Shortening length of a mag????

[45C]

Hey
I just got 3 mags ,that I ordered from IRG.
I guess I ordered extended mags,as they stick out of the gun,about an inch.
I was wondering if they can be cut down?

Canik

Metal ones? I have done a couple, easy way, sell them , order the right ones

 

[can14]

Buy new magazines and sell these ones

I would sell them and buy new but I need them for next Saturday.
There's no way I could get the new ones here that quick

So then don't do anything. They are fine as is. You could also order the right mags and still post yours for sale. Canada post should have them to you by the end of the week without much issue and don't sell your mags until the new ones arrive.

Cut it down. No
The base pad is held by recesses - lips.
Follow the advise posted..sell them and get the proper one.

As Blastattack says, use them on Saturday and sell them when the new ones you order arrive, won’t make any difference to your resale price really

Unless, like they are, they don't fit in the slot box for a particular competition you're in.

Ya
I'm not concerned with selling them,just wanted the shorter mags.
And there's not a snow balls chance in hell,that I get new ones by Friday..lol

Maybe some kind soul will see your plight and offer to loan you some. If they only knew where you were located.

Ya, chances are pretty slim wthr that,as well.
I'm in NL.
I'll probably just order a few from SFRC

When I had a Canik, and a 941 Jericho, the mags from both would work in one, but not the other, not sure now which way now as I don't have the Canik any more
Another little tidbit, those 92F that are floating around now, Ruger P89, 93, 94 , SR40 mags work in the gun just fine, with a notch cut in the base for the 92F. Hold open notch in the follower, is a bit high, sharp 1/4" chisel fixed that .
CZ75 Mags work in the 941 Jericho. Couple ,I had to do a little filing on the notch as it was a bit tight.
I am also using a SR40 mag in the 941 as will, had to shave a bit off the top of the plastic follower.
The base angle is off a little, but that don't bother me.
Now if I could just see the front sight on that damn 92F, life would be good. Think I will try some green or red fiber optic rod.
