I have done some research on the 43x COA that are showing on several of my distributor’s websites. Looks like the ones that are actually in stock and allocated are the Austrian made ones that have a P in the model number, ie Pxxxxx, the US made Glocks are Uxxxxx. The US made ones will have a 15rd mag, the Austrian ones are shipping with a 10rd mag for the moment. Some distributors are showing the US model on the website but actually haven’t seen any yet. I haven’t seen any difference in quality between the two, but some people have asked specifically for the Austrian models in the past. I was luckily enough to get a 43x COA today from my distributor, should be here on Wednesday 😁👍. I personally would take an Austrian 43x COA now with proven 10 rd magazines, instead of waiting for the 15 rd model mid April, plus by then the word will be out and they will most likely be sold out or on back order. |

I believe that this is the magazine designator in the Glock system. Other than that all the other stuff should be the same. But as we know the only constant is change. https://glockcollector.info/2019/01/11/product-number-breakdown/ |

Been looking at what it would take to get a G43X running with a ramjet, they seem to only like higher pressure ammunition. Looking around, I was able to find a bunch of coa models, full size and slim, but only one G48 coa. Were those actually discontinued? Holy shit though, these assholes are fucking high. $1500+ for a stock glock with a coa, when the blue label price was what, $800? There’s one on the EE for $2000. Aimpoint royally fucked the launch of these things. |

I hope this is true. I was hoping to see a 15 rd mag during SHOT show, which came and went. I have not been 100% thrilled with my Shield X due to the fact it does not seem to work with 147gr HST and a few other Hollow point rds. I bought it because of the 13+ 1 as I did not want to take a chance on the Shield Arms 15 rd. metal mags. I'll sit on the side lines and wait to see how this fleshes out. if it becomes real and has Glock reliability, I will be selling the Shield X and getting a Glock. |

Been looking at what it would take to get a G43X running with a ramjet, they seem to only like higher pressure ammunition. Last week along with some additonal 15rd mags I ordered a Ramjet to try.  Curious how thatll affect the reliability of my gun with the 15rd Shield mags since its otherwise good to go with them. Ill have to do a good bit of testing before I trust the full setup for EDC For awhile I was debating adding another 43x to go with the Ramjet combo and leave my tried and true setup alone but didnt want to deal with testing the Shield mags in it, these factory 15rd magazines are making this an attractive option though... |

Think I remember hearing about some issues with the MecGar glock mags. |

It wont recoil as soft as a 19 but it is an improvement. Its almost as expensive as the pistol itself though. Worth it? I dunno. Tough to say. But the 43x with ramjet and afterburner is my off duty to complement my g19. |

it was leaked by a glock rep somewhere else. mecgar body, glock spring and follower. it's also been beta tested in some LE circles. i don't know why all the hate against mecgar. i have been using their glock 17/19 mags since release with no issues in glock 17/19/45 and switched glocks and pccs. |
