Base pads for Sig Sauer
(2 products)
Base pads for Sig Sauer 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 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 plates.
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.
SIG compatibility—quick checks
-
P320 (Carry/Full/X-Series): match pad to your module and magazine body (17/21 etc.). Race funnels (e.g., X5 Legion) often need taller, magwell-compatible pads.
-
P365 family: pads must match mag length (10/12/15). Some extensions include or require specific springs/followers.
-
P226 / P229 (classic P-series): verify mag brand/body and grip style (E2 vs. classic panels). Magwell builds typically need extended pads for positive seating.
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
- Unload; control the spring while removing the OEM floorplate (eye protection recommended).
- Fit the new pad (and spring/follower if supplied), ensuring the locking insert engages.
- With slide locked back, insert a loaded magazine to confirm positive seating—especially with a magwell—and verify drop-free.
