[QUOTE="sh00ter, post: 3830273, member: 24531"] You are probably correct to use the 10rd factory mags. Once I remove the Shield mags as a decision point, for me, the handle length became the biggest issue (even over width). Even before the 43x was released, I got a 43 because I liked the shorter handle for carry. I was searching for a reason I needed the 43x, but the only two initial reasons for me were the Shield mags and just getting to collect another option to choose from. Having a 19 or 17 mag as a backup for the 26 is very convenient. If I never owned a 26, then it is entirely possible I would have gotten the 43x first and then later contemplated the 26 (especially if I had any issues with the Shield mags as some have reported)...It's just how my mind works I guess. There are a LOT of people in my research that seem to own both guns. Also, of those who own a 43x (regardless of other guns owned) seems like 90% say the main reason for the choosing 43x was the Shield mags. Finally, of those who did not want to use the Shield mags, a lot of those comments favored the regular 43 with some option of a longer mag for when they choose to use it. You easily can make a 43 or 26 handle longer, but you can't make a 43x shorter. [/QUOTE]
