« on: February 19, 2014, 11:34:27 AM »
Not sure if this qualifies as home gunsmithing but ....

Have anyone thought about painting the polymer magazine base pads in different colors.... if so Which paint was used ?

Why use 911 when it's faster to use 1911 or 9mm?

anybody know of any mag bases that shave some size off the extension.? if it werent for that extension my sp01 would fit a alot better on my person.
obviously other than getting the flush mags.
if not does anyone know how much can be taken off the sp01 mag bases before function/quality is affected?
also, ive asked before but does anyone know how to get any more capacity out of the flush 75b mags?
i was told i could play with the follower and spring and maybe get it but i was wondering if anyone has any testimony to this?

Haven't tried it,  but getting one of the little (grams?) followers from CZC "might' sqeeze one more in if you use the lightest spring weight.
Again,  I don't know if this would work.

I use the "+2 extended base" on a 75 Shadow and that follower gives another round.

my wife and I have been playing around with XD-M 5.25s, hers in 9mm and mine in .40S&W. Pistols are easy to tell apart as mine has a stainless slide and hers is black. I decided to make the mags easy to differentiate as well, so I lightly buffed them with a greenie, cleaned real quick with alcohol swabs, then applied 3 coats of Krylon Fusion (hers in pink, mine in blue). While all of that was curing, I went back and filled in the engraving (again color coded). Works like a charm and if it gets chipped, a quick going over with the greenie, a quick clean, then another shot of Krylon. It holds up pretty well.
