I have a P-10C and usually have to wait for mags to ship out (at least in my case), and that’s really annoying. So, I want to try to push some development towards them, but I suppose I was hoping to get some ideas for what routes might be worth considering.
When looking at other projects, tavelkyosoba shared some of the design considerations for the M&P tmags, and SevenPerforce shared an idea on shifting the feed geometry for the p320 mag. I saw metal inserts as a consideration but that seems to be unpopular/suboptimal.
My plan is to try to implement whatever may be possible from these ideas and tweak and revise some stuff as needed. But before I do:
Does anybody have any p10-specific ideas, general ideas for printing when the mags are supposed to be the thin metal ones, or any other helpful input? I’ll slam my head against the wall regardless but figured it’d be good to reach out so my CTE is minimized.
Glad there’s interest in the P10! I compared a P10 mag to a Glock mag and the P10 mag is smaller front-back but just about the same widthwise, so the weakest and thinnest walls are there. You might be able to use a printed follower + Glock springs since the angle is very similar and the Glock mag walls are thicker so internal area is smaller. The feed taper where it goes from double to single stack for the mag is pretty long so not a lot of material there either. Worst case, you could do a single stack P10 mag with super thick side walls and maybe a G43 mag spring lol.
