One important difference that you didn’t address is grip circumference and trigger reach which is why some are willing to give up the 5 extra rounds and choose the 43X over the 19. It has nothing to do with capacity or grip length or overall thickness. The grip circumference does make a substantial difference to those with smaller hands and the ability to get a proper grip on the draw and finger placement on the trigger which is essential to recoil control and accuracy. Just food for thought. Nice comparison, hope this helps understand why some choose the 43X.

I have both and choose to carry the 43X because it is easier and more comfortable to carry. I'm not as concerned with capacity as I am with comfort and weight; every ounce matters and every quarter inch of balk matters. It will probably never be needed and if it is in all probability only a few shots will be required. When I carried the G19 I would tend to leave it home, but the 43x is a good compromise that I will actually carry and I shoot it well. Sometimes I even grab and go with my G42; an extra mag is easier to carry also. All of life is a compromise.

I own both. There is a company "Shield Arms. They make a 15 round magazine that fits & works in the Glock 43X. Shield reccomends that you switch out the mag release as theirs is metal, just like their 15 round mag. The Glock mags are plastic & may be chewed up by the shield mag release. in all the shield package -1 15 round mag & their mag release is about 70.00- The 15 round Shield mags run 50.00. I shoot the best with my Glock 26 gen 4. I do not know why, I just get better placement.-Great video. I am going to subscribe to this channel. I just found out about it tonight-God bless.

Im late to this thread, but i have both. My 43x has the shield 15 rd mags. They both have their place. When im in shorts tshirt and flip flops, i appendix carry and the 43x is the clear winner. Also in a suit, ill shift it over to the 2pm position. Again how thin it is makes a difference especially in slacks and a dress belt. This is where the thinner slide really comes into play. In the fall/winter in jeans flannels with a proper gun belt, glock 19 all the way. When i go to the mall or theater i bring the 19. The 43x is too snappy and thin and short of a barrel (i over grip sometimes) for me to feel comfy taking shots over 15 yards with it. Probably a training / range time issue. The glock 19 i feel more than comfy taking 25+ yards shots with. End of day its like a set of golf clubs. Each has their purpose. When im camping or in the woods, i carry my 30sf with more of a punch.

I look at it this way, if I am protecting myself and my family why would I not want the most protection I can for conceal carry.

It depends on how you are built. If you are thin and you have smaller hands then the 43x fits you better. They are not exactly the same size. The 3/4" longer barrel of the 19 sometimes peaks out from under my shirt if I reach for something or bend over. I never want anyone to notice that I am armed. Sometimes the 19 feels a little too heavy and it pulls down on my pants. The 43x is 6 ounces lighter. I carry all day, every day and iIt makes a difference. The flatter gun rides closer to my body. It prints less. I can carry an extra mag on my offside to balance the load on my belt if I want too. That's 20 rounds on tap if I need them. We all make our choices based on the way we go about our lives. Nobody said you have to like it, understand it or use it yourself. If you want to carry a desert eagle, knock yourself out.

When you buy shield maflgs amd modify the gun you could already own a G19

I think the Glock 43x Mos replaces the Glock 19. It's much smaller and also hold 15 rounds

O. You have to use aftermarket mags. And what is the advantage of carrying a conceal gun you make more bulky by adding an optic you will never efficiently use under stress when you need it

Idk why ppl are so hung up on everything having to be oem parts. Yeah when it comes to internal parts I don't mess with but psa makes some great 15 mags that run just as good as oem mags. 43x all day my favorite carry

It gets tiring people like you one size fits all, I won't what fits( my ) attitude what I think is better fore me, I own both guns and both are accurate shooters, my 43x has the shield arms magazine 15 rounds,I have shot about 500 rounds with these magazine, I have had gun for 6o years, I carry different guns for different occasion 😅and I bet their are many people that like the 43x. This one size fits all is outdated 😮.
