extended base pad for a 8 round 1911 mag

Does anyone other then Wilson Combat (Out of Stock) make extended base pads for 1911 mags.

 

I just got a Sig 1911 c3 which comes with 7 round mags. I would like to use 8 round mag's but without the extended base pad the gun looks stupid when I put the 8 round mag in it.

Not quite sure I follow you,

 

 perhaps you are after a mag well to hide the bit of 8 round mag sticking out ?

or looking to pad the 7 rounder to match the look of the 8 rounders ?

not sure which effect you are going for but if you go with the mag well you would need to base pad the 7 rounders

 

if I were to carry that setup I would go with the 7 rounder in the gun for concealment and 8's for reloads using the length of the mags as  a sort of base pad to ensure the positive seating because if I had to go for a reload I wouldn't care much for how it looks just make sure you can't over seat while in slide lock or it will get really bad really fast  one could add a small stop to the 8 rounders like Wilson does with his 10 rounders to prevent that

 

 at least that's how I carried my old SS Colt Officers Model back in the early 90's stock with small plastic Wilson mag well and full-sized mags as reloads

 

nowadays it is a Glock 23 with spares being 22 mags

John,

 

Just to hide the little bite of metal sticking out on the 8 round magazine. This way I can have all 8 round magazines and just hide the metal when I am using the compact.

 

What I am looking for is something like Ruger has for its sr9c. You can use the full size I think 17 round magazine in the compact and there is a sleeve that fits onto the magazine to hide the exposed metal of the larger magazine
