Over the last year we’ve b
een working toward taking over a portion of our CNC production. In October we finally reached that goal, producing parts on our own machines. That’s Robin Taylor pushing buttons on our new HAAS VF2. Our tried-and-true subcontractors are staying busy as well, helping us keep up with the torrent of new products that Taylor has introduced over the last year.
New Black Camo Mag Caddies in Stock
Just got these in from ou
r friends at brassbags.com — 5-pocket mag caddies in black/white camo. If you’d like a set done like this, click here and tell us that you’d like the black camo version when it asks for special instructions. We have a handful of other colors too (blue, black) but if you don’t specify a color, the majority of caddies we have in stock are TF forest green! These were designed to handle full size mags out to 140mm in length (USPSA Limited-legal) magazines. Glock magazine with TF Competition basepad shown for scale.
Robin Taylor uses these to keep his mags sorted by caliber — 9mms in green, .40s in grey, .45s in black, etc.
Grand Power Surprise
Andy Logan recently contacted us about trying to get some extra rounds into his Grand Power — a popular variant of the CZ-75. 
The Grand Power is non-standard in several ways, but we found it accepts our CZ-75 140mm mag extensions. Using factory Atlanta Arms and Ammo 9mm we got 21+1 here in our shop. Andy reports getting 20+1 with his reloads (21+1 tight). The basepad fits very tightly compared to the fit on a “normal” CZ mag, but if you’ve got a Grand Power, an old STI GP6, or the IPSC title-winning Exclaibur, we’ve got a 140mm part for you!

We just got this neat little video in from Stephen Pritchard, showing him shooting the P30SK with one of our HKP30 mag extensions installed.
“Zero clearance/mag ejection issues. I can fit an entire +5 rounds as well. Solid product. . .” writes Pritchard.

CZ-75 “Speed Wedge”
CZ’s made by Tanfoglio or CZ are all the rage in competitive circles right now.
Our new “Speed Wedge” sets a new standard for speed and security in competition basepads.
The compact “wedge” design eliminates “hooking loss,” and “squares off” the magazine, helping stabilize the magazine in your hand during a speed reload (look for a detailed video on this topic soon).The one-ounce weight gives the magazine a more neutral feel. There are many reasons why this design is superior, leading to faster, more-predictable reloads — but don’t take our word for it. Try one, and if you don’t like it, send it back for a full refund.
We’re confident that once you try them, you’ll wonder why you would use anything else.
You’ll find versions for the popular Tanfoglio K-type, and the Mec-Gar small-frame CZ-75 (Shadow) in the TF store. CZ-built CZ mags require slightly different retainer hole placement (look for that here soon!)
These are slightly too long for USPSA/IPSC “Production” competition, but they’re a fantastic, low-cost way of making your stock mags work with any of the aftermarket magwells.
