Custom Glock 43X MOS Review: Upgraded EDC Perfection - Latest Version

[@eduardocruziii9055]

I would also recommend taking you mags apart & spray the Mag body & Mag Spring with Liquid Graphite (Pencil Lead). Make the mags run super smooth. I do this to ALL of my mags & have had Zero Malfunctions in my S15's. Just a suggestion.

[@mikeiso8963]

Best gun reviewer on youtube imo. Your understanding of the fundamentals of video shooting with lighting, color and sound! Plus the dope builds with great aesthetics paired with concise reviews are a huge step up compared to most guntube. Hope your channel blows up so you can keep cranking out content.

Dang bro thank you so much!! 😄

Though I’m sure Goon tape is great we can’t forget the tried and true Howies hockey tape. Dude started it in his parents basement and has continued to produce great quality tape.

[@phoenixtoolit]

@@jamesmoore8873 has to be mos

[@ModernMoros]

@@jamesmoore8873 I have went through multiple different sets of sights, both regular height and suppressor height on my non MOS 43x, not sure why others are saying it has to be the MOS version, it's simply not the case. The only difference between MOS and non is the ability to run an optic, and the added MOS rail for the ability to run accessories on the MOS. You can 100% add suppressor height sights on both the 43x and 43x MOS.

[@charlesbristol7690]

Bro make a video on the suppressor you use on the glock 43x

Got my 43x and basically got everything on the first 43x build you made. People I hand it to says it’s the most comfortable glock they ever held. Thank you for your suggestions and informative reviews.

[@johnowen6507]

the 43x is the most comfortable Glock I've ever held. I thought my 19x felt good but i snagged a 43x a couple weeks ago and it makes the 19x feel like a brick in my hand lol.

I have the exact same 43X MOS build except I run an Agency Arms premier line threaded barrel. I love the Johnny Glocks Combat system and the Vex shoe. Definitely takes some getting used to but it's about as good as a Glock trigger can be. I dig the Goon Tape on the Talon grip, I might steal that look!

[@ToPo0221]

I’m a little confused on the trigger setup, the price you have listed says $193 but when I click on the link you have on your site for 43x it’s over $300. I then just went to just the vex trigger shoe and select the combat trigger bar I assume you’re using and it comes out to $150 before tax?

[@GUNMENusa]

Haha man I’m so sorry for the confusion there. That was my bad, I had the wrong price listed. You’re right! I use the shoe and trigger bar setup. I don’t get the plunger or firing pin & spring. Just the lower kit! And it’s amazing

[@geovannibonilla6305]

Anyone have any recommendations for mounting a eps carry onto the 43x mos do I need a plate if so from who and where do i get the “short” screw people talk about.

[@Fishtac69]

I’ve been carrying a 43x for 5months now and I like it. I don’t like the 10+1 capacity and i was considering the shield arms mags but they are unreliable :( . So I got a Glock +3 extension. Ive shot 500+ rounds thru it and the thin handle made it difficult to get a good grip so…talon grips! The 19x feels way better in hand and while shooting than the 43x imo. I could only imagine that the Glock26 feels the same or if not close to the same as the 19x. I think a 26 with a extension would better suit my needs/wants 😂

[@Rambo17401]

Honestly the Glock 26 with the plus 2 is a really good option for carry. I would prefer it over the 43X simply because it’s reliable. The shield arms mags have issues and I don’t feel comfortable carrying a mag that I can’t trust my life with.

Doing a similar build but I’m doing a Timney alpha series comp trigger , stippling, and a rmsw glass edition because it will sit flush with Glock 43x mos and don’t have to send slide off to get milled down for 507k but then again might do it anyway if ima get it stippled

When purchasing a threaded barrel, are you required to ship it to your local gun store or can you ship it to your address?

[@Excalibur01]

I have bought 2 of the gen 2 S15 mags and the Shield Arms' own steel mag catch. Each mag I've tested with defense loads, there was 1 failure to feed, which was solved with a tap and rack. From then on, I had ZERO malfunctions with at least 2 more fully loaded mags +1 in the chamber of assorted defense loads and then over 300 rounds of assorted FMJs. So far, I'm happy with what I got. I may get a 3rd S15 mag with the 5 round extension or giggles

[@billstaton1666]

Is there a list of final preferences? The vid is hard to follow.

[@michalkrampera4349]

Do you use Stock spring please? if not, which one?

[@kencatellier]

Glad to hear someone got the S15 mags to work. I picked up 3 along with the premium mag catch. And had nothing but problems just function testing them with SnapCaps. My problem with them was that the mag follower was not probably interfacing with the slide stop/release. Causing misfeeds, jamming and failure to lock open on the last round. Also the geometry of the magazine just seemed off to me. It didn't properly fit in the magazine well, seemed to loose and rattled around. But I was able to return everything and get most of my money back. hopefully they'll do an update in address the problems people are having. Cuz I really wanted these things to work... O well, Factory mags and plus threes from the Glock Store are working just fine.

[@GUNMENusa]

Yeah dang it man I’m sorry!! They were so frustrating for me until they worked haha but I honestly loved running my OEM mags!

[@mixdbyjoshua5621]

Likewise I had the same issues with mine and I wasn’t able to return them bc I actually shot rounds through them and I sent them back to get tested and of course SA said they were fine and sent them back to me. I sold them and sticking with OEM just carry another mag.

[@iMikegreen]

I had the same problems, as bad as I want to use my s15 mags but everytime I hit the range I have malfunctions. I'm going back to oem. I'm comfortable with ten rounds that works all the time.

[@ShooterMcGottem]

​@Kyle Park I have the EPS Carry on my 43X MOS and love it so far. Looking down the sights it looks identical to the 507K but with the benefit of being enclosed. The only benefit to the non enclosed red dot is looking at it through night vision. Much easier to see the dot.

It "looks cool" but honestly.... if you're using this for EDC... and you NEED to use this, it will be under 10 feet and in most cases 7 feet and below. No need for a red dot. It will be close and it will be personal. Way too many additions for an EDC gun IMOH but it looks nice. Great video though.

Ever since I saw your 43x in another video I've really wanted to build one.
