Shield Arms +5/+4 Magazine Extension for Glock 26/27 Black G26-ME-5-BLK UPC 853465008094
Product Description
The Shield Arms +5/+4 Magazine Extension (G26-ME-5-BLK) is a high-capacity billet aluminum extension designed to maximize firepower and grip ergonomics on sub-compact Glock handguns. Purpose-built for the Glock 26 (9mm) and Glock 27 (.40 S&W), this extension increases magazine capacity by adding +5 rounds of 9mm to G26 magazines or +4 rounds of .40 S&W to G27 magazines.
Precision CNC-machined in the USA from certified 6061-T6 billet aluminum, the G26-ME-5-BLK features an easy-access index grove and a unique sliding index plate system that allows quick disassembly and maintenance without requiring special punch tools. The ergonomic contoured front face extends the sub-compact grip frame, providing a full three-finger firing grip for improved recoil management, faster follow-up shots, and cleaner magazine indexing during rapid reloads.
Finished in a resilient Type III hardcoat anodized matte black coating, this extension resists holster wear, drop impacts, and environmental corrosion. Every extension comes complete with a custom 100% American-made high-tensile power spring to ensure consistent upward pressure and reliable last-round slide lockup across thousands of cycles.
Armorer Bench Notes & Real-World Staging Guidance:
Fitment Matrix: Fits standard factory OEM Glock 26 (9mm) and Glock 27 (.40 S&W) double-stack magazines (Gen 3, Gen 4, and Gen 5). Adds +5 capacity in 9mm or +4 capacity in .40 S&W. Includes extra-power spring.
- Perform a complete firearm safety check: drop the magazine, lock the slide rearward, and visually inspect the chamber to verify zero live rounds are present.
- Using a magazine disassembly tool or punch, compress the floorplate insert tab and slide the factory baseplate off your double-stack G26/G27 magazine body.
- Remove the factory spring and inner floorplate insert (do not reuse the factory spring with this extension).
- Insert the included Shield Arms extra-power spring and retention plate into the magazine body.
- Slide the Shield Arms aluminum extension onto the magazine rails, aligning the rear set screw or retention plate locking pin until securely engaged.
- Load magazine to capacity to verify proper spring tension and perform a manual cycling test to confirm feeding and slide lock operation.
