They’re terrible at answering emails. I hit them up about a 43 extension and haven’t heard anything yet. Wanted to buy a 17 slide from them and someone was going to look for one and that was the last I heard of it. I’m not believing the 15 round magazine will happen.

I’d definitely rather they take their time. People are going to want to carry these, and they won’t carry (or buy) them if they’re not reliable. The bar is high though given the quality of OEM Glock mags. Anyway, I hope they’ll take their time. Maybe that’ll give Glock enough time to accidentally release a factory black 43X.

I have to think there are other companies also working on this feverishly behind the scenes. First one to market is going clean up. Once one is released, we’ll probably see several more in quick succession as they scramble to get a piece of the gold rush.

I just test fit a CZ 75 mag and looked without measuring and it appears that a simple opening of the mag lock slot would do it. I will do a little testing.

I guess changing the mag catch is cheaper than the mag but then no Glock mags fit.

If mec gar tooled to make these, I am sure it would fit the glock vs the other way. I think a metal mag catch would be necessary.

I don’t have any compact mags and they seem oos everywhere (also $40). The mag catch may be first.

The CZ75 compact mag will fit and I have one that I already notched. The downside is that it isn't a flush fit and would require a spacer. Now that the weather is warmer, i might consider finishing it, or just wait for a large company to do it.
