Maybe this is a stupid question...but is there any way to "mill" or cut a rail slot onto the frame? Or is there even room to mouth a light?  Im thinking it would be really nice to throw a XC1 on...

Pretty sure there wouldn't be enough room, and it's likely too skinny anyway.

Put a TLR-6 on it if you need a light.  Mine works great for the intended purpose.

Heard a rumor that Boresight solutions has done them on gen 2s, might give them a call

Not enough material, and the XC1 would be wider than the pistol.

TLR-6 is what you seek.

Streamlight TLR-6 will get you a light. Even if you could get a rail on there it'd be too short for any existing light.
Better off getting a Glock 19 if you need an actual rail.

Primary Arms has them on sale for 88 bucks.  I really like mine it is perfect size, brightness, and works really well.  The added weight makes the G43 easy to shoot fast as well.

I've seen the light, and saw the sale this morning actually, but wasnt sure how it would attach to the G43.  Thanks for the pic, but can you explain how it attaches?

The light/laser module fits into a two-piece plastic housing designed for specific firearms. It uses 3 hex head screws to hold the pieces of the housing together and locks around the trigger guard. See the installation instructions here.

You can buy either a complete kit (which is what Primary Arms has on sale) which has one light laser module and multiple housings for different pistols, or as a single kit which has one housing and the module.

ETA: Not mentioned earlier, but you have the option to have light only, laser only, or both with a single click of the buttons on either side. You can toggle between options by pressing both buttons at the same time.

Yup well said .... it takes getting used to the switch activating it but once you train a bit with it you will learn the momentary and on feature.

Cheapest price I have seen the kits . I ordered 2. Just wish they came with the 1911 module. Will have to see about ordering one from Streamlight directly.

Might be able to mod one of the frames.....  One might be just close enough with a few tweaks it would work.
