After market magazines for 380 EZ

Are there any aftermarket magazines that have 10 round capacity for the 380 EZ? If not has anyone read or heard if there will be in the near future?

None I've heard of so far. Usually there's got to be enough demand for magazines before someone will try to engineer them and set up some machinery to make them. Not sure the .380 EZ is there yet. Or it could be some kind of a patent thing where it takes an amount of time between introduction of a new product and others being legal to copy them.

Welcome to the forum. We've got a section to introduce yourself, tell us about you handgun and what you use it for.

There are other .380 EZ owners here (got one myself) and some of them may be able to help answer questions you might have.

We sold our .380 and bought a 9mm. Galloway has a +1 extension for the stock mag. I personally don't like the design, but it's up to you. As far as aftermarket, I haven't heard of any either.

I have both the 380EZ and 9EZ, I have only used the Galloway magazine extension for the 9EZ mags. I used it on my spare magazine when I carried the 9EZ (for almost a year). I tested it every range trip I did with the 9EZ and put over 2k rounds through the 9EZ. I had no failures with that magazine, not sure I liked it but it proved reliable and was easy to install.

I did have a significant challenge trying to install the Rainier Short Stroke Trigger and was not able to do so. YMMV

I also had installed the Outer Impact Modular Red Dot Adapter plate and mounted a Red Dot on the 9EZ. That performed flawlessly as well. Basically I had the 9EZ with a Red Dot and 18 rounds, 8+1 plus 9 in the spare mag. That Outer Impact plate fits the 380EZ and 9EZ and I have it on my 380EZ now.

FWIW, I went to the M&P Shield Plus OR with a Holosun 407k, other than the optic no other mods. Carried the 380EZ for several months and the 9EZ continously for over a year, love them both.
