Default Reliable Shield magazine extensions?

I am considering purchasing a magazine extension for one of my spare mags. Which ones are the most reliable? I want to add 1-2 rounds to the spare mag but I want something that has proven to be reliable.

I use Magguts +2 in two factory 8 round mags.

No issues with either mag, with 200-300 rounds run in each.

Only adds about a 1/4 inch to the mag length, so no issues concealing.

HYVE extensions on 3 of my 7rd 45 shield mags.
Been over 2 yrs now not a single issue with any of the mag or function of weapon.

This is the best replacement magazine I've ever found for the Shield

I use the Magguts +2 in a couple of my Shield mags. Never had a failure with either one. The +2 will work in the 7 round or 8 round mags and adds only about 1/8th inch to the overall length of the mag. I installed them in 7 round mags and have 9 +1 with no significant increase in grip length.

Bought the Hyve +1 extensions for my 7-round mags (turning them into and making them similar in size to the 8-round mags that I was used to). The little bit of extra weight is wonderful when dropping the mag. Uses stock spring. No malfunctions.

My vote goes to the Magguts spring.

Try the Strike Industries +2 extension for the 7 round magazines. I have two of them and now buy 7 round mags and add these to them for carry.

I use the Pearce PG-MPS+ +2 extension on my Shield 7-round mags.
