In the early 2,000’s, single stack 9mm handguns were the hot trend in the concealed carry market. Most of the gun manufacturers were competing to create the smallest handgun that would hold six or seven rounds. This included the extremely popular M&P Shield and the highly anticipated Glock 43 (albeit a couple of years later … Read more
When the GLOCK 43X was released at SHOT Show in January of 2019, many of the first reactions were, well, lukewarm. The SIG P365 had already energized the concealed carry market and now GLOCK was playing catch-up.

The main draw of the Xtech Tactical MTX 365 +3 baseplate for your SIG SAUER P365 is the same draw of the P365 itself.

By shoehorning 10+1 rounds into a pistol the size and weight of every other mainstream company’s 6+1 round offering, they turned heads and changed minds.
