Does anyone know where to find different colored mag base plates for Glocks. I want to be able to ID 9mm from 40. Thank you.

or you could just use automotive upholstry paint on the base plates.

I have +2's on most of my .40 mags but I also put a piece of blue tape on the back of each mag. I then replaced the back plate on the slide (cant think of the name at the moment) with a blue one to match the mags.

I also put a piece of blue tape on the back of each mag.

That was my first thought. Colored electrical tape

How does small stampings in the same color as the mag make for QUICK and EASY ID of a mag?

Just with a quick glance I can tell which of my Glock mags are .40 cal and which are 9mm and what gun is my 9mm and which is .40 from a distance.

Marking mags for different calibers and different loads is very common.
