Which mag extensions?

ef9turbo · May 10, 2011

I'm looking at purchasing some mag extensions for my Glock and two come to mind. They will be used for duty and competition.

DAWSON and ARREDONDO.

Thoughts? Any other recommendations?

DAWSON

Metal vs Plastic
Easy on off vs Using a special too or wrench
Comes in cool colors if thats your thing vs Black

But don't listen to me I barely shoot LOL

Dawsons are my favorite.

Will the Dawsons fit the Glock magwells without any modifications?

I've seen them fail during both competitions and on the police range. Grams makes a good extention as well. I don't know how much I'd trust one for duty use... but that's just my 2 cents.

They claim there COULD be some filing of the feed ramp that you may have to do but I didn't when I put them on mine...

What sort of failure?

ChrisC · May 10, 2011

Either fails to feed or fail to stay together when dropped. I've seen them quickly unload out of the bottom as well. I prefer stock mags for duty.

I have never seen these and can't find them on their website. I'd like to know more.

I have had very little trouble with mine other than when a spring gets weak and the follower starts to hang up. For duty I would probably run stock Glcok stuff too.

Check out GLOCKSTORE.COM under parts and accessories or put in LS008 in the search box. If you can stand the price (37.99 each) they work. I use them and have not had any problems. They also have a video to watch.....
