Quick question about MecGar plus two (or 3) base pads.

I'm embarassed to ask but how the heck do you get them off? To save some face, I bought a few mags with them pre installed so I didn't put them on. Thanks, Brian

Elbow grease. Word has it that they fit tightly, so you may have to put a little extra effort in it. Maybe try putting it against something and pushing against it while you pushing in on the floor plate.

I had the same issue earlier this week, except I was installing them.. They're very different than traditional base pads.. There's a small metal plate that's above the base pad, which you can see at the back of the base pad.. Lift up on the metal plate and push the base pad right off, it's actually quite easy once you figure out how they work.. I guess they made them that way so they'll fit several different types of magazines.. I know they'll fit CZ 75's, Sig 226's, Beretta 92's, and also supposedly they fit M&P's, but they're not made for them

Oops, didn't see this post lol! Well, there's instructions up there incase someone else has the same issue, which if they've never used them before I'm sure they will!
