Maybe, but it doesn't come out to the same as using a larger mag in the subcompacts. With a Glock 19, you can use a 15rd mag or a 17 rd mag and never notice the play because you have a full grip on the PISTOL, never touching or pushing the mag with your fingers or hand.
With the subcompacts, when you put a 15rd or 17rd mag in it, due to the shorter grip of the pistol, you end up pulling on the front of the magazine unwittingly. This causes the magazine to dive forward a bit.
I've only had a couple of malfunctions with 33rd mags, and even then once or twice, rarely. But each time I noticed the bullet dived down and failed to feed. I couldn't help but wonder if it was the play, and my grip on the extended mag pushing the nose down.
