Pearce Plus-one Ext For Glock 42

The Pearce Plus-One Extension for Glock 42 is a magazine floor plate replacement that adds one additional round of capacity while simultaneously increasing grip surface area. This compact accessory replaces the factory floor plate, providing approximately three-quarters of an inch in additional gripping surface for improved control and comfort during shooting. The extension is machined from high-impact polymer and retains the factory texture pattern, ensuring a seamless visual and tactile match with the original magazine.

The increased grip real estate addresses one of the primary handling considerations for compact .380 ACP pistols: finger placement and recoil management. The Glock 42's diminutive profile, while excellent for deep concealment, can leave shooters with limited purchase on the magazine, particularly those with larger hands. By extending the floor plate, this accessory distributes recoil forces across a wider grip surface, reducing muzzle rise and accelerating target reacquisition. The high-impact polymer construction provides durability equivalent to OEM specifications while maintaining the same weight penalty as factory components.

This extension appeals to law enforcement officers, off-duty carry specialists, and civilian operators who prioritize capacity gains in pocket-sized defensive platforms. The single-round increase—from six to seven rounds—translates to a 17% capacity boost without sacrificing the Glock 42's compact dimensions or holster compatibility. Installation requires only removal of the original floor plate; no gunsmithing or permanent modification is necessary, making it a reversible upgrade.

For shooters evaluating magazine accessories for the Glock 42, the Pearce Plus-One Extension represents the standard solution in this category. Similar extensions exist for other compact pistols, but this version is engineered specifically for the Glock 42's magazine geometry and spring characteristics, ensuring reliable feeding and seating with factory ammunition across all major .380 ACP loadings.
