The Hogue 18030 OverMolded Extension Base Pad transforms the grip characteristics of the Sig Sauer P365 12-round magazine while maintaining the pistol's concealability profile. This cobblestone-textured rubber extension eliminates the gap between the magazine and grip frame that can cause pinching during rapid reloads.
What Makes This Different
Unlike rigid polymer extensions that can crack under stress, Hogue's OverMolded construction bonds rubber directly to a rigid internal core. The cobblestone texture provides consistent grip traction in wet conditions where smooth surfaces fail. This extension adds approximately 0.5 inches to overall grip length without increasing magazine capacity, focusing purely on enhanced control and comfort.

Field performance demonstrates measurable improvement in reload consistency and shooting stability.

The rubber material maintains flexibility in temperature extremes from -20°F to 150°F without becoming brittle or soft.
