So theres now been several years of extended basepads for Glocks.
Taran, Dawson, Hyve, Springer, etc.
My questions is, are they good to go for serious use? Or simply for range use? And if so, which base pad is best?
Right now I've heard conflicting reports:
On one side, lots of guys, including a number of serious volume competitive shooters, are running extended basepads and praising them.
On the other, I have hear 2 main complaints:
1: Basepads breaking open when dropped onto a hard surface:

2: Aftermarket springs wearing out after 6-12 months, preventing the gun from locking back:

In regards to #2, I wonder if trimming a Glock OEM 33rd mag spring to 12 coils would solve that issue for the +5/6 basepads. Or alternatively, just stick with the smaller +3/4 basepads and use the Glock factory 11 coil spring used in the factory 19rd g19x mags.
Anyway, is there a consensus on these extended basepads?
