I got my pup from Tom last April. It is everything I expected in a quality firearm but I felt it needed a magazine extension for a better grip.
I could not find any (IDM included). So I had some made up and they fit the bill for me.
So when I came across this post and saw the activity and time its been taking (same thing happened to me) I would like to offer any help or advice I can offer.
After trying several prototypes for fit and finish I finally was able to get the right combination.
If for any reason you can't get these completed in reasonable time or cost I could contact my supplier and see if they are interested in making a batch.
Here are some pictures of my extensions.




I think the curves on this one look much better.  This might not effect grip but aesthetically these look better than the all silver ion the first post.

I meant this with respect to all involved and do not intend to harsh anyone.

Here is the extension in black (ala Sharpie). If there are any changes to be made they will need to be done now.  I need to know what everyone thinks before I put any more money into this, I don't need a hundred of these for paperweights.

Even though I am familiar with the IDM design and it may be more pleasing to the eye I think that your rendition on the left will give more positive tactile control. The thick bottom and an apparent slightly longer extension should be more stable in the hand. You shouldn't have any problem selling these and thank you for your extraordinary efforts.

As I told Yankee, I gave away my IDM mag extensions with an R9 I sold some time ago. For me, there was no appreciable advantage or accuracy gained with the mag extensions and I hated the disproportion of the mag extension (aesthetically).

This is my opinion and I make no claim as to having the right answer as opinions will vary. I do support Yankee in his quest to find out if there is a market as he (rightfully) does not want to commit to a production run without sincere interest and I wish Yankee well in this pursuit.

I have gone through the post titled Mag Extension Intrest, and talleied the replies. There were 39 members expressing intrest in 78 of the hooked and 10 of the straight extensions.
 This post has been viewed 343 times. I have no way of knowing how many of the 39 responders have viewed this post, but there has not been a lot of feedback, and I'm not sure if that is a good or bad thing.
  I think the only way I can afford to proceed, is to take orders with payments. I don't want to lay out a few thousand dollars and find out the 39 people who replied are no longer intrested.  :(
 I will start a thread for orders and go from there.

FB.  Welcome back.
Thanks, I didn't leave just sitting behind the curtain.  

I must have missed it but what is the price and paypal account, I will order and pay now as well.  If I had my preference I would like to see some groves in the arch of the extension.

John,  I think the extension that you created look very sweet.  Yes they are different than IDM's, but that is cool and is the way it should be.

Will you offer them in plain un-anodized aluminum and if so, will the price differ?

Again thanks for all your time, effort and money spent to make this happen!

How thick are your extensions side to side?  Will you offer them in plan unanodized aluminum and if so, will the price differ?

Kannuist, Thank you and everyone else for the positive comments.
The extensions are 11/16 wide
    They will be available in the black and a clear anodize which is the aluminum look. The anodize protects the aluminum from oxidation, and if you rub your hand or clothes on uncoated aluminun it will leave a black reidue.

John

Looks great John !  Thanks for all of your work putting this together.

I would also like to see a little groove / slot added where the magazine release rests. That's the only thing I'd change.

I'll be sending payment for an order shortly.

If it's not too much trouble, can you post a picture of the bottom?

Thanks again !
