OK..for years on CZ 75 Compacts, PCR or P-01 I have used full size higher capacity mags over extensions as back ups.
Is it really just looks vs function.
Glocks are the prime examples of this with all the compact double stacks it is just cheaper to buy or use your G17 mags as back ups.
I will admit I dig the looks of a nice base extension but a well made support sleeve to fill the gap helps with the looks on a higher capacity mag.
Mag, base plate extension plus new spring..you can buy four magazines almost for the same money.
Also... I have had really good luck with the ETS mags.
Not indestructible but decently sturdy and have survived some stuff that would trash a metal magazine.
What are your thoughts ?
