The Hogue 18023 OverMolded Extension Base Pad transforms the Sig Sauer P365's grip ergonomics with professional-grade rubber construction. This FDE cobblestone-textured extension eliminates the gap between magazine and grip frame while providing enhanced control surface area.
What Makes This Different
Unlike basic plastic extensions, Hogue's OverMolded technology bonds rubber directly to the base pad structure for permanent adhesion. The cobblestone texture pattern provides 40% more surface contact than smooth alternatives. This extension maintains the P365's concealability while adding crucial grip real estate that standard 10-round magazines lack.
Key Features
- OverMolded rubber construction with cobblestone texture for maximum grip retention
- Flat Dark Earth (FDE) finish matches popular P365 color schemes
- Precision-fit design for Sig Sauer P365 10-round magazines
- Eliminates pinky gap without compromising concealability
- Impact-resistant polymer core with bonded rubber overlay
- Maintains magazine spring tension and feeding reliability
- Compatible with most P365 holsters designed for flush-fit magazines
Field performance shows consistent feeding across various ammunition weights from 115gr to 147gr. The extension's low profile clears most inside-the-waistband holsters without modification. Law enforcement officers report improved weapon retention during high-stress scenarios, while competitive shooters note faster reload indexing. The rubber compound resists temperature extremes from -20°F to 140°F without hardening or becoming tacky.
