Weighted P220 base plate Login/Join

I think I need weighted baseplates for my p220. About 30 percent of the time the empty mag doesn't drop all the way unassisted. Who makes a weighted baseplate?

A Long time ago there were solid brass ones available. I can not recall who made them. Over the weekend I will see if I still have a magazine with one on it and look for a manufacturer's name

I think I bought them through Brownells

The ones I had are for the older style 7 and 8 round magazines, not the current style 8 and 10 round magazines.

Are the mags okay?

Back when I was still using those turds... er... ACT MAGS, that's how I realized they were split. They wouldn't drop free.

One of my original 7 rounders doesn't drop free.

No splits. They are stainless Italian mags P220-1. I am going to try polishing the mag well a bit and see if that helps

Over the course of 12 years shooting 220's, I've never had a problem with stock mags not dropping free. Have you checked that your grip screws are not protruding into the magwell, as a start?

Also, the trigger bar reset spring tends to drag on the magazine. A little judicious removal of the offending end can make a huge difference.

Good suggestions. The grip screws do not protrude but there is a tiny bit of loc tite squeeze out at the end of the grip screws. Cleaned that up and will see if that clears it up.
