10-8 M&P base pad installed w/ pics
I'm in law enforcement so every bit of an advantage helps out when it comes to equipment for survival.
I realize that these M&P base pads are way overpriced compared to the others on the market but it helps me sleep at night and work at night knowing I have something robust and with cutouts to help facilitate mag removal in the event of a failure. I know in the gaming world these have no purpose.
I also realize 99% of owners are fine with the plastic compact base pads.
With that said, I don't mind helping out another LEO on his business venture (Hilton Yam).
I have a can of Aluma-Hyde II coming in from Brownells. These seem very prone to scratching since it's pretty much bare aluminum. They also soak up oil like no other. They fit very snugly onto the mag body.
One thing I would like Yam to do is to invert the "10-8" on the base pads. On a holstered perspective, the 10-8 is upside down. It would be better advertising as well. :p
