Are Taran Tactical Mag Extenders Reliable?

[brickboy240]

I have three plus 2 bases for my 8rd Shield mags. All were a tad stiff loading the 10th round when new but never any feeding issues and none have come apart yet.

So far....so good with these base plates.

When shot to slide lock and reload mag slammed into pistol- slide automatically goes forward into battery, without using slide stop/release.

That is why I didn't jump on the M&P 2.0 train. My gen 1's both auto forward and I love it! Use them for IDPA and have no 2nd thoughts about CCing the 4.25". I put the extra power springs in my mags for the 10 round count for the games.

I hated mine.

I had 1 for my G19.5. It was a + 3/4. Never had an issue with it.

I've not experienced any reliability problems, I just disliked the way they change the balance. They worked better for me on the 43 than on the 19 or 17 which already hold enough rounds for my needs.
