    I'm surprised Glock hasn't introduced higher cap mags for the 43. There's clearly a good market for these things.
    Don’t blame me. I didn’t vote for that dumb bastard.

    I have one of the 9 rounders coming for the 43 to try out, I'm sure it will function just fine, I just hope its easy to load.
    I've seen jits purple belts that were easier to pin down than the 7th round in the two flush-fit 43 mags I just got. I managed to cram the 7th round in one of them, but gassed out trying to get 7 in the second. Frankly, I don't see that top round in the first mag chambering in a topped-off 43, but i'll find out for sure at the next range outing.

    Clearly, midway tried the 7-rounder and came to the same conclusion that I did...

    They're not yet happy with the reliability of the prototypes

    Weird. 7 -10 round single stack mags have been around for a while.

    The 43 mags don't truly "single stack". They still stagger, just not completely side by side.

    Got my 9 and 12 rnd mags in.

    The 9 seems to give it a 19 length grip whole the 12 is like putting a production 22rnd mag into a 19.

    They load fine. I'll be hitting the range soon and checking them.

    Also ordered one of those tritium follower couple things. Interesting idea.

    I shall point that out to them next time I'm there


    But yes they're not exactly single stack. And those mags were in different guns.

    As I recall the 10 round 239 mags weren't great either and those were single stack in a bigger gun

    Yeah and Glock's own 10 round G19 mags are still consistently reliable.

    Hmmm . . . this is definitely a thread I'll follow. Makes the 43 more interesting with the higher capacity. Except for the need to have small girly hands
