Fast Shooting, Less Recoil With Bad Hands: Ported Glock 43 Build

[@jimrayne6375]

Great review,,,,43 & 26 are my EDC . Mag options can increase your capacity, best of both worlds, summer & winter!!👍

[@spnfirearms]

Thank you man, I appreciate it. And agreed 100%! Respect and great choices

Looks great! But the cookies are looking way better right now!

[@vashmatrix5769]

Magguts should make a metal sleeved z9 copy so it could have 9 reliably.

I saw that SCT now has a G43 grip! Undercuts and all! About $100 complete at Aimsurplus. Much better ergos as compared to glock!

[@spnfirearms]

I’ll have to check it out!! Thank you!

[@mikelasa5173]

Love the pattern on the holster for sure!!

I bought q 43x for my wife. She of course wanted it customized lol so I have a few extra parts , barrel, slide. The 43 is my next project.

[@rjcavazos89]

My first EDC is a Glock43. Loved it so much I built one but now it fails to eject the casing too much to trust :(

@@rjcavazos89have a red dot? Maybe check the mount screws

[@rjcavazos89]

@@juanramos1924 Never heard of that but maybe. I've since removed the red dot and am planning to test the G43 build at the range again. Maybe change recoil springs (has the Glock tungsten) or swap uppers with my OEM G43 for testing.

[@juanramos1924]

⁠@@rjcavazos89right side screw for red dot may be a little long and it’s touching extractor. Its a common issue

[@rjcavazos89]

@@juanramos1924 Will keep ya posted. Should work well next time at the range with the dot removed. Also saw some extraction issues commonly on 43x videos but some dremel work fixing the issue I also have completed. We'll see...

[@NJLev]

Hey SPN, do you have a link by any chance for the Glock metal sights you’ve shown in other videos for the 26? With the standard “drop in a bucket” sight picture? I checked eBay and couldn’t find them.

Just get a Shield 🛡🔫 Plus PC. Less money with greater capacity. 100% reliable

[@jameshamann9860]

Have you seen nightsticks Tsm 15g for the shield plus or the other models of the Tsm they are rechargeable light lasers I got one it’s really nice only thing is it’s kind of had to find holsters

I’m sorry but I feel as though I can’t quit my G43X/G48. I’m trying to love my Gen 4 G26 But, I agree with the perks of having it, my G43X/G48 fits me especially for summer carry. If I can make a request which I’m sure you’ve probably already made this video, what are the pros of having the G43X/G48 over the G26? My carry options are G26, G43X, G48, and G19. I keep going in circles trying to pick just one for my perfect carry choice.

[@rustwins4442]

The only 2 advantages of the g48/g43x over a g26 is IWB comfort and that sweet, full grip. The G26 is a better gun in every other way but I'm kind of like you in that I just like the g48 more than a g26. I really just like having a full grip, and the slimness does help too. I do think the g43x is kinda stupid when the g48 exists but to each their own.

[@popa213]

@@rustwins4442 I agree with you. My dilemma is my G48 is my favorite especially when I carried my PSA 15 rd mags in it. I’m kinda scared to trust them though. Also the G48 with 15 rd PSA mags and TLR 7 sub light weighs more than a G26 with 12 rd mag and TLR 6 light so now the purpose of the G48 being lighter to carry is lost. The G48 kinda serves no purpose with OEM 10 rd mags which is why I carry in circles with the G26 because it’s so versatile with mag round count. But the G43X with 10 rd OEM mag makes sense to me mentally 😂. I’m confused. I make decisions like my wife when it comes to carry choices 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.

[@rustwins4442]

@@popa213 I think 10rds is plenty for EDC. We have to stop letting these gun influencers drive or personal EDC choices. I'm completely comfortable with 10 rds of 9mm on tap. The chances of us using are firearm are almost non-existent, the chances of us needing more than 10rds of 9mm is astronomically low.

[@rustwins4442]

I really didn't like my g43, much prefer the g48. It's a bit bigger but that just makes it a better shooter.

[@rjcavazos89]

Wish I could give you my Glock43 build (Zaffiri Upper/barrel, OEM Lower + parts) to diagnose. It fails to eject probably once per mag but looks great. Can't trust it as an EDC :(
