Micah Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 I searched and found not the answer, thus this thread... I'm looking to play with the big boys a little in Limited, and would like to use my Production gear. What are the best options for creating a Glock bigstick? I shoot with a G34. Thanks, Micah B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 My Glock 17/34 9mm mags with the Dawson basepad hold 23 +1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b2e Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Arrendondo adds 6 to your 17 rnd mag. The 23rd rnd makes a tight fit and my not cycle properly. I keep it at 22 rnds. It's plenty in a match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loves2Shoot Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 I have some Grams base pads that a customer switched out for Dawson I could give you a good deal on. Save you shipping too if you do the mag trade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Griffin Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 I like my Dawsons as well, very well made and a few seconds to install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFD Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 While I've only screwed aroud with .40 mags, I get an equal number of rounds with Dawson or Arrendondo extensions. Novak +1 followers make them a little easier to load the last round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micah Posted October 13, 2006 Author Share Posted October 13, 2006 So 23+1 is the current mechanical limit for Glock 9mm mags? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParaJoe Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 Within the 140mm mag limitation it seems so. I can get 23+1 in my G17 mag with an Arredondo bottom on it. Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 For Limited, the Taylor Freelance 140mm pads add +6 to a 9x mag (23 rounds) The Taylor Freelance 170mm basepads will add +11 to any Glock 9mm magazine (28 rounds). These are the way to go for a "Real" big stick in a Glock for Open Division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Keen Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 Go with Taylors or Arrendondos ........... same price diff. .......... same round count ........... same amount of fun. I reload better with Taylors, but the Arredondos seem like they would be "grip-i-er" YMMV PS and you know if you want to trade one for that 33 rounder ........ !! ?? !! I'm up for that! But seriously if you prefer to only "borrow" one or two for a match I can arrange that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 I will be purchasing some Taylor, +11, basepads for an open Glock project that I have in the works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Keen Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 Keith is right. Arredondos are fin for Limited, but when shooting OPEN with a Glock, and you can go from 140mm to 170mm LEGALLY their is no other choice except the Taylor Freelance 170's. 28 rounds in a GLOCK?

want2race Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 My Arredondo's needed a little work to get the 23'd round in without a fight. I shaved a little off the back of the follower, now it fits 23 and a half. I reduced the height of the the back of the follower, just to be clear. I wanted the last round to be able to compress to ease reloading with slide forward. If you do well in Limited, I give you about a week before you order a Ghost (or similar). I did exactly what you are talking about, last month. Stepped up big with the little bullet that could. It's fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric nielsen Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 (edited) I got 23 in my Arredondo that you could easily seat into the gun, using the follower shown in this thread, before that I only got 22: http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?...p;hl=29\+1 If TF or Dawson or Grams makes a follower that goes all the way to 141.25, you might squeeze 24 in there. If you're interested in Open, the #3 follower & TF 171 combo [see link] goes 29+1. Edited October 14, 2006 by eric nielsen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micah Posted October 14, 2006 Author Share Posted October 14, 2006 Thanks to all for the excellent information. I am still unclassified in Open...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SA Friday Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 (edited) Mad Scientist is using the 170mm Taylor Freelance extensions for his Glock Open guns. I don't know of any better recommendation than that. Edited October 14, 2006 by SA Friday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
