Exactly what I needed!
Had a problem with front tab of the plastic magazine base pad on my Dan Wesson Specialist magazine (made by Metalform) occasionally flexing and over-riding the front strap when the magazine is slammed home on an open slide during competition. This causes the magazine to be over-inserted in the gun preventing the slide from closing. Because of the aggressive 25 lpi front strap checkering, the plastic tab gets jammed on the checkering making it very difficult to remove the magazine from the mag well. Needless to say, this completely kills your stage run when the gun comes to a screeching halt. There's a Hickok YouTube video showing this happening to him: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cctvMIf4CCY&feature=youtu.be&t=848 The Dawson aluminum base plates fit the DW magazines perfectly and completely eliminate the possibility of an over-ride. Dawson should aggressively pursue Dan Wesson to make these base pads standard on their mags. Great product that solved the problem completely.
