vilkus 1P 365x floor plates
Has anyone had their floor plates fail on as issued 12 rd mags?
I'm not looking for problems here, if it works, it works.
There just seems to be a ton of pressure for a plastic floor plate to contain.
I like the flush mag and have no desire to add length or capacity. I just want to avoid having a fully loaded mag blow out and dump 12 rounds on the ground.

mike56Check out Empire products.
They have a low profile. aluminum base plate for the 365 12rounders.
I put their katana mag well on my wilson frame and the stock mag needed just a little more length.
Solid parts, but pricey

pedropcolaI don’t think it has been a problem. Hell I bought magguts that added two rounds to both the 10 and 12 rounders. They use the magguts baseplate though. Respectfully I think you are looking for a problem that doesn’t exist.

Your answer was what I was hoping to hear.
There is a lot of pressure on that floor plate when the mag is fully loaded. Floorplate failure is not unheard of (in some other guns). The quality/strength of plastic has improved more than my ability to accept it.

I confess to being a metal (usually steel) frame gun guy.
Thanks for the reassurance.
