HK P30/P30L/VP9 "BORDER SPECIAL" Plus 5 Magazine Extension by Taylor Freelance
This is the exact basepad we ship to the Border Patrol Tactical Operations Group (BORTAC) - only in a fancy black anodize.
This was normally a special-order item, but we made it available to the public in 2015. Developed at BORTAC's request, our 140mm basepad for the HKP30/30L and VP9 has features not found on our basepads intended for competition.
- Anti-vibration locking screws
- Black-coated SPRING STEEL locking plate -- extra strong, extra thin (replaces earlier stainless model)
- High Security locking plate design (no "quick-release" cuts)
- (NEW!) Heavier shoulder profile. More durable overall.
Basepad adds 5 rounds to the HKVP9 and HKP30/P30L .40 S&W and 9mm magazines (both the old and new versions). 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 20/21 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.)
Weight: 1.4 ounces
Material: Aluminum
