Perfect feeling in the hand now and super ERGO! guys if you have this model, you will not be sorry you got a PG-ME10+ extension. It adds a round also to the mag. 12+1 instead of 11+1.

This was actually informative. Nice job all the other reviews don’t really talk or actually show this. The magazine well is done that way so you really get the shortest grip for carry and concealment. If I remove it because it bothers me to I will just edc my Glock 20 2x4. Now I get to play with my back straps and red dot 🔴. Funny I never owned a red dot and I really don’t care to even put it on. This gun is like a figit spinner you can constantly tweak it for 700 bucks. It’s up there with my CZ 🍊 shadow 2 for fun even though two different animals.

I just removed my magwell ( pretty easy). The extended mag is in place but only had the ( small #1) matching mag grip extension. My XDM game with two 9 round mags. I picked up a few used ones . The most confusing issue is match your mag sleeve extension to the back strap. I have large hands a d wanted to use the larger back strap but my mag sleeve is small #1. Really seems to confusing to match it up. I found one used mag with the Pierce style mag sleeve, works great in pistol ( 3.8 .45 OSP) . Love the extend grip and ability to go conceal by just changing mags!!!!! I have carried a Glock 30 S with Glock 21 mag as back up. Both pistols are capable of the same mag capacities due to the exceptence of larger magazines. Range bound today!!!

The reason your flat base mag is not ejecting off the grip easy is because you didn't remove the black metal plate that comes with the extended mags.
@GaryWM22 жыл бұрын
I believe when you switched to the flat bottom option on the 10 round mag that you did not do it correctly. It looks as if you put the metal plate inside which I believe only works with the extension for the flared mag well. I had trouble at first when I switched mine as the instructions wasn't very clear on that until I figured it out. You will notice that the base plates are made different and that the spring actually catches on the flat base plate to hold it on as where the other uses the metal plate to catch and hold and allow for 1 more round. I think that's also why the flat bottom caught and wasn't flat when you had it in your gun. Hope that helps.

@brianp90542 жыл бұрын
I noticed the same, I removed the part to get mine magazine with the flat bottom and as you said the metal part does not belong there. From my point of view it looks great and also is compatible with the 15 round magazine. The only downside of using the flat bottom magazine is that you lost one round, but I'm ok with that. It's less bulky and easier to conceal, and if you want more round you just change to the 15 round magazine and you are good to go.

@@TheArkansasGunGuy I got it now. Yes there is a pin on the side. That has to be punched out according to the manual instructions that I downloaded from Springfield. Thank God, I was scared of breaking it. The guy that broke his on that forum said that Springfield told him that because the guns were made in Croatia they did not have the spare parts he needed. But I got it out thank God with the plastic pin in tact. I wish I could send you a photo so that you can see that pin and where it is located. The punch out pin or roll out pin is located and hiding in the grooves of the backstrap lower left and right hand corners of it. Once I punched out that pin both the back strap and the magwell came out with super simple ease. I got the 15 round clip with the extention and that is REALLY the only reason that I had to take off the magwell. I love that magwell, but CANNOT use the 15 round clip with the magwell. Springfield should have thought of something better to do than that. But it does a really nice flush fit when you put in that 15 round clip in the gun. Feels bigger, but hey 15 plus 1 rounds of 10mm. I'm not gonna complain lol. Thanks for the heads up. Good video by the way! I subscribed by the way too.

Did you order the extended mag through Springfield directly?
@TheArkansasGunGuy2 жыл бұрын
Yes - ordered directly from Springfield. When I registered the weapon they sent a (one time)discount code. Got the extended mag and kydex holster they were promoting with launch (no longer on site last time I looked)

Does anyone know where I can get a magwell and base plate grips that perfectly fit just like the 3rd magazine in this video with the “xd” print on it. I have a Xdm Elite 4.5 Osp 10mm. I am trying to find a grip and magwell that fits perfectly to the gun and magazine !

Do the 15 round mag insert and fit with the magwell attached?

I wish I could validate for you but I actually sold the gun last year. I think it fits with it can’t say for sure. Appreciate you tuning in and sorry I could not 100% answer.

I've since sold this gun, ,but if memory serves you can still keep the mag well with 15 rounder it just sticks our more and looks a little strange... I THINK that's the case - again, sorry I can't confirm - I traded it for an X-Ten. THANK YOU for watching!!

I like your video but I was able to figure out how to get the mag well off with no torque applied to the parts. It inspired me to make my first video for KZbin. If you want to email me, I can send you the video, since finding it may be difficult until it's approved.

Back to very powerful guns & ammunition for carry, main concealed carry by the gun industry? Here we go again. Remember the saying, "a hit with a .22LR is better than a miss with a .44 mag."? 10mm kicks like a mule and you with feel all that power in your hand & joint pain. Also 10mm beats up gun & they service life is seriously shortened. #FBI Ditching the 10mm & .40 S&W & going with 9mm. In all due respect to the video maker very power guns is a bad idea for carry.
