Pearce Grips, Grip Extensions

It fits, feels good, seems well made. Removal and replace was difficult. Watch YouTube videos first. I used pliers to pull the original cap off only it took a good deal of effort resulting in end cap completely coming free from magazine. The button piece flew away and the spring was left on my table. I searched for the end cap button piece and was surprised to have found it. I was doing this in my cluttered garage. Replacement then went smoothly. I found a needle in a hay stack!

Ordered the Pearce Grips, Grip Extensions for my Taurus PT709 7 round magazine (stated to also fit also fits PT740). Received the extensions in two day by USPS (We are Prime Members). It was a tight fit in the groves with my magazine, but just take your time and it will slide on snuggly. You do not want a loose fit anyway. Originally ordered 1 to check it out, but the extension felt so good in the hand when the magazine was in the PT709 that I just ordered another one for my second magazine. This gives that little extra for the lower small finger to rest instead of hanging in limbo and adds additional grip support to control the PT709 during firing. If you have extremely large hands, you may want to go with a longer extension, but I carry this concealed and did not want the longer extension to pultrude trough the clothing concealing the weapon.Update 8/11/2017: OUTBAGS LOB2P-709 Brown Genuine Leather OWB Open Carry Pancake, Side Carry Belt Holster for Taurus PT709 Slim 9mmThe holster is outstanding as the Taurus PT709 Slim fits in it snuggly and is not a loose fitting. The form of the holster was made exactly to form to the PT709. It is still slim enough to still conceal under a loosely fit shirt not tucked in. It is comfortable to wear on my right OWB hip. The material is finely made of brown leather with great stitching. The PT709 mounts in the holster with a great fit and the barrel does not extend out the bottom opening. You can wear this with a slim and wide belt as you desire. They sell this holster in a right hand and left hand models on amazon at $31.99. Great price for a quality product you will love and comfortable to wear.Pearce Grips, Grip Extensions, for Taurus PT709 and PT 740, $9.49 each.Also received my second Pearce Grip Extension for my Taurus PT709 and also seen in the pictures with the (OUTBAGS LOB2P-709 Brown Genuine Leather OWB Open Carry Pancake, Side Carry Belt Holster for Taurus PT709 Slim 9mm) from Amazon. The Grip Extension fits good and snug like the other I previously ordered and was easy to put on the 7 round magazine. Fits great in the Taurus PT709 magazine opening and is also a snug fit.

This is an excellent product and addition to the XDs45 magazine. The extension will give you more confidence when drawing the pistol from a holster or pants pocket, as you can hook the little finger around it. Also, the lip provides a purchase point should you carry the 5-round magazine for a spare (or two, as I do), as the magazine fits low in a magazine carrier. I don't use the extension when shooting, but it does add a finishing touch to the pistol.WARNING!The magazine spring is under extreme tension. Ensure that you have your face away from the magazine base during replacement. The XDs magazine does not have a provision (as in some magazines) to capture the floor plate. You can be injured if your are not keeping constant pressure on the magazine floor plate. At the minimum, parts can go flying and if Murphy's Law is working, you may never find them. You will then have a XDs magazine repair kit on your hands, minus whatever parts that you can't find.The magazine extension is well made and fits the XDs45 magazine snugly = very snugly.Slide the magazine extension onto the magazine while holding the magazine locking plate down to allow the extension to slide over the locking pin. At this point, you can release the magazine locking plate. Continue to push the magazine onto the magazine. The magazine will click into place. Load the magazine to capacity to ensure that the magazine base is fully seated and that the magazine locking plate pin is firmly in place.A Word to the wise: Should you, as I did, lose the magazine locking plate due to components flying through the air with the greatest of ease, it will not be replaced by Springfield, as they do not offer any magazine parts with the exception of the spring. Resign yourself, as I did, to purchase a new (and whole) magazine and relegate the (now unserviceable) disassembled magazine to the "magazine repair parts' bin.I normally do a 6' drop test into a cardboard box to ensure that the magazine will not come apart when dropped on the ground.The magazine extension does not seem to interfere with concealment.

perfect for the 7 round Shield factory mag, gives the pinky the grip it lacked. and still conceals well. A+
