I looked but couldn't find a thread that discusses this and I just started having this problem. I recently replaced the mag base on my XD 45 tac and the mag will not seat properly. Do I need to sand a little bit of the base plate down? Anyone else had this problem?

Hm. Das ist nicht gut...

Slide fwd or locked back?
Try it locked back.

Why did you replace the pad?

Put stock pack in and try.

I put a magwell on, and an extended mag base gives me a little bit of a grip to rip it out if need be. I tried it with the slide forward and back, you can tell its just a hair from locking in. It just doesn't want to lock in. The way i see it, it shouldn't matter if it was forward or locked to the rear. It should seat properly and lock in.

Probably the pad. My buddy shoots a xd tac in40 with a mag well, he had to reshape the base pads to fit. Check the width of the mag well if shooting in IDPA, his needed about 1/32" off each side to meet the box measurements.

Thanks, I was thinking that would be the issue.
