Just looking at options to add +2 to the 8 rounder.
Thank you.

I’ve had good luck with the Hyve. So has William Aprill (who gave me the suggestion to get them).

I bought the unit already assembled from HYVE.

Thx Sherm, nice to hear you/William are sometimes rocking a Shield, helps to counter all the wheel gun chirping I get from my old training partner (cat named Pipes) BUT no one said my BUG isn't a 442/642
I like the Hyve. I bought 2 pre-assembled for my 9mm Shield (gen 1).
However they gave me problems while dropping the slide on a full mag of HST 147 grain. if I used the slide release lever to drop the slide, the tip of the bullet would hang up on the feed ramp, inducing a stoppage. If I used the "power stroke" method of releasing the slide, there were no problems. I could recreate this situation with both Hyve mags, repeatedly. Because of this, I relegated them to range use only.
A spring swap may have helped, but I sold the Shield for other reasons.
This has been my experience as well with the Hyve extensions and the 147 grain HSTs, though for me it would sometimes happen after the first or second round was fired. I replaced the springs with Wolff +5% power springs and haven't had an issue since, but I haven't run a ton of HSTs through them other than a hundred rounds or so for function testing after the spring swap.
