Increased capacity for extra magazine

Did a search for larger capacity magazine and only saw the topic centered around a finger base plate.

I would like the second standard mag to come with +1 like kahr. Nothing fancy necessary just the spare mag that holds one more round.

I personally think the mag you carry in the fire arm has to be no longer than it is now. The only down side for me is the hight of the current 'shorty'. However I carry an extra mag and when I do that small difference in size makes no difference to me.

disclamer: I currently carry a compact .40 12+1 with an extra 12 round double stack mag. So it would take a lot for the extra mag to impact me personally.

I'm not sure with your mechanism if the mag hanging out and being manipulated, moved around, would interfere with the reliability. If that's the case than disregard.

For me the perfect combination would be the 'micro', assuming this holds 1 less round, with the extra mag holding 8, 7 if the extra length and movement of the mag would cause malfunctions.

I apologize if this has already been extensively discussed. However other than wanting a Boberg in .40 S&W this is the only other thing on the top of my list.

We would get +2.4 rounds for a gun height of 5.1" (same length as the slide). Too keep things similar in height to some of the other guys (PF9, LC9, PPK, etc). +1 would make the gun 4.58" high.

The length of mag not height of gun with said mag. So I know what sized spare I would be concealing. Slide length seems a reasonable length to tuck away discretely.
