Hogue 18230 Extension Base Pad Fits Glock 43 Compatible w/ 6rd Magazine Black Overmolded Rubber
The Hogue 18230 is a magazine extension base pad designed specifically for the Glock 43 9mm 6-round magazine. If you carry a Glock 43, you know the appeal: compact, reliable, perfectly sized for concealed carry. What you might not love is the abbreviated grip when you're shooting, especially if you have larger hands. Hogue's extension base pad solves that problem by adding a full finger groove below the magazine body, giving you a higher, more secure grip without adding bulk to your gun. It's the kind of small upgrade that meaningfully changes how the pistol feels in your hand during reloads and sustained fire.
Built from overmolded rubber with Hogue's signature Cobblestone texture, this pad is engineered to last. The thermoplastic elastomer ages gracefully and won't crack or degrade under daily carry and training. The material also provides genuine protection—your magazines stay intact when they hit the ground during rapid reloads, no chipped baseplates or dents. Installation takes minutes with no gunsmithing required; the pad simply seats onto your existing magazine.
This is a practical upgrade for shooters who want better ergonomics and control without sacrificing the Glock 43's carry profile. Pair it with Hogue's HandALL Beavertail Grip Sleeve for a complete, cohesive upgrade to your compact carry gun.
