Be careful with the +2 plates. I dropped my loaded OEM G17 mag with the glock +2 on the floor at my range. It came apart. Parts and half the ammo went everywhere. I still haven't found the follower. No more extended baseplates for me.  That must have been spectacular when that happened. I have dropped a loaded G17 mag with the extended base plate and it did not come apart you must have hit it just right. |

A lot of people don't realize you have to also get the +2 retainer for the extension. Most places sell these separately, instead of in a kit like they should be, therfore most people don't realize you need both pieces. Just snapping a +2 extension onto a mag without the retainer will cause quite a show when dropping partials on the ground. Kaboing! |

No more extended baseplates for me. I was riding with my partner one night when we lit a vehicle up, I'm right handed and as I exited the vehicle my +2 extension hit the door frame resulting in the extension coming off leaving me with the one round in the chamber. This was a FIRST generation +2 that didn't have the insert. Now the ONLY extension I trust is the ones offered by Taylor Freelance. You'd have to DESTROY the magazine to knock one off. |

Yes I know I made an order once got just the base and was pissed because I assumed the insert came with it and had to make another order just to get the inserts. It blows my mind that the insert is not included. |

It blows my mind that the insert is not included. Agreed, it is silly to have to purchase them separately. But, I think the fact that you DO have to purchase each piece and the fact that Pearce +2's and such ilk don't use a modified retainer leads to some confusion for the less informed. The failures that I have personally witnessed have been a direct result of either Pearce extensions, or OEM without the correct retainer. I have since switched to the TTI Firepower +4. It actually falls right in between the taper of the OEM +2 size wise. A little longer in the back, a little shorter in front. Better attachment method, and +3 to +4 depending on your magazine. Only downside is, they are a little pricey. |
