Gain a competitive edge with the Tanfoglio Stock 2/3 +2 brass magazine base pad that adds two rounds of capacity while providing substantial weight for improved magazine handling. Precision-machined from solid brass, this base pad transforms your Tanfoglio magazines into competition-ready equipment for IPSC Standard Division shooting.
Every competitive shooter understands that magazine capacity and reload speed directly impact stage times. The +2 brass base pad addresses both: additional rounds reduce stage reloads and provide margin for makeup shots, while the brass weight ensures magazines drop free instantly and insert positively during high-speed reloads.
Why Brass Base Pads Outperform Aluminium
Solid brass construction provides performance advantages that lighter materials cannot match:
- Faster Magazine Drops – Added weight ensures magazines eject cleanly from the pistol without hanging up
- Positive Magazine Insertion – Weight helps guide magazines home during reloads, reducing fumbles under pressure
- Superior Drop Protection – Brass absorbs impact better than aluminium, protecting magazine bodies from concrete drops
- Enhanced Grip Surface – Larger base pad provides positive grip for confident magazine handling during reloads
- Improved Recoil Characteristics – Additional magazine weight contributes to overall pistol balance
+2 Capacity for Fewer Reloads
Two additional rounds per magazine provides meaningful tactical advantages:
- Reduce Stage Reloads – Complete more stages without mandatory reloads
- Makeup Shot Margin – Extra rounds provide insurance for required makeup shots without running dry
- Stage Planning Flexibility – More options when planning round counts for complex stages
- IPSC Standard Division Legal – Complies with Standard Division capacity rules

Frequently Asked Questions
Will these fit Mecgar or aftermarket Tanfoglio magazines?
These base pads are designed for factory Tanfoglio Stock 2/3 magazines. Fitment on Mecgar or other aftermarket magazines may vary. Contact us with your specific magazine brand for compatibility verification.
How much weight does the brass base pad add?
Solid brass construction adds significant weight compared to factory base pads, improving magazine drop speed and insertion feel. Exact weight varies by finish.
Are these legal for IPSC Production Division?
IPSC Production Division limits magazine base pad extensions. These +2 base pads are designed for Standard Division where extended capacity is permitted. Check current IPSC rules for Production Division base pad limits.
Which finish should I choose?
All finishes provide the same performance. Black is most popular for durability and low visibility. Chrome and Gold Plated offer high visibility for easier magazine identification and a distinctive look.
How many should I buy?
Most IPSC competitors run 4-6 magazines. We recommend equipping all competition magazines with matching base pads for consistent weight and handling.
