Great reminder! I saw some mixed reviews about certain brands not fitting well. What extensions do you guys recommend?

22

I recommend going with the factory options if you want reliability. The aftermarket ones can sometimes lead to feeding issues, especially with bulk ammo.

23

I completely agree, reliability is key! Has anyone tested the aftermarket options? I’m curious if there’s a clear winner out there.

24

I’ve played around with a few aftermarket ones, and surprisingly, they worked fine for me! Just a little trial and error, you know?

25

Nice! How was the accuracy with those extensions? Did you notice any changes?

26

Honestly, I didn’t see much of a change in accuracy. But I do think it can depend on your shooting technique and ammo choice.

27

Very true, and it also speaks to how important practice is. Anyone have tips on adjusting shooting technique for extensions?

28

I think if you’re mindful of your grip and stance, it can make a huge difference! Just don’t forget to have fun with the setup!

Good point! I found a video tutorial online; it really helped me visualize each step.

I did have some trouble getting the extension to fit snugly. Are there any troubleshooting tips if it feels loose after installation?

33

If it feels loose, check if you’ve tightened the screws properly. Also, make sure that you’re using the correct extension model for your magazine.

Thanks for the advice, Daniel! I appreciate it. Is there a common mistake people make during the installation?

Absolutely! A lot of people forget to align the magazine release properly, which can cause feeding issues.

36

Good to know! I’ll make sure to double-check that alignment before heading to the range. Thanks, all!

I’ve installed a few of these extensions before. One thing that helped me was using some light grease on the threads to ensure a smoother installation.

38

That’s genius, Susan! I’ve always just done it dry, but I see how that could help with the fit.
