I'd hope that the price would be better than IDM charged.  A guy on the Seecamp forum just produce extended Seecamp mag extensions for 38.00 and IDM was charging $48.  With a volume purchase there should be a good discount.

Seems IDM was charging $10 more than this guy can make them for, so $10 less than IDM's $58 R9 extension comes out to be $48.  That sounds good to me.

Thoughts?

 IDM was making the the extensions and selling them why they charged what they did I cant say. But I had to pay someone to do the design work and have to pay to have them made, then ship them to be anodized and pay for that and the anodize.
 I'm doing the best I can, I called 15 to 20 places to get the best price on the anodize.

I just checked the the site for the Seecamp extensions and the $38 was a Pre Order Price, they are now $44

This is from the site for the Seecamp extensions.

This is a Pre-Order and they will be ready in 1week or less. **Pre-order over soon. I am shipping a few at this time.
The price will go up after the pre-order is over.
Other Items in SEECAMP *ORDER
 Seecamp Mag Extension  $44.00**

To update the R9 extension saga, I went to the shop today and they are writing the program for the CNC machine to make the extensions and hope to have one by the end of this week or first of next week.
  I will update this when there is news.

John--I'm sure whatever you'll be charging will be a fair price to cover your costs and your time and efforts to do this for all of us. These is no doubt that you won't be selling enough of them to retire on--even if you sell a hundred and make a few bucks on each, that's not a lot of money to compensate you for all your efforts to do everything you've had to do to get these made. And no one else has been willing or able to make these since IDM stopped their production.
To get a product that matches the quality of our Rohrbaughs is worth whatever it takes--$5 bucks either way won't deter most folks from ordering them from you when we've spent $1200 on our pistols.  
Let us know when you're ready to accept deposits or payments.
Thanks!!!!!

I expect to make a profit in my business and for my time, you should do the same and I'll be happy to buy.  I'm sure this is what you are doing but please lean toward quality, price is second place to quality.

I spoke with the shop today, and they hope to have one for me to look at next week. Unfortunately this is not a very large job and has to be worked on when they can. Once we have the first one done the rest won't take long.

John,

I'm sure you are planning to really test the mag extension to ensure all works perfectly?

Perhaps using it to run a mag or two through your pup and ensuring that you can't pull the extension off the mag.

This would be desirable information for perspective buyers.


I'm currently using some Pearce extensions that I've modified.  I'm very interested in getting some of yours as I know that will look way sweeter than the pearce ones.

Thanks for all your great work on this project, we all owe you!

John,
Thanks for all the effort you have put into this project.  Please put me down for two (2) of the hooked version.

Thanks again,

dukmtn, welcome to the group.
  I had hoped to have one made by now, I spoke with them about a week and a half ago and was told they had a large job come in that bumped the extensions,  :(  but they were working on the CNC program for the extensions.
  I plan to call this comming week for an update, I didn't bother last week with the holiday making it a short work week.

Not to be a pest on this but is there an update?  I'm ready to help kick-start our economy (should not take much more effort with the spending my wife is engaging in..) by buying 2 of these (hooked, of course).

By the way, can someone who is favoring a straight extension explain why that could be better than a hooked extension?
