Description

The Glock 43 is compact and concealable, but that comes with a trade-off. With only 6 rounds in the magazine, capacity is tight, and the short grip forces a finger or two off the gun when firing. The TangoDown Vickers extension fixes both problems in one simple kit.

Designed by Larry Vickers and built by TangoDown, this kit gives you two additional rounds and extends your magazine to a full-sized grip. You go from 6+1 to 8+1, and your pinky finally has room on the frame. The extended floorplate is injection molded from the same durable polymer used in Glock magazines, so it matches the look and feel of your factory hardware.

What Comes in the Vickers Extension Kit

Each kit includes everything you need to modify one magazine. You get an extended floorplate, a floorplate retainer, and a longer heat-treated stainless steel spring that handles the extra rounds without compromise. Installation takes just a few minutes once you pop off the factory floorplate. The spring is noticeably stiffer than stock, which guarantees that full eighth round locks the slide back every time.

Build Quality and Feeding Reliability

TangoDown machines these to tight tolerances and finishes them to match factory Glock plastic. The stainless steel spring is where the real engineering shows. It's heat-treated for strength and smooth feeding, and real-world testing confirms that users get reliable feeding across different ammo weights without the last round causing issues. Because the spring and follower are engineered as a matched set, you don't run into the common problem of a tight eighth round that won't feed or creates feeding problems.

Made in the USA, these extensions are built to the same standards as the TangoDown products that see regular use in competition and professional environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

How hard is it to install the Vickers extension on my Glock 43 magazine?

Installation is straightforward. You remove the factory floorplate by depressing the retainer, swap in the new spring and extended floorplate, and reinstall the retainer. The trickiest part is getting the factory plate off without losing the spring. A small C-clamp placed on the mag tabs helps. Most people finish in less than five minutes once they get the hang of it.

Will all 8 rounds fit and feed reliably?

Yes. The included spring is engineered specifically for the +2 capacity and handles the extra tension needed to support two additional rounds. The eighth round will be snug going in, but that's normal with extended mags. Once the spring breaks in slightly from use, loading becomes easier. Real-world testing shows solid feeding across standard, hollow point, and heavier defensive ammunition.

Is the Vickers +2 the same length as a Glock 43X magazine?

No. The extension adds about half an inch to your magazine, giving you the extra grip length you need without making your G43 the size of a 43X. This is the appeal for people who want to keep their gun compact but need a bigger grip and more ammo capacity for practice or backup mags.

Do I need to buy new springs or followers for my Glock 43 magazines?

No. Everything you need comes in the kit. The spring and follower are engineered to work together with the extended floorplate. You're just replacing the factory spring with the upgraded stainless steel version and installing the new floorplate assembly on your existing magazine tube.
