Description
The Ruger LCP is known for being slim and light, which is great for carry but rough on your hands during practice or in a real situation. These Pearce Grips extensions solve that problem by giving your fingers somewhere to land. They replace the factory magazine base plate with a half-inch longer extension, made from high-impact polymer that matches the firearm's finish and contour.
Installation and Fit for the Pearce PGLCP Extension
Swapping the base plates is straightforward. Each extension slides onto your factory magazine where the original base plate sits, and the whole process takes about a minute per mag. They work with Ruger LCP and LCP II magazines in .380 ACP. The extensions are designed tight enough that they stay put during carry or shooting, but not so tight that you need tools to install them. What you get back is the ability to actually get all your fingers on the gun instead of leaving your pinky dangling.
Why These Extensions Keep Magazine Capacity the Same
These aren't capacity extensions. They don't add an extra round like some alternatives do. Instead, they maintain your original magazine count while extending the grip surface downward. That matters if you care about how a loaded mag sits in a holster or pocket. The extra half-inch comes from a longer base plate, nothing more.
Materials and Durability
Pearce makes these from high-impact polymer that's tough enough to handle drops from typical carry heights and temperature swings from winter to summer. They're matte black and designed to blend with the LCP's aesthetic rather than stand out. Two extensions per pack means you can outfit both magazines if you carry two, or keep a spare on hand.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do these grip extensions add a round to my magazine?
No. These extensions maintain your original magazine capacity by replacing only the base plate. They add gripping surface length without adding ammunition capacity.
Will the PGLCP extension work on my LCP MAX or 9mm Ruger pistol?
No, these extensions are designed only for the LCP and LCP II in .380 ACP. The LCP MAX uses a different magazine design and needs its own extension. They won't fit .22 or 9mm models.
How hard is it to install these grip extensions?
Installation is simple. You remove the factory base plate from the magazine and slide the extension into its place. No tools required and it takes about a minute per magazine.
Are these extensions durable enough for regular carry and use?
Yes. Pearce Grips makes these from high-impact polymer that passes drop tests and functions reliably in extreme temperatures from -20°F to 250°F. They're designed to feel and look like factory parts.
