PM9 Pinky Extension?

[Vigilant]

I have two P9s, and love 'em. Decided to buy a PM9 for those lighter occasions, thinking I could get two fingers comfortably around the grip. Wrong. I have very large hands. I tried the factory base plate off a P9 mag, but found that I had to slam the mag home to get it to seat. Does anyone know of a good, reliable option for some semblence of a pinky extension? Seems like I have seen pics of one that looks like a Pearce variant.

Thanks in advance.

You can take that "flush mount" polymer base and a piece of sandpaper and slowly remove plastic... slowly with checks for fit... until there's enough space for the magazine to reliably seat for proper retention. That's the trick. I converted all of my P-series pistols to flush-mounted metal bases for maximum concealment. I don't mind a two-finger grip... even on my PM45. I DID have to add a 3/32" O-ring to stop the P40's mag from pinching my pinkie!

Different strokes for different folks....

Thanks, Wynn. I just ran across this as well:

I'm more concerned with maximum concealability, so I don't like any extensions and am comfortable with two-finger grips... even on my PM45 with it's "flush-fitting" polymer base plate... for which I keep trying to find a metal... real flush-fitting base. Different strokes....

I'm in your same situation with the large hand issue. I used the pierce extension for a while then I took it off. You can get used to the smaller grip with a little time, but it will never be like your P9.

Thanks for all the replies. Any advice on sources for a good IWB mag holder?

My suggestion would be to try some Talon grips which will help you get a good grip on the gun. My thoughts are that if you extend the mag, might as well carry the P9.

I had a problem with the 3/32 o-ring that kept the magizine from seating completely. I added a prearce extention to my CM9 and now have a place for my pinky. There were two to a pack and were around $11 from Crimson Trace.
