I put rubber bottom bumpers on all of my 15rd Hi-Power mags (for Browning Practical, Browning Mk3, and Feg clone). But those are all gone and I recently picked-up a very nice Girsan. I would like to find those stick on bumper pads for the magazines, but they're not showing on Ebay, Brownell's, or Midway USA. Does anyone else carry them?

I'd kind of like to snazz the Girsan up and include it in my carry rotation of multiple P365s and M&Ps. I've got an uphill battle in their polymer frames making a huge different in weight. The biggest thing that I need to get done is a trigger job on the Girsan. I can't say that either of the BHPs or FEG had decent triggers in stock form either.

Anyways, I want to put those bumper pads on the mags, improve the trigger, and put a nice custom grips on it.

@Red_Label I run these on my metal-bottomed BHP MecGars:




Beretta universal bumper pads

If you don't mind the Beretta "PB" on the bottom. They stick well to metal *and* are removable later, true to the ad copy...

You could install the BH Spring Solutions SFS Kit to give you a Hammer Down Condition 1
https://bhspringsolutions.com/index.php/product/fast-safety-sfs-v2-0-essential-for-hi-power/

AND, then add the APEX Tactical Straight Trigger
https://www.apextactical.com/wide-flat-trigger-for-sa-35-and-bhp-pistols

I added both of these to my Girsan PI.  I installed the SFS kit first and it works great,
Then I installed the APEX Straight Trigger.

Now the trigger has a real Wall, AND has an actual Click (Felt & Heard) at Trigger reset.

Good Luck with your Girsan.

When I was in grad school in 1980 I bought my first Hi Power. I don't think anyone was selling magazine base pads back then, so I made my own.
I found a sheet of rubber, traced the outline, then cut it with an Xacto knife. I don't remember what glue I used, but it was likely epoxy.
