Radian Weapons Magazine Base Pad Fits Glock 19 23 2 Pack Anodized Black R0953 UPC 810098421621
Product Description
The Radian Weapons® Magazine Base Pad 2-Pack for GLOCK® 19/23 (SKU: R0953 / UPC: 810098421621) upgrades factory OEM compact magazines with billet durability, positive indexing, and enhanced reload ergonomics. While standard factory polymer baseplates are prone to cracking when dropped on rough surfaces and can sit flush inside flared magwells, Radian's direct-replacement base pads provide the structural integrity and mechanical leverage required for duty, concealed carry, and competitive shooting. Sold as a matched set of two, these +0 capacity base pads retain 100% factory round count, making them fully compliant in capacity-restricted jurisdictions while maximizing magazine handling under high stress.
Each base pad is precision CNC-machined in the United States from solid billet aerospace-grade 6061-T6 aluminum, delivering rigid structural strength without unnecessary bulk. The exterior is treated with a resilient MIL-A-8625 Type III Class 2 Hardcoat Anodize in matte Black, shielding the aluminum from aggressive cleaning solvents, bore oils, perspiration, and harsh environmental grit. By adding functional mass to the lower heel of the magazine, the Radian base pad aids in gravity-assisted drop-free ejection, ensuring spent magazines clear the pistol grip cleanly during speed and slide-lock reloads.
Ergonomically contoured for tactical readiness, the side profiles feature deep machining scallops and traction serrations that allow the shooter to index spare magazines consistently from belt pouches. In the event of a severe failure-to-extract or double-feed malfunction, these tactile side channels give your support hand an aggressive gripping surface to forcefully strip the magazine from the well. Specifically profiled to mate flush with the Radian ANCHOR™ + MAGWELL system, this base pad provides ample clearance for positive seating while preventing over-insertion or side-play inside the frame chute.
*Armorer Bench Notes & Real-World Staging Guidance:*
Fitment Matrix: OEM Factory GLOCK 19, GLOCK 23, GLOCK 44, and GLOCK 49 magazines across Gen 3, Gen 4, and Gen 5. CRITICAL fitment warnings: Engineered strictly for OEM factory GLOCK compact steel-lined polymer magazines. Does NOT fit full-size GLOCK magazines (G17, G34, G45, G47 use R0950). Does NOT fit Slimline GLOCK models (G43, G43X, G48 use R0896). Does NOT fit large-frame models (10mm/.45 ACP). Incompatible with aftermarket magazines (Magpul PMAG, ETS, ProMag). This is a +0 base pad and utilizes your OEM factory magazine spring, follower, and bottom floorplate insert.
- Ensure the host firearm is completely clear, magazine removed, and chamber visually and physically verified empty. Wear ballistic eye protection throughout magazine disassembly.
- Insert an armorer punch into the bottom circular detent of the factory magazine floorplate to fully depress the internal locking insert button below the floorplate rim.
- Maintain downward punch pressure while squeezing the lower sidewalls of the polymer magazine body to disengage the internal locking tabs; carefully slide the factory plastic baseplate forward and off the magazine rails.
- Control the magazine spring with your thumb as the factory plate slides off; retain the OEM follower, magazine spring, and plastic bottom insert inside the magazine tube.
- Align the internal retention tracks of the Radian billet base pad with the magazine body rails, press the spring and insert flush into the tube, and slide the Radian base pad rearward until the factory insert button snaps firmly and flush into the bottom detent aperture.
