Taran Tactical +2 Base Pad (Glock 43)

The Taran Tactical +2 base pad is the range and competition answer to the Pearce +1. It replaces the factory Glock 43 floorplate with a one-piece body CNC machined from billet aluminum and hard anodized, extending magazine capacity from 6 rounds to 8 rounds. The extended floorplate gives the support hand a positive surface for speed reloads and adds the grip length the flush mag lacks.

Taran Tactical pioneered the extended base pad concept in USPSA and 3-Gun competition, and their Glock 43 variant carries the same quality: precision CNC machining, a patented push-pin design that installs and strips with no tools, and a 10% stronger spring matched to the longer stroke.

The tradeoff is length. At 8+1 capacity, the TTI +2 adds noticeably more grip than the Pearce +1 and is harder to conceal in deep IWB, pocket, or ankle carry. Most G43 shooters who care about capacity run a Pearce +1 on the carry mag and TTI +2 on spare mags carried in a belt pouch. For range use, the Taran is the clear pick.
