    Default Magazine extensions, +1, +2 or +3

    Hi Everyone.

    I hope you are all well.

    I don’t know if this has been discussed or not but here I go anyway.

    For those of you who have experience with this, your assistance would be highly appreciated.

    So if you have a g19, Cz P07 or any other preferred edc carry gun for all intensive purposes and you decide to add a magazine extension, by how much would the height of your gun (Grip Length) generally increase and how would this affect carrying positions and printing in general?

    Thanks

    It makes the magazine longer, meaning it hides more difficult. It sometimes also affect reliability, so not always recommended. If you have a P07, it'll take 16 rounds anyway, so that's fine. If you have a G19 and you want more ammos, I'd rather get a G17 magazine from the onset. You'll save in the reliability part.

    Okay I’m with you, do you by any chance know for instance by how much longer a g17 mag would be in comparison to g19 mag. So if a stock g19 stand 5inches tall what would the height be with the longer mag??

    I carry with the standard mag generally. Unless printing isn't an issue. I carry the +2 mag as my spare. When I get home, the extended mag goes in.

    My +2 shoe came in the box from CZ, so reliability shouldn't be an issue. But obviously I've run them at the range successfully too.

    Okay would you say that the extension adds about 10/12mm in height to the firearm in question?

    Okay so there is quite a difference in height, how many of you actually carry mag extensions permanently on your edc carry guns?

    I carry 2 std mags, spare mag downloaded by 1.
    Going far from home, dodgy areas I carry more mags.

    Concealment means more to me than the extra 2 rounds.

    Yes that makes sense as well.

    On to my next question than, would everyone be on the open to the statement that both the g19 and CZ P07 are ideal ccw options in their standard forms?

    100% yes. Both have great reputations and both standard mags are pretty hardy/reliable. I would not mess with my standard CC magazine.
