Extension baseplate
« on: May 02, 2014, 09:37:17 PM »
Googled and found a link here for using the 75B baseplate as a replacement, but was wondering if anyone knew of a baseplate that increases capacity.  12 rounds is great and all, but the 83 will be replacing my Bersa Thunder 380 Plus as a BUG, and I'd like to have a way to continue carrying 15 rounds.

I believe the capacity stays the same, it is just a bigger baseplate.

Mysteriously,  my CZ83 mags have suddenly started taking 13 rounds of 380. I wonder if the springs are getting weak. No bad behaviour that I can tell (yet)

Strange. For the first sixteen years of its life I could only get 12 in the mag. Perhaps the springs just started out too stiff

Yeah, I was able to get 13 in there today with a magloader.  Rounds rattled a bit, but no malfunctions.
