"p.s. forgot to mention that installing the mag release is a job for when you have time and patience. There is a good deal less width in that mag well to maneuver, you will note as I did !"
HA..9 states have a 10r magazine limit..accounting for about 35% of the US population..think Gaston 'knows' the market..No need for the 43x or 48 to only hold 10 rounds from the factory -
Outside of Gaston's ego in not letting go of metal lined mags covered in polymer.
During this quarantine...I've been spending a lot of my time watching videos and reading reviews and discussions on the Glock G43X. My current EDC (a Ruger LCR357) is carried IWB in the appendix position at 1 o'clock. I've read that a lot of Glock owners prefer carrying with an empty chamber so as to avoid the potential of a negligent discharge. I'm not so sure I want to carry my defensive firearm with an empty chamber...I think I would prefer to have it ready to rock in the advent of my needing it quickly in a defensive situation. Now my LCR has no safety either, but it does have a longer trigger and stiffer trigger pull than an autoloader. Now I do practice safe gun etiquette diligently by keeping my gun always pointed in a safe direction and keeping my finger off the bang stick until I'm ready to fire, but for some reason this has me thinking about what a catastrophe it would be to have a discharge while rehosltering. So now I'm rethinking my decision on purchasing a Glock and starting to look at another pistol that I also have a great degree of admiration for...the Sig Sauer P365 with manual safety. It gives me the same capacity as the G43X (10+1) and is actually incrementally smaller for conceal carry. Most importantly it has a easily actuated safety.

What is surprising is no Glock produced after market >10r mags but I hear that's coming.

I’ve never carried a CCW pistol with an empty chamber. Never have, never will.
Well, yes, the G43x and G48 is 10r only but you know, you CAN use them in the other 41 states...OR buy a G26 and use a G19 magazine for 15+1....’handcuff’, pretty funny..copy to the revolver crowd who think 5r ‘is enough’. I guess 11R isn’t ‘enough’ for some and completely ignore the gun’s reliability, ease of use, not much $...I’d agree if the the G43x and G48 were the only guns Glock made...more rounds=more better, I guess.So it really makes more sense to handcuff the other 41 states and the other 65% of the population? Yeah that makes sense.
And i hear a Glock carbine is coming.
You can try this one. Kinda hard to find. Available only in Traumwolkenland Austria.
