This may be all redundant now that NDZ has their mag base plates available but I started this project before their announcement. I wanted to fill the hole in the base of the frame and add a pinky extension to the mag for my small hands. The parts are made out some scraps of 1/2" thick rigid plastic that I already had on hand. They are "machined" using Dremel rotary cutters and a drill press used as a makeshift milling machine. Lots of measuring and the whole process is a little tedious but it was a rainy afternoon and I had time on my hands. Final shaping was done with a Dremel drum sander. It took me about an hour for the base and 20 min for the plug. I finished them with Krylon satin black intentionally orange peeled to match the texture of the S&W frame. The plug is secured in the frame using a dab of black RTV. The first pic is the plug before installing.
