did you get any?I just ordered a couple to try on my m&p

Yes.

They work.

We use them in USPSA, when they are available.

I picked up a few and they work well. The only thing is it is tough to get round 23 in; at 22 rounds they can be inserted on a closed slide easily.

Great.

Don’t use them for carry or anything that requires high octane dependability rates.

Such advice goes alongside all magazine extensions that modify factory magazines.

Now days, anything with the word Tactical in it just makes my ass tired. What’s so tactical about these anyway? They might be good for competition, but tactical?!?!

I hear you, but…in and of itself “tactical” is quite fitting for a lot of things. My suit is tactical when I’m going to a job interview, as is my calculator when I’m working equations. I agree that it’s not really used that way, but if the goal is to win with the fastest time, and the tactic is to reload less, then this helps that and is therefor tactical…

Well, they certainly look nice, I’m tempted to order one but I’ve gotten into the habit of of flicking my wrist when it’s time for a mag change and that sends the mag flying. Please do post on how these work when you get them. Thanks!

They can fly. They won’t break.

I wrote a whole soliloquy on the word “Tactical”.

ok, they came in the mail today.My initial thoughts are that it is pretty solid, they fit tight on the bottom of the mag.There is a small pin that keeps them from sliding around and even if the pin got pushed down for removal the spring still holds them in place.hopefully I’ll get to the range friday to try them out.I liked that one of my mags was only 15rds? but now holds 23,I have it loaded to 22 and it seats good with the slide closed.here are a couple pictures.
here the two are next to a stock mag.


here you can see the pin
