Technically, the grip extension isn't required - although it is more comfortable to a larger hand, and physically /looks/ better with the extension on.
So, anything that's minimum G19 (medium frame) size compatible or greater works.
The G19 size fits tight to the grip - without the extension - perfectly, as it's the same size frame. A G17/18 23-rnd size mag is what comes stock with it, so those work perfectly.
To make the most of full auto, indulge in the 49-rnd extended mag... remarkably, doesn't throw the balance of the pistol off whatsoever.

What won't fit in there is the G26-size mags, as they're too short, built for the concealed-carry sized frame (the above reply which came in as I was typing this sheds some doubt on this conclusion...). Not to be confused with the G26C, which in stock form uses a grip extension in order to use - you guessed it - a G19 size 20-rnd mag.

I hope that made sense, and that I covered the main variables.
