The Pachmayr 03852 Mag Sleeve transforms standard Glock 19 and 23 magazines into seamless extensions for compact Glock 26 and 27 pistols. This polymer adapter eliminates the grip gap while maintaining reliable feeding and ejection across all compatible models.
What Makes This Different
Unlike basic grip extensions that only add length, this sleeve creates a flush fit between magazine and frame. The precision-molded polymer construction matches Glock's factory tolerances for consistent lockup. Standard magazine sleeves often create feeding issues, but Pachmayr's design maintains the original magazine geometry for reliable function.
