Ordered me one this morning, along with the mag release! The extra rounds means it might get Back into the carry rotation. Only after a few trips to the range.

With the extended mag length you are better off with the taran tac extensions...and cheaper.

It's supposed to not extend out of the mag well further than the stock mag with the factory pinky extension.

I would have purchased even if it were only 8 round flush fit mag as well but with the extended mag length it is just about as long as the G43x. For appendix carry that will not work.

I bought the Sig P365 just this year but I can not stand it. To me the grip angle and high bore axis isn't for me at all. I will just keep my G43 with the magguts +1 spring kit. 7+1 with the flat base isn't too bad for capacity wise. I have shot hundreds of rounds with the maggut spring kit and it has never failed.

I agree that the 43x would be better for appendix carry. If I didn't need ankle and pocket carry from time to time, that's the route I would go. I can get decent groups with a p365, but it just feels weird after carrying and shooting a G43 for so long.

This is how messed up my mind is…I have these but I always come back to my G43.

Mostly failure to feed and the like. YouTube has plenty of videos on em from various peeps. I know for some they have been flawless so….take it for what it is. As for me, I feel much more confident in OEM mags.
