In our testing with factory ammunition, a spring change was not necessary. Depending on your specific pistol and ammunition, a lighter recoil spring may be necessary.

Blaze, member, from AZ, United States, asked on December 28, 2024

Is this not for the 43X? I bought one and the box is checked 43. There’s a box not checked for 43X & 48. So I’m wondering if it’s even compatible?

Manufacturer Answer

Answered by Faxon Firearms, Manufacturer from OH, United States, on January 08, 2025

This compensator will function on a Glock 43X but it will slightly overhang the tapered nose of the slide. The EXOS-533 is the compensator we designed to line up with the tapered nose of the Glock 43X and Glock 48 pistols: https://www.opticsplanet.com/faxon-firearms-exos-533-pistol-compensator.html
