Finger Pinch with Magazine Finger Extension

[gmcjetpilot]

Is there a fix for the finger pinch I'm experiencing with a Pearce pinky extension. This of course does not happen with the pinky off the gun with a standard flat plate magazine bottom.... I read that some put a rubber "O" ring on the magazine to fill the gap..... It really is painful. The first time I shot with the pinky extension (which I thought would make it more comfortable and accurate) it hurt like heck.

You could try slipping a thin o-ring over the magazine to take up any space between the extension and the grip. I'm not a fan of pinky extensions. You are only supposed to grip the gun with the middle two fingers of the strong hand.

The o-ring worked really well on my CM9 although the magazine follower broke shortly afterwards. Not sure if the two were connected.

It makes the MAG slightly harder to install.... and it does not really fill the gap... I am going to bring the box of O-rings back. I think not having the mag able to float a little might cause some issues.... Thanks all for the comments.

When I switched from the polymer bases to the flush, steel base, I had to use an O-ring on my mags to stop pinching... bad on my P40! I tried an 1/8" one and it was too fat, but the 3/32" one worked fine.

I don't know what would fit with your finger extensions, though. You don't want too much pressure with an O-ring that's too fat.

Wynn :0I went with #13 O-rings and they are fine, but they make the mag too hard to tap home. I am getting rid of the finger extension. I of late pocket carry and the flat bottom mag plate is more inline with that mode of carry. Thanks everyone for the replies... all good info. Cheers
