Pearce Grips, Grip Extensions

Perfect fit on my gen 2 glock 23. It was very easy to remove the original base plate on my mags and replaced them with this style type grip extension. Of course I first previewed some youtube vids on how to do it to make sure I didn't mess anything up and it helped. I especially like the optional filler piece included with the extension as it fills up the semi-circular area on the bottom the grip. I don't have very big hands and my gun's grip was already comfortable for me however I always felt the semi-circular area on the edge of my pinky finger when I held my gun. With the pearce grip extension adding 1/2 in of extra grip space and the filler piece in place, my grip on the gun feels alot better. I no longer feel the semi-circular area on the edge of my pinky as it has 'persay' disappeared and my overall grip is wider and more comfortable now. Shooting my gun was even better. Yes, you do feel the extra lip edge of the pearce grip extension when you cup the grip but I found this to be even better as it gave my 'cupping' hand that extra edge to hold to at the bottom of my grip when the gun recoiled. Overall I'm happy with this item and purchase. One more point...Yes, it does change the look of your glock in a way. The grip adds a 'curved' edge look to the glock and makes it look like a different pistol somewhat. Glock purist (like myself) might not like this at first and it's really up to the individual to decide what they like to add to their gun(s) but after adding this piece to my gun's mag and having great results I've changed my tune and don't really care now of the off look.

Update March 20, 2014: I have since removed the Pearce Grip Extensions from my XDs mags because when concealed carrying in my Crossbreed IWB appendix holster, the horn of the grip extension sticks out and prints under my cover garment. If the added grip length doesn't print in your concealed carry rig, then carry the XDs extended mags that give you two additional rounds for your trouble, as well as additional grip length. The Springfield XDs in 9mm is a real shooter and a fabulous carry gun, but it takes some getting used to due to its small size. With additional range practice, I was able to take the grip extension "training wheels" off my carry weapon and enjoy significantly better concealment. Review January 7, 2014: How to Install Pearce Grip Extension on Springfield XDs Magazines The extension fits my 9mm XDs perfectly and works very well. However, the installation is a little tricky, and no pictures are given in the Pearce instructions or Pearce website. There is a good Youtube dot com video demonstrating the procedure: search for "Pearce Grip Extension: Springfield XDs". Below are my instructions; before you start, study the exploded view of the mag in your XDs operation manual on page 31 (9mm) or page 34 (0.45ACP). To start, put on your safety glasses to protect your eyes in case the spring flies out. Grip the mag in your right hand with curved side to the left and the mag base plate facing up with your right thumb over it. Use a punch or Q-tip stick with the cotton cut off to depress the 5mm circular button in the center of the stock mag base. With the button depressed, slide the mag base toward the curved side of the mag until the hole in the base clears the button and the mag floor plate is exposed. Put down the punch and grip the mag with your right thumb over mag floor plate that is now visible. Holding the mag floor plate and spring in place with your right thumb, slide the stock mag base to the left completely off, then slide the Pearce grip extension on the same way. Make sure to engage both edges of the mag body in the grooves in the grip extension. The mag base plate should easily slide off and on with firm steady pressure applied with your left (free) thumb. When the grip extension is all the way on you should hear a click as the button snaps into place; if you dont, the mag floor plate is tilted inside the mag and you need to slide the grip extension back open and reposition the mag floor plate properly under your right thumb before closing up the mag. Enjoy!

This is an excellent product and addition to the XDs45 magazine. The extension will give you more confidence when drawing the pistol from a holster or pants pocket, as you can hook the little finger around it. Also, the lip provides a purchase point should you carry the 5-round magazine for a spare (or two, as I do), as the magazine fits low in a magazine carrier. I don't use the extension when shooting, but it does add a finishing touch to the pistol. WARNING! The magazine spring is under extreme tension. Ensure that you have your face away from the magazine base during replacement. The XDs magazine does not have a provision (as in some magazines) to capture the floor plate. You can be injured if your are not keeping constant pressure on the magazine floor plate. At the minimum, parts can go flying and if Murphy's Law is working, you may never find them. You will then have a XDs magazine repair kit on your hands, minus whatever parts that you can't find. The magazine extension is well made and fits the XDs45 magazine snugly = very snugly. Slide the magazine extension onto the magazine while holding the magazine locking plate down to allow the extension to slide over the locking pin. At this point, you can release the magazine locking plate. Continue to push the magazine onto the magazine. The magazine will click into place. Load the magazine to capacity to ensure that the magazine base is fully seated and that the magazine locking plate pin is firmly in place. A Word to the wise: Should you, as I did, lose the magazine locking plate due to components flying through the air with the greatest of ease, it will not be replaced by Springfield, as they do not offer any magazine parts with the exception of the spring. Resign yourself, as I did, to purchase a new (and whole) magazine and relegate the (now unserviceable) disassembled magazine to the "magazine repair parts' bin. I normally do a 6' drop test into a cardboard box to ensure that the magazine will not come apart when dropped on the ground. The magazine extension does not seem to interfere with concealment.

Great product I highly recommend it, really improves the economics of the pistol.

They fit good... thanks

Nice, worked good

Ho acquistato 2 pad per aumentare il grip dell'impugnatura di una nuova Glock mod 42. Perfetti, calzano a pennello e permettono di impugnare correttamente e saldamente l'arma. L'installazione (tutorial Youtube) è semplicissima. Prodotto come da descrizione e velocità di spedizione superlativa.

These are just right for smaller gun grip, they give you that extra space for your little finger, without adding extra rounds (Canadian laws)makes it look a whole lot nicer too (see my pics)fits on glocks 17 (regular ones everyone has including KelTec sub 2000 pics were taken with it on a KelTec sub)My mags were factory Glocks so i don't know if they would fit on KCI's, i dont have any of those, but it's just an insert that slides on and blocks with the pin under the mag. Hope Amazon gets more of these soon i got the 2 last ones and i need more. EDIT: Got 2 more it took a bit of time but now all my 10 rounders have that grip extension, very happy with them makes a world of difference with smaller grips. Highly recommend.

Excellent... Most needed
