You got a lot going on there oldman10mm! I can see you are a fan of the DOA 3rd gens. Don't get all those bits mixed up! I'd be afraid to have that many guns apart, on the same table, at the same time

I have a Marlin camp 9 that takes 59 series S&W magazines. I am always at Kittery trading Post searching for magazines and parts. Those S&W mags and parts are drying up!
You can use 3rd Gen 59xx mags in the Marlin also...................look at Mec-gar for IIRC new 15,18 and 20 rd 59xx mags
Sorry you are in Mass..... they may have 10rd magazines also.

I'm always looking for the OEM 10 rounders, they are hard to find .
10+ rounders must be pre ban 9/1994

Mec-gar does have the 5900 10 rd magazines......Mec-gar is as good as it gets in magazines IMO...... $31.10
Metal Kahr base plate assembly for 3913/CS9 mags
They are.
I put them on a couple of my CS-9 mags as I carry it IWB often. The lower profile butt plate is nice.
To cover the exposed metal between the base plate & the bottom of the frame (as seen in post #4's picture) I added an o-ring that fits unobtrusively there.

Looks great Blue Dot.
I never thought to do O-rings. Thanks for the tip.

Your CS9 is looking good BLUEDOT! Very innovative to use the o-ring with the Kahr base plate. Glad to see that the o-ring did not interfere with the grips at all, as it seems to stay within the width of the gun frame all around.
I don't use the Kahr base plates, but put one on a CS9 mag when making these grips for BLUEDOT, and dang, it is hard to get back off!! I think I'll have to put the mag in a vise and tap it off with a punch. Maybe a little kroil first...
I have a few of these 7-round 3913LS mags, and when I put a new recoil spring in (regular 39xx spring) I was also able to fit 8 rounds in the mag. Unfortunately, I was not able to get the mag with 8 rounds to fully seat in a 3913, so I still just load 7 rounds in them.

Can anyone suggest a source for these Kahr mag bases?
I ordered mine direct from KAHR off of their website.

They don't appear to be available anymore?
Why do you think that? The links take you to Kahr & you can add them to your cart & checkout?

The link does in fact take me to the Kahr website and more specifically to the actual mag base plate. When I attempt to add it to my cart a pop up shows and says something about an error.

Using a Windoz computer, I was able to order both the base plate (2) and magazine base locks. But, their website has issues so my C/C was declined. I called them (US, English-speaker) and they're in-stock but it's either C/C or money order to pay for them. Since I have a Kahr 9, I pulled a base plate and lock, and checked. The baseplate leaves a tiny but noticeable gap where it's not quite long enough - maybe 1mm. This post (Thanks!) has now solved my dilemma of making 3906 mags lock in easily on my 39's. Most recent 39 only came with one mag, although it was/is a correct steel-follower mag. Model 39 looks pretty good with a 3906 mag although it is a little long. Hope to post a pic or two soon ...

That pop-up is kind of unusually done but it worked for me. Maybe it's just your browser not allowing the pop-up?
Guess you can call like GeoJelly did if all else fails?
.
That's why I used the o-rings on my CS9 mags with the Kahr base plates. Did you try them too?
Which model's mags are you doing it to?
