Description
The Micro9 comes with a tight grip, and if you've got normal to large hands, magazine swaps can feel cramped with that factory plastic base pad. The Hogue extended pad fixes that problem by replacing it with overmolded rubber that gives you a full finger groove underneath. Your pinky finally has somewhere to rest, which means better control during reloads and a more natural grip overall.
How the Extended Base Pad Improves Your Mag Handling
That extra grab matters more than you'd think. The rubber construction is soft enough to be comfortable but durable enough to handle constant use at the range or in carry rotation. The extended design sits below the magazine body, creating real estate for your small finger without making the mag stick out excessively from the grip. It's a simple upgrade that changes how the gun feels in your hand, especially when your magazines are the primary way you hold onto it during transitions.
Installation and Compatibility Notes
This pad only works with Kimber Micro9 7-round magazines, not the 6 or 8-round versions. Installation is straightforward and uses the factory screw that's already on your magazine, so you just need a 1/16-inch Allen wrench to swap them. The pad is black and matches factory Micro9 finishes or pairs well with Hogue's rubber wrap-around grips if you've upgraded those too.
The overmolded rubber is built to last without aging out or getting tacky. It's the kind of accessory that won't fall apart after a year of regular use.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this base pad work with all Kimber Micro 9 magazines?
No. The Hogue 39030 only fits Kimber Micro 9 7-round magazines. It won't work with the 6-round or 8-round Micro9 magazine variants because their base pad dimensions are different. Make sure you have 7-round mags before ordering.
Is this just a grip extension or does it add rounds?
It's a grip extension only. The base pad doesn't increase magazine capacity. It replaces the factory plastic base with rubber and extends below the magazine body to provide finger space. You're still carrying the same 7 rounds, but with better hand positioning.
What tool do I need to install the extended pad?
You'll need a 1/16-inch Allen wrench to remove the factory base plate screw and install the Hogue pad. The magazine itself is not included with the pad, only the rubber base extension.
Does this pad work with Hogue Micro 9 rubber grips?
Yes, the extended pad coordinates well with Hogue's wrap-around rubber grips for the Micro 9, though grips are sold separately. The pad is designed to work with any standard Micro 9 setup and won't interfere with aftermarket grips.
