Does anybody know if these are actually being sold anywhere yet? Unable to locate any in stock. Thanks. |
|
all online searches show to be out of stock, does anyone happen to know if we have Kriss vendors on the site? found these off google www.tactical-life.com/online/products/kriss%C2%AE-super-v%E2%84%A2-g30-magex/ www.impactguns.com/store/ACMEK0800101.html |
If you get +17 in .45ACP, I wonder if you get a couple more in 10mm??? I'm sure as heck gonna give it a try, as soon as I can find some in stock. |

My local range has them for sale. Three different flavors. 1- Just the extension. 2- Extension installed on a new G21 magazine. 3- Same as #2 but with a Lula\Uplula loader (Can't recall that last detail). Approx prices: 1- $26 2- $49 3- $89 Bought a single #2. Loaded it with 30 rounds of S&B. Perfect functionality out of my Model-30 (Didn't have the 21 with me). A crappy picture for your viewing pleasure:  |

Very true but my hand is free.  ***Not to mention it's one less thing I have to worry about losing.*** |

Just an FYI for folks with magazines that have the old style followers: You'll want to get new style followers if you go with the "Extension Only" option. I just tried using 2 of my old, non-drop free mags with "Extension Kit" (Yes, I'm weak and bought two of them so I'd have three 30 round mags) and the follower doesn't allow the spring to seat and it kicks over about half way through the extended mag body. A few pics below for illustration. Old Follower with the new extension spring which is the same as a standard new Glock spring:  Current Follower with new extension spring which is the same as a standard new Glock spring:  A group shot. -Left Side: Current follower with current Glock spring. -Center: Old follower with old Glock spring. -Right Side: The magazine extension spring from KRISS.  At least new followers are cheap and easy to install. |
You've ran a full load through them and all was well? Cool. At least someone has better luck than me.
|
Yours didn't function with the old follower? |
Negative. Hence my post with pics above. I'd get about 15 rounds through an attempt and the old follower would tilt and jam at the junction of the extension and the main mag body. New follower worked great. ***And for the record I'd like to state that I love\hate getting new magazines. The testing proceedure is somewhat harsh on the wallett. Especially new 7.62x51 magazines.  ***

I picked up some extensions today. I will try them on my G20 mags as well as the G21 and post later tonight. Edit: No joy with the 10mm mags. The internal volume is smaller and the springs won't fit. Put on two of the extensions on the G21 mags and they cycled fine. Initially I had one mag that would only take 28 rounds, the "ears" that lock in the lower inner sleeve were a little too far in and hanging on the spring. I shaved the internal surface to round it off just a bit and now works fine. |
I'm assuming you picked them up locally or did you buy online? I have been looking for these and none of the usual places have them. |
Turns out mine didnt either. Had some jams, just like you described. NEW FOLLOWERS ONLY ON THESE!!!!! |

just picked one up today for my g20 - no luck either... turns out i have the old follower, so looking to get a new one & try again. it will cycle about 10 rounds. then the follower tilts to the side, right when it gets to original mag. like the capacity though (34 was last i could squeeze by hand) hope i can get it to work. if not, guess i will have to get a g21 or a Kriss
