Been using these for about a month on my MK9 daily carry and I started noticing that the extension was working its way off the bottom of the magazine. I did some tests, even installed the spare one I had and got the same results.
I did some web research and I'm not the only one, but since I did not see it mentioned here I wanted to share. I'll be going back to the stock base plates going forward.

When ever I eject the mag and reload quickly in classes I have to readjust slice the Pearce plastic to re-snap it. I think it's the first thing that hits the ground and cause the unsnap. The plastic clip protrusion if longer might solve the problem?

Mine worked its way off, too. I just took it off and put it back in the drawer.

Yep, they're hit and miss. By the way

I've only used one and it's been fine. Just lucky I guess. Welcome MKA.
