Issues? Again, no issues here, for years, with multiple factory +2s in multiple mags.
They're around 8-10 bucks each at the factory Glock store, with the inserts, I think.
I also now love the Magpul 21 rounders.

I meant more of the aftermarket ones.

How long have you been using the Taran +5s, and have you had to replace the mag springs in that time?
@Gio noted that they go bad quickly.

I suspect most people using 140mm extensions, like the Taran baseplates, are using them in USPSA, where having 22 rounds in the mag is a competition issue.
The advantage of a Taran baseplate is that it can be affixed to an OEM magazine, which are the most reliable magazines for a Glock.
Unlike regular OEM 17 round magazines, which seem to last nearly forever, especially in 9mm, the longer springs used in 140mm magazines have a finite life, that is a function of load/unload cycles. I have heard different numbers like 150 cycles, but never seen hard data showing testing of that. I do know that the springs in all my wife’s Glock OEM magazines with Taran extensions went soft and started having feeding issues around the same time last spring, causing us to:
1) buy a bunch of replacement springs
2) change all the extended springs out
3) get her to primarily use 17 round magazines for practice and save the 140mm mags for matches
The Taran extension on Glock OEM mags comfortably hold 22 rounds, and when 23 rounds go in, it seems like they are getting ready to stop working properly.
Likes pretty much everything in every caliber.
I carry a 19x magazine as a spare whether I carry a g26 or g19 . Arent more bullets better? Just verify that the gun(s) are reliable with said magazine.
Would it be acceptable to use them for duty if you replaced the springs regularly? And if so, how often would be appropriate?

I don't own a G17 but have many magazines for it. Like others have stated, pinch your finger real hard a few times and I prefer a extended magazine for reload. I think glock has 21 or 22 round oem mags now too, I'd probably get a few of those if they work.
