Hogue Grip Extension Base Pad Glock 42 .380 6-Round FDE

Description

The Glock 42 is a fantastic compact carry gun, but that smaller frame can leave your pinky finger hanging in the air. That's where this Hogue base pad comes in. It replaces your factory magazine floor plate and extends just enough below the mag to give you that critical extra finger groove. This isn't about adding capacity; it's about making your grip comfortable and secure with a 6-round .380 magazine.

Built tough from overmolded rubber thermoplastic elastomer, this base pad is finished in Flat Dark Earth and textured with Hogue's famous Cobblestone pattern. That pattern does real work for you, especially during high-pressure magazine changes or when your hands are wet or sweaty. The extended design also acts as a shock absorber, cushioning your magazines when you execute a tactical ground drop or just bump them around in a range bag.

Installing the Hogue Base Pad on Your Glock 42 Magazine

Swapping out your factory base pad is straightforward and requires no permanent modifications to your magazine. Just tap off the original floor plate and slide the new Hogue pad into place. The fit is precision-engineered for the Glock 42's 6-round magazines. This works great on its own, and pairs seamlessly with Hogue's HandALL Beavertail Grip Sleeve if you want to go all in on upgrading your carry comfort.

Durable Material Built to Last

Hogue's thermoplastic elastomer won't harden, crack, or split over time, even with regular exposure to gun oils, cleaners, and range solvents. The Cobblestone texture stays grippy year after year. Your magazines get protected from impacts, and you get a better hand purchase every single time you handle your carry gun.
