Product Description
This upgraded version of the basepad we developed for the Border Patrol Tactical Operations Group (BORTAC) has a history of excellence. Known for extreme durability, it offers shooters a meaningful capacity advantage.
Originally developed at San Antonio BORTAC's request, our 140mm basepad for the HKP30/30L and VP9 has been through multiple upgrades, and still has extra features not found on basepads intended for competition.
- High Security locking plate design (no "quick-release" cut).
- Heavier shoulder profile. More durable overall.
- (NEW!) Updated shoulder profile - safe for use in the VP9A1 and VP9A1K.
- (NEW!) Lightening cuts on sides and top increase grip, reduce weight/bulk.
- (NEW!) Dot-tracker system for keeping track of individual mags.
- Fits 15 & 17 round mags
- USPSA legal -- fits the "141.25mm" gauge used for Carry Optics, Limited Optics, Limited, etc.
Adds 5 rounds to the HKVP9 and HKP30/P30L .40 S&W and 9mm magazines (adds 4 on the new 17-rounder). 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 this family of pistols vastly more competitive 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.) Older VP9s with 15-round magazines use a different spring -- available on request.
Weight: 1.4 ounces
Material: Aluminum
Color: Black
NOTE: Due to state department restrictions we cannot ship this part internationally.

+4/5 BORDER SPECIAL BASEPAD WITH SPRING
Excellent addition to an otherwise fantastic pistol. TF quality and craftsmanship. I have put over 300 Federal 124g 9mm rounds through the gun with this extended mag base with 0 hiccups. The more ammo the better. Work flawlessly with the TF magwell. High quality, fast shipping, flawless operation makes me a happy boy. Two thumbs up.

Border Special +5
I found that I had to: 1) bend the end of the spring at the follower out 15-20 degrees and.... 2) cut around 1/4" off that end so there is no drag along the inside of the mag canting the follower causing no slide lockup on last round fired. Be sure to leave enough on that spring end to lock the spring to the guide on the follower bottom. Good wire cutter and pair of needle nose.

HK Border Special VP9L
Works great on my vp9l. Easy to install. Took only a couple min. Makes 17rnd a 21rnd. At 21, it was tight, didn't try squeezing in the 22nd. Also on a closed slide, takes a little more force to seat in mag, but works great. Slide racks fine with 21rnds inside. Build seems very solid also. Was gonna try the HKParts ones, but this TF ones seem a lot better quality from what forums say. Glad I went with TF.

HK Border special - Black w/spring
Solid product. Got these for my 15rd and 17rd mags. 15s go to 20 as specified. 17s go to 21 (22 if you really wonna jam the last one in). Ran em thru matches already. No failures and slide locks back. Will order more when I get more mags.

Solid performance and zero problems
I’ve been running six of these for a few months of competition in Steel Challenge and USPSA CO, with absolutely zero issues of any kind. Despite being dropped in dirt, snow and mud, they just keep running. Even when I screw up and get a slide lock, they do lock reliably, and they don’t scramble rounds when dropped with a partial load. Quality product, and comes with everything you need to convert an HK VP/P30 17-round mag to a reliable 21 rounds (and a very tight 22).

shop here first
I tried 2 other companies versions and had constant feed failure, even with + power springs. This has functioned flawlessly on the same magazine that the others failed on. No issues with several hundred rounds through this extended magazine.
