I put 50 rounds through it an it shoot to the left or is it me

[@chrissourp6807]

@@Patriot-pq1ku I have heard about that. But with all my Glocks I put fiber optic sights on them as soon as I get them. I did not shoot my 43X with the stock sights. I shot it a week ago (50 rds ) and it was pleasantly right on the money. If the rear can be adjusted ( can't if there is a screw, I cant remember ) Then you can give it a couple of taps, or have a smith adjust it. Do not give up on the gun, it's a great EDC. Or, contact Glock if you can get a buddy to verify that it is shooting left. Good luck.

Glock 43x is going to be my first gun ever.

Do a LOT of research. This is more of a carry pistol. I’m assuming you aren’t going to be carrying right away because not to many people own no guns and go straight to carrying. Just do a lot of research.

[@toshashoots5114]

I've been a NRA Pistol Instructor for years and never liked Glocks. Never recommended them, first choice for a 9mm concealed carry for me was a S&W Shield....until I shot the 43x. I own one now and partner it with my Performance Center Shield in my carry rotation. I understand completely how your choice of a handgun is completely subjective and the gun must "feel right" in a person's hand, but I honestly think that you can't go wrong with a Shield or a 43x. Both are great guns, good shooters, and extremely reliable. I lean a bit more towards the 43x now only because you get 10 + 1 rather than 8 +1. Shoot safe!

[@Kornholeeoo]

Toshashoots I totally get that. I have many guns and my 2 favorites now are the G43X and the P365XL. The P365 was too short. The G43 was too. The G48 made me want to look for a milled slide for a reflex sight... but the G43X felt great in my hands. So did the P365XL. So I bought both. I still love my G19 and my 1911s but my daily carry is one of these two now. I also like my M&P 2.0 but it’s like the G19, a tad large, but I still carry it every now and then too.

[@ericachenbach2617]

I bought the Glock 43X yesterday. It was a toss up over the Sig 365. But with so many people complaining about the firing pins, and capacity, it turned out to be a no-brainer. The one thing I like the most is the full grip. If I bought the 365 I would need the extended clip to feel comfortable. Why go there when I can get this with a larger capacity and a full grip.

[@HawkN3lson]

Shield arms also makes a mag that holds 15 rounds without increasing mag length.

[@nickboots2]

This was my first gun purchase ever. Love it.

[@j.r.777]

I just bought a Glock 43X. I own several firearms and lots of Glocks. I bought the 43X, with my wife and daughter in mind. They could train with it and carry it but due to the firearms thinner profile, it would be easier for them to shoot, and have better ergonomics. Everyone ended up really loving the gun. Even I did too. Now I need to buy 2 more so my wife and daughter can have one, as well as myself. All of my Glocks have been bought new and are blue labels that have come with either Glock factory night sights or the Ameriglo factory night sights. The department that I work for uses Glock 22’s, with factory night sights so that is what I have always bought. But a few months back I had my local shop order me a Gen 5 Glock 45 MOS, and a Gen 5 Glock 19 MOS. The shop owner misunderstood the sights that I wanted and ordered the Glock with the Ameriglo’s. I actually like them better but, still like the Glock factory night sights too. With the 43X, the only dislike with it that I have is that it only came with 2 magazines and not 3, like almost every other Glock that there is. I ended up having to buy a third factory mag and don’t know why Glock chose to do what they did but, I absolutely love the 43X, for its ability to conceal really well. With the shorter barrel, I will run +P ammo. On all of my other handguns, I have them loaded with Hornady Critical Duty rounds. But, I only like to run standard pressure on barrels that are 4” in length or more. Since this one is under that, I’m going to run the +P Hornady Critical Duty rounds to compensate for the slight losses in round speeds and pressures.

[@delphicdescant]

The major update was the capacity... That was the only major update. And the 365 was the only challenger on that front. So I'm pretty sure it was in response to that. Too bad they still couldn't mach the capacity per size of the 365 though. I wish there were more competition for that gun.

[@garyjustgary5059]

Well, if Glock were trying to compete with the 365 I think they would've made the handle smaller. Also, I didn't care for the 365 and Sig had problems with them early on. If I had to pick between the 2 I'd go Glock or even the Shield.

[@schuncke]

@@garyjustgary5059 I have the shield 1.0 and 2.0 and the P365. After breaking the P365 in its a great shooter. The Glock 43 is far to snappy and heavier recoil than the Sig and the M&P.

I know it's Taurus so it's crap...well so far not in my experience. So despite the cost I do like the 43X and it fits well in my hand. I would like to own one because Glock, why else.

Thank you- I’ve been leaning towards a P365 over a G43; mostly because P365 carries 10, but G43 would likely last my lifetime (cf. Glock 17 running 350,000+ round count). So now I need to try yet another gun (oh twist my arm!) at the range for a test drive... so 10 rounds that lasts a lifetime G43X may make for a game changer. Ultimately I want the most bang that even my wife won’t notice.

# of sells show how much the general public like/wants the firearm. *1st* the Glock 17 in the early 1980 became a top seller for Glock & a cult classic. *2nd* the Glock 19 over took the G17 as a best seller due to it form factor, it was easier to carry basically & just as accurate at CCW distances. *3rd* recently in the last few years the Glock 43 has started to become Glock's best seller. *4th* Now the Glock 43X & Glock 48 are out. *The G43X seems to be, for now the number 1 Glock in sells.* According to Lenny Mcgill of *The Glock Store* he said the G43X outsells the G48 (3 to 1). For every one (1) Glock 48 sold, there (3) Glock 43X's are bought. *5th* Conclusion in the above contest: Glock 43X vs Glock 48 vs Glock 43 The *GLOCK 43X* wins by sells and thus in popularity.

The Glock 19 will still have a niche with women who want a full size home defense or range gun that may find the 17 too big. I agree with all of your points on the 43x about filling a void where Glock’s lineup obviously had some gaps in it. The 19 is Glock’s #1 selling pistol and for good reason. It will still have its place in the lineup for my reasoning above and others who don’t want a full-size gun but like the capacity of the 19. It still covers a lot of middle ground.

Thanks for the video! I shot my 43 alongside the 43x. I did like the grip of the 43x and did shoot it a bit better than my 43. I do like the flexibility of the 43.

There is no doubt in my mind that this was Glock’s answer to the Sig 365. I believe that if the Sig had not been so uncomfortable in the hand and the first batch ended up being a mechanical train wreck, sig would have destroyed The Glock 43 market. That being said, the sig is rediculously uncomfortable and is a stovepipe/Ejector snap/general pistol malfunction waiting to happen. So I won’t own one.

I like it but the whole "innovation" thing is nonsense you can get a kahr same size for like 330-350. Also on the sig p365 , kel-tec has the p11 lighter just as many rounds been out for 10 years and cost half as !much lol people are silly

[@ComposeArt]

the p11 is never talked about. Thanks for bringing it attention

[@NCF80M3]

I cant find the silver one anymore .... Kinda like it

[@darrenm9597]

Picked one up last night. Gonna choot it today.😎

[@daleeveland5579]

Can't wait for the 15 round mag

[@KidWitHearts]

Dale Eveland they’re always sold out... 😭😭

[@daleeveland5579]

@@KidWitHearts that's ok someone else can work out the bugs

[@tomparker8932]

Make sure and get tritium combat sights, and yes even with big hands very manageable. This model is much like a Sig PPK or some such Euro Police gun. Uh, well its a Glock. Positivity here, life saving....

[@kylescott6225]

It is awesome... easy carry... never know I have it on my person

[@roguetrooper2138]

Thank you. Spot on. I was going to buy another S&W M&P Shield 2.0, But it is just to thin and only 6,7, or 8 rounds? Then i have to spend another $45.00 for an extra 8 round mag? forget about it. Bought the 43X. Is it Snappy?

[@jamescrum570]

Mine shoots the same to the low lelt nice gruop but to the low left and its brand new the only problem i have with this is that 7 people that are good shooters experience the same thing nice firearm but the truth is that it fire to the left and if you hold it to a off center position it land to dead center right ....nice one by glock but i m going with the 365 this summer

[@aaronbarkley81]

James Crum drift your sight a bit. I had to do that once to one of my regular 43's. My43x and other 43 and 42 where gtg thought.

[@DnBQemist]

VP9 SK allllll daaaayyyy

[@schuncke]

G43 is also Snappy as Hell. M&P Shield way better.

[@ChristopherBlake514]

Good video, as for the 43x Longer grip=printing, hence why I’ll stick to my 43, capacity doesn’t mean much if you train, if in fact it’s that much of a priority you can always get mag extenders .....

[@DanMar5858]

Christopher Blake - or do what I do when I carry my 43, bring along my ETS 13 round magazine for my spare. 👍🏽👍🏽

[@bep357]

So p365 vs 43x do you still like the p365 more?

[@TonyTorzido]

Ima just get the p365. Smaller, similar capacity, better sights.

[@therealhawkeyeii7888]

Mine came from the factory with Ameriglo night sights. Glock offers them with three sight options, plastic, Glock night sights, Ameriglo night sights.

[@jeffandstuff821]

If you add magguts (a $33 mag accessory) to a shield 8 round magazine to bump it up to 10rds, you have very comparable set up on a shield... which can be acquired for under $150-200 less than this new Glock. I would be interested to see how truly concealable this new offering would be for those carry strong side with a tuckable holster set up. It's really difficult to label any concealed option the best these days because there are tons of reliable options at great price points that can accommodate various body types. It all boils down to what trade off you are willing to make...

[@GL2330]

i don't get the hype on this one, concealment problems usually are grip length related, so if your cool with the longer grip get a glock 19 and have the advantage of a longer barrel.

[@theedgar1959]

Better then a Kimber Raptor micro 9 ?

[@bobbyfanman1734]

LOL, the G19 isn't going anywhere, that's for sure. I just shot the G43X and the Sig P365 a couple days ago, liked both of them very much, but the G43X felt much better in my hand. The Sig's grip was too small for me. Granted the Sig sights, trigger, capacity and size are fantastic, unmatched, crazy insane how they did it, but the G43X will be easier to get out of your holster and easier to shoot in a stressful situation. Unless you are a police officer, where 10+1 rounds might not be enough (especially if you need deep cover than go with the P365), 11 rounds should be more than enough fire power for anyone in a self defense situation, unless of course you live in a war zone, which in that case you should probably move. The G43X will be an excellent EDC for CCW. I plan on getting one this week and will trade off between that and my G19. Be safe.

[@sanilkhanivadekar860]

Thnx for tis video, tis jus i wud b lukin for in a 43 rather thn buyin d 19. It luks and feels awesome. Silver color is grt too! Awesome

[@johnhatchel1372]

So many better options than Glock.

[@birminghamblueheat4986]

I carry a G19 on duty and a Shield 9 off duty. Do you think it’s that much better than a shield to justify filling another spot in my gun safe? I’m very tempted to order this online after watching your video. Btw.. excellent video.

[@mdredheadguy1979]

I'd like to get one of these, but one question: will it be available in black?

[@claytonsmith5529]

yup...but they cost a little more. I think they are out now.

[@knightfall209]

Is this better than 48 glock

[@digitalpunk5365]

Nice review. I’ve seen quite a few of the Glock 43x reviews and purchased one recently. Most of these veteran shooters on KZbin are saying it shoots left and it’s probably not the gun? I’m a bit concerned about it

[@therealhawkeyeii7888]

I was worried about those reports, too. Took mine out for its first spin at the range this week, and no leftward pull. Shoots close to dead center. Maybe an inch to the left at ten yards. No more. Likely me, though, since when I change where my trigger finger is on the trigger as I pull, point of impact moves to center.

[@wingman4860]

Great review, I guess I will be getting one!
