Local shop has this for $599.99.
G43X with Shadow Systems War Poet barrel and compensator (per the tag). I'm not looking to buy it, just thought it was interesting to see. Attached File |

It was there last week but I did not pay attention if it was still there when I was there earlier this week. I'll probably swing by in the morning and I will update this if you're interested if they have it. |

View Quote Looking again, that is what I posted. It's the SS barrel and comp plus the tag has that written on it as well. I'm stopping by in a few minutes, I'll see if it's still there, just for giggles. Edit It's gone. |

I look at my 43X a few times a week, it is bone stock, down to the sights, and I keep saying this is an ideal pistol to upgrade and customize. This discussion has me thinking again

Update for anyone interested.
I figured I would try an Aimsurplus JTT barrel for my 43X. Read lots of reviews about them for the 19 model that were overwhelmingly favorable. I'm quite impressed. It's a noticeable difference in muzzle flip. I put 250 rounds through it yesterday. On my 3rd round, I had no ignition. Since it was a new barrel, I did not clear the malfunction as I wanted to see if the gun was out of battery, etc. Gun was in battery, and there was a clear primer strike on the round. 115gr S&B for reference. I loaded the round in the next mag and it fired. After that, the barrel ran flawless. I shot 147gr HST, 124gr +p HST, Winchester active duty, and 115gr S&B. This thing is a huge win for $60. Reduces flip noticeably without making the gun any longer. |

I've been considering a PMM barrel and comp for my 43x. But I kinda want to shoot a 43x comped before I spend the money with whoever.

I have one for 43x and 19 that have not impressed me accuracy wise. 43 is ok, about 6" at 25yds, most in 5" or less but throws a couple shots per mag opening up over 6". 19 is lucky to hit a 9x20" plate 50% at 25yds. |

Then the sharp angle at the top of the feed ramp and horizontal tool marks caused fail to feeds. Smoothed and polished that out and the feed ramp which helped but after 6-700rds of it not making it past 50-60rds without a malfunction of some sort and errant shots I'm calling it. Bought a second to try and it looks to be just as inaccurate. 19 is lucky to hit a 9x20" plate 50% Of the time at 25yds. This one was 100% reliable. Both work great at taking a little snap off the muzzle flip. This is why I wanted them to work. Crown in all 3 looks like crap. Very rough and uneven. |
