FAB Defense AMP conversion kit stands out at SHOT Show 2026 as one of those rare accessories that actually changes how you think about a handgun. In this episode of What’s Hot at SHOT, Sootch catches up with Itay Goldenberg from FAB Defense, and the conversation quickly turns into a hands-on look at modularity, control, and practical upgrades that don’t require paperwork or permanent changes.
Turning a Handgun Into Something More
Right from the start, Itay demonstrates how the AMP conversion kit fits Glock 43X–size pistols and then expands far beyond that. The FAB Defense AMP conversion kit drops onto a railed handgun and immediately adds stability, balance, and multiple points of contact. Without modifying the firearm, shooters gain a platform that feels closer to a compact PDW than a traditional pistol—yet still allows the handgun to be removed in seconds.
Non-NFA, Drop-In, and Purpose-Built
As the conversation continues, Itay explains why this system matters legally as much as mechanically. The AMP uses a true non-NFA brace design, allowing shooters to install it, train with it, and remove it without registration or approval. That simplicity changes the equation. With the FAB Defense AMP conversion kit, shooters focus on training and performance instead of regulatory hurdles.
One Chassis, Many Popular Pistols
Next, the video highlights one of the AMP’s biggest strengths: adaptability. By swapping internal adapters, the same chassis supports a wide range of popular pistols, including Glock, SIG P320, CZ P-07 and P-10C, and Walther PDP models. That modular approach means shooters don’t need multiple conversion systems—just one flexible platform that grows with their handgun collection.
Ultimag SL: A Magazine Designed to Match the System
Alongside the AMP, FAB Defense introduces the Ultimag SL, their latest magazine for the Glock 43X. Itay walks through its design, emphasizing durability, reliability, and ease of maintenance. The Ultimag SL features a full-polymer body, a high-visibility follower, and clear round-count indicators at key points. Just as important, it disassembles easily for cleaning—something many shooters avoid because standard magazines make it such a hassle. Paired with the FAB Defense AMP conversion kit, the Ultimag SL reinforces FAB Defense’s focus on shooter-friendly design.
Optics, Rails, and Real-World Flexibility
The conversation then shifts to accessories. The AMP includes an M-LOK handguard, optional Picatinny rail sections, and flexible optic mounting options. Shooters can run slide-mounted optics, chassis-mounted red dots, or remove the optic cover entirely depending on the handgun in use. Even better, the system retains zero when reinstalling the same pistol, making it practical for repeat use.

The FAB Defense AMP conversion kit and Ultimag SL work together to give shooters more control, more flexibility, and more confidence—whether for training, home defense, or range time. That combination is exactly why this SHOT Show conversation is worth watching start to finish.
