The Taran Tactical Innovations GLOCK +5/6 base pad works on GLOCK models 17/17L/19X/22/24/34/35/45 9mm. This base pad will add 6 extra rounds in 9mm and 5 extra rounds in 40 Caliber to the magazine. This base pad does add a little extra weight to the magazine which helps the empty mag drop free easier for faster reloads. This GLOCK base pad just like all of the base pads is designed to give you the edge over your adversaries. We use the patented push pin design to lock the base pad to the magazine which makes for easy field stripping and cleaning your magazines between stages. Just push down the pin slide the base pad on and push the pin up to lock the base pad onto the magazine. Our one piece design is great because there are no extra parts or tools needed to attach the base pad to your magazine. The base pad itself is machined out of billet aluminum and is hard anodized to ensure durable long lasting color.
