If you put the Glock +2 on your magazines, you need to upgrade the springs too. The existing spring won't have enough push. Glockmeister sells a +2 "kit" with the correct spring included. The other option is the one I recommend. Just use model 17 magazines. They are more reliable, don't stick out as far, AND its a lot cheaper to by a 17 magazine then a 19 magazine an upgraded spring and the +2. They don't really stick out far enough to matter, or need an extension. For CCW I carry a regular mag in the 19 and 17 mags in the pouch. Works great. Non-Glock +2s have a bad reputation for coming off and helping you do a tactical speed unload. As of Yesterday Cope's Distributing had NIB Glock 17 mags for $15.99. The +2 extenstion at Glockmeister runs $12 or so. |
Seriously, Lancelot has some awesome advice regarding 17 mags. I would never trust my gun with plus twos for carry. I used to have them on a G17 duty gun. I pulled up on a family fight with shots fired a long time ago. When I got out of my car, my mag snagged on the lip of my seatbelt. All 19 rounds were quickly dumped on the pavement. We're not talking about a ton of force that it took to pop that base plate off. If yo go the 17 route, I believe Glockmeister also has a sleeve to go around the bottom of the 17 mag to fill in the gap. IIRC, it's made by Pierce. |
| The newer + magazine extension from Glock does not pop off as easy as the original ones did. It has an insert that helps lock it into place. The newer + will add three rounds to 9mm and 2 for the .40. I have not had any problems using them for my M19 and M17 magazines. I do use the plus springs from glockmeister.com. However, I agree with using the M17 mags for your M19. If your M19 is for defense, then I would recommend sticking with the M17 mags. |
