Well Made, Easy Install, Nice Retention
I bought these for my Glock 34 Gen 5 magazines. They are well built, nicely anodized and install easily. The pin retention system holds the extension firmly in place. The weight added to the mag is nominal. They fall freely from the firearm. I ordered more!

Well worth the money
I've been running these for a couple years now and they are still as solid as the day I received them. You have to check prior to buying if they are compatible with your magwell. An extra 6 rounds is always appreciated whether you're working the streets or gunning in a competition.
Another quality product
This is a really solid product. I too have been using Arredondo's for years and quite honestly, never experienced a failure. I saw these displayed at SHOT and was interested. So far after months of hard running these have performed the same, no issues. If installed properly I can't see these ever coming off inadvertently. I check the little set screw pin locker every once in a while, just in case, and it has not budged. A great product made out of AL at the same price point.
Great Product
I read the low reviews and I had to shake my head. Yes, these will not work with some magwells because there are no set standards for a magwell. In terms of malfunctions, I have no experienced any. The included +10% spring works great. What does this base extension do? It adds an extra 6 rounds for your Glock 17 magazines, adds extra weight at the base so it helps ensure the magazine drops away when empty during a reload. I own six of these and they never fail to function. Highly recommend.
Sold construction for added firepower
The other reviews seemed to have issues, so far I have had none. My first try with this +6 base pad was adding it my glock 26 mags. While I needed to use a Glock 17 magazine spring, the product worked flawless and now I have 16+1 in my Glock 26 with the frame length between a G19 and G17 so it is still concealable. I own several more now. Great buy!
Good!
I've bought a couple of these and they seem to run fine for me. The construction and the way they attach to the magazine itself is my only complaint. The set screws have stripped out so I have just used the red loctite on the set pin itself and that holds very well. No problem with running these in my Glock in reference to the mag well.
Great Basepads
I too am a competitive shooter primarily in USPSA but also compete in 3 gun. I've used the Arredondos previously which are a good design. The TT basepads uses AL vs. plastic (Arredondos) but at the same price. The capacity are the same for the different brands. I use the basepads on a Glock with a Dawson Precision mag well. I have no issues with interference with the retaining pin on the TT basepads. Time will tell how durable the TT basepads are as I just started using them.
G17/22 Mags, not G19/23
This base pad extension is made for full-size Glock magazines, and will cant Glock 19/23 magazines. The cant can cause malfunctions and/or decrease compacity. The site did not show option for compact or full-size selection, just 9/40 or 45. Luckily, I know someone with an extra base pad for G19 that is going to swap with me. Please offer in the future so other customers do not have the same issue.
Failure to feed from plus 2 capacity.
Have had multiple failures to feed from the spring binding up in the extension. Will replace with tried and true Dawson precision. Wish I had never wasted the money. If you're going for "tactic-cool" this is all you. If your match, or more iumportantly, your life depends on your tools then do not buy this!
