Description
These extended basepads are designed to fit the USPSA® boxes* with maximum length for positive seating in competition or tactical environments! With the 1911 single stack making a strong comeback it made sense for Dave Dawson to make a basepad that increased the consistency of a fast, smooth, positive seating reload!
*After installation, check to ensure that your gun still fits the appropriate box as guns vary dimensionally.

Reviews
I shoot a 1911 in .40. I have Tripp research magazines and their standard base pads, I recently switched to the Dawson magwell and the old basepads functioned fine, but after trying these, I replaced all my old basepads with the Dawson's. They fit even better than the standard ones that came with the magazines, and most importantly they provide a taller heel which helps ensure positive seating of the magazine. Thanks for a making a great, low cost product!
Tripp mags are great…but they do tend to dislocate their OEM basepads when dropped on a hard surface. The Dawson basepads solve that problem as well as add a bit of welcome weight. Easy to seat and just the right amount of bulk for good purchase when removing the mag. They also look great!
Have Dawson basepads on all of my single stack mags (Wilson, Chip McCormick, Tripp). They add a little weight to aid in dropping mags fast and they are extended just to help seat the mag and still fit the box. Couple these with the Dawson basepad grip tape and you will see the advantage. Highly recommend.
