I have mine put together and was wondering as I have not seen any reports lately.
I took the slide from my G3 G26 and finished the frame with OEM parts except for the Johnny Glock trigger.
I was somewhat surprised to find that I prefer the M1X frame to my G43X, I like the fuller grip. The Slim 43X frame puts a “chicken wing” in my trigger finger trying to put my finger pad on the trigger, the M1X frame fills my hand.
Looking forward to my pistol range drying out so I can put rounds on target, dry firing is only so much fun.
Just another day in paradise.

I have one with a gen 5 top end and all stock parts and gen 5 trigger, I have roughly 500 rounds of various bullet weights and styles without a single problem. I have been carrying it, I think the recoil is less than the 43x which I also like and carry.

I’ve carried and shot mine quite a bit. The only downside is holster compatibility, the frame dimensions at the front rail and side ‘gas pedals’ are too big to fit in traditional kydex holsters for 9mm frame Glocks.
I found leather holsters I had on hand for large frame Glocks would work.
I picked up one of The Glock Store’s holster, $35, when there were no others available. The kydex is a bit thinner than I expected and I do not think it will last long before splitting. It has served so far. I have an unbranded kydex for my G30 that works very well.

I have always loved my G26, but barely carried it. I almost jumped on this when GD released it, but held off. I have the Magpul 12 round magazines, which still make for a great carry size, I just never do it for some reason. I carry the G19, the G48, or the G43 pretty frequently.
