My solution: I HAVE had great experiences with the Magguts +2 for my G43. Nice to take that from 6+1 to 8+1 at the expense of basically a double thickness magazine baseplate. No reliability issues with mine or anyone I know who uses them. So I emailed Magguts and told them I am begging them to do their "treatment" to the G43x/48 magazine to get it up to 12 or 13 rounds. If reliability is solid, I'd be all over it, especially since they use the standard magazine body and therefore don't need the metal mag release.
I urge all fellow PFers to email Magguts and do the same as I did. Perhaps if they see demand, it will expedite things.
I should add that they emailed me back to tell me that they'll look into it and that they'll keep me posted, which was more return comms than I expected!
