    Just ordered a K22 Standard plus Whisper, with 2x20 round mag adapters. Hopefully be here in 6-8 weeks.

    Nice. Willl probably be less ammo fussy than the X Trim as your slide will be lighter than mine.

    Caledonian Arms did mention that they couldn't guarantee last round hold open with the 20 round mag's as the spring might need stretching, how's yours?

    Mine are ok to be honest, they hold back the slide reliably and I've no problems with them.

    Saw in your post that you ordered 2 x 20 round mag adaptors, is that the kit that you fit yourself as I thought only the 13 round mags could be upgraded. I could well be (and I hope I am) wrong. I've 3 x 10 round mags I'd very much like to sort out.

    I'll double check that mate.

    FWIW...

    I have 3, 19/20 round mags and only one still holds open, seems like after a lot of use the springs do weaken, the mag that still behaves definitely seems to have a happier spring (For the time being) But like Scott says they cant guarantee they will always hold open! That said I very rarely run the gun dry so it really isn't an issue!

    I`m just happy I can stuff in more ammo!! I only got 11 in my Buckmark and 15 in my IJ 1911!!


    Looking at the 10 rounder's (I`ve got 2), I don't think they can be converted

    This is exactly what I was afraid of

    I bought my extended ones as already assembled, so had no idea about possible spring issues though touch wood, mine alright so far.

    Anyone know why the 13 round mags are no longer available?
