While advertised as +4, the Tyrant Designs extensions are most reliable with 3 additional rounds, bringing the total capacity to 13 rounds. Adding a fourth round can lead to spring malfunctions, compromising EDC reliability.

The Vickers Tactical slide stop offers increased depth and texture compared to the stock version. This provides a better surface for the thumb, making slide lockback and release easier and more reliable.

When using Talon Grips with the Empire Katana magwell on a Glock 43X, you must slightly trim the grip material. This ensures that magazines can drop freely without obstruction from the grip tape.
