The Pearce Grip PG42+1 Magazine Extension transforms the compact Glock 42 into a more controllable platform while adding crucial ammunition capacity. This polymer extension increases magazine capacity by one round and provides essential grip surface for enhanced control during rapid fire sequences.
What Makes This Different
Unlike generic magazine extensions that compromise reliability, the PG42+1 maintains the Glock 42's factory spring tension through precise engineering tolerances. The extension integrates seamlessly with the pistol's frame geometry, creating a natural grip transition that feels like a factory configuration. Most aftermarket extensions add bulk without proportional benefits, but this unit delivers maximum capacity gain with minimal size increase.

The extended grip surface significantly improves shooting dynamics for users with larger hands who struggle with the G42's compact frame.

The additional round capacity proves valuable in concealed carry applications where reload opportunities may be limited. Law enforcement officers appreciate the enhanced controllability during qualification courses and duty carry scenarios.
