The extended ejector flips the case out
sooner than the standard one so the convex follower works on the premise of
better support for the last round both during loading and extraction.
A convex follower would behave like a round still in the magazine so earlier ejection would minimize any support from below.
Correct on the ejection part. It keeps the round from striking the ejector at a different angle than when it has a round under it for support. Not needed with proper extractor prep and function.,

Feeding, it makes no difference. Since an extended ejector is hit by the case before the slide uncovers the magazine, the pistol loses the function of the last round popping up and giving the case a little booster toward the port.

GI magazines.
The only allowance to that is extra power springs,I like them.Thank you
Wolff's 11-pound/7-round springs are standard equipment around here. Both CMI and Metalform will install them on new magazines for a nominal extra cost. At last check, around a buck-fifty...which is cheaper than I can order'em from Brownells, even with my gunsmith's discount.
