Howdy,

I have a KRD Hi Power magazine with the 17 round extended base plate/floorplate. It works fine, but the base is plastic and I have the feeling it'll fail eventually. I want a replacement lined up, and I wouldn't be mad if that replacement had an even greater capacity.

So, does anyone make an extended metal baseplate and spring that will fit a Hi Power magazine?

I had actually meant to ask about that. I suppose you could also hunt for a Mec-Gar 20-rounder.

Not even all Beretta mags work with them.

Pierce Grip used to make +2 for the BHP. I got some of the last parts they had.

I do have a printable one on thingiverse based on the Pierce Grip.
