Frequently Asked Questions
Will this magazine plate work with aftermarket Glock 42 magazines?
The Strike Industries G42 E.M.P. is specifically designed and tested for use with factory Glock 42 magazines. Compatibility with aftermarket magazines varies by manufacturer and is not guaranteed. For best results and reliable feeding, use the E.M.P. with genuine Glock factory magazines.
Does installing this plate require any special tools or gunsmithing?
No gunsmithing or special tools are required. The G42 E.M.P. is a direct drop-in replacement for your factory magazine base plate. Simply disassemble your Glock 42 magazine using standard takedown procedures, swap out the factory plate for the Strike Industries E.M.P., and reassemble. The entire process takes just a few minutes.
Will the extended grip surface affect concealment or holster fit?
The Strike Industries G42 E.M.P. features a carefully contoured low-drag, no-snag profile that minimizes added bulk while still providing a meaningful improvement in grip purchase. Most standard Glock 42 holsters will accommodate the E.M.P., but fit can vary depending on holster design and material. It is recommended to test holster fit before relying on the setup for carry.
