Base pads for Tanfoglio

(8 products)

Base pads for Tanfoglio 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: larger, textured pads help magazines lock in under stress.
  • Added capacity: extensions provide extra rounds where allowed—see product notes for exact gains.
  • Magwell fit: magwell-compatible height/geometry seats positively 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: added capacity; some models require a spring/follower kit for reliability.

Tanfoglio compatibility—quick checks

  • Stock / Limited / Defiant series: match pad to your exact frame/variant and magazine brand.
  • Competition funnels: larger race magwells often need taller pads; confirm division length limits.
  • Compact vs. full-size: compact mags are shorter—choose pads listed for your specific mag body.

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 when 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.
