Abstract: A firearm magazine base pad comprises a base pad body adapted to be removably secured to a lower end of a magazine body, the base pad body including a front portion, a rear portion, a pair of opposed side portions, and a lower portion. The lower portion of the base pad body, when viewed in a cross-sectional plane parallel to and medially of the opposed side portions and in a cross-sectional plane perpendicular to the opposed side portions and medially of the front and rear portions, is convex. The front portion of the base pad body, when viewed in a cross-sectional plane parallel to and medially of the opposed side portions, is concave.
