Flush mag base plate

[Deputydave]

All my HK mags have the pinky extension. I noticed that this occasionally catches on my shirt when pulling it up to practice drawing from my OWB holster. Decided to try the flush (standard) base plate. Found one for $3 so I ordered it. I'm thinking this should be a bit better for drawing from concealment.

Anyone else use this type of base plate?

The only type that I use.
They are usually nowhere to be found--- you were fortunate.

It did take a bit of googlefu. Mostly they were around $7 but I found them HERE. Only ordered one as I figured that would go on the mag in the pistol. The spares are fine as-is. Ordered last night and it's already shipped so happy with the service so far.

I like the flat floorplates. I have a some range mags with the pinky as well but the majority have been swapped out and always carry the flat. Next to adding a 45c magazine release to the pistols that need it, it is really the only other mod I make. And if I ever need/want to switch back, it would take longer to retrieve one out of the parts tub than to swap it out.

Try to find them for .45 ACP--- though I stopped looking.

The one on the right has the familiar, HK "blank rectangle"--- though not so recessed.

Arrived in the mail today. Easy switch (love HK base plates!) Still provides a solid 3-finger grip and lessens the chance to snag on clothing.

Yay me

Flat base pads and night sights are mandatory for me on the HK pistols I EDC. Good score.

For some reason on the USPc45 it seems to “shrink” the pistol above and beyond just the base plate.

I use the flat on the carry weapon, USPc have a few, HK .45C have only a couple have to which to rotate to fresh mags, and P-2000 or P2000SK have a few on those.

For me as well plus the enhanced paddle release.

Yes, I forgot about that as well. Definitely.

Bought another flush base plate, this one for my P2000. I'm liking them quite a bit. The others with the pinky extensions are fine for the spare mags.

Deputydave did the new flat floor plates come with the Hk logo or the Tactical Blank Rectangle
I now only carry with the flat plates because they are smaller & less likely to snag or dig into you're kidney
Have one ten round flat plate too.. Shown from the side in post #6
The 2nd one in this tiny picture with Hk & doesn't protrude any at all, Almost like these where designed to fit the pistol during the AWB

I'll let you know on the Hk45C magazine release SOON!!

NOTE: How even the Flat 12 Round Magazines Protrude 2-3mms

Man these are sure some Bad @$$ Pistols
I read stories where guys say "This was my 1st Pistol"
Mine was an Tanfoglio FIE Titan II 22lr POS Model & You Know What That Means
Soon replaced by a S&W Model 60 38 Spl.

The say USP on the bottom. No HK and no blank rectangle. Slide on without issue, like them quite a bit.
