Title: Straight or Hooked Extension?
Post by: smokemup on October 13, 2012, 05:16:41 PM: What are your experiences or preferences with the straight vs the hooked magazine extensions? I was thinking the hooked would better assist in taming the muzzle flip, but so many seem to prefer the straight, so wazzupwithdat?

Lastly, it appears as if the magazine extensions would be lighter if the base was hollowed out, such as those plastic extensions from Pearce. Thoughts?

run of extensions and the hooked were a three to one favorite.

They had some "slop" (didn't fit tight; may have been part of my feeding problem because they didn't fit well) in the grip and they had a tendency of wanting to slide off the mag base. I went with the hooked one (tight, perfect) from Yankee and haven't looked back :) When it comes to comparing weights, it doesn't matter to me. It is more important to me that the extension stays put on the mag.
