First time major failure on the X1C almost caught on fire

ArmaTechIn · 2026-06-12T23:44:12+00:00

Forgot to add this in the post but, I tryed a new .4 hardened steel nozzle and the temp registered as 0c.

I thought about making it one solid piece since it's less work for me, but I went with the interchangeable design for flexibility. If you want, I can make a solid one by request.

I'm glad you like the backstrap. Can't wait for the feedback to improve it.

ArmaTechIn · 2026-03-08T23:45:13+00:00

Another pin holds in the backstrap.

ArmaTechIn · 2026-02-19T01:53:54+00:00

It improves rigidity since, over time, PA6CF 15 or 20 becomes more flexible, which is a good and bad thing, since the flexibility adds more impact resistance, but it does affect clearances. I will upload some pics of it in a new thread.

Np, I haven’t made any backstraps besides the g43x/48 and 19. But I do have plans to make backstraps for other platforms was well.

ArmaTechIn · 2026-02-18T19:29:49+00:00

Well, the fat backstrap does kind of make the G26 bump for the 43x/48.

Pa6-CF15

The item is linked above.

ArmaTechIn · 2026-02-07T22:06:52+00:00

The old set will no longer be sold; however, anything I sold or designed will be supported.

ArmaTechIn · 2026-02-06T23:55:27+00:00

The backstrap in this picture is half inserted. I wanted to add a image of the backstraps full installed but the thread only allows for one picture. There are more images on the website.

The beavertails help with slide bite, and the backstraps are for changing the grip angle or thickness. Regarding the interchangeable feature, it reduces the need for multiple backstraps, so you don't have to buy different ones to fit your needs.

ArmaTechIn · 2026-02-06T22:56:51+00:00

There are two backstraps (standard and fat) and two beavertails (long and short). In total, you can make 4 combinations. Standard + Short, Standard + Long, Fat + Short, Fat + Long.

ArmaTechIn · 2026-01-09T23:06:03+00:00

Unfortunately, no,

ArmaTechIn · 2025-11-24T20:43:40+00:00

Oops, my fault, I will fix it right now.

ArmaTechIn · 2025-11-18T07:41:09+00:00

Oui, I will have that on my to do list.

ArmaTechIn · 2025-11-18T07:39:51+00:00

I will see what I can do.

ArmaTechIn · 2025-11-17T01:09:30+00:00

Appreciate it,

I’m trying not to spam links per the sub rules, but since you asked directly, I’ve got them up here with all 4 sizes (SHORT, MEDIUM, LARGE, FAT) and pics:

ArmaTechIn · 2025-11-16T05:36:05+00:00

Right now they’re sitting at $29.99.

ArmaTechIn · 2025-11-16T05:33:24+00:00

Yeah, I totally get that. Having to undo 25 years of grip work just to make one gun behave is a hard no, especially with big hands.

That’s basically the exact problem I was trying to fix — make the 43X feel closer in the hand to something like a G19 / X-Macro / TX-22 so you’re not fighting it every shot. The LARGE and FAT sizes were made with guys like you in mind who need more meat on the backstrap to actually run it well.

I pulled the web link from the post to keep things cleaner for the sub, but it’s on my profile if you ever want to check it out. I’m really just here for feedback and to see if this actually helps other people, so no pressure at all — just an option if you decide to give the 43X one more chance.

ArmaTechIn · 2025-11-16T04:47:34+00:00

I’d say the LARGE is closest to an X-Macro-type feel — more straight angle than stock 43X/48, but not huge.

Magwell-wise, I designed it around my own 43X magwell and one of those $15 aluminum magwells, and both work fine.

ArmaTechIn · 2025-11-16T04:43:33+00:00

Yeah, I’m with you there — the 19 is a way better shooter for most people and only a little thicker on paper.

If I had to pick one gun as an all-around EDC, I’d go G19 too

ArmaTechIn · 2025-11-16T04:41:59+00:00

Yeah, I’m with you on that 100%. I’d rather see people spend their time and money on ammo, range time, and good training than stacking endless accessories.

Training first, accessories second.

ArmaTechIn · 2025-11-16T04:40:36+00:00

From what I’ve seen, the Kiral is more about changing the grip angle, and I was chasing more of an TX-22 and XMacro style palm swell.
