I got my Tripp Cobra 8 round mags today and the are awsome I am going to order 4 more this weekend.
Short answer; YES!Canebrake,
With my Colt Rail Gun, are there any advantages or disadvantages to getting the 8 round magazines over the 7 rounders? Colt sells them with 8 rounders. Just trying to see if losing 1 valuable round makes them function more reliably. Or, are the Tripp Cobras just that good that going with 8 should not be a problem?
Also, are the alloy basepads worth the $8.50 expense? What improvements do they provide?
I'm not sure about the feed lip question (Cane can probably answer that one) but I bought my 3 Tripp 9mm mags for my DW from 'Make Ready Pro' dotcom. Botach dotcom also sells them but they had mixed reviews as far as customer service goes so I skipped them. Was very happy dealing with Make Ready Pro - you can also order directly from Tripp Research but I got a much better deal on shipping costs.cuba said:I've never used them but was wondering what configuration the feed lips are formed to, tapered, straight wad cutter, or hybrid, also wondering if the follower has the dimple on it like the original design and where I might find a good deal on them.
shoot safe, shoot straight, and have fun
Glad you asked. Want a definitive answer?I've never used them but was wondering what configuration the feed lips are formed to, tapered, straight wad cutter, or hybrid, also wondering if the follower has the dimple on it like the original design and where I might find a good deal on them.

Short answer; YES!
Let me explain the advantages of a Tripp 8 rounder.
This is the 7 round Cobra Mag, it has a welded base;

And this is the 8 rounder, it has a poly removable base;

And with the alloy base, when you're as old as me, style is all I've got left!

You decide if the up-charge is worth the KOOL FACTOR!

Cane is 100 percent on the tripp mags, they are awesome. I bought one because i wanted to see what they were like. I'm now the owner of 5 and couldn't be happier.
Got my 10rd magazines from TR here's a few pics, the close ups so how precise they are made fits perfect in the cut out on the grips... don't care for how they look but really doesn't matter. I ordered these Thursday and got them in this mornings mail pretty quick service.Well I have several of the Tripp 8rds RG mags so I just ordered 2 of the 10 rds just because I don't have any 10 rds of any brand, not sure I'll like them hanging out the bottom.![]()
