January 20 Honestly, that's the last thing I would do without having a spare magwell. And it was the first thing that crossed my mind! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxGuy Posted January 24 Author Share Posted January 24 Walther Forum members, FYI, Henning just started selling the new "PDS" magazine extension for the Steel Frame. Grey and black available now with more color offerings coming soon. Have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzTechy Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Very helpful post! Thank you! Exactly what I was looking for as I ran into the same problem. Just ordered some ZR basepads. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxGuy Posted January 27 Author Share Posted January 27 (edited) I'm waiting on the "blue" ones to show up then order with the MBX follower/spring package. Henning items are good juju!!! I have 2 ZRTS basepads and they work in the magwell. With the two very tiny set screws, they are not clean-friendly in between stages.

DCR76 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 So i tried the new magwells from henning with mbx spring and follower and didnt fit I just ordered the ZR +4 and lets hope they do fit. Any suggestions on base pads ? I know with this new magwell the fit is super tight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCR76 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 I mean base pads not magwell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxGuy Posted February 3 Author Share Posted February 3 I have 2 of the ZRTS +4 basepads and they fit and function perfectly in the Steel Frame magwell. I ordered 2 more last night! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCR76 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Can you share a picture? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxGuy Posted February 3 Author Share Posted February 3 (edited) Here ya go! I have been able to fit 24 rounds using the MBX follower and spring. With the ZRTS spring and stock Walther follower, nets 22 rounds. I don't want to buy another magwell for this gun. I'm sure someone is going to make one. If you run IDPA, the LOK 18 round baepad fits in the box with this magwell. This combination does fit the USPSA magazine length gauge. Limited Optics here we come!!!

DCR76 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Sweet configuration. Grip, mag release, base pads. Thanks for the photos. Like you said. Im just buying two zr basepads and keeping the 2 - 20 rounders that came with the walther until vendor come with new accessories. Also ordered the makloks. The version that you have and the thin one 1911 style to try them out. Mag release also on the way from Earls. And some sprinco ignition kit plus the recoil rod ( yellow spring). hope this will replace my sig for LO. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salsantini Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 I have been using the TT mag extensions for my SF Full size. They fit the pistol with the magwell installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCR76 Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 TTI versatile ones? No trimming? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxGuy Posted March 1 Author Share Posted March 1 My friend in town said yes to the TTI versatiles working in the SF magwell. We have another option! And to add to that, LOK is working on an extension for the SF magwell too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YVK Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 TTI website doesn't indicate that versatile extensions fit in 140 mm gauge with Walther mags. The description says 140 is OK with Beretta, SIG 226, or Canik mags but doesn't say so for Walther or 365 Macro. Anybody checked that with the gauge?

WxGuy Posted March 4 Author Share Posted March 4 I just texted khaotic and he said yes to the TTI fitting in the gauge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khaot1c Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 I’ll try and remember to post a picture in this thread later. It might be close, but I call it a fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telligentgunner Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 I put the TTI versatile basepads on a mag and took off the magwell to test over-insertion. If you press up and release the slide, it locks open. This means the basepads allow over-insertion of the magazine feed lips. This is the same problem I had with a Canik Rival-S, which has now been fixed by Canik in newer models. If someone doesn't care and wants 4 flat black TTI basepads and springs, message me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
