Product Description
Cut from brass bar stock, this is the heavyweight version of a part we developed at the request of the Border Patrol Tactical Operations Group (BORTAC).
This particular model weighs more than THREE OUNCES, reducing felt recoil. All our 140mm basepads for the HKP30/30L and VP9 have features not found on our basepads intended for competition: Anti-vibration locking screws, and a high-security locking plate without the ususal "quick-release" cut.
- Extra strong, extra thin (to fit the HK P30/VP frame) The basepad adds 5 rounds to the HKP30/VP .40 S&W and 9mm magazine
- A tremendous improvement over the factory-standard 13 or 15 rounds. It 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 rounds total makes the weapon vastly more competitive on the 3-Gun circuit 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.)
Due to U.S. State Department restrictions, we cannot ship this part internationally.

Taylor Freelance brass +4/5 Border Special basepad
I always wait to review a product until I’ve put it through its paces. This TF base plate is a winner. Over 300 rounds of Federal 124g 9mm ammo without a hiccup. I put another 300 rounds of Herters 115g 9mm through it with the same results. This +4/5 base plate is an excellent addition to an excellent pistol, the HK VP9. Works flawlessly with my TF magwell. The brass construction gives the gun a little more weight, adding to better follow-up shots and smooth mag changes. If this gun will eat through 600 rounds of this range ammo without any issues, I’m sold. Fast shipping and quality part. Can’t find the downside to more ammo at my fingertips.

Best competition mag extensions
Taylor Freelance makes some solid mag extensions! These mag extensions make 17 round mag extensions legal for USPSA and you won’t find anything better than these. It’s gotten to the point where the only mag extensions I buy now are from Taylor Freelance.

Just plain awesome
This really helps balance and reduce felt recoil with my VP9 and my P30. Be aware that some older mags have a different spring which can be order separately. I didn't know this but the owner helped me identify what I needed to make this work. Overall great product and even better customer service!

Mag extension
Absolutely awesome. The added weight at the bottom really gives a much more balance feel. I liked this product so much, I put in an order for 2 more, grips and backstrap. Can't speak highly enough about their product.
