Glock Clip Extender Installation

Installing a clip extender to the magazine of your Glock handgun can serve two purposes. First, it increases the bullet capacity of the magazine and, secondly, it acts as a grip extension providing you greater surface space on the grip of the pistol; this second feature can be particularly useful if you're modifying the magazine of a compact or sub-compact Glock model. Before installing a clip extension to your pistol, check your local laws concerning any restrictions on magazine capacity.

Things You'll Need
