Will the compact accept magazines meant for the full size M+P?



Just curious.

Yes. If you search I believe I have posted pics of it.

Just curious.

The 17 rd magazine sticks out of the butt of the compact about 1 inch, but it works just fine. It did not seem to adversely affect the handling characteristics, such as balance and aim, of the pistol either.

Does anyone make a polymer or rubber sleeves that could be used to cover the space when using fullsize mags with the compact pistol?

 

[johndoe1027]

not yet but I'm thinking about making a temporary fix for mine. I don't have any plastic fab skills so I'm going to use rubber. I don't mind it though, may not mess with it. I'm used to using the short mag.



Oh and the full size mags hold 18. Before you call me an idiot, go try it (I had to eat crow twice over this already). You'll have to set the mag on something to be able to get it in there but it works. I've only ran 2 mags through mine like that but it seems to be fine.

I have both a 40 and 40c, I have shot my 40c with a full size mag. No issues, just a bit uncomfortable, but very doable.

johndoe-



Thanks for the answer. I'm gonna have to try squeezing 18 rounds in my mags. Does this do anything to the mag internals?

 

[YukonGlocker]

Don't over load your mags.

The mag springs are designed for 17 rounds, not 18.

 

[johndoe1027]

I had trouble seating the "18" round mag last night at a match. I won't be doing that anymore.

Good advice Yukon. If it sounds to good to be true then it probably is.

I've been making some holsters and other things with kydex. I'm going to make a spacer sleeve with some .90 kydex. I'll make an over lapping lip on the back side then use some superglue to keep it together. Add some RTV black silicone to the inside to keep it tight and ensure its snug. If it works then I'll post some pics.

sweet!

I made a sleeve for mine with .060 black Kydex that works great.

I'll get a picture up later.
