Any plans for Glock to offer Factory, +1-2 mags for G43? As soon as they do, my new Shield's turning into one!

I have been using the Pearce +1 ones and have 2 Tango Vickers +2 ones on order.

I do not foresee Glock jumping on that since the aftermarket is already flooded with good reliable ones.

I have an aftermarket +2 on 1 of mine . I think at this point Glock is late to the party but I would love to have a factory part.

I called Glock about offering the Factory G43 extensions for sale.  I was told maybe in the future but no plans right now, you have to buy the entire mag.  I think they are still behind a little.

Just get a 43 and use any one of the aftermarket extensions.  

I have the pearce +1, Vickers +2, Taran +3.  Have yet to put some rounds through the TT but if it is like the rest i wouldn't worry about it.

I dumped he shield for the 43 and I am happy with my choice.

I am pretty happy with the Pearce +1 Extensions.  I have them on all my G43 Mag's,

and also have a couple of MagGut's +1 Spring & Follower Kit's on order, to Test with the Pearce.

Hopefully I'll get to have 8rd Mag's that work consistently, that's the same size as the standard 6rd 43 mag with pinky rest.

I've been running a variety of setups ranging from factory to factory w/ Magguts and Pearce +1 or Ghost +2.  My preference these days is for factory with Magguts, but I am holding off on purchasing additional mags until the ETS mags are out.  Will probably be as or more reliable than cobbled mags, and will likely cost a fraction of factory plus aftermarket followers and aftermarket baseplates.

They were holding off until SHOT to announce, but they've posted more details in the industry section starting with 6-,9-, and 12-round G43 mags:

The Hyve +1 extensions seem pretty nice.

I have Taran +1 and Hyve +1. Both work great.

Taran +1 is a lot smaller but if you have thicker fingers and want a full grip, go with the Hyve or Taran +2.
