This is a little lengthy but I think this review is worth the read. I was on fence about purchasing a g43 or G43x for some time as my EDC. Going back and forth between capacity and deep concealability. This product was the deciding factor. This baseplate is smallest I could find for two rounds. It still provides enough real estate for the pinky to rest comfortably (if you don’t have big bear paws) without hindering concealability. This product gives me the option to appendix carry without worrying if I’m printing. And, the two extra rounds puts the g43 back into relative competition with the g43x without the excessive frame size. So it does exactly what it’s advertised. Now, the two negatives… do not overlook the installation instructions. There is trimming to the magazine to be done. If you overlook this step, you’ll be scratching your head wondering why it only fits 7 rounds. Follow instructions. It will fit 8 rounds, comfortably. Second, it’s the price. At more than the cost of a stock mag, it’s a little pricey. Also considering you’re replacing almost all of the mag with the kit it’s kinda acceptable. But apparently it doesn’t matter that much because I’m ordering another for my backup mag. But, for a good quality product that does exactly what is advertised, I guess you gotta pay to play. Now… most important, reliability. I’ve put about 700 rounds through the gun. I’ve used FMJ, HP, synthetic coated, 115gr, 124gr 147gr and 150gr rounds through the modified mag and a stock mag also mixed, assorted and alike to get a picture if there is gonna be any feeding issues. I have had 0 malfunctions with all the different types of ammo and the slide locks to the rear on empty every time this far. When I get the second one, I’ll run the same test, hopefully it runs as flawlessly as the first one. So far, it’s a great product and I’m willing to carry it for my EDC and trust my life with it. I hope this helps anyone looking and trying to decide if it’s worth the money. I do believe it is. Just my opinion.
