Several years ago I was wondering about this. I was suprised to find out that the Glock 26 and Glock 19 shared the exact same part number magazine spring. After several years of +2 extensions on G26 mags, I have never had a malfunction. |

Also is the factory mag extension the way to go or is there a better one?

Also, could just use a G19 mag.

Also, could just use a G19 mag. Could do this, overall length would come out about the same. I carry my 26 with a pearce pinky extension(+0rds, just a pinky rest), but my spare mag is a G19. Similarly, if I carry my 19 I use a 17 as a spare mag. Just makes em easier to draw in a hurried situation. |

As stated above, the G26 uses the same mag springs as the G19, so there's plenty of umpf in the spring that's already in it for the +2 extension. I prefer the factory extension to aftermarkets. I've never had a problem with a + G26 mag, I'm currently using 6 of them, 2 for carry and 4 for range.

For some reason the smaller extension never felt right so I would either carry the bigger one or none at all. |

Who can't use an extra g26 mag? Just get a factory +2 mag, shoot and enjoy. I always liked the factory flat mag base(pinky under, never had a problem with recoil, even on heavy loads) but the factory +2 has converted me! I don't have huge hands, but somewhat larger than average, and the pearce +0 extension just crowds my fingers too much.

I was actually going to do that back when I thought they were a true 12 round mag and not just a 10 round mag with a +2 extension. Plus I have five 10 round mags for it which is, for me, more than enough for a subcompact. |

That was an interesting point about the factory 12 round mags for the Glock 26. The 33 round Glock mags are really 31 round mags with a + 2 mag extension on it. |

I just ordered 2 new magazines with the Glock +2 extension installed from MidwayUSA. They should be here in a couple of days I'll post once I get a chance to use them a bit.

I prefer the Pearce +2 for the texture match with the grip, but you can't go wrong with the Glock. No spring change is necessary.

I was going to buy a factory one from CDNN who had them on sale for $5 ($8 now), but they wanted $10 to ship something that weighs an ounce.
I ended up buying the Pearce one from amazon for cheaper than CDNN wanted for the shipping alone. |

I used stock.
I removed all of my +2 after one let go in the kitchen a while back. Don't remember the brand, but it had given me good service for years. YMMV |

I had a LE Friend that quit using mag extensions after he got into a scuffle with a suspect after a car pursuit ended in a crash. During the scuffle the mag extension came off spilling all the rounds in the mag onto the ground. My friend did't notice till after the suspect was cuffed and in custody. He never used a mag extension again on his Glock 27 even though he had large hands. I believe he used Arredondo brand +2 extensions on his 9 round Glock 27 mags.

Don't use the old factory brand + mag without the locking plate. The current ones are gtg. Make sure you get the locking plate with the factory extensions. I know of several people just ordering the extension only. Don't set yourself up to failure. |

That's the one I ended up getting. How many rounds do you load it with? It says +3 for the 26, but I could only get 12 total in it. |

I agree with just use a 19 mag when you want. I myself am at a loss why someone buys a sub compact ( the whole purpose of which is to be as small and concealable as possible) then wants to go adding crap that makes it bigger. Learn how to shoot without the silly extensions. Keep your small gun small.

I currently use the flat floor plate when carrying my Glock 27 concealed and use the extensions on my extra mags. I was just posting this so others members might be aware of a potential problem. |
