Forward Controls Design MFP-G Glock Magazine Floor Plate

MFP-G (Magazine Floor Plate, Glock) is a replacement floor plate/base plate for Glock 9mm and .40 cal double-column magazines.  Machined from solid 6061 aluminum and hard-coat Type III anodized, it is available in either standard or flared versions.

MFP, G was designed and made for duty and defense applications.  Its lines and shape are dictated by the functions it was intended to perform; its looks are subtle and modest, but for the flutes on the sides and a tastefully small and hard-to-find Cygnus logo engraved on the bottom, it’s difficult to tell it apart from a factory Glock magazine floor plate.  There will be no red, white, or blue anodized variants of MFP-G.

Most Glocks have a semi-circular cutout at the rear of the grip to allow users to manually strip the magazine from the grip/magazine well if it fails to drop free.  G17M and G19M also feature a semi-circular cutout in front of the grip base.   MFP-G improves on this built-in Glock feature by adding a front lip and a reverse angle that are missing on factory Glock magazine floor plates. The simple, subtle change provides the user with ample surface area and positive grasping space to manually strip/pull the magazine away from the weapon using the front and back of the magazine.

Should the user choose to grasp and pull the magazine from the sides, MFP-G also features two long, wide flutes along the sides, which are essentially coarse serrations.  There’s no right or wrong way to strip and pull the magazine; MFP-G provides the user with the means to do so by accessing the magazine’s front and rear, or its left and right sides.

Two options are available: standard and flared.  MFP-G, Standard has a front lip that does not protrude beyond the front of the magazine well. In contrast, MFP-G Flared has a front lip, or ducktail, that slightly extends forward of the magazine well, comfortably enclosing and confining the shooter’s hand where it belongs, on the grip, and offering better weapon retention as a result.  Both versions are compatible with duty magazine pouches, as they are only slightly thicker than OEM Glock magazine floor plates.

MFP-G also makes stripping the magazine from a pouch easier by providing functional, much-improved, and intuitive grasping surfaces that are lacking on factory magazines’ floor plates.  MFP-G was designed for LE magazine pouch compatibility; its compact size also works well with MOLLE magazine pouches.

NOTE:

* Do not use MFP-G with an add-on mag well. An add-on mag well masks usable surface area in front and on the sides.  If you have an aftermarket mag well (IF it’s compatible), it will diminish the functionality and usefulness of MFP-G.

* Compatible with Glock factory 9mm and .40 cal pistols that use double-column magazines, but is NOT compatible with G19X and G26 with the closed mag well front.

* Remove any mag well plug/tool from the magazine well. The presence of any object that covers the semicircular cutout on the back of the grip hinders the user’s ability to strip the magazine from the front and back of the magazine floor plate.
