    IIRC, they posted a video a while back that you could tell was edited. Watching this one it looks better but I'm still skeptical.

    Hmmmm....DO you really think they would be editing their videos to show the gun shooting 15 rounds? That would be shocking for a company that is already pretty established.

    I do not know anything about the company. Just watching the first video, it seemed edited to me. Also with the video being released a week before April 1st, it made me more skeptical.
    If they are an established company and this is a real product, awesome. They will sell the crap out of them.

    It’s either gonna work or it’s not. If it’s does then Glock will sell 3x as many as they would have. At least for me it will go from a maybe to a definitely assuming proof of concept.

    Geesh if these are legit it'll make those pistols sell like crazy! Thinner walled from metal so more internal room, but squeezing 5 more rounds seems crazy! I'm excited to see how these turn out!

    Yup, same here. A 15 round G43X is something that I’d be interested in. I hope that they prove to be reliable in the long run.

    I was a little surprised that the Glock mags were 10 round. Comparing the physical size to the 365 12 round mag I think 12 rounds would have been doable for the Glocks but 3 more rounds with the same size mag honestly seems impossible. Maybe some kind of follower that compresses would work but it appears another 3/4" would be a minimum to get 3 more rounds in the mag. Anything is possible but I'm not holding my breath on this one. :)

    I bet Sig lawyers are working overtime right now making sure there are no patent infringements.
