Magazine floor plate
It was easy to install. Excellent fit with no modifications. Allows little finger to grip magazine instead of going under base of magazine.
Great addition for my G42
Well after having a little difficulty getting this properly installed, I am totally satisfied with it. Having the extra 2 rounds is great in the G42. I originally bought the gun for my wife, but I enjoy shooting it, and also carrying it. I got grip extensions for 2 of my mags so there was a little extra. But this +2 extension really makes the gun fit well in my beefy hands. I have always been satisfied with Strike products and this one is no different. The price is right, and it works. What else can I say? Get one for your mags.
Works perfectly
I've used with 3 factory Glock mags. 0 issues. Doesn't require extra parts, still uses factory spring that is already in the magazine. Adds 2 more rounds, and gives the grip a little more length. I did try it with the Elite Tactical 12 round magazine. 13th round started to twist in the magazine with this on there. If that's why you are looking at this, maybe go a different route. It might have been fine, but I wasn't confident enough in that to try and shoot it with the bullet twisted.
Enhanced Mag + 2
It works but better if you switch out the glock spring and place the Ghost mag extension spring. Otherwise, getting 8 into the mag is tough. Thus far this combo is very reliable.
Works perfectly
Fired 200 rounds using only a magazine this was installed on. No issues at all. Makes the gun fit med sized hands perfectly, though it will be SLIGHTLY harder to conceal with the longer handle. I use this as a reload. Fits fairly well in a Remora/Tagua sticky mag pouch. The end of the mag is right at the top of the pouch, so fairly easy to grab like that. Someone gave me another magazine, so ordering another one of these for it.
Much needed extra grip length & capacity
I searched around for this particular style magazine extension. I wanted the +2 and I also needed extra grip length added on the bottom. I didn't find a lot of different options, but this one works perfect. It does actually add two additional rounds - for a total of 8. The texture on the mag extension is a lot more abrasive than the texture on the gun grip itself. I'm yet to shoot it, it probably wont matter. This S.I. magazine extension connects very well and I don't foresee it coming off. I've had magazine extensions not slide in groove well and break off or walk off. It was a huge pain in theass getting the stock Glock magazine base plate off - to the point where the magazine spring went flying and I couldn't find it. (No fault of S.I. or this excellent product). After that, this S.I. magazine extension literally just popped right on.
Great Magazine Extention!
Uses the Stock Spring & fills in the back of the grip unlike the Ghost Inc. Mini Magazine Extention Device. Goes together well, (first one I managed to cut myself deeply enough to need a few stitches, who knew plastic could be so sharp?) Makes the grip so much better on this baby sized GLOCK. I would recommend it to anyone.
Glock should have made this.
I got the enhanced magazine plate today and it's fantastic, I bought 2 of them for my Glock 42 and this thing is fantastic my only complaint is I wish they made them in the earth tone colors. And on the back of the extension plate it go straight acrossed it does not angle up the 45 degrees to match the back of the grips angle. So I think that strike industries should follow the angle as well I wish they would correct that. That would make it a perfect fit but this is still leaps and bounds better than any other magazine extension and a bottom all so far this one is the best.
Works great
Easy to install, looks great. Helps the small 42 fit in hand better. Nice having 2 more rounds, functions perfectly, ran a box of 50 rounds flawlessly! Keep the stock shorty magazine for Pocket carry, the extended length sticks out too much. Great for glovebox, nightstand etc.
Glockster
The plus 2 rounds is great but the added grip surface and design is where it surpasses all others on the market!!! Good job Strike!
