This is the exact basepad we ship to the Border Patrol Tactical Operations Group (BORTAC) - only in a fancy black anodize.
This was normally a special-order item, but we made it available to the public in 2015. Developed at BORTAC's request, our 140mm basepad for the HKP30/30L and VP9 has features not found on our basepads intended for competition.
- Anti-vibration locking screws
- Black-coated SPRING STEEL locking plate -- extra strong, extra thin (replaces earlier stainless model)
- High Security locking plate design (no "quick-release" cuts)
- (NEW!) Heavier shoulder profile. More durable overall.
Basepad adds 5 rounds to the HKVP9 and HKP30/P30L .40 S&W and 9mm magazines (both the old and new versions). It also works on the HKP2000 and P2000SK, where it provides 4 additional rounds.
Competition Value: While working on this project, we were contacted by 3-Gunners who also shoot the HK. Happily, the design works for them as well. Northwest 3-Gunners TJ Lurvey and Tavis Miller participated in the R+D. For them, going to 18 or 20/21 rounds total makes the weapon vastly more competitive on the 3-Gun circuit in ways it just wasn't before.
CUSTOM SPRING INCLUDED: The "Border Special" ships with a custom 140mm spring. (Using the standard spring, the slide will not lock back consistently.)
Weight: 1.4 ounces
Material: Aluminum

Work great
They work great.
Excellent duty mag extension
Great quality machining and fit. Installation was really simple. It has not given me one issue at all. Ran it through qualifications without a hiccup. It’s nice to add a few extra rounds of .40 to my primary magazine at work.
