Black or Silver DP Tactical Basepad
10-Round Capacity
From top to bottom this magazine is made to last and to solve the demands that our customers need out of a 1911 mag. Introducing the DP SUPREME TACTICAL 1911 MAGAZINE, designed by the smartest people on the planet, our CUSTOMERS.
These mags are DP reliable, of course, and have an easy-to-remove CNC machined aircraft aluminum basepad, not plastic. We built them to withstand a nuclear blast (although we haven't tested that yet). The Tactical Standard basepad shape extends just long enough to ensure positive seating without over-extending too far past the grip of the pistol.
Reliably feeds 10 rounds to a solid slide lock when empty, due to a stainless steel follower that does not wear out like mags with polymer followers.
They changed and not for the better
The baseplate is now shorter vertically. This means you don't have as much mag sticking out when it is fully seated. So now you have to be more careful when doing a reload in competition. I have had the new mags not seat when I performed the same reload motion. They made the product worse. Looks like you ordered the tactical basepad magazine. The tactical is shorter. Here is a longer basepad, https://www.shootersconnectionstore.com/Dawson-Basepad-for-1911-DP-or-Metalform-Magazine-P3523.aspx , if you want to change them out. Here is the magazine with the competition basepad already installed, https://www.shootersconnectionstore.com/Dawson-1911-9mm-Magazine-with-Competition-Std-Basepad-P2634.aspx
