I've run ~250rds without issue across 4x 10rd mags with updated internals (follower, locking plate)
Also setup a couple with +2 baseplates, which required light modification to the locking plate but gets 14+1 in roughly the same size as the stock 10rd finger plate  |

I ordered a couple 17rnd gut kits and a new 13rnd mag. I’m thinking I’ll cut the new spring to the same length as the 13rnd mag, and test from there with new internals.

Am I correct in assuming that for the 10 round flush magazine with the new follower and locking plate that you would get 12 rounds?

Quote HistoryQuoted: Curious about this as well. Just put the new internals in a 10 round (with updated flush floorplate) magazine and a 13 round magazine (keeping the original floorplate/finger rest thing). Each are increased in capacity by 2, so the 10 rounder is a 12 rounder now, and a 13 rounder is a 15 rounder now. |

L-R: 13sk, New 17, old 15 (the spring has shrunk about 1" from use)
 Attached FileFollower no longer has the spring guide. And it is a cup to guide the spring  Attached FileBase pad is now a cup, instead of flat inside and locking tab is both thinner, and front foot is gone. Locking tab now only retains the base by a taller button.  Attached FileNew 17rnd springs have smaller , and longer top loop.  Attached Filevvvvv Continued vvvvv |

So, old springs fit in the new followers.New 17rnd springs *do not* fit old followers.
 Attached FilePut 17rnd follower and baseplate locker into 13rnd SK mag, and you have a 15rnd mag. Last round will be *TIGHT* using older base designs Without the new cupped base, the last 1/8" really compresses the spring to the max.  Attached FileBONUS: 10s do become 12s, including using old P2000sk baseplates. P2000sk baseplate is still best 10rnd baseplate. Just trim the front corners to fit it in a P30sk.

Took the VP9SK out yesterday, both the 10 (now 12) and 13 (now 15) round magazines work fine.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Am I correct in assuming that for the 10 round flush magazine with the new follower and locking plate that you would get 12 rounds? My 10 rounder gets 13 with the new follower and base plate. I'm going to use the original follower with the new plate, but I've cut the follower to the same height on the rear as the new one. It holds 12, but I'm thinking it won't be so hard on the spring. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Right on. I'm leery to use it in a carry gun just because it hasn't been tested extensively you know? Same reason I haven't bought any shield arms mags for the 43X. I know this isn’t GD so I’m holding back a bit here… But how many rounds does it need to be tested to prove it works. It’s the exact same measurements and tube as the longer 17 mag except the length. You come across a bit paranoid. How extensive does it need to be tested? I have about 500 rounds through my SK modified to 15 rounds and 12 rounds. My P2000 has been increased from 13 to 15 with about 400 rounds through it. Not one hiccup. These are oem parts and fit as oem parts should. Go invest a few $ and try it. You’ll like it.
