WHY DO YOU NEED THIS PRODUCT?
The Canik MC9L and MC9LS are one of the hottest new slim (1-1/8" wide) carry pistols on the market. They come from the factory with (2) 17rd magazines. Many Canik owners wish to use standard 18rd Canik TP9 magazines, which fit and function in this pistol.  However this leaves an ugly gap below the grip and those with big hands might not be able to fit their hand fully on the grip for more control. This baseplate improves ergonomics and adds +2 rounds when mounted to the Canik / Mec-Gar 18rd magazines. Improve your shooting grip, accuracy, and draw time with this durable custom baseplate! 
This product is designed for the CANIK METE MC9L and METE MC9LS with an 18rd magazine. It is not guaranteed to work with any other pistol or magazine combo. Users assume all risks associated by using aftermarket parts on their pistol.
 
SPECS:
Material: Nylon 12 plastic, 3D printed
Screw: Black Oxide Stainless Steel
Color: Black
Assembly to your existing magazine tube is simple and instructions are on this website. Remove your factory baseplate and install this one using only a small Allen wrench and a Phillips screwdriver. Steel spring pins are provided to locate the two halves together. There are two mounting locations within the baseplate, use the upper one on the bottom flanges of the 18rd metal magazine body. 
 
NOTE on durability:
This is a new 3D printed product, and durability under a wide range of conditions is still pending. Some people baby their mags, and some people treat them like a hammer. I have gone through multiple design revisions to strengthen weak areas of the baseplate, and  tested these products myself by dropping loaded and unloaded magazines out of the gun repeatedly onto standard outdoor surfaces from shoulder height, with no issue. Surfaces like gravel, hard dirt, grass, sticks, your mom's basement carpet, etc. should not cause a problem with durability, function, or cracking. If you throw this magazine onto concrete or abuse it, the plastic might break but I have not tried this yet. Bottom line is try not to abuse it on concrete or boulders. Normal use cases should be fine. 
 
Nylon 12 is the cheapest available option to 3D print these parts. Additional options may be available in the future. Your input and feedback is appreciated.
