Frequently Asked Questions

Which Glock models is this extension compatible with?

The Shield Arms +5/4 extension is designed specifically for Glock 17, 22, 34, 35, 19X, and 45 pistols. It works with factory OEM magazines and most aftermarket Glock-pattern magazines for these models.

How many rounds does this extension add?

The extension adds 5 additional rounds for 9mm magazines and 4 additional rounds for .40 S&W and .357 SIG magazines. This brings standard Glock 17 capacity from 17 to 22 rounds, and Glock 22 capacity from 15 to 19 rounds.

Does installation require any permanent modifications?

No permanent modifications are required. The Shield Arms extension uses a drop-in design that can be easily installed and removed without altering your firearm or magazines. All necessary hardware and allen wrenches are included.

Will this extension affect magazine reliability?

No. The Shield Arms extension is precision-engineered to maintain factory Glock magazine reliability and feeding. The design has been extensively tested and is trusted by law enforcement and competitive shooters who demand consistent performance.

What material is the extension made from?

The extension is CNC-machined from aircraft-grade aluminum and features a Type III hard anodized finish for superior corrosion resistance and durability. This construction provides an optimal balance of strength and lightweight performance.

Will this work with aftermarket Glock magazines?

Yes, the Shield Arms extension is compatible with most aftermarket Glock-pattern magazines designed for models 17, 22, 34, 35, 19X, and 45. However, we recommend testing with your specific magazines to ensure proper fit and function.

Does the extension affect concealed carry?

The extension adds length to the magazine, which may extend below the grip of your pistol depending on your carry configuration. While this increases capacity, it may affect concealability. The extension is ideal for competition, duty use, range training, and home defense applications.

Is the extension legal in my state?

Magazine capacity restrictions vary by state and locality. While the Shield Arms extension increases capacity beyond 10 rounds in most configurations, legality depends on your jurisdiction. Please check your local and state laws before purchasing. Shield Arms cannot ship to restricted locations.

The aluminum construction keeps the extension lightweight to maintain proper firearm balance. While adding minimal weight compared to the ammunition capacity gained, the extension preserves the handling characteristics you expect from your Glock pistol.

ODA Green

Used on: magazine extensions, magwells

ODA's (Operational Detachment Alpha) are the boots on the ground operational teams of a Special Forces Group. This color began as a special run for a deployed ODA. In continued support we have decided to continue the color as a standard offering and donate a portion of the proceeds to The Green Beret Foundation. Finish is anodized in green.

QPQ Nitrocarburizing Surface Treatment

Used on: magazines, barrels, slides

QPQ Nitrocarburizing is a type of surface treatment used to enhance the durability and corrosion resistance of metal parts. The process involves heating the metal in a controlled environment, where nitrogen and carbon are introduced to the surface of the metal. This forms a thin layer of a hard compound called "nitrides," which increase the surface hardness of the metal.

During the QPQ Nitrocarburizing process, the metal is immersed in a special salt bath and heated to high temperatures. The salt bath contains a mixture of chemicals that release nitrogen and carbon, which penetrate the surface of the metal. The process is carefully controlled to ensure that the nitrogen and carbon penetrate to a specific depth, creating a uniform layer of nitrides on the metal's surface.

The resulting nitride layer provides many benefits to the metal parts, including increased hardness, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance. This treatment helps to increase the lifespan and durability of metal parts, making them more reliable and long-lasting.

Any “scuffing” you see in the surface finish is completely normal, and will not affect the durability or corrosion resistance of the steel.

Electroless Nickel Plating

Used on: magazines

Silver electroless plating offers superior electrical conductivity and corrosion protection with excellent deposit uniformity and adhesion properties. This bright, reflective finish provides outstanding solderability and contact resistance while maintaining the consistent thickness and coverage that electroless plating processes are known for. Black electroless nickel plating provides these same exceptional deposit properties - including lubricity, hardness, and corrosion resistance - but with a fully conductive and uniform black surface finish that combines superior performance with an attractive dark appearance.

This item is controlled for export by the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR). Please check your state and local laws regarding magazine capacity restrictions.

Freedom Restricted States

If you live in a state that restricts magazine capacity we cannot ship to you unless you are law enforcement or otherwise exempt. If you are exempt from your state's ban please send us a copy of your documentation or official email to [email protected]. Please include your order number.

If you purchase from a ban state and you are NOT exempt, we will cancel your order and charge you a 5% cancellation fee.
