Frequently Asked Questions

How much capacity does the Taran Tactical +9 base pad add to a SIG MPX magazine?

The Taran Tactical +9 base pad increases the capacity of the new SIG MPX 35-round magazine to 44 rounds. For older 30-round SIG MPX magazines, earlier Taran Tactical base pads could extend capacity to around 40-41 rounds.

What are the benefits of the new SIG MPX magazines and Taran Tactical base pads?

New SIG MPX magazines offer a more robust design with better grip. Taran Tactical's +9 base pad adds significant capacity with minimal length increase and features a shape that aids in faster reloads by providing a better grip point.

How do you install a Taran Tactical +9 base pad on a SIG MPX magazine?

Installation involves ensuring the firearm is unloaded, then using a tool to depress the base plate retention mechanism. The old base plate is removed, and for older mags, an internal stem is detached. The new base pad is slid on, followed by reinserting the spring and follower, and securing the base pad with the retention pin.

Why is 'wiggle room' important in a loaded firearm magazine?

Sufficient 'wiggle room' in a magazine is essential for reliable feeding. If a magazine is loaded to its absolute maximum capacity without any play, it can cause the bolt to jam when attempting to chamber a round, leading to feeding malfunctions.
