This Extended Capacity Base Pad is a drop-in replacement floorplate for Smith & Wesson SD, SDVE, and Sigma-series magazines. It increases 9mm standard-capacity magazines by three (3) rounds and .40 S&W magazines by two (2) rounds. The primary function is to extend reload capacity without altering the magazine spring or follower geometry, providing a simple mechanical solution for shooters who need more rounds between reloads in competition or training. The base pad adds minimal length to the magazine while maintaining reliable feeding characteristics.

FAQ
Will this work with my factory 10-round magazine?
No. This base pad is designed for standard-capacity 9mm and .40 S&W magazines only. It will not fit 10-round restricted-capacity magazines due to different magazine body geometry.
Do I need to change my magazine spring or follower?
No. The base pad does not require replacement of the factory spring or follower. The +3/+2 capacity gain is achieved purely through the extended floorplate geometry.
