Taran Tactical basepads in SJC magwell

So ive been shooting limited for a few months in local matches and have made some changes to my M&P40 Pro series. At first it was just springs and a tungsten guide rod, then a set of Taran Tactical base pads (which i love by the way. No screws or sharp edges!). I finally broke down this week and added an SJC magwell to the mix, which led me to a discovery.

The TT basepads dont fall free.

The rounded lip on the back of the pad fits so tightly it has to be removed with the weak hand.

Yes i know SJC recommends Areddondo base pads in this magwell. Im not made of money, and so i needed to make it work with what i have. Fortunately i have no compulsion about taking a file to... well, just about anything.

Filed down the rounded edge and everything works fine. Take just a hair extra to leave room for refinishing, but don't cut all the way through. Take a little at a time and recheck the fit and function
