Just for looks
The baseplate was easy to install and it looks good but I guess I was expecting it to be a bit heavier. When I got it I honestly thought it was plastic with how light it was. Took a scribe to it and sure enough its aluminum.

Great Product but Lacking
At first look the Taran Tactical base pad is a great looking product. The base pad works perfect on a stock Glock with no end plug. Where I had a few problems was with my Magazine well. The little locking Bar hits the magazine well if it is flushed off on the bottom of the magazine and stops the magazine from locking in. This is a great product and could be better is they would have also included a new Extended Magazine spring
