I'm actually glad someone has finally done this for the 43.
I didn't like the 43 because of the round count but now that TTI is making the +1, +2, and +3 adapters now, I might reconsider on gettin' myself one.
I kinda' wish though that the TTI basepads would fit with the grip like the Walther PPS, SA XDs, S&W Compacts and Shield, and the Ruger Compacts extensions line up with the grip.
But the TTI extended basepads give it that "badass tacticool" look so it's all good in the neighborhood.
As far as that piece of garbage 42 though, that was nothin' more than just a joke, IMHO, even if it had a +5 extended basepad.
That's a different story though for another time.
I completely agree with you, I was planning to get a G19 Gen 4 but I would love a G43 with a +3 mag extension.
