The Strike Industries EMPALG17FDE Extended Mag Plate transforms standard Glock 17 and 22 magazines into enhanced tactical tools. This precision-machined aluminum baseplate adds critical grip extension while maintaining the magazine's original capacity and reliability.
What Makes This Different
Unlike polymer factory baseplates that can crack under stress, this extended mag plate features 6061-T6 aluminum construction with a Type III hard anodized finish. The extended design provides additional grip surface area, allowing shooters to achieve a full firing grip on compact frames or when using standard magazines in extended applications. The flat dark earth finish matches popular tactical color schemes while resisting corrosion and wear.
