The Hogue 18223 extension base pad is a straightforward upgrade for shooters carrying or shooting a Glock 42 with 6-round magazines. This overmolded rubber pad extends below your magazine to add a full finger groove, solving the common complaint of compact .380 pistols: a too-short grip for three-finger control. Made from durable thermoplastic elastomer, it's textured with Hogue's recognizable Cobblestone pattern for reliable purchase in wet conditions or gloved hands. The FDE (Flat Dark Earth) color matches naturally with the Glock 42's profile, and installation is as simple as sliding it onto your magazine base—no tools or gunsmithing required.
If you carry a Glock 42 or shoot it regularly at the range, you've likely felt that six-rounder pinch your pinky finger into an uncomfortable curl. The Hogue pad doesn't magically transform a single-stack into a full-size duty gun, but it does give you genuine, functional extra purchase where it counts most—your third finger. That matters in reloads, transitions, and the everyday familiarity of a proper grip. The rubber compound is built to age without cracking or degrading, so it'll stay functional through years of draw practice and hard use.
One practical note: this pad fits only the Glock 42 in .380 ACP with its 6-round magazines. It's also compatible with the Hogue HandALL Beavertail Grip Sleeve if you're building out a full ergonomic package. The pad also provides some protection to your magazine during ground drops and reloads, reducing dings that wear out your feed lips over time. Magazine itself is not included—you're upgrading the pad on what you already carry or own.
