The Taylor Freelance +5 magazine for the Smith & Wesson M&P 9mm Luger/ 40 S&W pistol is constructed of solid brass with a natural brass finish. This magazine extension will increase the capacity of your factory magazine by 6 rounds in 9mm and 5 rounds in 40 S&W. The length of the magazine with the extension will not exceed the IPSC 140mm length rule when used on full size M&P magazines. The extension works with the stock magazine follower and includes an ISMI extra power spring for reliable operation. The added weight of the brass helps to reduce recoil by adding non-reciprocating mass to the pistol and helps empty magazines drop free.
