Checkout Vedder Holsters for this setup. Link in description 👍

Your voice sounds like you have 4 testicles.

[@spec2057]

Indeed... Thanks for tuning in bud.

Haha 4 balls

[@kimosabe2396]

[@JustSumGuy01]

I CC with the +2 from TTI and my spare is the +3 from Taran Tactical and it is awesome

[@brownbomber9529]

This is hands down the best glock 43 on the internet I dont care what anyone else says just how I would have done it simple not all that color cerakote bs and slide bs just simple nice gun coming all the way from philly 👌

[@shanehayes1088]

I bought the +3 Taran Tactical first day it came out its Awsome

[@gabehartman6832]

I am not a fan of the Glock 43 but this video has changed my mind. You have done tasteful upgrades and I am now very interested in the platform. Subbed

[@spec2057]

Not a huge fan either honestly.....but doing this setup helped. Still carry my 19 but there's a place for single stacks...I guess. Lol. Thanks for the sub brotha!

[@704TACTICAL]

Awesome man !

[@claytoncoleman302]

I've got the Strike Industries +2 extension with about 500 rounds through it thus far and have had zero issues. $11 was too good to pass up and its worked flawlessly.

[@spec2057]

Cool, thanks for the update! Ya, $11 is a great price. Can buy 3 for the price of 1 Taran Tactical.

[@MrHolster]

The plus one doesn't look like it adds much if any to the grip length. Nice lookin set up.

[@spec2057]

It really doesn't.... Just enough.

[@spec2057]

And thank you.

[@AdvancedComputerFixYourOwnComp]

Try Fab Defense they have Plus 4 Mag Extension!! I got my yesterday , installed it took to the range and works perfect. I shot 7 mags and no problems at all. The 10th round is real tight but by the time i got to the 7th mag i was able to get the 10th round in pretty easy. Eleven (11) rounds with the one in the chamber sure seems nice going from 6 and one in the chamber!! The Glock Store store even has the Plus 4 mag extension for the Glock 43!

[@spec2057]

So far so good buddy. 7 mags through. No issues. Great backup option.

[@donvillo1]

Do you carry the 43? I have a 43 and I put night sights on it already and was about to order the taran +3 and the tlr 6 but idk if I should keep on investing money in it or trade it for a glock 19 or 26. I've had the 19 before but never tried to conceal carry it and idk if I'd be able to. It's really hot and humid here where I live so the 43 is very easy to carry with light clothing. What do you think?

[@spec2057]

+donvillo1 great pints. I carry my 19/23 most of the year.. But when wearing tank tops and other "summer" clothes, I carry my 26. I have large hands and shoot the 26 better than any single stack. The 43 is a great option and obviously the most concealable. And with the +3 backup. Capacity isn't as much of an issue. But, go to the range and hold both in your hands (26 & 43), shoot both, and you'll see for yourself what feels better.

[@donvillo1]

+Spec-Operator 4 thanks for the reply. Yeah I have to shoot the 26 to be able to make a decision. Even though I like the 43 a lot but the capacity is always in the back of my mind.

[@spec2057]

+donvillo1 that's definitely one of my reasons. But there a lot of people that are fine with the capacity of a single stack. Nothing wrong with that. Just a personal choice. Rather have more rounds that not enough.

[@donvillo1]

+Spec-Operator 4 see that's the what makes it such a hard choice for me. I rather have 7 or 10 rounds with me than 15 rounds at home. I might just stick with the 43 because the 19 was too thick and big for me to even try to conceal in the summer and the 26 is the same thickness. Hard choices for sure though.

[@werunguns]

Looks nice man. I'm actually working on a Glock 43 project right now. I just had it sent to Taran Tactical for their carry stipple option.

[@spec2057]

Nice! Exciting time. Can't wait to see it brotha!

[@TheComputerCowboy]

Don’t need a new spring for the Strike +2... because it’s already so tight in there, it’s basically an extra long, glorified +1. Add the same length as the Taran +3, but as a plus 2, if you put that 8th round in there, the slide won’t chamber a round. Just put mine on yesterday. Excited because it looks kinda nice, and gives me 8+1. But when I fire my first round it jams. Works great as a +1... but then I could just use the low profile Taran for that.

[@BigJohnsonGG]

Caddy of the 43's! Keep up the great work!

[@spec2057]

Haha.. True. Thanks brotha

[@yt_life1610]

Nice work. Sweet looking 43. Also, congrats on the upcoming review.

[@spec2057]

Thanks bud!

[@gagunshooting803]

Looks GREAT!!! I have the Strike Industries +2 in my G42 and it has work fine with out changing the spring. I was a lil sceptical about it too. Great vids...would love to see your total Glock collection at once.

[@spec2057]

Thanks buddy.

[@humans4targets2]

THIS IS AWESOME!!, BEST G43 I HAVE SEEN YET!! Where can I find that barrel?

[@spec2057]

Brownells my brotha

[@spec2057]

And thank you!

[@thesuccessfulbarber]

I like my g43 factory mag. If i need more rounds I carry a 26 or 19. But nice job

[@spec2057]

Agreed! I don’t carry this as mentioned. Carry a 19 or 26. Thanks for tuning in bud. 👍🏼

[@richiej2640351]

I have a +2 on both the fact. mags and have the fact. spring in it.. I have had no issues and have fired around 2k rds

[@peterdelgado1223]

Nice G43 and Upgrades Spec-Tac! I too have a Glock 43 and am about to venture off into making it just like my Glock 42 with at least 8 round capacity! :D

[@realcowboyrealcowboy7125]

that is a sweet set up for that glock

[@SummumBonum.]

The stock spring on mine was better than the plus two Taran Tactical spring.

[@Vibesave123]

Where did you get the stainless steel guide rod? It matches the barrel perfectly, dope upgrades!

[@spec2057]

Patrick Staubin Thanks man! Sell them pretty much everywhere now. Glockstore, GlockParts, CheaperThanDirt, Lonewolf, etc.

[@Vibesave123]

@@spec2057 thanks!

[@Loki-ej6gf]

Very nice! What brand 3.5lb connector are you using? Sorry if I missed that. I just noticed Taran Tactical is offering G43 connectors but haven't really heard any opinions on them yet...

[@robertdutra3765]

Nice build!! Love that barrel

[@spec2057]

Thanks man, 140 rounds through without issue so far.

[@obliviontactical7974]

If your worried about the spring In that plus 2 base plate. Try it in the mag with the magguts spring. That's a stiffer spring. Plus it might actually make it plus3. Let me know how that works out.

[@spec2057]

Will do brotha! Keep you posted.

[@kentuckyjustice1408]

It's a good looking G-43 with a lot going on there. What did you use to lighten up the trigger pull? I may be asking late, because just yesterday, I ordered a Lone Wolf 3.5 connector for mine. With that said, let's hear it.

[@frosty0419]

You turned a great concealed gun into a brick. Just buy the 27

[@spec2057]

Thanks for pointing out that you didn't actually watch the vid.. this isn't my carry, I carry the 19 mainly.. and you must be new to my channel. Have a few 27s bud. Thanks for tuning in.

[@Grumpygus94]

.40 is for gay boyzzz

[@westup2446]

What happens when you stretch the regular tension spring out alittle yourself? Any problems ?

[@spec2057]

@@westup2446 This is a very old vid but I believe they sent a spring with the mag. But as a range mag I wouldn’t see a problem. I’ve done that before with the plus 2 mag extensions on my 26 with a stock spring and never had issues. Long as the last few rounds still have some tension under them. I probably wouldn’t use it as a main mag for self defense though.

[@anonymous_end_user]

beautiful build

[@spec2057]

Thank you sir

[@KyberKommando]

Great vid love the upgrades you did \m/

[@JustSumGuy01]

What does the stainless steel stuff help with?

[@brandonb6327]

Hi, have you seen or heard any issues with the finish on the 43? Do you think the shield is an overall better gun?

[@spec2057]

That's a personal preference thing bud. But, out of the box, I believe the shield is a better gun. But, with a lil love and some aftermarket parts. The 43 takes it. The Shield is a bit softer in recoil. The way I have this 43 setup, I prefer it over the shield, but remember I've put a lot of money into the 43 to get it to where I feel comfortable. Either way, you're getting a great single stack 9mm no matter which one you choose. Take care bud.

[@leoguardado13]

Great video 👍👍👍 you jus confirmed my thoughts about this gun and they’re on sale here in texas so buying one this weekend

[@stix1775]

neo Corleone don’t change the barrel or chamber on the glock like this idiot. Glocks motto is “Glock Perfection” for a reason. Leave it stock.

[@BirdShotIV]

+3 mag?!? Sweet, look forward to function testing results

[@spec2057]

Me too..lol. Keep you posted.

[@ShinyKnife]

Nice buddy looks great..

[@boofingdragon]

Nice work sir. I dig it.

[@juliosarmiento6703]

what Spyderco model is that off the left? That is a very nice knife.

[@spec2057]

Lol.... It's a Ganzo $18...Made to look like the Spyderco Starmate.

[@thebasicswithblaze2569]

hey bro. How has the TLR-6 been for you? Still working well? I am thinking about getting one for my shield and wanted to get your opinion! Hope you are well!

[@spec2057]

Excellent so far brother. Seen them as low as $80.. Lemme know how the decision goes. Also, checkout Vedder Holsters if you pick one up.

[@claudiuskundanmal5401]

They make a +4 which I have but is a little bulky

[@dirtroad5637]

Nice work & awesome setup!

[@spec2057]

Thank you kind sir! 👍

[@deronacsr74lastname57]

Spec-Op 4. What is the highest. Mag i can get for my g43 besides +4

[@khampanphommavongsa5658]

where did you buy all these upgrades?

[@brysonw1815]

where did you find the rod can't find one for the 43

[@dubglock2312]

turned out great bro!

[@spec2057]

Thanks man

[@jeffvalentin9035]

Spec-Op 4 great job changing the guide rod did it take up some of the recoil if not what did you do to help with recoil

[@SouthernChristianHunter]

That's awesome nice video man

[@mannycruz216]

Why the extended barrel? I never liked the looks of an extended barrel especially on a compact pistol. Is it for more velocity?

[@spec2057]

Manny C you’re funny bud...it’s a threaded barrel for a suppressor. 👍

[@moonrunner8791]

is that a rock your glock guide rod?

[@spec2057]

It is bud.

[@GunCollector007]

Wow! That's one tricked out 43!

[@spec2057]

lol. I like it, that's for sure.

[@djbreal87]

I have the strike industries +2, and I cant get +2 in it, only +1. I have to force hard for a +2, and it wont feed at that point.

[@spec2057]

That sucks...have heard mixed reviews. Luckily your not out to much money as these are pretty cheap. Good luck 👍

[@djbreal87]

for 15$ its ok, I ordered a +1 that fits the reg mag, but it comes with a much thinner metal follow plate, unlike the think black one that comes stock. I swapped that oout and can now easily get +2 and it feeds just fine. I resolved the issue :) I've also gotten a beautiful copper color barrel from Wheaton Arms, a copper american flag backplate from Classy Raptor and talon grips. Just waiting on my conceal holster and trl-6 and I should be finished :)

[@hellenkeller1528]

i dont like the 43 but that looks very sick nice project you should polish the slide stop and mag release in aluminum :)

None yet bud. I'd say roughly 10 mags through.

Im 5' 6" and carry the 19. Shot the 43, 26 and 19 right before deciding what to purchase. Dont understand how anyone can go with the 43 after shooting the 19

[@spec2057]

I also carry the 19.. but if you're a person that prefers to carry a single stack, this is a great option. Thanks for sharing brotha!

[@zakkrichardson7141]

Anybody had there 43 dipped? If so how much did it run you, and how did it come out?

Spec-Op 4 : I just bought one over the weekend. Plan is to get +4mag extensions, extended mag and slide release. Hoping the Gluck factiry, in Smyrna GA, can do the installs free of charge.

[@HorsepowerDr]

the plus 3 is to long for me ...the grip is the hardest part to conceal....mite as well just carry a 19 at that point and gain 6 more rounds ...or a 26 and have an even 10+1

[@spec2057]

?? As I said in the vid a few times. It's the backup mag and I would carry it with the flush/plus 1....... I do agree with you. I carry a 19. People that carry with the huge extensions should yes, just carry a 19.. Just my opinion. Thanks for tuning in bud.
