Prodigy 1911 DS - 17 - 20 - 26rd mags

[Bragah]

So I just received the 26rd mag that I ordered last week and figured I'd post some pictures for anyone that may be wanting to see size comparisons and size when it's in the Prodigy. 5" version pictured.

Looks like it's going to be an awesome and expensive time at the range...

Personally I don’t care for the look.
I prefer flush.

Definitely not disagreeing.

Flush look does indeed look cleaner. Debated between the 26 and another 20 but curiosity bit me too hard.

My Sig M17 with the 21 round mags looks the same as this 26 round mag in the Prodigy.

To each his own.

Reminds me of the
“Punk gangsta look”

Now if the mag base sleeve met up with the butt of the grip? Maybe.

I just see overinsertion issues with that 26rd.

Needs a sleeve.

Yeah, but you’re an OG so it’s ok.

I don't need flush, but that 26 round mag is too much. Fine for the range I suppose. I prefer 8 rd. mags on my 1911s and my Shield .45 is much better with the extended mag. I bought about 10 of them and sold or gave away all the flush mags. Well, I still have one flush 6 rd. mag for the Shield, but that's because I don't know anyone who wants or needs it.

No difference in the length, but a few years ago some guy on a Walther forum wanted to trade his brand new 17 rd. PPQ mags for 15 rd. mags even up. I jumped on it. I had one more 15 round mag than he had 17 so I still have a 15 round mag that has never even been loaded.

Extended pistol mags are best for the range or backpacking.

I've always thought of extended mags as your backup or range mags. Kind of hard to conceal carry when the mag is sticking out an extra couple of inches.

Here's the media's take on extended mags.

This one may print a little while carrying IWB.

The problem with extended mags like the 26rd pictured is that, under stress, they can be slammed into the mag well hard enough to do damage; there’s nothing to stop it from going too far (the 20rd’s baseplate works in that role).

It needs something like the stop a Wilson Combat 10rd .45 mag uses to prevent over insertion.

Good point.

Honestly, I would only ever use the 26rd at the range.

Will probably end up picking up another 20rd at some point down the road as I like the base plate on it that sits flush.

I only load five rounds at a time just to make myself slow down!

That’s only because you’re used to things that are loud but slow, kind of like………..

Wait for it………..

A Porsche!!!!

Hey you opened the door on that one.

 

[SimonRL]

You do know that Porsche is not American muscle right? My car can take a curve at speed, not just in a straight line. And it purrs like a kitten while it’s doing it. Just like me.
