Description
Getting a few extra rounds on your Springfield Echelon is straightforward with this Shield Arms extension. It bolts onto your factory 17-round magazine to bring capacity up to 22 rounds total. The whole thing is machined from billet 6061 aluminum and finished with a hard type-2 anodize that handles hard use without issue.
Easy Maintenance with the Floor Plate Design
One detail that sets this extension apart is the easy-access floor plate. You can pop out the spring and follower to clean or service your magazine without having to take the extension off the mag body. This saves time and hassle when you're getting rounds loaded or doing routine maintenance at the range.
Built for Grip and Competition Use
The extension features machined index cuts along its body to give you better purchase when drawing from a mag pouch. If you run competitions, this extension is USPSA compliant at the 141.25mm length, so you're good to go in sanctioned matches. No new spring is needed either, your existing mag spring handles the extra rounds just fine. It's made in the USA and comes with a lifetime warranty backing the build quality.
