BigAm Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 A friend picked up an old style X5 in 40 for a suuuper good price. But is curious if anyone makes an extension for the X5 mags to boost capacity, and be legal. Does he need to buy the X5 mags? Or can he get the 226 mags, and add basepads? Very very new to this, and couldn't find much on the forum. Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manwithnoname Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 First off the X5 doesn’t come in .40. For my p320 limited build, I got the 18 round mags. The 18 rounders are the same size as the 21 round 9mm mags. I used my 140mm base pads and exact same grams springs and followers from my CO X5 for 20 rounds reloadable. Any 140mm bade pad for the X5 will work on the 18 round mags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s the one like this: You're talking about a completely different gun. Edited June 27, 2020 by George16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didnt see anything for sale on the site, but since they are importing them it would be fair to guess they would have the skinny!

jcc7x7 Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 (edited) I bought a couple for Midway of all places. They call them Apex mag extensions but I'm not sure if the Apex we know is who makes them. BUT They work and increase mag capacity by 3 if memory serves. I bought grams spring after the first year to rebuild the guts FWIW Product #: 187971 Couldn't make link work but that's the product# on Midway Edited June 28, 2020 by jcc7x7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
