If you combined GALLOWAY PRECISION'S MagGuts High Capactiy Magazine Conversion for Ruger LCP with
IMPACT Guns' RUGER LCP +1 GRIP EXTENSION could you create an 8 round magazine for the Ruger LCP.

I have both Magguts system (I'm currently using in two of my OEM mags) and Impact Gun's +1 extension. I think I tried the very combination just to see if the "7+1" idea would work. No, it did not work reliably. If my memory serves, it was because the springs of Magguts system are not long enough for the extended mag tube, even though you can put 8 rounds of ammo in it.... (I think I posted the result in an old thread somewhere...)

Thanks for sharing. SmokyT.

Last Tuesday, Eric Galloway responded to my question and said that combining these two products could not be done, because the spring rates in his product are designed to work with the standard magazine size.

So I wonder when he will design some springs where it will work. :tennis:

7+1 is better than 6+1, but wouldn't 8+1 be even better?

It's still out of stock. Looking at one to two months according to the representative on the phone.

Yes. It would.

Was told by Custom Gun Springs that it would not be economically feasible for a small number of magazines. Basically they were not interested in doing this on their end.

Bummer about the spring company. I'm sure there are others. Also plenty of info about spring making, changing shapes, and re-tempering at the library and the net. Your project may be solved by simply stretching a spring and re-tempering. Or maybe just try the MagGuts and +1 extension your self if you haven't already. The poster that said id didn't work may be wrong. He could have assembled the mag wrong or simply had the first version MagGuts follower. I wish all the parts were in front of me so I could try.
Keep us informed, your idea is great! Denny
