Base pads for Glock

Base pads for Glock replace the factory floorplate to add a grippy bumper for faster, surer reloads and—on many magazines—extra capacity (model-dependent). They’re also essential for magwell builds.

Why upgrade

• Speed & consistency: a wider, textured pad helps mags lock in under stress.
• Added capacity: extensions provide extra rounds where allowed—see product notes for exact gains.
• Magwell fit: pads labeled magwell-compatible add the height/geometry to seat against the funnel.
• Durability: aluminum/brass pads shrug off drops better than thin OEM plates.

Pick your type

• +0 (bumper) pads: no capacity change; ideal for EDC or rule-limited divisions.
• Extensions: add capacity; some require a spring/follower kit for reliable feeding.

Glock compatibility—quick checks

• Generation: choose Gen3/Gen4/Gen5 correctly—pin/backstrap systems differ.
• Frame size: match Full-Size vs. Compact vs. Longslide (e.g., G17/G34 vs. G19).
• Magwells: many Gen4/Gen5 magwells are backstrap-specific; use magwell-compatible pads for positive seating on a closed slide.
• Magazine brand: OEM vs. aftermarket bodies can change pad fit—check product notes.

Install basics

1. Unload; control the spring while removing the OEM floorplate (eye protection recommended).
2. Fit the new pad (and spring/follower if supplied), ensuring the lock engages.
3. With the slide locked back, insert a loaded magazine to confirm positive seating—especially with a magwell—and verify drop-free.
