Have a couple calibers in Glocks now. Looking to rapidly differentiate my 9mm from 10mm mags stored baseplate up. Just want to spray the baseplates a dark grey for quick grab if need be. ———————————————— The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad. If we got each other, and that's all we have.

I would try either Krylon's paint for plastics (sorry I can't remember the exact name) or Plasti-dip as it can be removed easily if you choose later. Many colors and ~$5 a can. A Perpetual Disappointment... | |||

Glock use to sell orange base plates for training mags. Maybe use them for 9mm. | |||

Krylon’s plastic paint, called “Fusion”, I believe, is pretty decent. I’m sure training with and dropping the mags will shorten it’s life though. The best result I ever had painting plastic was starting with a primer called “XIM”. It comes in a spray can and you can literally paint glass with it. Last time I checked it was about $10 a can at Sherwin-Williams. | |||

I use an orange sharpie to put 40 on the back of those G22/23 mags and I put a large orange dot on the side of the G42 mags to tell them apart from the G43 magazines. G43 and G17/19 mags get nothing but numbers on the side, except I also use I use orange OEM baseplates for all my Glock 17/19 training mags. | |||

One thing that worked for me was different baseplates for different rounds. Pierce for 9mm, Anodized for 38 Super, +1 for .45, +2 on 10mm, OEM for 357 Sig, etc... Also works with Kriss Vector mags as they accept baseplates on the end. | |||

I put orange baseplates on my 10mm mags. Bought them on Amazon. End of Earth: 2 Miles Upper Peninsula: 4 Miles | |||

I use different colors of nail polish with dots on Glocks mags for cal. For example two dots yellow for Glock 19 #2 magazine. 3 dots red for Glock 23 #3 magazine. Helps weed out bad mags if there is an issue. | |||

Glock makes factory base plates in orange. I have a few that I use when I’m rafting or fishing so I can easily see that the magazine is in the gun. | |||

I did the paint thing for a while to differentiate between 9mm and .40S&W mags. Discovered that I was not nice to the paint; it looked like crap after a few weeks. Now I've been switching over to colored TangoDown Vickers base plates; black for .40S&W, grey for 9mm. One plus is that I like the additional purchase surface afforded by their greater width; makes ripping a mag out of the well a tad bit easier...for those tactical reloads, of course... ![]() | |||

I use a metallic silver Sharpie to write on my Glock mags and baseplates. Lasts for a year or so of regular use before needing to be touched up. | |||

I have so many versions of mags that it became a problem differentiating them. I got orange baseplates for my Glocks from Amazon-I think they came in a package of 10. But I got stickers from an outfit on eBay for a number of different Sig magazines. Just go to eBay and search magazine baseplate stickers, there is a wide array of designs and calibers, etc, and they are cheap. The ones I have seem to hold up pretty well. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.htm...te+stickers&_sacat=0 CMSGT USAF (Retired) Chief of Police (Retired) | |||

Thanks. I’ll be grabbing the grey baseplates by Vickers. The Glock Orange is a little to bright for my taste. ———————————————— The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad.

I use Krylon. Blue bottom is a good mag with Win Ranger. Yellow bottom is a training mag. Scouts Out | |||

I like the white sharpie paint pens. They last quite a while. | |||

I use a white paint pen, but for the baseplates use the Vickers, and they're various colors, which makes it easy to color code. | |||

How about white-out????? Put a dot on the 10mm and just keep on going. | |||

White-out wears off too easily, in my experience. Krylon and paint pens last longer, but still need to be reapplied. Colored baseplates last forever (until broken), but cost significantly more. | |||

Also works extremely well on black front sights...pistol or rifle for quick acquisition in relatively dim light. Rod 5th Spl Forces, Air Force Bird Dog FAC, lll Corps RVN 69-70....
