Austin's Review of HYVE Technologies Glock 43 Magazine Extension Base Pad

Initial thoughts were it looks great. Little splash of color and two extra rounds, just what the doctor ordered. Start installing the baseplate and it is a booger to install you have to modify your magazine and red flags started going up. What if it doesn't work or I don't like it am I going to have to buy another mag? I kept going like a fool. Once installed the mag would hold 7 just fine the 8th round, would go in but the spring would get stuck and once the 8th round wad chambered the mag was useless because it would not push the remaining 7 rounds upwards. The baseplate was not perfectly sized for the 43 and I could move it forward and back with little effort once "locked in". Uninstalling was no cake walk either the tab that locks the mag in place doesn't move so you have to force it off and I am by no means a body builder but I am a 200 lbs mechanic and it took everything I had to force it over the lock. I put the factory base plate back on and it holds only because of the lock in the base. The locking tabs of the mag were required to be removed via instructions. But it works. Still got another mag and installed a vickers +2 base plate. Give that one 4 stars and highly recommend. Took a star off because it doesn't look as good but it is easy to install and locks in nice works flawlessly and gives better grip contact. Long story short I don't know if I got a dud or they are just not very good but this product made a very reliable gun worthless after one shot. Don't waste your money on it spend 12 bucks and buy a vickers or another easily removed extended base plate.
