The TangoDown Vickers +2 base pad for Glock 43 magazine is a straightforward upgrade that solves one of the G43's biggest compromises: grip real estate. If you carry a Glock 43 for concealed carry or backup duty and find your pinky finger dangling off the magazine when you grip it, this extension transforms the gun's ergonomics without adding bulk where it matters. By extending the magazine floorplate, the +2 base pad gives your whole hand room to purchase the grip, which means better control, faster reacquisition, and more confident shot placement when seconds count.
The extension also bumps your on-board capacity from 6+1 to 8+1, a modest but meaningful gain for a carry gun. It's built from the same injection-molded material as the factory magazine body, so fit and function feel like factory-original. The kit includes a longer heat-treated stainless steel spring engineered to ensure 100% reliable last-round slide lock behavior—no babying the mag or worrying about short-stroking on your final round. Installation is straightforward: the kit replaces your existing floorplate and spring with the extended components.
Made in the USA, the Vickers +2 is available in black and designed for shooters who want a genuine grip-comfort improvement on the G43 platform without replacing the entire magazine or compromising concealment. One extension kit converts one standard Glock 43 magazine.

Yes. The Vickers +2 base pad is specifically designed for Glock 43 magazines. One kit converts one standard G43 magazine. The extended floorplate, retainer, and spring replace the original components.
The extension adds approximately 0.75 inches to the overall length of the loaded magazine, which may affect fit in some tight-fitting holster mag carriers. We recommend checking your holster's tolerance before purchasing, or contacting the holster manufacturer to confirm compatibility.
The Vickers +2 is engineered specifically to improve grip ergonomics on the compact G43 frame while maintaining the magazine's overall profile. It keeps your pinky off the basepad without requiring a physically longer magazine body, which preserves concealability. You get capacity and grip comfort without the bulk penalty of a full-size magazine.
Yes. The longer stainless steel spring in this kit is heat-treated and guaranteed to achieve 100% last-round slide lock, so you won't have reliability issues on your final round in the magazine.
