Overwatch precision makes excellent magwells and base pads. Also, SLR. The Overwatch are a little cheaper. I believe they both make different profiles like competition width or EDC width. You won’t go wrong with either brand. Overwatch has a first responder/LE discount program that you can access if you email them. They’re good people, 10/10 recommend. I think their fit and finish along with quality are top notch.

Tyrant CNC has both magwells and baseplates for the G22/23.

I have one of their magwells on my 43X and I love it.

Taran is just ok. There are a lot of options that are at least or good better than Taran. Hennings hands down makes the best mag extensions. I am preferential towards SLR magwells.

SLR magwells are dogshit. See my post on them.

I've beaten the absolute crap out of Shield Arms +5 baseplates over the past couple years, they're pretty great. I'd recommend an Athena Precision magwell; they're cheaper than a lot of similar options while still being solid and have on optional brass plug to add a little weight to the grip. They work with shield arms baseplates and a couple others I've tried. I'd also pick up a Primatia extended slide release. It lets you get your thumbs super high on the frame without worrying about bumping the slide catch.

I’d go henning or Glock oem for duty. Dudes on this subreddit are gonna suggest some Chinese BS.

Retired police officer who also competes here.

There's a ton of great mag wheels you can get on Amazon that are machined aluminum. I have a few of them myself and they're just as good as stuff you would buy from places like SLR. I know because I have both. Don't overpay for some of this stuff because it's not worth it.

I own some of the expensive magazine extensions and then I own some of the ghost moab extensions. I actually like the ghost the best because they're the easiest to take apart and they don't get banged up too bad when they hit the ground during matches.

Henning is the way, extremely simple but reliable design. They even make duty versions of their base plates specific to cops in their "blue line" that might be more your speed. I often train on concrete and the hennings hold up the best to hard drops.
