agp arms mag extension for 45acp gives you extra 4 rounds

[Buzzfuzz]

I made up 4 of them. I love them. The spring makes it snap perfectly. It really is a nice quality kit for making you mags hold more musket balls. I paint them to themes and they offer alot of surface for design. Buzz

AGP and Adorondo mag extention report

Thanks for the input. I'll give them a try.

Damn. $21 for an extra 4 rounds, or $19.99 for another 13 rd mag. What is the benefit of the extra 4 rds?

The extra four rounds are just that, extra. In a life/death situation you want to have more rounds on deck than the other guy, so while he is reloading you can land more rounds. Now if you miss, then you will be reloading while he is shooting.

Will the extra four rounds help someone like me? Probably not. Would I consider the upgrade? Definitely. I'd would like a theoretical edge over my adversary.

Extra four rounds in mag > tactical reload.

If you're still fighting after 14 rds you are in over your head. Maybe for LEO it would be OK, but for the rest of us it doesn't sound very effective.

This is a similar argument to what they use in California and New York to restrict mag capacity to 10 rounds. I don't give the argument much credence. It isn't for you or the state or city or federal government to decide what is or isn't over my or anyone else's head.

If LEO need that many rounds, why aren't they in over their head? What makes their life or death situation any different from any other life or death situation?

If (fortune forbid) I were put in a situation where I'm barricaded in a room with my wife behind me and someone (burglar, rapist, assassin, zombie, random addict) is intent on doing us harm with their weapon, I'd like to be as secure in my weapon and its capacity, accuracy, reliability, and my competence as possible. Why? Because when seconds count the police are only minutes away. And if the attacker has the benefit of cover, I want to know that I'm not going to run dry when I'm returning fire.

Is this scenario ever likely to happen? No. Absolutely not. I'd rather be prepared for it and rest easy knowing that the preparation is there if needed even though it likely won't be. Same reason why I have a spare tire. Same reason why I have an extra $20 bill tucked away in different pocket from my wallet. Same reason why I have a smoke/CO detector. Etc...

What makes you or California, or New York the authority on how many rounds are needed in a magazine?

I never said anything about restricting rounds.

That's right, it's not. Unfortunately, you won't know you're in over your head until it's too late so I guess you aren't qualified either.

If the answer to those questions isn't obvious to you I don't know why I should even try to answer them. Cops get paid to put themselves in positions where they might have to use their guns. There is a good chance they might end up in a shootout. What percentage of CCW holders have had to pull and use their gun? What percentage of cops have had to pull and use theirs? Duh.

If (fortune forbid) I were put in a situation where I'm barricaded in a room with my wife behind me and someone (burglar, rapist, assassin, zombie, random addict) is intent on doing us harm with their weapon, I'd like to be as secure in my weapon and its capacity, accuracy, reliability, and my competence as possible.

So your trapped in a room that provides cover and/or concealment and you're just going to be blasting rounds away with reckless abandon? If you've got cover you've got time to reload. If they are an immediate threat, as in 5-10 ft away, and you can't get them with 14 rds, what makes you think the extra 4 will matter?

Why? Because when seconds count the police are only minutes away. And if the attacker has the benefit of cover, I want to know that I'm not going to run dry when I'm returning fire.

No argument there.

Again, I don't care how many you load. For my $20 I'd rather have another mag. Maybe if I was carrying all the mags I could and still didn't feel safe enough I would look at these things.

In competition they might actually have a practical use because you could go through X rounds without losing as much time reloading. If you find yourself in a fire fight at the mall I really doubt having 4 more in the mag is going to matter if you didn't get all the bad guys with the first 14.

How about as a law abiding, adult, U.S. Citizen, I get to decide how many rounds I would like carry on a regular basis.

That should be reason enough.

But if it isn't, then how about the fact that I, and only I, am responsible for the safety of my family and so it should be my decision on how I prepare and provide for such safety.
