Default Grip Extension

Does anyone have experience with the Pearce finger grip extension for the Glock 19 or 23? The gun seems perfect in almost every way, but the grip is just 1/2" too short, so that my pinky hangs halfway off.

I hesitate to modify any defensive weapon. Has this extension led to any malfunctions? Is the magazine as secure as it is without it?

Yep they are fine. I have Scherer extensions on two mags for my g23 and I get a better grip on the weapon.

A buddy of mine has had them on his G26 for a while. I tried his, and thought it was just what I was looking for on my XD sub-compact too. Never had a problem, installation takes a moment or so.
