Glock extended mag plates... which one do I choose

[@oscarostolaza1]

To get the extra round in the Pearce extensions you have to go without the inside lock plate eliminate the inside plate and when sliding on the magazine extension and tabs fall in place you can get the extra round in!

[@gagunshooting803]

oscar ostolaza great information thank you so much

[@T.Show27]

I've never had an issue with the +1 Pearce grip extension. I put them on all of my Glock 27 magazines and have pretty happy with the results. I've tried the OEM Glock +2 extensions but I prefer to use the Pearce +1 for their feel and appearance. I stuck a Vortex Viper on my Gen 3 27 using an Outer Limits rear sight mounting plate and in an attempt to speed up my follow up shots and quicker dot acquisition I was turned onto the X Grips for the 19 / 23 magazines and I find that I really like them. The extra purchase makes the snap of the G27 more controllable and I don't have to use a death grip or reposition my hand every couple of shots. Having the additional 3 rounds is a big plus and not having to mess with floor plates is great (Not that it is hard to do, even without a mag disassembly tool.) I have also since taken the Viper off and went back to my Tritium night sights. For a couple reasons but the biggest being sight acquisition, I found that when the pistol was at arms length in a shooting position I would struggle to find the dot at all let alone get the dot on target. I'm sure I could train myself to use a red dot sight but I didn't feel I could trust it with my life. The Viper itself is very reliable and I've used it on both my AR-15 & AR-308 as a back up sight to a scope and never had an issue with it. But for an EDC or bedside pistol I'll stick with my 3 dot Tritium sights and TLR-6. I also recently purchased a Double Diamond 9mm conversion barrel for my Gen 3 G27 and with it's less snappy recoil I may buy a couple GET magazines go back to the Pearce +1 extensions. For now though it's the G19 & G23 magazines with the X-Grip G26-27C for me. Great video too by the way! Thanks for taking the time to explain some of the options out there. I wasn't aware of how the metal style extensions attached or that you had to do any modifications to your magazines make them fit properly.

[@gagunshooting803]

T. Show thanks...yeah I like the Pearce other than not being able to put all the extra rounds that it claims. Some metal ones do require the plastic lil tabs on the mags to be trimmed but not all...they still work just fine. Thanks again

I know this comment is old, but let me buy those oem +2 extensions you don’t like

[@stevekatz4372]

I have the HYVE +1 for my two G43 Mags! Working great with no need for extra spring!

[@gagunshooting803]

Great information 👍🏻👊🏻

[@cincereingram1068]

I have a zev tech +5 on my p80 19 and a hive on my 30s and 36 hive are very reliable but that zev tech is my favorite probably the best one ive brought +5 on my standard 15

[@todd_0351]

The Hyve Technologies base plates fit the pistol better and more seamless than the others

[@gagunshooting803]

Yeah I like them...I have some for my G26 now...I like the new design

[@michaelvalenzuela1739]

You should try out vickers tactical baseplate it’s metal and has grooves so it drops faster

[@muhammadsteinberg]

Glockstore base plate for maxwell clearance, no additional rounds. So far I'm happy with it. I'll have to try the Taran's. You presented them very well.

[@gagunshooting803]

Thanks

[@jacoballen8800]

I wouldn't want to buy anything from taran tactical anymore with the taran and jade fiasco earlier this year. Taran Weinstein

[@stevekatz4372]

I have the HYVE +1 & +2 extensions on my G43 and they were very easy to Install and they work without a Flaw using the Glock Factory Springs in the magazine. Not much more to say except the +2 is only 1/4" longer than the +1 and you get a 8 +1 carry gun!

[@gagunshooting803]

Yeah the Hyve are good and have worked well. They can be hard to remove though

[@Quality_Guru]

Nice video. I would have liked to see which one you liked best and why.

[@gagunshooting803]

Quality Guru May have to do an update video...from what I have on this video, all have worked great over the years. Hype has come out with some improvements and I really like the ones they have now for the double stack Glock models. Taran Tactical work great too I really like them for my G43.

[@InterstellarCloudd]

The hyve ones are my go to, they’re not bad for the price.

[@gagunshooting803]

I agree they do work well.

[@glockkidd]

Pearce, Taran Tactical, and OEM +2 is all I trust with my life. Arredondos are good but with new Glocks you have to file down the follower which is annoying I know some of the other extended baseplates do the same thing

[@gagunshooting803]

Thanks for the information

[@markgorz216]

The first extension i ever used was the hyve for my m&p 9c. As soon as i loaded all rounds the follower caught on the bottom of the magazine. After the first shot, whatever was in chamber, no rounds would feed out if the magazine.

[@gagunshooting803]

Good information to know

[@Brykk]

When it comes to the taran’s or the hyve’s, i think its silly to pay more for an extension than for another factory mag. The strike extensions for $18 is acceptable to me. I carry a g19 with the stock 15rd mag, then have two 17rd mags with the pearce +2 for 19 as back ups.

[@gagunshooting803]

Great point 👍🏻

[@PandemicGameplay]

To be fair the Tarans and hyves look to be machined whereas the other cheaper ones are just polymer. Purely personal preference as long as they all perform fine but that's why the costlier ones are more costly.

[@cincereingram1068]

Definitely have to get that taran tactical thank for the info good vido still helping 3 years later 😂😂

Check out the ETS 7 round mags for the Glock 43. They sit flush and hold an extra round.

[@mikemc1114]

Hyve is best. No comparison. I've tried them all.

[@gagunshooting803]

Mike Mc good option

[@thomasnalley3768]

Why would you choose it over the taran? Just curious , trying to decide myself

[@gagunshooting803]

Thomas Nalley with the Taran Tactical you do not have to cut the little tabs on the side of the magazines for them to work. Other than that they both work great and Hyve cost a little less. Both are great products. I just bought 3 Hyve plus two for my G26 and really like them

[@mikemc1114]

Yes. I have had great experience with Sig (p320, P38). I have owned Glocks, Sheilds, Rugers....you can't go wrong with Sig quality and reliability. I would recommend this gun over any on the market now including Glock.

[@kendallevans4079]

I had/have the same problem with Pierce +2 and my 26 Gen 3. It's almost impossible to get 12 in there and the easy loader doesn't help

[@AaronMTZ.]

I bought 3 of the strike industries for my G42 they wouldn’t feed the second round after using 8+1 so I just took them off I wanted to use them for my edc rotation

[@HaydenCarroll]

Nice video. Nice to see so many options side by side. I think for the Glock 22, it would be 15 + 4, not 22 rounds.

[@gagunshooting803]

Yeah I did make a mistake, it was a +5/6 mag plate so it would be 15+5 and give you 20rds of 40 cal.

[@KN-ko8ez]

Just a heads up, the Hyve base plates will not for the frame and seat properly with the Pearce grip frame plug. Did not know that before I bought for my Glocks.

[@gagunshooting803]

K N yeah the grip plug will get in the way for some extended mag plates

[@SilasBLAC]

How often should you change the T.Tactical springs?

[@gagunshooting803]

@@SilasBLAC I would replace as needed, if you notice any issues or anything. I think it would all depend on if you kept your magazine’s loaded all the time or not. Some people say about every 3-4 years that they replace magazine springs. I don’t normally need to replace any in mine and I keep them loaded. I have had to change a couple due to slide hold back or round feeding issues.

[@jaymeachum]

with the extensions that aren't Hyve branded, do they recommend taking the plate that is attached to the bottom of the spring off? I think that may give you one more, right? Just a thought.

[@gagunshooting803]

Jay Meachum yeah I don't use the plate on the Taran tactical or the Hyve Mag plates. The strike Industries comes with its own mag plate so you don't have to get a heavier power spring. With the Pearce Mag extensions they come with a plate to go with it.

[@PaLEOjd]

Pearce + extensions are not reliable, never have been. There is not enough pressure with the OEM magazine Spring when you stretch it out by using the Pearce extension. You should get an extra power magazine spring when using those extensions or you will have issues feeding.

[@gagunshooting803]

PaLEOjd good information I've never had any issues with any of my extensions the ones for the Taran Tactical the Glock 19 magazines always put a Glock 17 magazine spring in them. Same with the Glock 43 they normally have a higher weight spring that comes with the magazine extension glock 26 Springs are already heavy enough that you don't need a heavier spring.

[@gabbyhayes1568]

Here in Commiefornia, we can only have 10 rounds so I'm going with the Pearce XL (+0) on my Glock 26. If I want to go illegally beyond 10 rounds, I'll just get Glock 17 or 19 magazine and go with X-Grip sleeves to extend the grip of the short handled 26. I think that's the best way to go on a Glock 26 because you're just running stock magazines and not trying to increase the OEM factory magazines' original capacity.

[@CAVlogs121]

I had tons.of issues after adding it. Switched back to the OEM pmate and works flawlessly. Lesson learned.

Will the glock 19 +3 base pads work on the glock 17 magazines? They seem like they would since they don’t use different springs.

[@gagunshooting803]

Drew D They make a +4 9mm mag plate for full size mags. On the site they claim that the extended mag plates for the compacts will not working k with the full sized mags...think there is a little difference in the angles of the mags/plates to prevent them from being universal. I haven’t tried the ones designed for the compacts on a full size mag. I have plus 5 mag plates for the full sized mags.

Great video. My EDC is a G26. I also carry a G45 on duty and keep the same mags (G17) on me to reload my G26. I currently have a Pearce +2 grip ext on a standard G26 mag. I'm considering EITHER of these as my initial magazine carry in the G26: a G19 mag with a grip sleeve, or a +3 ext on my standard G26 mag. - Your opinion? And does anyone make a solid 13-15 round mag with a build-in grip for the G26? Thanks for your input.

[@gagunshooting803]

Well if you’re not worried about the length of your grip I would definitely go with the Glock 19 mag and grip sleeve. I would go with the +3 if you’re looking to reduce a little bit of grip compared to the G19X mag. I’m currently running a Hyve +2 on my G26. I not aware of any solid 13-15 round mag with built in grip for the G26.

Is the Glock 17 TTI plus 6 really worth the money? They run $42 plus $10 for shipping and a ETS mag is only $15 plus $5 for shipping. So $52 for 23 rounds vs $20 for 22 rounds and with the TTI you have to already have a mag put to base pad on.

[@gagunshooting803]

bishop2355 it's worth it if you are going to use it alot. I don't really use mine too much any more. I keep it on my bedside gun now. The cheaper one may be all you need.

Thanks for the reply. I've only heard good things about TTI products and good things about the ETS mags as well. I'm a cheapskate so for the price of the one TTI extended base plate I could get 2 ETS mags. My G17 is my bedside gun as well.
