Highest Capacity Glock 43 Magazine - Hi, I'm looking for a high capacity magazine option for extra ammo for my Glock 43. I have a few +2 expansions but I'm wondering if they make the +3 base or higher. I tried ETS 12 rd mags and they were garbage (pictures include flaw, feed lip is very weak).
When you're busy adding items that increase the size of the gun (likely to affect reliability), the stock P365 has a 10 +1. If you insist on increasing the pocket size, make 12 and 15 round mags.

But single (or nearly single) magazines for 9mm Luger cartridges are more prone to being fed because the magazine tube has a large extension (eg +3 or +4, and opposite +1) relative to the edge of the case: Small mouth diameter. (See pictures below.)
In fact, the FAB+4 is the only compensator extension that failed to feed HTS and Gold when tested on my two very reliable G43s, and it works flawlessly with all the other popular extensions I have (ie, MagGuts+1, +2, Pearce+1, TTI +1, +2) whether shooting JHPs or FMJs.
FTFeed with FAB+4 usually occurs in one or about 10% of all magazines. Some may think that a 90% FAB+4 success rate is "good enough" for them. But I can't rely on magazine spreads and I know my cartridges often fail to deliver.

The FAB Defense 4 round plate extension works great in my G 43 magazine with no problems. I bought one from LGD and although I had a few issues installing my camera once I got it, I'm very happy with the results. The mag spring operated extension of the G43 has its own spring so there are no issues with it working properly. I use it in between or as a spare mag which gives me 10 + 1 mag!
I think ETS will be hit or miss. I have two of the ETS 12 mags that have given me zero defects. My only complaint about them is that they don't hold 12 lbs. They feel weird when I get 11 rounds, but it works. So I pour in 10 continuous rounds.

I put another 100 in and had no more problems. However, this is kind of bad for me. I was planning on using this mag for the competition, but now I'm not sure.
Yes, mag extensions and spring gizmos work for some, but not all. Some people try different round nose bullets and think they are good. In fact, adequate testing will enable them to use enough real ammunition to ensure functionality.

Called ETS and they said they changed the spring geometry and length to a shorter one. Replaced and never announced recall so I have the 1st gen. If you decide to buy one, order directly from ETS.

Glock To Release 10 Round, G43x Pistol
If a carry gun is your main need you can get a Sig with 10 rounds. I don't really care about the number of rounds in my gun, as I feel like 6 magazines is fine! I'm old school and have trained and carried a S&W revolver as my duty gun for over 10 years, so I'm pretty comfortable with the G 43 as my EDC. I am very confident in my G 43 and have never carried a spare magazine, but I don't understand that 6 rounds is good for some people, so I have a 4 round extension that I bought for the G 43. It has 4 extra mags. ah and I use this round 10 + 1 when I go to the border once a week. This extension has its own spring on the base plate and works with the magazine spring G 43. So now you have 4 extended rounds that you can feel in your hand and you can shoot 11 different rounds. The manufacturer is "FAB DEFENSE" and works flawlessly on my gun and is not expensive!
I tried the extension and had a few issues and went back to OEM. I find that I prefer short mags like my pinky tubes like the one I made by hand.
I carry 1 spare for everything. I have been known to carry another one in my pocket if I go too far from home.
What if power is a priority and I want to stick with the Glock? I would buy a 43X or a 48. Adding more rounds to the standard 43 makes it too long and unreliable.
