Has anyone else experienced this?  I picked up a couple of +5 mag extensions for two 12 round P10S magazines and they only allowed me to get thirteen rounds in them.  What gives?

May need to make sure the mag spring is fully seated in the extension?  Mine provides room for +5 rnds.  Using an Uplula loader to help compress the spring may be needed for the first few times if the springs are stiff.

Yes, ai too used an pulula loader to load mine.  I will take it apart again and check that the spring is all the way into the mag extension.  Thanks!

Sounds like the follower binding/not going into the extension.  Make sure extension is properly aligned with mag body.
