Base pads for HS

(2 products)

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

Why upgrade

  • Speed & consistency: a larger, textured pad helps magazines 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 floorplates.

Pick your type

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

HS compatibility—quick checks

  • HS Produkt (HS9) & XD-pattern: match pad to your exact frame size and magazine body.
  • Magwell builds: race/competition funnels typically need taller, magwell-compatible pads—verify seating on a closed slide.
  • Compact/Subcompact mags: shorter bodies often need model-specific pads and, for larger extensions, dedicated springs.

Materials

Aluminum

Pros: light, tough, many anodized finishes. Cons: cosmetic wear shows with hard use.

Brass

Pros: adds mass for positive seating and control. Cons: heavier for all-day carry.

Polymer

Pros: light, affordable, EDC-friendly. Cons: less impact-resistant than metal.

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.
