BigD Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 I just ordered my open gun from Virgil Trip. While we were going over everything I asked him about magazines and base pads. I asked about using Dawson +2 base pads. I use them on my Limited mags and like them because they are easy to clean the mags. What do y'all use for base pads on your open gun magazines? I did a search and didn't come up with anything specific to open guns. Thanks, Darin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Merricks Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 If you are using +2's on 140's they are too long. For open I use +2 Dawson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Singlestack Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 For my Open 140's I really like the old STI base pads that are curved on the front. I stipple them on the bottom and they fit in my hand nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpowe Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 (edited) Dawson +2 on a IPSC STANDARD mag turns it into a USPSA Limited legal 140. Otherwise use a +1. Edited February 8, 2006 by bpowe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulW Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 Aluminum flat basepads, cuz they fit my hand best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nhglyn Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 I use Limcat brass basepads, I like the extra weight. Helps mags drop quicker on reloads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpolans Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 Dawson +2 on a IPSC STANDARD mag turns it into a USPSA Limited legal 140. Otherwise use a +1. How many rounds does a 126mm mag with a Dawson +2 base pad hold vs. a 140mm with a Dawson +1 base pad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
