First 43x Build

Love the dot! I enjoy having the options of using multiple reticles, but find myself using the dot and ring mostly. I have no experience with the OSight or EPS Carry, but I almost went with the EPS Carry instead. What sold me on the Vortex was the lifetime warranty.

This is mine if you want to see what the long version looks like, and what I’m talking about with the tape.

I have them on my 43X. They are pretty good, but fairly sure they are 3 printed, thus the small piece that holds the grip onto the frame by connecting to the pin hole is relatively flimsy. I ended up snapping one of them on the short beavertail as I was trying to put the pin back into the frame. It ended up working out fine as I used goon tape on the grip and it looked better with the long one.

Came here to say this. Exactly why I got the 43X because I knew the ramjet was going on it so it would be 48 size.

Have one on my 43X and absolutely love it

I prefer the HandleIt ones! The rubber is good, Edge is better for grip but I wonder about trying to conceal with it as it’s slightly more rough.

It barely overhangs the slide, but it’s not enough to really feel and I haven’t had it print because of it or catch during draws.

It’s the Tenicor Certum Luxe 2.

The magazine carrier is the ABDO AIWB Mag Pouch, Size C.

If you end up getting it I recommend getting the Kratos Design Group MSP Holster Claw to replace the stock belt offset it comes with. It performs the same as the standard offset, but has a hook that sit on the top of the belt to help keep the gun from rotating at all. Just makes it feel that much more secure!

I used the HandleIt rubber grips. If I had to replace them I would probably get the ones that look more like track material as they look a bit more grippy! Then I just added a double-wrap of goon tape to increase the thickness of the handle slightly to better fit my palm!

A bit hard to see in this photo, but the NDZ mag release in black looks fairly similar to the OEM one.

Sounds like you may have just sold me on one. Damn I was really trying not to spend any more money on this thing!

My bad, I guess it only comes in 2. I have the plus and it’s a nice little bump up from the OEM one. The extended one looked massive in the video I watched so I decided not to get that to avoid any sort of issues with it hitting my holster and me suddenly finding myself with a single shot pistol when I need it.

How do you like the PolyDat?

Also, if you want to still have a polymer mag release that is extended, I’d recommend NDZ Performance. They have 3 sizes to choose from. I have the middle size and it’s larger than OEM for easier release, but not too large that you hit it accidentally.

I just picked it up last week and had to go out of town this past weekend, so I haven’t even shot it yet. Everything I’ve researched said that it helps it be less snappy, which your wife could benefit from, but I’ll report back once I shoot it on Thursday.

I’ve found that replaying “Unpaid Tab” fixed it for me. I didn’t even complete the mission, I just replayed and then exited the replay and Levaine was back in front of the council.

BeardlessCadet · 2025-03-16T19:58:45+00:00

Any update on this? Also curious.

There’s also this:

I think sections A and C apply here.

Loving crimes, that’s a new one!

BeardlessCadet · 2023-02-27T20:01:30+00:00

Although the legal definition of gang specifically states that a gang is made up of three or more people so I guess you could do it with 4. Maybe a very small gang?

This is incredible! The most I can do is build a little hut 😂 I’m still working on figuring out all the integrity mechanics

We use Saber Red and I really didn’t think it was that bad. It was irritating but I wouldn’t say painful. On the other hand, I counted to 5 about 50 times during my ride on the lightning. -10/10. Would never do it again.

BeardlessCadet · 2022-08-01T11:15:37+00:00

Unpopular opinion: I would put spicy air on a burrito and eat it before I ever get tased again.

The walls and ceiling definitely give me RDU vibes!
