brdavis9's Review of Tyrant CNC Glock 43x/48 Magwell

This was added primarily for a better grip on the 43X. I have medium size hands; I'm adapting the LH index finger push down grip to try better consistency.

The glossy black finish was a bit darker than the 43X OEM grip color. CNC manufacturing and finish was flawless. It looks good and natural on the gun, if you're into that sort of thing.

Fitment is via a compressible rubber plug sandwiched between a threaded metal "washer" on top and the recessed metal butt part of the Magwell; the screw must remain loosely attached while you force fit the rubber plug into the backstrap channel (it might help to add a drop of liquid soap to the rubber plug). There's also the slim lip/edge of the Magwell that is force fitted over the bottom edge of the grip keeping it all in place.

After getting everything in place, I gave the installed Magwell a couple of firm knocks against a wooden surface before tightening the screw. The Magwell was more than adequately locked into the grip by the compressed rubber plug.

I tested the Magwell (i.e., after installing it) with a 1/2 dozen different OEM Glock 10-round magazines with no issues at all (apparently YMMV, as I noted another reviewer saying OEM 10-rounds "didn't work")... the mag catch was solid on all of the ones I used.

The bottom of the Glock magazine stands out maybe 1/16-1/8 inch proud of the bottom of Tyrant Magwell.

This is an EDC pistol, so I was naturally concerned about printing. It's much less noticeable than a typical competition sized magwell.

At the max cant angle of the Tulster IWB holster I carry with at the 4:00 o'clock position (inside my summer cargo shorts and under a loose t-shirt), printing was barely noticeable (unexpectedly, not all that much worse - if any - than a Ruger LCP Max I similarly carry).

So printing is in the "No one's going to notice unless they know what to look for and ARE looking" category.

I would highly recommend the Tyrant Magwell as a reasonable choice for an EDC 43X... perhaps more so for grip placement than increasing mag insertion speed.
Pros:
  • Fitment. Grip enhancement. Small size. Solid machining and finish..
Cons:
  • A tiny bit difficult to install & no included instruction suggestions. Use liquid soap lol.
Best Used for:
  • EDC, training, and grip enhancement
Would Recommend: Yes
