Well Made, Easy Install, Nice Retention

I bought these for my Glock 34 Gen 5 magazines. They are well built, nicely anodized and install easily. The pin retention system holds the extension firmly in place. The weight added to the mag is nominal. They fall freely from the firearm. I ordered more!

Well Made, Easy Install, Nice Retention

Well worth the money

I've been running these for a couple years now and they are still as solid as the day I received them. You have to check prior to buying if they are compatible with your magwell. An extra 6 rounds is always appreciated whether you're working the streets or gunning in a competition.

Another quality product

This is a really solid product. I too have been using Arredondo's for years and quite honestly, never experienced a failure. I saw these displayed at SHOT and was interested. So far after months of hard running these have performed the same, no issues. If installed properly I can't see these ever coming off inadvertently. I check the little set screw pin locker every once in a while, just in case, and it has not budged. A great product made out of AL at the same price point.

Great Product

I read the low reviews and I had to shake my head. Yes, these will not work with some magwells because there are no set standards for a magwell. In terms of malfunctions, I have no experienced any. The included +10% spring works great. What does this base extension do? It adds an extra 6 rounds for your Glock 17 magazines, adds extra weight at the base so it helps ensure the magazine drops away when empty during a reload. I own six of these and they never fail to function. Highly recommend.

Sold construction for added firepower

The other reviews seemed to have issues, so far I have had none. My first try with this +6 base pad was adding it my glock 26 mags. While I needed to use a Glock 17 magazine spring, the product worked flawless and now I have 16+1 in my Glock 26 with the frame length between a G19 and G17 so it is still concealable. I own several more now. Great buy!
