How about Wilson mags? Will you have extended base pads for those?

How long are the basepads to make them work? Do they fit flush or stick out a little?

Do you have arched models yet?

Just put one on my Kimber so I can shoot SS and L10 next year. My CMC 10 rd mags won't insert freely; any suggestions to get it corrected? TIA everybody.

Anyone know a solutions to this situation in CMC 8 round .45 power mags or Wilson 8 rounders for that matter?

Are their basepads out there for them that make insertion more reliable but still fit in the box?

I bought the ICE for a SS. I got the no gap front which in retrospect might have been a mistake. I use Wilson 47D's. The .350 base pad is too short for me to get positive locking of the mag so I got the .650. I have had to grind a bunch of the front tip of the base pad away to seat the mag with the magwell. I got a chance to try the box Saturday and I have to trim a little off the front bottom of the .650 base pads to fit the box.

It's a little hard for me to take $60 worth of base pads and start grinding away on them, but the ICE magwell has made a significant improvement in my reload time.

You have to run the big pads with the ice. You need a single stack or IDPA box to check to make sure it will fit after that.
