Mag extensions
« on: August 16, 2009, 11:52:59 PM »
  Got the Straight still looking for a Hooked mag extension ;D
I had this posted in the wish list section and got no replys, so I'll try it here. Seems there is a lot of intrest and very little action. If someone who has a mag extension (hooked) and wants to lend it to me I have a guy who could probably make some extensions, but wants to see one. If you have one to lend let me know by PM or E-mail. If you want a cash deposit to keep till it's returned I will be glad to do that.

I hope so too, there seems to be many members intrested in mag extensions, as am I. But finding one for the guy to look at seems to be the hardest part. :o

John,

I have a new black straight extension I can loan to you. PM me with your mailing address.  If your manufacturer decides to make these, I hope he can come up with a more durable finish.  I have a couple of these mounted, and the finish on the lower leading edge begins to wear easily from everyday carry.

 Received the mag extension from horseman today and will get it to the machinist the first of the week and see what he says. Hopefully it will be good news.

If they turn out bad no one will ever see them but me ;D
   But I don't expect that will be the case, I have seen his work and it is outstanding. I will post info as soon as I have some. I could still use a one of the hooked extensions if someone wants to make a loan of one.

I'd like two of each--the straight and hooked--thanks for doing this for us!

Good luck with this venture. As we discussed via PM, I would gladly give you my mag extensions if I still had them.

The two mag extensions I received were well made but were disproportionate to the R9, looked awful and did not enhance performance of the gun. I hope this is not your experience if you get the mag extensions machined.

 One thing for sure: you are looking for the definitive rig. You have your Robar R9, Rafter S holster is in the pipeline..... When do you quit? Or, what's next?

I'm in for 2 mag extensions.  I have one of the silver straight ones that I feel is an integral part of the R9.  Hope this works out.
