The Shield Arms G19ME5RED Magazine Extension transforms standard Glock 19 and 23 magazines into higher-capacity platforms with five additional rounds. This red anodized aluminum extension maintains the compact profile while delivering tactical advantages for competitive shooting and professional applications.
What Makes This Different
Unlike polymer alternatives, this extension features CNC-machined aluminum construction with Type III hard anodizing for superior durability. The precision engineering ensures reliable feeding across both 9mm Luger and .40 S&W platforms. Shield Arms incorporates a spring-loaded follower system that maintains consistent magazine function while adding 31% more capacity to standard Glock magazines.
Key Features
- Adds 5 rounds to Glock 19/23 magazines (increases to 20 rounds for 9mm, 18 rounds for .40 S&W)
- CNC-machined 6061-T6 aluminum with Type III hard anodizing in tactical red finish
- Compatible with factory Glock springs and followers - no modifications required
- Maintains reliability with both ball and hollow point ammunition

- Tool-free installation with included hardware and instructions

Field performance demonstrates consistent function through thousands of rounds without failure-to-feed issues. The extension proves particularly valuable in competitive environments where reload speed matters, and for duty applications requiring maximum ammunition capacity. The hard anodized finish resists wear from repeated magazine changes and environmental exposure.
