SHIELD BASE PLATE FOR GLK 26 +5 BLK

Description

The Shield Arms +5 Magazine Extension for the Glock 26 is a straightforward capacity upgrade for shooters who want more rounds on tap without switching to a full-size pistol. It adds five rounds to a standard Glock 26 9mm magazine, giving you a meaningfully deeper stack while keeping the grip geometry manageable.

The extension is machined from billet 6061 aluminum rather than polymer, which matters because the baseplate takes the impact every time a magazine is seated hard or drops onto a hard surface. The Type 2 anodized finish bonds into the surface of the aluminum rather than sitting on top of it, so it resists wear at the contact points that see the most abuse. Index cuts machined into the body give your fingers something to register against when stripping a magazine from a pouch under stress or with gloved hands.

The floorplate design deserves particular attention. Rather than requiring you to pull the extension off the magazine body to access the spring and follower, it opens independently. That means routine cleaning and inspection don’t require disassembly of the whole assembly, which reduces the chance of losing small components during maintenance. A higher-power spring ships with the extension to handle the increased stack height reliably. The extension is compatible with most aftermarket flared magwells and fits OEM Glock magazines. Shield Arms backs it with a lifetime warranty.
