Taylor Freelance Magazine Extensions

The next stop on this project was increased magazine capacity. I plan on adding a magwell as well at some point, but with speed reloads not being particularly necessary in steel shooting it isnt a priority just yet. Keeping that in mind, the arredondo mag extensions where off the table (they aren't beveled to fit in any magwell currently on the market), so that left Taylor Freelance the best alternative. Price being an issue, i opted for the aluminum 140mm model but the brass version was mighty tempting.

Install was a breeze; everything went together like it had been there all along. My only beef wa that the inside of the base wasnt beveled where it interacted with the carrier, making loading a bit tricky. After tiring of slapping the magazine around, i pulled the thing apart and beveled it myself with a jewelers file. No problems since.

All things considered, this is the best aftermarket pistol mag extension ive ever used. Its a bit pricier than the arredondo, but its 100% worth the worksmanship and resiliency. If money was less a factor i would spring for the brass model for a little more weight to bring recoil down a bit more, but at the end of the day the aluminum bases are solid performers.
