Taylor Freelance S&W M&P +5/6 Magazine Basepad Extension
The Taylor Freelance M&P +5/6 is a machined aluminum magazine extension built to get the most capacity out of a full-size S&W M&P magazine while staying inside the 140mm length limit for USPSA Carry Optics. It adds +6 rounds in 9mm and +5 rounds in .40 S&W, and the extended spring it needs is included.
At 1.3 oz, the aluminum pad adds a bit of weight to help empty magazines drop free on reloads. If you want even more drop weight, see the brass version.
Magwell Compatibility
This basepad does not fit the factory magwell on the M&P Competitor HD metal frame. It does fit the Springer Precision Metal Frame Magwell and the Floyd's Custom Shop Competitor Magwell.
