I just bought a 226, and love it, but really don't like the flat metal floorplate on the included 15 round magazines. My hands are large, and my last finger rests on the edge of the floorplate which isn't comfortable.
I dug through the dealer's box, and found several different floorplates, but no 9mm ones with the floorplate I want.
a) The flat metal ones.
b) the bumper ones, that have a "stairstep" profile
c) some that are squared off plastic but don't actually meet the grips fairly
d) one single mag that looks like the ones I'd seen on another dealer's sample gun, with an angled base and non-stairstepped front that blends well with the base of the grip, but this was a .357/.40 mag and I need 9mm. No joy on the "can I swap floorplates" idea, sadly.
Can anyone tell me how to go about ordering the floorplates, or mags with the floorplates? For range use I'd even be happy with 10 rounds mags with the nicer floorplates.
An example of what I'd like to find:
I like that one ^^^
What I don't like:
I don't like that one ^^^
I also don't like the "padded floorplate" with the stairstepped front edge.
Any guidance is great.
