I have a k9 and would love to know if I have any options for aftermarket base plates. I like flush metal base plates. I’ve ordered a bunch from Lakeline and the 3D printing company they use. They all suck in my opinion. Any other options?

Have you tried the metal base plate Kahr offers?Quote:

I did look on the website but they all looked blued. Thanks maybe I’ll give the site another look.Quote:

I added those to my K9 shortly after I got it. To solve the "flush fit" issue, I simply added a 1/16" thick O-ring around the mag, which fills in the slight gap and still easily allows the mag to snap in correctly. I got ones (overall diameter) which were a little tight to start around the top of the mag, but that ensures they don't slip around any. They work well for me.Quote:

how much are steel bases
$15.00 per set of the base and lock plate (ouch, pricey!) from Kahr's website, see This Link (click here) plus any shipping charges.Quote:

I'd guess those shown in your link have the stainless finish. I believe the lighting in the photo makes them appear black. Here's a slightly adjusted copy of their image (and one of their black adjusted to about the same level):Quote:

Are there any metal versions of the factory "lip" base plates? The factory standard base plates are dimensionally perfect to give me a full grip, but obviously they are plastic. The entire appeal of the K9 (IMHO) is that its a high quality STEEL striker-fired pistol...but the cheap plastic mag followers and base plates betray that quality. I've been using Lakeline aluminum followers without issue. I just wish there was a steel or aluminum copy of the factory plastic mag base plates.
Couldn’t agree more.Quote:
