Description
If you run a Smith & Wesson M&P for competition or everyday carry, this extended base plate from Ed Brown is a straightforward way to squeeze more ammo into your existing magazines. The pad slides onto your magazine just like a standard base plate but extends 2 extra rounds of capacity without requiring you to modify anything inside the magazine itself.
What Makes the Ed Brown M&P Base Plate +2 Stand Out
The build quality here is solid. It's fully machined from aluminum and anodized black to handle regular use without looking beat up. Ed Brown engineered this with a slightly aggressive profile that gives your fingers enough traction to manipulate the magazine quickly during reloads, whether you're pushing through a string at a match or managing a reload under stress. The grip texture isn't so aggressive that it becomes uncomfortable during extended handling, which matters if you're doing high-round-count training sessions.
Compatibility and Installation
This base plate works on both standard M&P and M&P 2.0 full-size magazines in 9mm or .40 S&W. Installation is simple and doesn't require any gunsmithing or special tools. It pairs well with the Ed Brown Magwell if you're running that too, but works just fine on its own. The pad also provides an extra layer of protection to your magazine, which extends the life of your existing magazines.
Built for the Long Haul
The anodized aluminum construction means this isn't something you'll need to replace. The finish holds up through repeated reloads and the anodizing won't wear through easily with normal use.
