MagGuts 6 to 7 rnds. kit for the Ruger LCP and Kel-tec P3AT

[gb6491]

Thought some folks here might be interested in a product I recently purchased. It's one of MagGuts.com's 7 round magazine conversions for the Ruger LCP (they also make one for Kel-Tec's P3AT). I give it a "thumbs up" so far: quality is good and the installation is not challenging. I've run quite a few rounds through my LCP using just the modified capacity mag and have not had a single glitch with it. I'm satisfied with it's function to the point that the modified mag will be the primary carry one for my LCP. Now that I know first hand that it works, I'll probably get another for my spare mag.

FWIW: I did correspond with them about another pistol that I own and they responded that after they had kits together for most of the popular .380s they would be moving into 9mm.

Looking at their website it's an interesting concept. Is the effort to load the +1 round significantly different than the factory configuration?

I'd say maybe a touch heavier, but it's close and not troublesome at all.
Here's a video I shot today that shows me loading the mag and then firing the LCP to demonstrate function. I'm using my off hand to shoot and pretty much rolling with the recoil, but the pistol and magazine cycle without incident :

Huh, that's interesting especially with the dual spring design. I wonder about long term reliability/spring life. I'd be a little nervous about pushing the design to its limit.
