do a light grind or sanding on the floorplate down to bare metal, then glue, some sanding on the base pad would help also

i used a dremel tool and a moderate rough stone to grind away the paint on the mag, and the old glue on the pad, glued it with cheapy super glue and its on there real good.

You are glueing both pieces and waiting a few minutes for them to get tacky, right? Then you put them together. It should stay on forever. I just used a contact cement at the Home Depot...didn't even check the brand. Works great.

Yeah I am waiting for them to get tacky, I am getting better results now. I have two out of three that are holding after dropping on the ground hundreds of times, I will keep trying on the other one, until it holds.

Barge cement, an industrial contact cement, works well but is hard to find. Brownell's recommends Black Loctite which replaced the Barge cement in their catalog. I've used the Black Loctite with great results but i would assume the 3M trim adhesive is simialr.

Wilson Combat recommends Barge cement, but I haven't been able to find it yet.

I got mine at The Leather Factory- I've glued most of my Wilson Glue-on pads with it, and they ain't about to come off.
