Description
If you run a Glock 17 in competition or want to maximize your magazine capacity, the TTI Firepower Basepad kit offers a straightforward way to add firepower without complications. This basepad takes a standard 17-round magazine up to 23 rounds in 9mm, or 20 rounds in .40 caliber. The capacity boost makes a real difference during stages where every round counts.
The construction is what sets Taran Tactical apart in this space. Each basepad is CNC machined from billet aluminum and hard anodized in a vibrant red finish that holds up to regular use. The design feels solid in your hands and won't degrade over time like polymer alternatives. Overall weight comes in at 1.6 ounces, which is enough to help magazines drop free reliably during reloads without feeling bulky.
Why the Push Pin Design Matters
One of the biggest advantages of TTI's approach is the patented push pin mechanism that locks the basepad to your magazine. Unlike basepads that require tools or complicated procedures to remove, you simply push down the retention pin, slide the basepad on, and push it back up. No allen keys, no screwdrivers, no guessing. Field stripping between stages or doing a quick mag cleaning at the range becomes effortless. The one-piece design means there are no small parts to lose in your gear or between your shooting stations.
Built for Competition
Tournament-Legal Capacity and Fit
This extension fits within USPSA 140mm gauge requirements, making it legal for competition divisions where equipment box length matters. The beveled front edge catches on magwell lips cleanly, reducing the chance of off-angle reloads failing to seat properly. The kit comes with a beefier magazine spring—10% stronger than stock—engineered specifically for the extra capacity so feeding stays reliable when you're running a fully loaded magazine under pressure.
Made in the USA and backed by real-world testing from Taran Butler himself, plus endorsements from national-level competitors, this basepad delivers performance that goes beyond just adding rounds to your mag.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the TTI Firepower basepad work with any Glock magazine?
This extension is tested and designed specifically for OEM Glock factory magazines. It works with full-size double-stack magazines from Glock 17, 17L, 19X, 22, 24, 34, 35, and 45 models. Early generation Glock magazines with u-notch cut feed lips are not compatible. Taran Tactical recommends checking your specific magazines with a gauge before competition to ensure proper fitment.
Do I need specialized tools to install or remove the TTI basepad?
No. The patented push pin design makes installation and removal completely tool-free. You push down the retention pin, slide the basepad onto the magazine tube, then push the pin back up to lock it in place. Field stripping is just as simple and requires no allen keys or screwdrivers.
What's the difference between the TTI +5/6 and +3/4 basepads?
The +5/6 basepad adds 6 rounds to 9mm magazines and 5 rounds to .40 caliber magazines, bringing a G17 from 17 to 23 rounds in 9mm. It includes a stronger spring and weighs 1.6oz. The +3/4 adds fewer rounds and works with your existing magazine spring. Choose the +5/6 if you want maximum capacity and reliability under full-mag conditions.
Are TTI basepads legal for USPSA competition?
Yes, TTI Firepower basepads fit within USPSA 140mm gauge specifications and are legal in Carry Optics and Limited Optics divisions with no length cap. They're also legal in Production division when used in magazines that still meet the 141.25mm equipment-box length limit. Always verify current competition rules with your local match director before the match.
