Kriss MAG-EX2: Enhance Glock Magazines for Tactical Variety

Every serious operator and enthusiast knows that small upgrades can yield meaningful performance gains. Whether you shoot competitively, train for real-world scenarios, or simply want a more capable kit for range days, enhancing magazine ergonomics and capacity without compromising reliability is a high-value upgrade. The right baseplate and spring can change how a pistol or pistol-caliber carbine feels, feeds, and handles under stress.

KRISS USA MAG-EX2 is the capacity-extending base plate kit designed specifically to work with factory standard Glock magazines. Priced at $53.09, this kit is built from reinforced composite materials and includes the extended baseplate outer sleeve plus an extended spring to increase capacity and improve handling for KRISS Vector platforms that accept Glock 20 magazines.

Design and materials: engineered for durability and light weight

The MAG-EX2 uses a reinforced composite outer sleeve and a matched extended spring. Those reinforced composites keep weight low while resisting wear from repeated magazine changes and environmental exposure. Because the kit is designed to pair with the factory Glock magazine body and follower, it retains the proven feeding geometry Glock is known for while adding a user-friendly extension. This balance of factory internals and upgraded external components preserves reliability—a priority for any tactical application.

Key features highlighted

– Extended baseplate outer sleeve constructed of durable, lightweight reinforced composites.
– Matched extended spring included for consistent feed and reliable follower tension.
– Direct fit when combined with factory standard Glock magazine body and follower.
– Specifically intended for use with KRISS Vector platforms using Glock 20 magazines and Glock 20-compatible pistol-caliber carbines.
– Affordable upgrade at $53.09 that focuses on function over flashy aesthetics.

Installation and field serviceability

Installing the MAG-EX2 is straightforward for anyone familiar with basic magazine disassembly. Remove the factory baseplate and spring, slide the outer sleeve over the factory magazine body, and install the extended spring and follower as directed. The kit is intentionally simple so you can swap springs or baseplates with minimal tools in a workbench or range environment.

Routine maintenance is equally simple: periodic cleaning of the magazine body and light lubrication at contact points will preserve the life of both the original Glock parts and the MAG-EX2 components. Operators should always verify function with dummy rounds and live-fire testing before relying on any magazine modification in a critical scenario.

Performance benefits in practical use

On the range, the advantages are immediately noticeable. The extra capacity afforded by the MAG-EX2 reduces reload frequency in extended drills and provides more rounds on target during scenarios where follow-up shots count. Because the kit keeps the factory feeding surfaces and follower, failures to feed are rare when the magazines are properly maintained and loaded to reasonable capacities.

For users of the KRISS Vector equipped to accept Glock 20 magazines, the MAG-EX2 blends aesthetics with functionality—maintaining a clean magazine profile while offering enhanced capacity and a more substantial gripping surface at the base for positive index during reloads. The matched extended spring ensures consistent tension across the follower travel, which is critical for smooth feeding into a Vector or compatible pistol-caliber carbine.

Compatibility and recommended use cases

This kit is intended specifically for use with factory standard Glock magazine bodies and followers, and it’s particularly notable for owners of the KRISS Vector platforms that take Glock 20 magazines. Because KRISS designed the Vector to use those mags, the MAG-EX2 is a natural fit for shooters who want more rounds without sourcing aftermarket magazine bodies.

Recommended applications include: range training sessions, competition stages where states or matches allow capacity extensions, and home defense setups where additional reload grace can be beneficial. Always verify local laws and match rules before using extended-capacity components in competition or public carry contexts. View product details

Why Kriss brand and Glock compatibility matter

Kriss is known for innovative small-arms platforms and builds with integration in mind. The MAG-EX2 leverages Glock’s ubiquity: instead of reinventing the magazine body, it augments it. That means you keep the trusted geometry and replace only the parts that enhance capacity and handling. For a tactical-minded operator, that approach minimizes unknown variables while maximizing practical gains.

Training, legality, and safe storage

Extended-capacity accessories demand responsible ownership. Train with the MAG-EX2 to understand how the extra rounds and altered magazine length affect reload times and drawing from pouches or pockets. Ensure magazines seated in pistols or carbines clear holsters or mag wells without obstruction. Store all firearms and magazines securely and comply with local regulations concerning magazine capacity.

Final field verdict

The KRISS USA MAG-EX2 is a practical, cost-effective upgrade for shooters who use Glock 20 magazines in KRISS Vector or Glock 20-compatible pistol-caliber carbines. At $53.09, it provides reinforced composite durability, an extended spring matched for reliable feeding, and preserves the factory Glock magazine body and follower to maintain proven feeding geometry. For operators who want a discreet, reliable capacity extension without heavy modification, this kit delivers.
