mikey_golds Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Anyone know what Mag Extensions fit the Magpul Glock Pmag 17 https://magpul.com/firearm-accessories/pmags/glockr/pmag17gl9-9x19-glockg17.html Been googling for and can't seem to find anything definitive besides the Zev extension which runs about 50-60 bucks if you can find them in stock? Sent some e-mails to Shield, Strike Ind, Hyve. Assuming I will hear back at some point but figured a quick post and some feedback from y'all wouldn't hurt. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
slodsm Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 (edited) Arredondo work very well. I’ve got a few pmags and used these with no issue. They advertise as a plus 5 but they take plus 4. https://dawsonprecision.com/arredondo-magazine-extension-for-p17-glock-magazine-by-magpul/ To my knowledge, aside from the zev no one else makes a compatible extension.

slodsm Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Damn I wish I would have found those before I spent 100 bucks on Arredondo, I’d have given them a shot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

obsessiveshooter Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 DO NOT buy the Cain Arms extensions. I bought 3 P320 extensions for my wife's pistol, and if they are dropped on concrete they shatter. It's happened twice now. I wouldn't trust them not to shatter if dropped on gravel, stage props, etc. They are 3d printed and work fine till they break, but they are really poorly made.

obsessiveshooter Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 There are lots of sources for TTI style aluminum +5 extensions for about $10. They work perfectly, zero difference from the actual TTI extensions. You'd need real glock mags, but you are better off with them anyway.

Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk Yup, looking at them closer now I agree, I’ll stick with what I have. I don’t know if any of the Glock based pads with run on the pmags, the lower lip is much much thicker. Glock mags aren’t expensive and you can get extensions as low as 15 bucks from strike industries that are well made and run like a champ (I have 4 sets of those in factory mags that have never hiccuped) but for Magpul, I guess we are pretty limited. I’ve been collecting Glock brand mags since back when they were 17-20 bucks each though so I’ve got a pretty big stash. I’ll admit though, the magpul mags I do have are flawless. I’m dicking around with a limited pistol based off a P80 lower and it’s the only thing they’ve ever failed in and it was in the first 50 rounds of a very very tight/new gun. Slide to frame fit on this thing was the tightest I’ve ever had in a poly pistol and I was getting glock mag failures as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
davsco Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 i have a couple of the arrendondo's for my various glock mags and they have worked great. just loaded up a couple of glock 17 mags today and got 23 9mm in them. i have not tried them on pmags though.

Intheshaw1 Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 I have a ton of Glock oem mags, a couple with the Dawson extensions. If there is a GSSF match by you, go, they often sell 'used' mags cheap. I have a bunch of the Magpul 21 round mags, you can find them on sale for about 12 each.

Don't bother getting ones with springs, the springs are trash, buy Wolff +10% for them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Aircooled6racer Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Hello: I am using the Zev extensions on the Magpul 17 round mags. They work great and being red I can see them easily. Thanks, Eric Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Effectus Magis Per Minor Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 I tried the Cain and was not impressed, it does appear to be 3D printed and, as I recall, only added 3 rounds. I recently tried the Arredondo and it has worked great and added 5 rounds. This gives me a 22 round mag for those times when the 21 rounds of the Pmags I routinely use is just not enough, haha.

Bfrisk72 Posted Monday at 08:36 PM Share Posted Monday at 08:36 PM I've tried the ebay special +5/6 based on regular G17 17rd mags and had very poor performance. internal dimensions where off the TTI model and was only able to load +2/3 on a good day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
