I use Pearce plus 1 bases. They match the factory grip texture perfectly and add the needed extension for the full grip. I've also tried Hyve plus 2 and an off brand aluminum plus 1 base. I didn't really like them. I kept the Hyves on two mags I put them on, that just sit in the car as backups. I carry with the Pearce.

I have worn many holsters till I found an outside the waist holster I use currently. I've used aegis armory shield, which is comfy, but bulky. Bravo torsion, was my go to for a while. Now I'm completely satisfied with my outside the waist Winthrop leather holster, been wearing it for almost a year now.

Appendix carry that thing. Uncomfortable at first but after a couple of weeks you'll forget it's there and no printing.

I use magguts to add a 1 round. My spare mag is a taran tactical plus 2. I didn't want to add weight or any length to the grip. I have a taran plus 1 and it's almost the same as factory length but weighs more.

I have a couple of these and would definately purchase again

I also added the Magguts springs and followers with Pierce finger extension plates. 1 more round, same size.

 

[Member 34319]

Never heard of magguts.

@Portaledgepete it says on their website they don't recommend using with round adding base plates. Have any issues on yours with the Pearce? So your getting 8 rounds correct? Plus one from the Pearce and one from the magguts spring and follower?

My Magguts +1 in the pistol has been flawless. I also use the Vickers +2 extensions which have ran perfect as well, cheap too.

 

[Portaledgepete]

No problems. Only had about 150 rnds through each mag though

 

[Portaledgepete]

My base plate does not ad an extra round, only the spring does. 7 round cap.

 

[mrblond]

reading some mixed stuff on the magguts. I might just keep the mags stock.

I get the feeling half of the guys that have reported unreliability with Magguts have the springs in backwards. But stock glock mags are sbput bulletproof so can't fault you there.

The G43 is on my next pistol list.

 

[mrblond]

I used Pearce on my G27 and they seemed to work well. From what I was reading on the magguts it fed well with ball but would choke on HPs and would fail to lock the slide back on the last round.

 

[Portaledgepete]

Not from my experiences thus far

I use Suarez +1 and +2 mags. I carried my little S&W 9mm Shield for years then bought my Glock 43 and had them both for several months before choosing the Glock 43.

The Glock 43 is small enough that I most often carry it in my front pocket with this holster, BORAII Eagle Pocket Holster for GLOCK 43
GLOCK 43

I've found that I very seldom leave my pistol behind any more, even on short, quick trips to the store, because it's so easy to just dump it in my pocket. I did have to find another pocket for my cell phone though.

I have used magguts on more than one application with ZERO issues.

I might buy one and give it a try.

Spring orientation is key. Easy to install, takes about a minute tops.

I use the Pierce +1 extension kits so I roll with 7+1 and the BORAII everyday. The Pierce extensions look OEM integral with the grip, and I also use them in my G30.3
