Don't flame.  I can only search back 30 days.

I bought my first Glock during the Clinton ban and was wondering what it would take to convert the mags from 10 to 13.  Can I replace the spring and follower or am I out of luck?


Worst case I guess I could get a +1 extension.

They were designed not to be able to hold more than 10 rounds.  You will have to buy new ones.  Do it while you still can.

Glock 10 round magazines have "rails" molded into the interior of the magazine body, this prevents the rounds from double stacking and limits the capacity to 10 rounds.

It will be cheaper to purchase non-10 round magazines than it would be to try and convert a 10 round magazine to greater than 10 rounds.

its cheaper and easier to just buy hi-caps...

converting 'may' be done, but requires work (sanding, parts removal, etc); i just use the low caps for training mags
