Base pads for 10 round glock mags?
- Thread starter The_Shmoo
- Start date
A good place to start is IPSC, (International Practical Shooting Confederation) equipment seller, so most have "weighted" pads so that the mags "drop free" if your looking for just base pads, I use the Vickers Tactical ones. Give Freedom Ventures a shout??

which add or remove negligible weight to/from magazines, are permitted.
and
17. Aftermarket parts, components and accessories are prohibited, except as follows:
17.1 Aftermarket magazines are permitted, subject to 16.2 above.
17.2 Aftermarket open sights (see Rule 5.1.3.1) are permitted, provided their installation and/or adjustment
requires no alteration to the handgun.
17.3 Aftermarket grip panels which match the profile and contours of the OFM standard or optional grip
panels for the approved handgun and/or the application of tape on grips (see Appendix E3) are permitted.
However, rubber sleeves are prohibited.

What are you trying to accomplish by using different base pads?
Pinned normal capacity mags are superior (easier to load, easier to seat), except for ease of cleaning. However, Glock mags don't seem to get very dirty, so it's not a real problem.
