This guide addresses a common issue with the Glock 43X MOS when mounting the Holosun EPS Carry optic. The primary problem identified is the right-side optic mounting screw being too long, causing it to interfere with the extractor and lead to failure-to-extract malfunctions. The solution involves using shorter screws on the right side to prevent this contact and ensure reliable firearm operation.

This video from Geauga Firearms Academy introduces and demonstrates a technique for clearing a 'Type 4' pistol malfunction, characterized by the extractor getting hung up on brass stuck in the chamber, preventing the slide from moving freely. The instructor emphasizes that brute force is ineffective and a quick, sharp 'chop' to the grip is the solution. This technique is presented as a reliable method for freeing jammed slides when traditional clearing methods fail.

This review of the Girsan MC1911S .45 ACP by Buckeye Ballistics highlights its budget-friendly nature and features like a tactical rail and ambidextrous safety. An experienced reviewer notes a failure-to-feed issue attributed to the extractor and a consistent low point of impact. The analysis suggests the pistol requires a break-in period and potential sight adjustment for optimal performance.
