I have several of these for my 43 but have not received my 43X to try it.
Can anyone confirm this or does the mag have to be coated in TW25B to get it out?

I'll be as polite as possible and say they obviously hire people who know nothing about their products.
I believe I previously posted about visiting my local GT distributors where they keep bulk magazines out on the sales floor and some Nimrod shoved a 43x magazine into a magazine pouch for a 43.
It fit. But I'm 6'3 and 320 and there was no way in hell I was able to pull that magazine out. It sat that way for a few weeks, no clue what they did to the magazine pouch to get the magazine out.
But no, no way is the stock 43 pouch usable. I tried it myself when I had a micro dagger magazine and Hellcat Pro and there was zero chance of them getting in.
I was able to modify a kydex G43 magazine pouch from Bordertown holsters to fit the Hellcat Pro magazine, but that's because his magazine pouches are made with extra material that I was able to soften with a hair dryer.
Personally, I would go with my previous suggestion of the stock Glock magazine pouch with a layer of self adhesive Velcro on the inside to act as a shim. You could probably do the same with double-sided tape and some cardboard of some sort. Maybe even a piece of kydex if you had some from some other project. Basically you want it to have enough friction to keep it in while letting you pull it out (That's what she said).
I no longer have Micro dagger or Hellcat Pro magazine so I can't try it for sure on that size.
