I bought the Shiv, have a G43X with SilencerCo threaded barrel and the threads terminate too close to the pistol frame for the Shiv to work. The Shiv, when tightened, would interfere with the guide rod during cycling so the fix is to use a jam nut for 1/2x28 and I bought these, worked perfectly, now it is on tight, no issues to report. You could try to purchase a .25" thread spacer but they are really pricey compared to a jam nut and OOS everywhere I looked. The Shiv has a perfectly level surface where it meets the jam nut so I do not need to worry about baffle strikes.

1/2"-28 Thread Jam Nuts Steel for 223 (Steel - 6pc)

Thank you OP for this info. The Shiv is on my short list for that gun.

FYI, your link is not working for some reason.

@SpankMonkey I fixed the link this time it appears to still work after the first one disappeared.

We ran into the same issue when testing a FOR pluto 9 on a gen 5 19, 19x, 17, and 45. The rear of the can contacts the front of the guide rod.

I thought about trying other barrel manufacturer's offerings but after researching it seems they will all have this problem with the Shiv because of how the interface is designed (I guess?). I do not have another can this short to compare it with but other forums mentioned that being the little issue. So I will take the jam nut for this can only. Now to find an EDC cross body style bag to fit it.

Good Info. I'm using the Shiv on my Flux, so no issues there. I do use an ECCO Machine Canine II with an Eze=Lok hub adapter so that gives a little more stand off for the smaller (P365X) handgun. My G43 has a threaded barrel (for use with the Shiv), but I haven't even tried it yet...

Some options I've been trying out (Kelty CCW Bag, North Face Borealis, PacSafe, Viktos Upscale, and Savior Equip Obscura sling bags):

@ROCK6 Thank you I was really interested in the Kelty but cannot locate one so far Found One! I have been following your other threads with the bag discussions. The 945 Industries bags look interesting but I spoke with their guy and he said the diagonal dimensions will not fit the G43X with a Shiv attached (10.0" exactly" by the way).
