Ruger SR9c Mag Extension

[Rid'nDrty]

I picked up my new Ruger today and it has a pinky extension for the 10 rd magazine. How do you install it? I cant get the flat magazine base off the 10rd mag to put the pinky extension on it. Dont want to break it so how is it done?

Most magazines have a hole in the center of the base-plate (my Ruger LCP is this way, and all of my other non-1911 guns). Press down into this hole with a punch or a thin rod - this will relieve tension on the base-plate which will then slide off (either to the front or the back, depending on the pistol).

Slide the plate about half way and put a few fingers over the gap created so that you can prevent the magazine spring from flinging out.

Then, compress the magazine spring into the mag and slide the new base-plate back on. Sometimes you have to wiggle it around until it snaps into place.

Like I said, works this way on my Ruger LCP (similar pinky-rest setup) and my buddy who owns an SR9 is 99% sure the SR9 mags are the same way.
