Been using them in 3gun and steel competition for many years without a hiccup. Lots of mag drops, often with many rounds left, that would make many cringe. Only thing to watch for is the pin likes to walk a little bit after lots of use. Push it back in, done.
The +6 is a fantasy. Always load mine to 22 rounds for reliability. |

It still likes to walk out even with the set screw tightened down?

Solid aluminum...very robust.

Been using them for awhile now in uspsa.
If they can survive uspsa they are good to go, and they do. I do get a reloadable 23 rounds with a gen 4 g17 mag. I did have one on an FDE gen5 g17 mag that was too tight for 23 rounds reliably, so I guess it comes down to the tolerance of each factory mag in that regard. |

I have quite a few. They are awesome. Expensive, but awesome. Very durable.

I’ve shot a few USPSA matches with them and so far they’ve been great. You might get some minor scratches or dings if you’re dropping them on rocks. I can’t give any long term reviews since it’s only been 4 months.
Several other shooters use them without issue. Since were on the subject of TT, the only issues I’ve seen is when people put a +10 on a Glock 33 round stick mag. Several shooters have had the same problem when loading to capacity or even 1-2 under capacity. What seems to be happening is when firing the first few rounds it fails to feed. It seems to be catching where the mag body and extension meet. This is on the Gen 1 mag extensions. I haven’t seen anyone using the lightweight models yet. |

I've seen Taran mags eat the lips of glock mags causing 22 rounds to fly out when making ready during a match. Also had a few feed issues with TTI extensions on my g19, 43, and 17. switched to Dawson precision for competition and no issues yet

I e had too many Tarans walk off of mags, come apart when dropped on concrete, etc. the only extensions I use now are Dawson’s. Outside of that, I just OEM extended mags.

As above posters have said, in my experience the pins are the weak point. They walk out no matter what you do, and if you're not diligent with keeping on top of them, you can lose a baseplate at an unfortunate moment. Other than that, the thickass aluminum they use should be more durable than the rest of the magazine, so I wouldn't worry about that one bit.
I like Springer Precision baseplates; they use a set screw that cranks upwards and locks it in against the mag body. VERY secure, never had an issue and I kinda beat mine to death. |

I have ran mine fairly hard for about 3 years now.
Agree with the above statement that they aren’t holding 6. Other than that- no issues at all. This picture is about a year old- they are wearing but hold up pretty good.

I bought one and it caused serious issues, I could feel the rounds moving up in the mag after the slide closed and had several stoppages. I took it apart, checked everything over, and reassembled it a few times with no change. When I took it off the mag worked perfect so I think I just tossed the extension and spring in the trash. I'm probably the only person that's ever had trouble with them.
