The Shield Arms G17ME5BLK Magazine Extension transforms standard Glock magazines into high-capacity solutions, adding 5 additional rounds without compromising reliability. This precision-machined aluminum extension integrates seamlessly with factory Glock magazines to deliver enhanced capacity for competitive shooting and tactical applications.
What Makes This Different
Unlike polymer extensions that can crack under stress, this black anodized aluminum construction withstands repeated loading cycles and impact. The extension maintains the original magazine's feeding geometry while extending overall length by just 1.25 inches. CNC-machined from 6061-T6 aluminum, it delivers consistent performance across temperature extremes from -40°F to 160°F.
