ZEV Basepad for Glock 9mm Luger/.40 S&W Red 5/rd

The ZEV Basepad for Glock 9mm Luger/.40 S&W in red is a magazine extension that increases capacity on standard-size Glock magazines without requiring replacement of the magazine body itself. This 5-round-capacity basepad system is engineered for operators and competitive shooters who need additional ammunition reserves in duty or training scenarios while maintaining compatibility with existing Glock platform magazines.

The three-piece modular design permits field assembly and disassembly without damaging the magazine tube—a critical advantage during maintenance cycles when springs require cleaning or replacement. The basepad adds five rounds to 9mm magazines and four rounds to .40 caliber magazines, extending magazine length while preserving magazine geometry for secure seating in magazine pouches and carriers. An additional power spring is included, allowing users to maintain performance consistency across multiple magazines or have a backup spring during extended use cycles.

This basepad is suited for law enforcement personnel, competitive shooters, and civilian operators who run standard-capacity Glock 17 or Glock 22 magazines in 9mm or .40 S&W platforms. The red finish provides visual distinction during high-volume training or when organizing multiple ammunition configurations. The extension is lightweight and straightforward to install, making it practical for both armorer-level maintenance and individual shooter customization without specialized tools.

Magazine capacity extensions have become standard in competitive shooting disciplines and duty carry setups where additional on-board ammunition reduces reload frequency. The Glock platform remains one of the most widely fielded service pistols across law enforcement and military units, making basepad upgrades a cost-effective way to modify existing magazine inventories rather than purchasing entirely new magazines.
