Does anyone carry a fullsize or compact with the factory + baseplate? Does it print? How is the reliability? Can you really get two more cartridges in the .40 mags?

Tried it once but thought it was kind of pointless in the end as it basically makes the 19 into a 17 for concealment purposes and prints as such. There are 2 +2 plates from Glock, the older one is a short wedge and it gives 2 in 9mm and 1 in .40/357. The newer one is taller and while also a wedge, appears to have a slight divot in the front. That model gives +2 in .40 and 357. I believe it may also give 1 in .45GAP but as I've never tried it I can't say for 100% certain.

I carry a G19 magazine with a factory +2 baseplate for my carry reload.

I don't carry it as my primary magazine because it makes the grip area nearly the same length as my G17.

I actually carry a G17 w/+2 as a spare CCW and 2-4x 17's at work but in the gun it does make it harder to hide.

Thank you.



Where is the cheapest place to buy one? Is Glockparts shipping still $3?

One of you has to know this.

Sorry man, I get my stuff factory direct so I really don't know. Good luck getting what you need.

Oh, and in case you didn't already know, stick with the Glock factory plates, I've had pretty mixed results with the knock-offs.

I don't carry it as my primary magazine because it makes the grip area nearly the same length as my G17. ––- agreed.

I didn't have a G17 & G34 when I bought it,  so all I had were G19 magazines.

What happened is I screwed up the basepad on a G19 magazine taking it off. So I ordered a +2 from glockparts to try it out (and a GTUL to disassemble magazines).  

I could switch it over to one of my G17 magazines for 19 rounds, but I'm lazy.

Does anyone else have anything to add?
