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

Re: Magazine extensions, +1, +2 or +3
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.

Re: Magazine extensions, +1, +2 or +3
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.

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.
