M&P 9c magazine finger extension

[s0nspark]

Thanks for publishing the picture. I think that will be a big help to folks trying to figure this particular thing out.

No problem at all

Funny on the 40 vs 9 decision... I don't currently have a 9mm, but it was the lower cost of ammo that sparked me to consider getting one. I'm getting lost in the fog of the never-ending 40 vs. 9mm debate.

I will probably end up with the 9mm, because I've found a really good deal on one and the dealer doesn't have any 40cs in stock. The M&P rebate ends Monday.

I understand. I recently switched to 9mm across the board.

I looked at and shot .40cal while trying to decide but, from what I've read, terminal performance differences between 9mm and .40cal is negligible with good ammo. The cheaper cost of 9mm ammo was a factor, as was the fact that my wife and kids shoot my guns also - 9mm is easier for all of us to control while working on the fundamentals

Someday I'll add a .45acp or two, but for now 9mm works best for me.

A little bit of skater tape (aka 3M anti-skid floor tape from Lowe's) on the front of the pinky extension makes the M&P 9c a lot easier to hold on to...

I called S&W on friday and they are sending me a pinky extension for my other 12 round magazine... for free.

I'm loving my M&P 9c... 200 rounds, flawlessly.

 

[dondavis3]

Yep they are still doing it for free.

I just called S&W - 1-800-331-0852 - press #4 -

They gave me 2 extended mag caps (I bought a 3rd mag) & I bought 2 Xgrip for $15.

It will ship this week.

If you call S&W make sure they know it's for a 12rd M&P9c, the part listed at the website is for the 10rd 9c mag and doesn't work on the 12rd.(Guess how I know) The X-Grip ext is also available from Midway, runs around $15.

That includes if you live in a state with magazine capacity regulations. I called S&W and asked for a couple of extensions. I live in MA, S&W is based in MA, you'd think they'd know that I needed the 10 round ones. Nope, they sent me the 12 round bases. Totally different design between the 10 round and 12 round magazine bases. Why? I don't know, but I suspect lawyers were involved.

They did send me the right ones when I called back.

Pretty cool that I can just pick up the phone and call, then they send one right out. Way go go S&W!!

finger extension

thanks didnt know u could get finger extension with out buying magazine hands way to big for other magazine without extension

 

[JimG23]

Yep, got mine saturday, 11 days after calling s&w.

 

[uechikid]

I see that S&W was sending these out for free a year ago. Is that still the case? I just bought 2 from Midway and paid $12 with their "bend you over shipping".

 

[mojoe1968]

i called s&w and they sent me 2, no charge. Only took about 1 1/2 weeks

I just ordered 2 at no charge too. I also asked about magazines and he said they are made by outside vendors and they have no idea when they'll be getting more in.

PINKY EXTENSION

I'm so glad I found this thread. I read the posts and promptly called Smith and Wesson... 2 minutes later I have an extension on the way! Thanks everyone!

Got mine yesterday, took about 2-weeks.

Thanks to whoever resurrected this thread. Just called and I have one coming my way again. Thanks for the heads up and awesome CS by S&W. Great site by the way, I look forward to participating more.

As for choosing the M&P9C or M&P40C, if it were me and I was happy with the M&P40 I'd lean towards the M&P40C to be able to use the full-size mags in the compact and to avoid having another caliber to purchase (assuming you don't already have 9mms) ... $0.02

Thank you for posting that great magazine comparison photo. I've found the 9c grip to be too short for my two fingers when using the flat base plate magazine and too short for three fingers when using the magazine extension. I wish someone would make a 14-round magazine with an X-Grip type adapter because I find the 17-round magazine to be too long for carry.

Still Valid

Just got off the phone with S&W and they're still sending out free magazine extensions.

1-800-331-0852 - press #4, name, phone number, address, done.

 

[RED ZMAN]

I picked up a 9C yesterday and can verify they STILL do this. The extension to dial is #2 now though. Thanks everyone.

 

[Black69]

Got one sent to me also. Made the call and had to wait for a minute as there were other calls before me but answered quickly. Told them I had been looking for some and was not able to find them in stock and would like to order one. Told me they would send one out free of charge. Took my info and said it will be in the mail. Great service!

M&P Magazine Finger Rest

My son called today and he was told...sorry can't help you. You'll have to buy a new magazine for your new M&P Shield 9mm.
*** ???

When I called for my 9c & later for my 40c I got the same treatment as other posters. One for each in the mail gratis.

I'll call tomorrow and see what's up.
I hope this is just an aberration and not a new policy.

I did the same. Called the week of Christmas and said I was looking to purchase a pinky extension for my 9c and the guy said he would send one free of charge......it arrived yesterday.

Just tried calling S&W, they are out of stock, and just told me to "call back another time" lol.
She did say the part # for the pinky extension if we have the 12rnd mags is: 278360000
Just fyi
