luvmy40's mag sleeve for full size mag review

1st and foremost, luvmy40 is the man. He is an asset to this forum and a good man.



He sent me one of his home made mag sleeves last week and I just now got around to going to the range to give it a proper test. It worked just fine and caused no malfunctions of any kind. The only complaint (from a Glock shooter) was that "it isn't seating". I had no problems but I also bump my mags into place hard enough to make the slide fall. I could sand a bit off the top so that I could gingerly push it in. After this comment I seated it 3 times without bumping it. No harder than a factory mag. Sorry about the brief post but it's getting late and I'm a bit busy this evening. Great product, my only gripe is the flat rear surface does not have the same contour as the rear of the take down tool. That would be the only improvement possible on this piece. I've already submitted that to R and D.
























Sorry about the two fuzzy pics, my camera sucks and I was in a hurry. Thanks again and again Luvmy40, if I get any more full size mags, you will have a PM and a Paypal payment on the way. 8)

Very nice, makes me want to go out and purchase an MPc!!!



Very nice indeed!!
I am going to make up some forms for molding these things. Hopefully it'll make the process a little faster and give me the ability to match the contour of the back of the grip.

If all goes well I'll make up 10 or 15 and post when they are available. I'm thinking that $6 will cover cost of materials and postage.

More later.
Nice work luvmy40!! Quality qorksmanship! When I get mt MPc I will be contacting you!

Ok,

I made a form and have completed one sleeve with the rear contour. It is amazing how something as simple as this turned out to be so logisticaly challenging.

I think I've got the procedure and design down. Now its just a matter of perfecting the mechanical technique.

Any way , I'll get some pics of the "MAG SLEEVE, TNG" up as soon as posible and hopefully have some ready to send out in a couple of days.

Thanks
Sleeves Available

I have 6 mag sleeves available and more Kydex on order. They match the contour of the back of the grip . They are still all hand made one offs so if anyone wants 2 I will try to send 2 that are as close to identical as possible.

Sorry I haven't gotten any pics up yet. Hopefully I'll get some up early tomorrow.

$6.00 ea. PM me if interested.

Thanks

I'm not ignoring anyone!

First, kraigster414 and johndoe1027, Sleeves are in the mail.

jfinet, I'll get yours out first thing tomorrow.

I have gotten more of a response than I expected from these!

Please be patient if I don't pm you immediately, I will contact you.

I got more Kydex today so I will be getting another couple batches done soon.

Thanks for the interest!

By using that does it mean that you can use regular S&W 40 cal mags in you compact? I may be into a couple.

You can use the full size M&P mags. Not the Sigmas.
