Glock 43 question

[Lee Indy]

Im switching to the 43 for an EDC and I want to run the new ETS magazines that are 7rds in a flush fit.
My question is are there any +1 mag extensions that will work on the ETS mags and give me an 8rd capacity?

Someone will have to try it out. I do know they have those flat springs that will +1 a factory mag. If you search some forums, I believe someone tested mag extensions with the + 1 extra flat springs. Just how the follower and bases are designed.

Looks like the hyve +1 will give you 8.
Video said its a really tight fit and difficult to cycle the slide. But if it functions that makes for a great 9rd carry.

Just asking out of curiosity, but why ETS mags?

My G43 factory mags with Vickers extensions have been dead nuts reliable...and cheap.

When you say flush do you mean flush like a factory magazine or lines up with the grip?

Flush fit like the oem.
The ETS flush fit is a 7rd vs the factory 6.

I want an ets with a+1 to give me the 3 finger grip . 8rds is a bonus.

An ETS rep explained on another forum that the Glock factory 6-round mag is really a 6.5 round mag in terms of its length. Because of that, the various aftermarket +1 extensions are really just adding a half a round in terms of additional length. He said that because of the way the extensions are designed, a +1 (really +0.5) extension will not allow you to add another round to an ETS mag.

That makes sense, since the Taran (sp?) +1 I have adds an indiscernible amount of length to the factory plate. Granted, the Taran +1 costs more than a 43 mag, but I've read mixed reviews of the ETS mags, so it was worth it to me. Also have the Tango/Vickers +2 on one and it's been flawless and much cheaper than Taran.
