Base Pad for Elite Limited K45 mag

[SCPistolero]

Which base pad do I need to fit a K45 mag to my Elite Limited?
The factory base plates are very nice but they are quite expensive.

I'm most interested in those that fit nearly flush with the bottom of the mag well.

Would this one work?

That will work, but it will stick out a little. This one will be just a tad recessed (1/4-1/2")

I just ordered it. Thanks for the reply.

Got the base pad on the mag. It looks good and inserts into the magwell just fine.
What is the function of the little set screw on the back of the base pad?

The screw keeps the pad from getting bumped off the magazine! To hold the pad on, you back out the screw enough for it to lock the pad on. To remove the pad, you screw it in a bit.

Be careful that you don't try to back the screw out if it isn't completely outside of the mag. That will cause undue pressure on the lips that hold the base on and the base can crack. I know from experience.
