Description

The Glock 43 is a fantastic pocket pistol, but six rounds in the magazine can feel limiting. The FAB Defense FX4310B changes that with a simple floor-plate replacement that brings your capacity up to 10 rounds without requiring any special tools or permanent modifications to your magazines.

What Makes This Extension Work

The 43-10 uses an innovative dual-spring design that works alongside your original magazine spring. Instead of forcing you to buy a new, stiffer spring, the extension has its own coil springs built in that support the factory spring, letting the whole system reliably feed ten rounds. This means you're using parts you already have, which keeps things simple and lets you install it and remove it without any hassle.

Grip and Handling Improvements

One of the biggest perks is what this extension does for your grip. The Glock 43 is narrow and designed for concealment, which sometimes means your pinky hangs off the bottom. With the FX4310B installed, you get that full-length grip you'd expect from a larger gun, and the contoured finger indents on the extension itself make magazine changes easier and more secure. That extra inch or so of grip real estate makes a noticeable difference if you're used to shooting with a compromise grip.

Installation and Real-World Use

Installation takes a bit of patience but no gunsmithing. You'll need to remove the factory floor-plate from your Glock magazine, which can be tight, and then clamp the two-piece extension onto the magazine with a couple of Allen screws. Once it's on, it works. Users report reliable feeding and no malfunctions after breaking in the springs, though some mention the tenth round can be tight at first and loosens up over time or with a magazine loader. The extension is made from fiberglass-reinforced polymer, so it's durable without adding much weight. It finishes in black matte, keeping a low profile.

What to Keep in Mind

The Glock 43 uses different magazine generations, and some users report that with newer factory magazines, you might actually get a reliable nine or ten rounds instead of a full four extra. The 10th round can require firm hand pressure to chamber initially, but most users say it improves with use. Also, if you run a grip plug on your Glock, you'll need to remove it for this extension to fit properly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to buy a new magazine spring to use this extension?

No. The FX4310B is designed to work with your original Glock 43 magazine spring. It has its own dual coil springs built in that support the factory spring, so you can use any Glock 43 magazine you already own.

How hard is it to install the FX4310B?

Installation is straightforward but requires patience. You remove the factory floor-plate from your magazine, then clamp the two-piece extension onto the magazine with a couple of Allen screws. No gunsmithing is required, though removing the factory floor-plate can be tight. Most people get it done in 15 minutes once they figure out the process.

Will the 10th round always load easily?

The 10th round is typically tight when the extension is new, especially with hand-loading. Many users find it gets easier after the springs break in over the first 100 rounds or so. Using a magazine loader makes loading faster and less fatiguing. Some newer generation Glock 43 magazines may not reliably accept a full 10 rounds, in which case nine is more practical.

Can I use this extension with a grip plug on my Glock 43?

No. The extension does not fit with a grip plug installed on the frame. You'll need to remove it if you want to use the extended magazines. Some users file the magazine follower at an angle to help the 10th round seat more easily, which can improve reliability with tight loads.
