M&P .45FS mag extension?

[spd556]

Does anyone know of any .45FS mag buttplate/basepad replacement that would increase capacity (say plus 2)? I'm looking to see if there is something out there that would increase capacity without going to the 14 rnd mags.

I'm not sure if Arrendando makes anything for the .45 or not, but I have not read many good reviews about that device.

Arrendondo does make them. Never bought any yet. Just the 9/40 ones.

really?

I looked on the Arrendondo web site and didnt see any....

Same for all.

I think there the same unit for all of them(9mm, .40 & .45). Appearently, there isn't anyone else out there filling this need. You would think Pearce would be all over the M&P.

I have read nothing but problems with the Aredondo base pads for the 45 platform. It has something to do with the retaining bump inside the magazine. You have to file it flat to get the follower to go down far enogh to gain the extra rounds. I bought the 14 round mags for my 45 FS and stripped them down and replaced the horrendous extention with 10-8 performance base pads for the 14 round mag. Expensive, but well worth it in my opinion.

Try here. I've bought half a dozen mags from him over the past year...reliable, good prices, prompt delivery in my experience.
