some glue on. They are simple to add. Even WB can do it. They had a reason for being as back in the mid 70s and all thru the years since many of the combat matches were held on concrete. The pad kept the magazine from getting damaged when dropped, plus the weight of the pad on the magazine helped it to drop out quicker during a match where the shooter is running from one position to another. Many of the match handguns had a magazine well attached to the bottom of the gripframe which was wider than normal and helped on a fast reload to get the new magazine in the gun, but they often stuck down close to 1/4 of an inch and the pad helped to seat the new magazine. So they weren't solely for looks but had several advantages.
