I shoot the G-26 better than the G-43, but I shot the G-19 better than the G-26! I like the G-19/26 when able, but the G-43 is handy for those times when the G-26 is just a bit too wide. Using a Magguts magazine spring and follower, I get a reliable 7+1, with a back-up mag of 7+1 with the Pierce +1 floor plate.
