I did not say this in the video, but here it is: You need to know the laws in your state or country to make this update. If you are limited on the amount of rounds in a magazine, you need to stick with that. Do not try this if its illegal in your state or region.
Bearing in mind that this item is available in other countries as well (sometimes through resellers that don’t give a damn), yes: Always make sure you stay within the boundaries of the local gun code. Getting your house searched by law enforcement because the customs picked your parcel for a random spot check and suspected other arms-related misdemeanour, that’s the opposite of fun!
Hi, it's called a follower in the magazine. You basically have your mag body your base plate. Spring and follower. Hope that helps you out. Cool video, thanks for introducing this product. 😎👍
I just came back from shooting the Ruger SR22 for the first time, and it is a gun that I will pickup shortly, no re-coil issues and my shots are right on… the slide does stay back after the last shot… really smooth shooting gun…why shoot 9mm, 380 cal and 45 call for target practice , when 22 LR are just as good for point placement drills…
The slide will lock back if you also install the Taylor Tactical follower. The Taylor Tactical follower, in conjunction with the Tandemkross base pads, will also increase the capacity to 16+1. I have this setup and run Federal Punch 22lr in the modified mags flawlessly.
To answer your question. The reason to practice with 9, 380, 40, 45 or any other round is to become better with your carry gun. I would recommend practice practice practice with your every day carry and with the same rounds you will be carrying. Knowing you are good with exactly what you have is important. 🤠
Are the last two just too hard to push down or does it feel like its getting stuck? I read somewhere on the Wingmans that you may have to grind down the tabs a little if the follower does not go down all the way.
Interesting stuff thanks! Just found out I there's an extended mag for my Ruger 380 and now this. Normally wouldn't carry a 22 but with 15 rounds I may in the summer months.
This was years back, but after shooting many different .22 rimfire pistols I found I liked this one the best. There are a few new .22 pistols on the market now but I still like this one.
Is that when you add the "Nic Taylor follower and increased power magazine spring" to the wingman? That one uses the follower to hold the slide back which is why you have to drop the mag to let the slide go back.
If they made one that would hold open on the last shot i would do it but i like the 10 shot mags just for that reason i like to know when my weapon is empty !!!!!! it also makes it faster to reload
Very true. I actually bought more mags and left them stock so I have both options now. My kids love using this to practice with at the land so the 15 still is a nice option.
The sr22 is a great gun right out of the box I do hope the come out with a trigger replacement soon my tx22 is in Mt range bad all the time I couldn't believe how well it shot for the money after three years with mostly bulk ammo I've only had a hand full of problems all related to the ammo the only thing I changed was the trigger it's adjustable apex with a flat face no real problems with the one that it came with but it had alot of travel in it and it was Lind of shakey back and forth just like the sr22.
Seems it would be relatively easy to trim the follower to allow more rounds...pretty much what the folks Chip McCormick did to the followers on 1911 magazine s to allow 8 vs the standard 7 rounds...
This is my gf’s gun and it definitely is the funnest thing ever. Definitely a girls gun but also funnest thing ever. Just saying I know funnest isn’t a word, But rn it is 😂😂
I have the very same magazine extensions and I am having feeding and jamming issues. Does anyone else have the problem or any recommendations to fix it?
I have not had any issues, but I did hear that some people trimmed up some areas on the magazine to make it feed smoother. Are there any areas it catches?
Do NOT RUN THESE, they jam the follower at the bottom are unreliable and are hit and miss to if they fit 12 or 15 without the follower going sideways. And on top of EVERYTHING ELSE, they make loading the mag extremely painful and annoying since you cant slide the follower down with the notches to release the tension and the mags themselves are thin and sharp.
Good points, and I agree about the added chance of jamming. But, that said I have not had any issues with it. Fitting the extra rounds in it makes it that much more enjoyable to shoot.
Thank you so... Soo much for saving me. 😅 I was getting close to buying a two pack and now i know its absolutely not worth it if they may cause failures. (I have a weird problem where I want all my systems to work 100%😅) Cant thank you enough and for looking out for us with your comment. I was hoping the video would include actually running the mags a bunch to show they dont jam and their functionality 😢. Take care and God bless 🙏
@@shannonfritsch6647 I’m glad it worked out for you brother but I honestly won’t mess with them, I prefer to have a mag work 100% of the time not “with modifications for the DROP IN attachment they CAN work” but to each their own
@@HITShaw I did not find anything on the Wingmans having that feature. There is another website selling a follower replacement that has the hold back feature, but I have not added that.
I bout 6 of these and all of them SUCKED, everyone jammed after the first shot. When you remove the loading guide button the follower will cock and won’t load your next round. Don’t trust your life on thinking you got 15 rounds, stick with the true 10 that you will have.
Tim Harris, if you're using the Taylor Tactical follower with the Wingman base pad, you may have to file both sides of the follower with sandpaper. I had to do my Taylor Tactical followers like that because they would not slide freely in the magazine.
You can, but you will not get close to 15 without the Wingman addition. I tried that on one magazine and I was able to get 11, but any more seem to jam up with the stock spring and follower design. I just ended up leaving mine at 15 and its never been a problem. I did try the cut down follower with the Wingman installed and I was able to push in 17, but it jams up with the factory spring. I have been able to run 16 in that magazine without issue so far, but I think I am just going to stick with the 15 rounds in each.
@@SeidelRanch I ordered a few different springs to try with a 3d printed follower. I doubt I'm the first to try. I see a few options as you have stated. But it's fun trying!
@@kevinroberts781 Yeah, you can gain one or maybe even two if you cut it down. I used a Dremel tool and chopped one all up, but then it started sticking in the magazine. Let me know how it goes.
