I modified the mag plates on my mags for my C-100.
« on: March 28, 2014, 11:34:44 PM »
I have a C-100 that I will carry for CCW.  I?m a big guy and my pinky finger sits in the middle of the protruding mag plate.  It?s very uncomfortable to shoot.  So I decided to modify them to sit flush with the bottom of the frame.  The three mags used are the flat base Mecgar 14 round mags.

Here?s what I did:

1.   Trace the bottom of the frame up against the mag plate with a silver colored marker.
2.   Grinded down the mag plate a little at a time on a grinding wheel.
3.   Cleanup the edges of the mag plate with a stone.
4.   Blast the plates with aluminum oxide (sand blast).
5.   Parkerized the base plates.  I?m set up to refinish guns in my garage.  I have the ability to parkerize guns as well as Gunkote (spray on baked finish) guns.  I could have refinished the entire magazine(s) with parkerizing and the Gunkote them black, but I just didn?t feel like it.  I think the parking of the base plates is good enough for now.  Granted, it does not match up with the blued mag body, but I don?t care.  The next time I park and Gunkote a gun I may do the mags at the same time.

The flush fit mags fell much better and I?m sure they will be a joy to shoot.

Thanks, Paul

Thanks for your comments.  It was actually pretty easy.  It took me about an hour to do the three mag plates from start to finish.
