Taran Tactical - Base Pad for Glock 9/40 Magazines +3/4 Coyote Bronze

The primary benefit of using the Taran Tactical Base Pad is the increased magazine capacity it provides. For Glock 9mm magazines, it adds four extra rounds, and for .40 caliber magazines, it adds three extra rounds. This enhancement is particularly advantageous for competitive shooters who need to maximize their rounds without frequent reloads. Additionally, the added weight of the base pad helps ensure that empty magazines drop free easily, facilitating faster reloads during high-pressure situations.

The patented push pin design of the Taran Tactical Base Pad allows for easy installation and removal without the need for special tools. This design feature simplifies the process of attaching and detaching the base pad from your Glock magazine, making it convenient for users who frequently switch between different magazine configurations. The ease of use is particularly beneficial in competitive shooting environments where time is of the essence.

The Taran Tactical Base Pad is compatible with several Glock models, including the 17, 17L, 19X, 22, 24, 34, 35, and 45. It is specifically designed to work with high-capacity double-stacked Glock OEM magazines. However, it is important to note that it does not fit Glock 19 magazines, 10-round magazines, or early generation Glock mags with u-notch cut feed lips. Ensuring compatibility with your specific model is crucial for optimal performance.

The Taran Tactical Base Pad is not compatible with Glock 19 magazines due to its design specifications tailored for full-size Glock models. The base pad is engineered to fit high-capacity, double-stacked magazines, which are not characteristic of the Glock 19's standard magazine design. Attempting to use the base pad with incompatible magazines could result in improper fit and function, potentially affecting the reliability of your firearm.

The Taran Tactical Base Pad is constructed from CNC machined billet aluminum. This material choice ensures durability and a lightweight design, weighing only 0.8 ounces. The base pad also features a hard anodized finish in Coyote Bronze, providing additional protection against wear and corrosion. This robust construction makes it suitable for rigorous use in competitive shooting and tactical applications.

The Taran Tactical Base Pad cannot be shipped to states with magazine capacity restrictions. These states include California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington. Orders to these states will be canceled and refunded. It's important to be aware of local laws regarding magazine capacities to ensure compliance.

The added weight of the Taran Tactical Base Pad helps ensure that empty magazines drop free more easily. This feature is particularly beneficial in competitive shooting scenarios where quick magazine changes are crucial. The additional weight aids in overcoming any friction or resistance that might prevent a smooth ejection, thereby enhancing the speed and efficiency of reloads.

The Taran Tactical Base Pad is not compatible with early generation Glock magazines that have u-notch cut feed lips. These older magazine designs do not accommodate the base pad's attachment mechanism, which could result in an insecure fit. Using the base pad with such magazines may lead to feeding issues or failures to eject, compromising the reliability of your firearm during use.

The Taran Tactical Base Pad is well-suited for tactical use due to its robust construction and increased magazine capacity. Made from CNC machined billet aluminum with a hard anodized finish, it can withstand the demands of tactical environments. The additional rounds provided by the base pad also offer a tactical advantage by reducing the frequency of reloads, allowing for sustained engagement in high-stress situations.

The Taran Tactical Base Pad is endorsed by professional shooters because it enhances magazine capacity and performance, which are critical in competitive settings. Its design allows for quick and reliable magazine changes, a key factor in maintaining a competitive edge. Professional shooters such as the Glock Shooting Team, Randi Rogers, Allie Barrett, and Taran Butler himself choose this base pad for its proven reliability and performance in high-stakes competitions.
