That was the beauty of the double stack 9mm glocks, the mags would all interchange. It seems like they blew it with the single stack 9s.

Yeah, I'm missing something here...Glock resolutely refused to make a larger capacity OEM mag for the 42 and 43, and now the 9mm one won't work with the 43. Some Aryan thing.

What's everybody using for magazine carriers?
I'd usually go for Ritchie, Milt Sparks, or Raven - but I can't find anything in stock from Ritchie or Milt Sparks and RCS doesn't make anything.
Thanks!

So a few decades of reading stuff like this leads me to believe that there is something in the design of the Glock frame/trigger that sets up most - but not all - folks to pull left. Maybe not a flaw, but a design feature:). I was hoping the new slim-line frames wouldn’t do this, but it sounds like they do - at least for some. Will have to rent one and see:)

So I found out that RCS lists the Copia as working for Glock 43X/48 magazines. And after tightening the adjustment screw quite a bit, it does. Looks like a skinny calf sticking out of a pair of bell-bottomed capris a size too large, but it works.
And the adjustment screw sticks waaay out. Needs to be trimmed or a plastic cover or something.

Just picked one up. Really like it so far. I installed a G43 Overwatch Precision in it.
I wish RCS had an Eidolon for it.
I dunno, seems like someone goofed in product development. I can't figure why the 43 wouldn't have the staggered magazine and slightly wider body, maybe could've squeezed an extra round or 2 out of it. At any rate, I think a 43 with +2 extensions offers a bit more flexibility than the 48 and 43X even though it's a couple rounds short. I want to love the new hotness, I just can't personally justify the purchase. If I'm gonna print, I'll take the 19, if concealed really means concealed I'm taking the 43.
