Hey folks, what would you recommend for a M&P 2.0 9mm magwell that will accommodate mag extensions? Also, what mag extensions? This will be for a full size M&P 2.0 duty pistol. Thanks!
A bunch of our guys have been running the Springer Precision mag wells and baseplates. I have one and one of their extention baseplate kits (I think it's a +5). The magwell will also work with the longer 10-8 mag baseplates but not the short ones.
It leaves a small flat lip of the inside portion of the frame and I didn't like that so I used progressively finer grades of sandpaper to blend the frame to the magwell... Depending on what your department's requirements are, this could be prohibited. It is on my department and I only did it because this pistol is for training and fun and not duty use.
The mag extension is retained by a small set screw and I'm not convinced it's a duty-worthy addition, so it's for practice and messing around. Some of our guys use them for competition, but they're prohibited for duty use.
Thanks SoCalDep. I would prefer not to make any permanent modifications but I'm not 100% opposed to it. I'm sure I would encounter this "lip" issue with any magwell.
I run a Speed shooters specialties on my pro, which i believe springer precision bought out. With springer base pads. But I use mine strictly for IDPA. I've had this set up on mine for a few seasons and had no problems. Taylor tactical makes great accessories as well.
