GLOCK 43x - The Best Subcompact Glock 9mm Ever?

[@6548ww]

I never did care for the grip on the standard G43 but the G43X fits my hand much better I don't like fingers hanging off the bottom of the gun and I don't like having to buy extended mags or grip extensions to make a gun fit my hand so the longer grip on the 43X is spot on

[@ralphmowery2898]

Same with me. I wanted a lighter gun to carry from my Glock 23. Replaced it about 3 weeks ago with the 43x. I had been thinking of the 43 but did not like the short grip. Wish Glock had a 40 cal the same size as the 43x. Those short handles with an extended magazine seem to pinch my little finger in the gap.

[@D13-x5s]

Just got mine today . Luv it ! Super accurate, 100% so far.. thx for the review

[@chrissourp6807]

The G43X just replaced my G43. I put 150 flawless rounds downrange first time out. Love the gun and the longer grip. And it's fairly light. Absolutely love it, and owning 8 Glocks now, I have NEVER had one fail in any way. The gun is a little snappy but manageable. It is now in my EDC rotation. Love it.

[@SHUB281]

Thought it was just me with that trigger. Ran 400 rds and got a nice little blister.

[@tymccutchen]

Just got mine yesterday in black. Love it.

[@JoannaJedrzejczyksForehead]

I agree 1000% on the trigger. Best Glock trigger I’ve ever used. By a considerable margin.

[@kirsch1616]

Love my 17,19, 22 and my last 5 year or so EDC the 26. But when I put this thing in my hand it was just to good to be true. First range day spent alot of time running 700 rounds of all types of ammo at a few different distances and targets and I’m in love!

[@kn7gez]

I shoot 43X tighter groups than all other Glocks. Perfect fit in hand. But hurts trigger finger bad.

[@glockoholics7512]

A lot of Glock loving in this video. Carry on! 😎

[@Galensgab]

It is nice to see excitement for a new, well made pistol.

[@sweetcostarica]

One of the best sub-compacts for CCW. Top three (3) today are: - S&W Shield - SIG P365 (2.0) - G43 and/or G43X I have only one (1) handgun. I chose the Glock 43X after havivg many Glocks, and many other brands of guns. The Glock 43X is for CCW and I think it is one of the best. All due respect to the video maker but after shooting 300 rounds without cleaning ( I will go 200 more rounds then clean it) the G43X - has not jammed or malfunctioned - everything about the trigger is fine - It is so light I forget I am wearing it sometime - this firearm helps accuracy to develop easy Stay frosty.

[@oddjob428]

Great info, please boost the lighting. Thanks

[@possumtrotranch]

I love my 43X! The grip on the 43 was just too small for my large left hand. The 43X fits perfectly and I shoot it well. I agree with you about trigger pain after shooting a few magazines. It hurts, even on a warm day. A bandage helps but I wonder if it could be filed down to be a little smoother.

[@lukeescobedo4150]

Love the 43x, trigger is way better than my gen3 g27, trigger does dig in my finger though.

[@ilikeutube2011]

Glock19 trigger shoe only will fit the glock43x I also did the same thing to my glock43 and they work perfect. I installed a Larry vickers flat face trigger shoe in my 43x and I love it.

[@spankyboy123]

going to put an apex trigger shoe on mine .. also the rubber talon grips feel great

[@manuelleos1007]

My stock trigger leaves me a blister after about 50 rds. I feel like it pinches me. Swapped the trigger to an agency arms.

[@digitalpunk5365]

I finally got my first Glock. Never cared for them. Didn’t fit well. This one I picked up and bought. Brought it home and my wife even loves it.

[@Freko1970]

That sight radius is a fricking laser beam!!! Added purchase on the grip cant hurt either.

[@charlesmcclellan9970]

I love my 43X; definitely my fav! Great review!

[@MrWolfsmith]

I'm with you, the 43X grip is by far more comfortable than other glocks.

[@SMiller5488]

I am going to buy a 43x, hope mine has that nice 4.5lbs trigger

[@walterhwhite109]

Great video! Thanks for the info on the trigger. I was hoping it wasn't like the full size Gen 5s. I have a 43 and love the trigger.

[@sweetcostarica8714]

Have owned the G43 before the G43X I have now. I like them both both BUT the G43X is much more stable & a lot easier to shoot under stress.

[@kn7gez]

Nuts. I've discovered I'M dropping mag out firing 1st round if shooting one handed. Right and left. Never with 2 hand hold.

[@carlosfernandez1]

Besides explaining very well your shooting is excellent. (With you I don't need the CC).

[@MangoMike316]

Good review thanks!

[@TheHumbleMarksman]

48 shoots a bit easier but 43x is really good. My 48 is coming in a 6.25lbs

[@stacewils7240]

Not going to lie I a Sig guy, doesn't mean I hate other manufacturers. I was carrying a p320 compact 45acp which for the last year it is my truck gun, I replaced it worry a p229 legion which I put maybe 2,000 rounds of 357sig thru it. My p226 sao legion has over 7,000 thru it, it's by far out of my 8 Sig pistols is my favorite. Anyway I put the p229 legion in the safe & I'm now carrying a gen5 g19 MOS FS with f8 night sights & 6.5 trijicon RMR. I can shoot it just as good as my Sigs. Which we train & shoot alot. I've had it a month & have already put 1,500 rounds thru it. Anyway I've been wanting a smaller carry for a back up, I want the p365 which I can not trust with my life due to issues & was interested in the 43x but. After seeing Shawn Ryan's review I'm like ugh.... kzbin.info/www/bejne/onzdk36kftKfm7M

[@rorynelson7548]

I was in the same boat a few weeks ago but after watching and reading many more reviews, Shawn was the only guy I've found who's said that and many others love the 43x.

[@youcanrunnaked]

Stace Wils72 : That other "review" is a joke. Not one word about the 43x / 48 key features: the Slimline frame with 1-1/2 stack magazine. Plenty of words about the gun "shooting left:" he changed the sights but did he adjust for windage? No. Didn't bother to clean it but complains about slide not holding open one time; can't repeat it. So why mention it? The slide is not gritty! Either not cleaning it was interfering, or he simply couldn't distinguish the feel from the light weight. Yeah, he failed to mention both how thin and how light this gun is.

[@Kornholeeoo]

It’s good, not gonna knock it at all. But it’s not the best. The Sig P365 is my favorite. I know they had their problems too but I bought a stainless steel striker for mine and it runs all day long. Feels better in my hand. I kinda prefer the G48 over the G43X. But again, it’s a fine little pistol.

[@rodklomp5533]

Nice review..

[@zombiekiller5713]

I noticed my recoil spring isn’t in the lip of the barrel when I take the slide off. Does yours do the same thing?

[@robertbuchanan562]

Glocks way to compete with the Sig P365 is to make the grip as long as the 19!!!! VERY VERY INNOVATIVE GLOCK!!!!!! GET IN THE GAME PLEASE!!!!!!!!

[@jorgebarake8271]

This is a great gun. Better grip and better handle than the Kahr CW9.

[@aripsp]

sound like the guy in the video would like a 1911.. lol im only interested in this glock because of how similar the single stack feeling will be to a 1911. its two tone is also very beautiful.

[@robertlittle2429]

The trigger with ridges is for importation from Austria! Glock 42 is made in U.S.

[@Timothy1987]

My gen 3 glock 17 has a smooth trigger..

[@billybatesjr1845]

Regular Glock 43 parts fit in the Glock 43 x the magazines don't match though

[@r.minnis9722]

Billy Bates Jr The Barrel on the 43 and 43x are the same correct? Im just wondering about size for a compensator on the 43x

[@MrChris-bx7ss]

Bought one of these and love it. Would also like to see this size as a dedicated .22LR pistol with an aluminum slide.

[@matthewsprechet8022]

What state do you live in I live in Detroit every gun store from east and west has those guns in them you getting with night sights and everything I seen him as high as 5:50 and as low as $429

[@matthewsprechet8022]

I thought I would like the 48 x better but when I put that 43x in my hand if it's so balanced I'm buying one soon as I get my income tax order your ammunition from Underwood you get some hard-hitting super penetrating 9 mm deadly deadly

[@Timothy1987]

Any bullet is deadly...

[@joztunes69]

Are you able to hunt with the 9mm where you are from or live? I'm going to get the Glock G27 40 because we can't hunt with the 9mm caliber in ND

[@realhuntingtv]

Here in Michigan we have a 35 caliber or larger rule for deer. So yes, we can hunt with 9mm (.355) but I haven't and probably won't. I'd use it for small game though.

[@joztunes69]

@@realhuntingtv I read our ND proclamation and hunting rules, and we can hunt with the 9mm as long as we have a 4inch bbl

[@kurtp5379]

A G26 or G27 is a defensive pistol, not a hunting arm. Unless you can hit the 9 or 10 ring from 50 yard's you'd be a fool to even consider using it for that purpose.

[@joztunes69]

@@kurtp5379 Yes I know that, The barrel length is too short for handgun hunting in ND, ND requires at least a 4 inch barrel and .35 caliber on up, I want to get the G27 but not hunt with it, that would be a big fine in ND if caught hunting with a shorter barrel shorter than 4 inches

[@buddy9577]

Love mine

congrats great company popular cult following sets the standard great history, nothing beats a glock and yet Bersa did because this isn't anything but a Bersa BP9cc Clone, that came out six years ago, with a way better trigger, rail, almost identical measurements can be gotten for under $250 right now because they are fixing to update it even more Hickock said that the BP9cc is the gun that glock should have been making in his first review of the Bersa and he said that 5 years on his review and now glock finally did, and yet, now that they did BP9cc still has a proven product out there, price, trigger etc it just plain beats this model glock

[@georgiahomeboyy9855]

I actually don't like the trigger. its squishy and feels cheap.

[@georgiahomeboyy9855]

recoil seems harsh?

[@realhuntingtv]

No. It's about the same as a G26.

[@kurtp5379]

I shot a 43X and a 48 the other day. Enjoyed shooting both. Grip feels good in the hand. I will be getting a 43X sometime this year.

0:56. "anytime you can add a new visible safety feature... with the action I can easily see that there is no round there..." You claim to be a gun guy making gun videos on KZbin. PLEASE! You giving us real gun guys a bad reputation. YOU NEVER CLEAR A HANDGUN WITH THE MAG IN. Pull the darn thing out and look through the magwell. Sheeesh.
