We take a look at the difference between the Glock G43X and the G43 to decide if the G43 is still viable. Of course it is, but we talk reasons and show options.

I’m with Jim Waldron on this. G43 was made for deep concealment. Anything made to add to the magazine length just makes it more difficult to conceal. The G43 is not a pleasure to shoot. What is it? A 7 shot, highly reliable, tiny weapon that is easily concealed and won’t let you down. People that complain about slide durability with the finish are worried about the wrong things. It’s a weapon designed for one thing and it’s not meant to be pretty.

i also liked the g43 for deep concealment but when i went to get one and seen the 43 x the more i thought about it i was pretty certain i would run tarran extensions anyways and can always take out use regular mag looked closer was like an inch difference not even for 4 more rounds plus i didnt have to buy the extension this is def a tug of war argument. i think either would be a good option told my father to get the regular 43 so we can swap out lol. wanted all black one but silver is growing on me plus its super tough dont know if the black will be like the regulars glocks finish

I have the Taran Tactical base pads whaich makes the 43 9+1 runs fine and does add a whole lot of size and the extra weight in the mag balances it a bit and makes for a better drop I also have the TRL6 light . The 43x doesnt make me want to change over but thats just me.

The g43x with a shield arms 15 round steel mag is my new carry gun. The longer g43x grip is more comfortable to me, but the thinner and lighter profile of the gun, with the same exact capacity as my big g19 is actually amazing to me.

Great video as always! As a smaller framed guy, I still love the deep concealment of my G43 with Taran mag extensions... and when my clothing isn't too light then it's a G26. I don't think the grip length of the G43x would work well for me and can't justify it when my G43 and G26 do the job just fine.

That's because Glock magazines are polymer with a steel reinforcement...Basically if you remove the polymer and take a thinner steel mag and expand it to the outer meassures of the original mag, you would end up with a double stack steel mag for a slim framed Glock....

As of today (actually yesterday), Magguts came out with a NEW replacement baseplate and spring kit. However, rather than being a +1 by only changing the spring... it is a +2 by replacing the baseplate and spring. It adds only a 1/4" to the stock baseplate. So... EIGHT +1 for the stock Glock 43.

I shot the 43x and I shot it left. Tried it several times on different days and it shot left every time. On the same range days I did not shoot left with any of the other pistols that I had with me including my G43. I don't know why. I also like the flexibility of concealment with the 43. I can go to 8+1 or 6+1 if needed. The 43x does not give you that flexibility. Yes, I know I'm loosing a couple of rounds vs the 43x, but I gain flexibility. I might get the 48 to play with the slides, but for me, I'll happily will keep my 43 with a Vickers Tango Down +2 extension. Thanks for the review!

One of the benefits I like about my G43X is the quick draw and presentation. I appendix carry and I like that I'm able to get a full hold on the grip and I can clear my holster and present alot faster than my G19 due to the shorter barrel. I noticed I started to not carry as often due to the bulk from my G19 but thing fits the bill. Either way guys, Glock now has options for any application...best all around I recommend a G19, but for something more carry friendly, the G43X is a great option. I'll sacrifice the 5 rounds if it means I'll actually carry the damn thing more often. And if you own the G43, I see no reason to upgrade. I would've picked one up but I hate my pinky hanging off, and/or pinching the shit out of it during reloads with a subcompact. Great video Sootch!

NOt sure, the sig p365 and the springfield hellcat are both same size(or within microns) of the g43 but with higher round counts. Now some argue its all about the number of rounds. i personally carry a taurus 856 6 shot revolver or kahr cm9 which both have lower round counts than the new wonder micro nines, however my hellcat is on its way, should i feel the need to go into an area where the need for higher round count may be needed (ie: the cities)

Being a big guy, with big hands I definitely liked the feel of the 43X over the 43. By the time I get more mags and what not for the 43, I could’ve just bought the 43X. Plus the 43x will still hold one more than the 43 with a +3. So it was a no brainer for me. I’ve dumped 100 rounds since i bought it last night, and so far I’m in love. Hopefully the 15 round mag comes back and I’ll have basically a G19 slim.

Sootch, you can do the same kind of switch with your C-Z75 and your PCR! PCR slide on top of the full size frame, compact pistol with 17 rounds, works real good in the waistband, try it!.......Paul

If the finish of a gun is a concern? Send your gun to Robar & get the NP3 or NP3+ finish applied; this stuff is tough as nails.

Cerakote, durakote and the likes will all hold up if done correctly. The Key here is prep work, and light multiple layers as well as using adhesion promoter etc. I have never had any issues like many of the youtubelandia due to my background in autobody. Also, if possible baking it on is a much better method and you can build your own for firearms just search some diy designs on here. I have the g48 and have the shield arms s15 15rd flush fitting magazines after bing on their preorder list for 4 months or so and they run flawless. I also have the g43 and swap the slide and put it on my g48 lower and get a g43x. I also swap the g48 slide on the g43 lower and get a crazy looking hybrid...i like it and all function flawlessly as do the magazines. Just thought id share...Thanks!

Sorry if it’s a dumb question but could I get the G43 length with the G43X height by using a barrel and slide from a G43 and a receiver from a G43X?

Been wanting a single stack glock 19 for ages. I carry the epic HK Uspc .45 and a full sized SIG 1911 but I have to admit on off days and days where my back and neck are bad... I love the HK p30sk, shield 9mm performance center, and glock 19 and 26. I prefer single stack with the exception of the somewhat bulky HK uspc.45 (benefits outweigh any downsides esp getting it for $600). My 1911 is all steel and high slide SIG but carries very well....again a revolver or g48 are tempting, both even, backups sint bad for carry lol Anyway thanks for the review

Of course the +1 only gets you to 8 rounds if you chamber, which still falls 3 rounds short of the 43X & P365, but I guess if you can't get it done in 8... Do you have the pearce +1? Can you speak to the quality and function?

Reading the comments, I also came across a company called MagGuts, supposedly gives you +2 without adding hardly any extension at all.
