Glock 9mm follower

Do they make a low profile follower that will allow 23 rounds reloadable in an extended magazine. Anyone with any real life experience using it? Thanks.

I don't think so.

I recall seeing a while ago some company offering a low profile follower they said allowed an extra round to fit in mag. But I believe it was 3D printed and there were bad reviews for it. Don't remember name of company.

 

I can get 23 reloadable in some mags with regular follower. Try swapping mag extension onto a few different mag tubes. Sometimes a different tube makes a difference in getting last round to fit.

I don't remember seeing slimline followers and even then, that would likely mess with anti-tilt and how the bullets stack in the magazine. I tried shaving down a follower for a .40 mag and that messed with bullet stack. I only barely got it back to a working shape.

 

For 9mm extensions I can get 23+1 using Henning pads on a gen 5 mag and no changes to the follower.

I am getting 23 reloadable in Arredondos with the OEM follower.  You do have to smack the feces out of it to seat, but that isn't an issue in a 140mm mag....

I can't get 23 reloadable with my TTI but honestly, I don't think 23 vs 22 will ever come into play at a match. I would definitely sacrifice one round on my reload for reliability.

I’ll start a stage with the TTI 23+1, but I don’t think I would reload to it during a stage run. I’ve never had one screw up, and I’ll run a 22 or 23 round stage with it if no steel is involved.

I get 23 reloadable with Arredondos, had them over ten years, with zero issues.

I can get 23 in Gen 3 and 5 mags with TTI base pads.  I've started 23+1 several times without issue.  I use Dawson base pads on the same gen mags, downloaded to 20, anytime I need to reload.

The TTI base pads on my mags had to have 0.010"-0.015" removed to fit the gauge.  It was easy to do with a belt sander, but it hurt sand off the anodizing.

Another benefit of Arredondos, you don't lose sleep if you have to sand them down to fit the gauge...
