Ode to the Extendo

[BET7]

Nice article on extended magazines. I have several. two 40 rounders coupled together for use in either my 5.56 or 300 BO ARs, 33 rounds (and up) glock mags for my Glock pistols and Sub2K 9 & 40 and other PCCs that take Glock mags, 50 round drum mags for the same, not to mention a few 50 round drum mags for my Thompson 1927 A1 . I find them a blast to shoot, and I don't have to reload that much down at the range, what could be better .

An Ode to "the Extendo": In Praise of the Extended Magazine: the "Extendo Clip" for work and pleasure

What's an extendo? Colloquially an "extendo clip" is a higher capacity mag than one might typically see in an OEM mag, depending on the weapon of course.

The more the merrier for me, agreed!

After loading 30 rounds, my hands need a break!

The Surefire quad stacks, you mean? They’re still around, as are the 100 rounders. Have a few of both. They work fine.

One drawback, though—don’t drop them! They'll puke 10-15 rounds if fully loaded...

Taking them apart is easy, but putting back together is tasking.

I wondered about that actually.

The only extended magazines I own are the Glock 33-round factory mags. I never use them in my pistols, but they are a lot of fun in my PCC's. Or, at least they were before 9mm became impossible to find. I still try to head to the range every month or so, but the Ruger PC Carbine and the Kel-Tec Sub2000 aren't likely to be brought with me.
