Robar Glock 43

[@Weakeyedominant]

I thought that was Eric shooting at the start. Chads been enjoying the good life.

[@harrywisniewski5017]

Same lol

[@gimmejr]

Dad bod.

[@ayylmao2710]

same lol

[@HerbieGoober]

i was thinking the exact same thing.. lol

[@Croak1]

He looks healthier now though. And probably happier.

[@kmuntzert1992]

Ive had my USA stamped glock 43 for about a year and I carry it all day every day and I've never had any rust problems.

[@jayceek1972]

Thanks for the shout out Chad! Just had a customer mention this video before ordering.

[@staceysteele4333]

you can talk s*** about Chad and Eric but these guys are the people that keep our firearms in the frame that our forefathers meant to keep them in... our RIGHT to Keep and BEAR ARMS! Chad and Eric you can keep gaining weight or losing weight(it don't matter) just keep up the good work! I'll stand with you!

[@Ar3Od]

I love the one casing that landed in the ammo box at 15:16

[@B61Mod12]

So Robar has closed. Bummer, I was keen on that grip covering. Looks way better than stippling.

[@slickceretto9760]

RIP Robar. I really wanted a 43X with the Robar touch.

[@Geno-cm3xu]

I'm a certified Glock armorer and wanted to point out something for you...Great review of the Glock 43 and Robar upgrades, but...Unlike weapons like a 1911, the Glock slide stop is not designed to use as a slide release. According to Glock, doing so will damage the slide to the point that the notch on the slide will wear and the slide won't lock back on an empty magazine.

[@juanvargas211]

chad has been gradually gaining weight and eric has been gradually losing weight. 👍👍🇺🇸

[@Bynming]

This reminds me of the kinds of shit my grandma and my aunt talked about when they thought no one was listening. It usually started with "did you hear about X, she..."

[@juanvargas211]

***** I think your girl will disagree with me being a homo. Or is that your mom?

[@arthurrfraser1535]

probably the same person

[@juanvargas211]

Arthur R Fraser most likely

[@juanvargas211]

Colonel-Commissar Rourke the world is full of dicks and assholes, apparently he's both.

[@NsKrewtable]

I don't know why, but when I first watched any videos with Chad in it, I wasn't that big of a fan. However over the years, I've noticed that we share very similar tastes as far as firearms go. That alone made me change my opinion of him, but he's definitely grown and improved what he offers to videos. That being, clear reason behind his personal preferences, while still being able to give suggestions for options for people with differing needs. Love that Glock by the way!

[@montevallomustang]

I've been carrying my 43 for a year everywhere I go and I haven't seen that kind of corrosion my gun still looks new

[@indymac6]

Robar did a great job on my G30 back in 2001. I shot 2 tactical courses with it and not one burp. Beautiful and quality work.

[@scrapguy6816]

Everything you mentioned is relivent and true. But I personaly can not afford such modifications. I am lucky to afford the firearm and ammo.

[@diemarxism3198]

Chad's bulking up.

[@boss350z5]

having a wife that loves guns too... priceless.

[@plankhill]

11:39 .. pulling the shot. I found instantly the the Taran Tactical Innovations 2+ mag extension gives an excellent extra purchase on the weapon, and is smooth. The G43 is about a half a bullet away from being a +1 .. so +2 is not a big deal at all, but makes a difference for me.

[@Contest4Freedom]

Genuine, honest reviews I appreciate the work you fellas do thank you!

[@watchmanonthewall2151]

Robar has unfortunately closed.

[@zepedrofd]

I carried a european made Glock 43 for a year. Not just occasionaly but really all day every day. Where I live I don't get to sweat all that much but I have a skin that tends to eat the finish on metals (watches, belt buckles, etc...). Although holstering in the kydex did wear the finish, I have had no rust issue what so ever...

[@TexasGTO]

Carry my glock everyday. Never had rust issues. Is your gun in contact with your skin? Mine is on the outside of a undershirt but inside my overshirt.

[@SuperBigfish76]

Robar is a very high quality company! They did the most excellent work to my Glock 23. Absolutely love the grip textureing. I'm about to send another Glock to them very shortly now. Can't wait to get the next one dialed in. Thanks for the video, keep it up!

[@AC-pm7sn]

This is awesome Chad! Looks sweet. I love my 43. Makes me feel good knowing you trust yours too.

[@MRKDay01]

Looks like Chad's been eating good. Good for him.

[@TheCharlesAtoz]

Robar closed its doors.

[@carlosfernandez1]

Recently I added two + 3 Taran Tactical and a + 1 to carry my 43. The serrations on the front slide is ok and the overall looks is nice.

[@sniperbob11]

Sometimes shooting left, you may be using the tip of your trigger finger on trigger. try using more towards the middle of your finger pad or even towards the first knuckle on the trigger for those smaller frame pistols. might bring you right on target. let me know if it helps.

[@grimeye1]

I have had zero issues with my glock 43, I have been carrying it for allmost a year now too.

[@NabGer]

Damn I just noticed y'all have over 1 million subs. I remember when the top dog gun channels had like 30k subs

[@Spearfisher1970]

My 1993 Glock 2 doesn't rust, but that's back when they didn't cheapen up the process. Still, I like this Robar

[@funkyfresh2404]

I took the easy route and bought a Walther PPS M2. Night sights may be my only upgrade.

[@Vdub1910]

Funky Fresh i have one and it is amazing. just finding a goold holster has been hard

[@funkyfresh2404]

XxVeNoMxX I have two - a Black Arch Protos and a Vedder Light Tuck. They both work well but I carry the Vedder mostly.

[@GBGuns]

High Threat Concealment does a decent one

[@timwalker4424]

I like my N8 Squared Tactical holster with my PPS for EDC.

[@Joe.dirt7909]

I sent my G43 off this summer to Robar. Love the two tone finish....

[@greatbasintrapper557]

actually 147 grain HST no longer the heaviest load in that bullet type Federal now has a more controlled expansion standard pressure 150 grain HST load that has a average penetration in ballistics gel of around 16" with good expansion.

[@jenniferf.2727]

Did chad put some weight on , I remember him being real skinny

[@mikebenz86]

J Smith he'll yea he was real skinny before he became a celebrity lol that's the good life

[@paintballjunkie65]

J Smith bout to say the same thing

[@112233JORDAN]

thanksgiving will do that to you lol

[@Menaceblue3]

he's obviously bulking for winter

[@bc_usa]

J Smith cmon don't you like em phat?

[@Galamoth66]

great video man.love that gun!

[@GBGuns]

Robar did a great job! Congrats!

[@traviscoombes3578]

I fixed a Robar g19 for a friend. Very nice gun. Be just lubed the striker channel and it got gummed up.

[@GARYMANDIEVAN]

Chad I'm with you I have been carrying one since I bought it a few months back , Great looking G 43 Robar does awesome work

[@truebornsonofliberty554]

Use the magguts spring and the pierce plus one = 8+1 without any real extra length

[@matthewdyess8265]

you and Eric are beginning to look like twins

[@OldeSkool1]

Matthew Dyess Thought I was the only one who thought that.

[@Mrgunsngear]

I have a MR73 that really would look SWEET with some Robar love!

[@toamaiusdvignir9468]

Not trying to troll, however I can't understand why people choose this gun over other single stacks that have an extra round with a flush mag. I mean why even choose this over a Glock 26 which has a 10 round flush mag and other than being a little thicker it has the same demensions and conceals just as good. Also, your backup mag can be anywhere from anther 10 rounds all the way to 33 rounds if you have a method of carrying a spare that big. If single stack is the way you want to go there are guns just as thin and exact size with 7 rounds flush.... People act like this is the best thing since sliced bread. *shrug*

[@Slinkman2021]

I feel the same way. Same for the Glock 30, super compact 10 rounds of .45acp.

[@Brandonx-nb7rv]

Toamaius D'Vignir you can also buy mag guts. It's a product to add an extra round in your single stack mags. It has been 100% reliable and they have a 100% reliability guarantee or your money back. Just replaces the springs in your mag and gives an extra round

[@toamaiusdvignir9468]

Brandon_ 7.62x39 Yeah, but then mag guts for other pistols in same size gives you 8+1 just saying this is the only glock that isnt size efficient.

[@dirktucker77]

shorter, thinner, smoother! The g43 is all of those to me, over all the other single stacks I handled. sure it's only a hair thinner than a g26.. but isn't a g26 only a hair smaller than a g19.. and a g19 is only slightly smaller than a g17.. smaller, thinner, lighter=g43. taran tactical makes quality +1+2+3 mag ext..

[@toamaiusdvignir9468]

UserDeniedAccess I agree on some of your statements, however..... Glock 26 with a flush mag conceals ALOT better than Glock 19 in most carry positions other than appendix where the 19 conceals well. With that in mind, Glock 26 can do and ballistically perform as good as the Glock 19. It also accepts 15, 17, 33 round mags and shoots them relaibly. The shorter the grip is the less it prints. Giving up 5 rounds on a flush mag from the 26 is worth the concealment trade off. The 19 is the most efficient rounds to weight ratio of all glocks. Glock 26 is in the middle, but the compatibility with higher cap backup mags makes up everything you give up. Glock 43 is less efficient in rounds to size and cannot except bigger higher capacity mags. Mag extentions defeats the purppose of what the flush mag offers in concealment. Mag extension base plates should only be considered for backup use only. If you argue that you will carry appendix where the grip size wont matter, then why not carry a Glock 19 or something similar in size with most rounds in a flush mag?

[@Theloss52]

The LC9 was my first RUSTY carry gun, but I’ve never had this problem with S&W or Glock.

[@triggertherapist1955]

@iraqvetran8888 what's the cost threw robar for something like this?

[@silentbob267]

Robar has a pricing list on their website.

[@billsbullets]

Underground Metal

[@wenis02]

I was wondering the same thing, so I looked on Robar's Website. $1200-$2000 depending on what all options you get. Doesn't make sense to me on a $500 glock

[@silentbob267]

Obviously you can pick and choose options to make it cost more but judging by Robars price list and the options he shows in the video I calculated closer to $800 for what he had done.

[@jarredlkling]

I have had work done by robar, it seems the price has risen, I had a full size cz75 re done by them, I got the package that included coating the barrel, 1 mag and all internal parts, frame and slide, the works, I used np3 and after the shipping it was just over $400

[@gearrunner]

My wife took my Shield which is why I even own a 43. I like the 43 better I did put Taran Tactial extensions on the mags.

[@blessedbeyondbelief1532]

Chad you explain to us several times, and try to justify why you spent so much on that Glock 43. Its cool man, we get it. If I could afford it, I would do it to mine. Great vid as always. Thanks bro.

[@antoniustomoredjo5382]

ps, good review dude. I can understand you perfectly. My main language is dutch. And some of you americans have funny accent. Thank God there are still many of you guys that i can understand perfectly.

[@VeteranMob]

CHAD GETTING THAT DAD BODY lmfaoooo all love brother! hope everything good down there. Cheers from Canada.

[@DCavalcade]

I've carried a G26 at the appendix for years and I have never had a corrosion problem. Has Glock changed its manufacturing process?

[@BushRat253]

So what was the price tag for that treatment you had done to the gun??

[@dubvc1]

dang man you put on a little wait there

[@davelpz3340]

dubvc1 weight....if you're going to be a d$&k spell the word correct. Lol

[@whatthehell1338]

[@johnsykora439]

I think that he meant that th guys were taking their time to make the videos....

[@dubvc1]

[@2lbsTrigrPull]

Yeah he's transforming into a Larry Vickers. ^^

[@christopherhuffman3857]

Chad, You need to get some Tango Down magazine 2 round extension's.

[@bc_usa]

My EDC is the SIG P938..but I own a Glock 19 and a Glock 20. Excellent guns.

[@willheld3406]

Chad bullet weight question. I have went back and forth on what bullet weight to carry. As in 124g or 147g. I have shot both in my carry hollow points and round ball. I have also looked at ballistic gel tests for my carry ammo. I have found 124 performs better than 147. Sometimes with the 147g hollow points and ball ammo. The bullet holes where out of round. Making me suspect bullet tumbling at various carry ranges. I never had that with 124g hallow points and round ball. The ballistic gel test, I could find backed that up. That 124g out performed 147g hallow point in short barrel pistols. I believe in using good hollow points. You trust your life on the performance on that round. You have to know it will work if ever need it. What are your thoughts on that subject? That's for your time. Love your channel.

[@kingqp]

I don't see how people cc any other way than appendix either. And I carry a TP9V2 on my 160 pound 6 foot frame. Comfortable as he'll and printing isn't an issue. I guess if you have a gut or a fear of shooting your junk off then it'd be an issue maybe.

[@jessewhite-hargrove6902]

QpOfDaNorthLV yeah I got a a bit of a gut. can't do appendix. side right hip conceals my fullsize witness just fine with minimal print in improper dress.

[@kingqp]

Jesse White-Hargrove that makes sense. Are you carrying something full size?

[@jessewhite-hargrove6902]

QpOfDaNorthLV compact slide but fullsize frame tanfoglio/EAA Witness. CZ clone. it's a great gun. zero failures and dead accurate

[@kingqp]

Jesse White-Hargrove OOHHH nice. I almost bought one but when I went back for it, somebody had already gotten it. I hear good things about them. Kinda wish I would've just ordered it.

[@jessewhite-hargrove6902]

QpOfDaNorthLV For Sure, ordered mine on Gunbroker. local shops had used. guy sent me a special edition "grey ghost" by mistake and didn't charge me or want it returned. great gun. not many have even heard of them.

[@alexkong798]

Yes please do a ballistic gel test of both the hollow points I have both in my carry guns and would like to see how they compare to each other

[@melanmatias297]

[@ZhuJo99]

I have to wonder, what Glock did to tennifer process on Glock 43 that it allows to rust. Is this problem occuring only on US made glocks or on Austria ones too? I'm from Slovakia, Europe, an Austria neighbor country and we have allowed concealed carry (with licence, not hard to get). I have not seen this issues on any other Glocks. Truth is, I don't personally know anybody with Glock 43, most people here have either 19 or 17, some 26. I have to ask nexttime somebody in gun store.

[@sole__doubt]

The climate of where you live is why some people have rust issues and some don't. If you live in a really humid climate like I do, you will have these rust issues.

[@ZhuJo99]

Slovakia is part of former Czechoslovakia, that is Central Europe, very mild climate with no extreme humidity. Anyway, tennifer finish should prevent that, regardless of humidity. I can understand that when the Glock 43 would be digged in ground for few years without any conservation, but not like this.

[@sole__doubt]

ZhuJo99 I have a parkerized slide on my G42 and I haven't had any rusting at all from using a holster. However my friend who has a stock G25 has some real noticeable wear and mild rust from leaving it in a holster under his car seat for a couple years. In regards to the tennifer coating (hope I spelled that right) I have no experience with it, but have read good things, I need to research it, it sounds great. :)

[@FireheartSamurai]

Chad’s Robar G43 looks really nice. But it’s sad that the Glock original finish for the Gen 1-3 guns like the G17/G19 aren’t there for newer Glocks like Gen 4s & up.

[@Kh2456]

For anyone having problems shooting left with glocks: SINK MORE FINGER ON THE TRIGGER!! As much as you can with a proper grip. The whole "only use the pad of your finger" will make the problem worse.

[@johnpagdilao6075]

Kyle Hammer I've learned that too. I learned to use less booger hook.

[@WCGwkf]

Kyle Hammer if you can't shoot straight with your finger in any position you've got some fundamentals to work on.

[@Kh2456]

WCGwkf True but on Glocks, especially single stack pistols the tendency to pull the shots off target is pretty high due to their weight and small frames. Even really experienced pistols shooters have noted this. Larry Vickers covers the glock shooting left for right handed shooters in one of his videos and states how it shows up sometimes for himself.

[@WCGwkf]

I know it can help some people but in fight or flight mode are you really going to put your finger in that exact position? are you going to train enough to do that? and if you are you probably have enough training on fundamentals that it isn't importrant. It's really about learing how to pull the trigger straight back. I can shoot a pistol upside down with my pinky finger at 100 yards. Theres no thought process here that involves where my finger is touching the trigger. Trigger control is most important and to me it doesn't matter where you put it.

[@Kh2456]

+Matt Coffey yea man so true I've ran into so many guys with the sights almost hanging off the right side of the slide. "No my Glock shoots left it's not me" lol!

[@Drifting_Ghost]

How much did the Glock 43 cost? And would a Glock 17 work for personal defense as well as the G43? Is the G43 cheaper than the G17?

[@TommyboyGTP]

I don't modify my carry guns at all. The only exception were Talon grips I put on one of my pistols, and that's it.

[@durayenterprisesllc4440]

Tommy TwoGun bummer

[@toamaiusdvignir9468]

Eric, Chad why not be the first big channel to feature a fully Vang Comp Systems shotgun either a Remington 870 or Mossberg variant? I can't believe no big channel has contacted Vang Comp to see if you could test and evaluate it. I think people who watch the channel would love it. I don't know why Vang Comp wouldn't jump at the chance to have you guys do a video. Anyways, hope to see it soon.

[@almostghosts]

You guys should do a follow up on the Robar guns. So we can see how the finish has held up.

[@silverback3926]

what about the glock tenifer treatment? doesn't that come on the 43? rust on a glock

[@GunPartsbyTeddy1911]

Why not Pow'R Ball ammo in 9mm or Liberty ammo?

[@DonkeyBuns]

That corrosion seems strange. My g26 carries all day, sweaty and never an issue. Is their newer finish worse than the gen 3 stuff?

[@nickestnickthereis]

wow that accually looks pretty good as far as a glock goes

[@jamesnapier107]

Nice little piece Chad. I really like the 43. Eric and Chad great job, keep up the hard work. I enjoy watching y'all and hearing the information you guys give on firearms.

[@kiddriftking1]

I met them the other day!

[@Junior-zf5ed]

Absolutely hated my 43, just sold it to a friend and bought a shield. But I agree these microguns are hard to shoot when you have been carrying bigger guns for 20 years. I'm waiting on the new CZ-P10 to get released and I'm going to buy that and probably just keep the shield in my car

[@StPaul76]

Now that is a pistol I'd love to carry too. Very cool shooting tool.

[@khmergodhobbies]

The recoil looks really nice when you were shooting the 150g micros. I might have to pick up a g43 and some 150g ammo

[@jabberwookie1404]

So what is the Robar advantage other than the frame mod and stippling over a cerakote job and ghost connector?

[@dustinshadle732]

I found that I always get the best results with a 124 grain range hollowpoint in 9mm

[@EIPStudiosOhio]

on a little side-bar... MagGuts functions well in my G43..... adds a +1 using the same stock flat baseplate... Great video and review..... looks great, but not sure if it justifies the cost, of a perfectly functioning stock-setup platform as originally designed... Fun to watch as always.

[@tvo1988]

Did Robar do any finish to the barrel? I notice that it is not black.

[@dustinramose]

why would a particular type of ammo cause you to pull one way or another?

[@lwrcbcm8954]

You guys are really having erosion issues with the 43? I wear mine full time also, yet no erosion , on any of my Glocks. I'm surprised that's happening.

[@user-vd7jo8pe1z]

Noticed that the 43 hits that gofer MUCH harder than your buddy's PC Shield. I've watched him hit that gofer in two different videos now and it barely budges, while the 43 knocks it clean over.

[@thealarmclock9307]

I'm a Glock guy,. But my EDC is an xds mod 2 ... Ingot one in 9mm and 40.. It really is just a Glock with a grip safety.. and I gotta say, in my opinion the xds is built better than the 43 and the flush mag holds one more round

[@drmaudio]

It will be interesting to see how it holds up. I suspect very well.

[@davidengland7668]

On the robar website the Beavertail options small medium or large which did you choose for your Glock

[@DesertOwlForge]

Hey Guys, I have a question for you: how do you send/mail your guns? What courier service are you using? Thanks, Tim

[@Vdub1910]

how does it corrode lije that i carry mine every single day and its never dorroded. what kind of holster are you using

[@sole__doubt]

Different climates affect the gun differently, I live in the south and its really humid all year long so I've had these similar issues. Perhaps you live in a really dry climate, like out west, where those problems aren't an issue.

[@Vdub1910]

R Brandon P i live in northern utah. summers are hot with about 70% humidity and winters it snows like hell lol

[@newJDesigns]

Chad needs to do more videos

[@g0hl]

How is the stock trigger compared to the new one? I hate the trigger on my 43 and it's my daily carry. Looking for other trigger options, something that breaks a little more crisp and has less take up.

[@daspiper8941]

~I may send in my G42 for the full Robar treatment. It deserves a nice Christmas Present. ~Both my G19 and my G42 run Agency Arms Triggers.

[@USAMP926C]

Good video brother. Very informative.

[@atosales]

Glock should have never gone away from their tenifer finish, I will never buy another new version Glock until they change back.

[@ikappedkermit]

Hey Chad - was this an upgrade "package" or was each upgrade requested individually? Looking at the Robar site and trying to see what you had done...

[@joedoole3527]

Love the looks of this Glock and I am an overall Glock fan and daily carrier but with the 43 I just can't get into it. I simply don't shoot them well, so an M&P Shield9 serves as my auxiliary/backup duty. Prior to that it was a Keltec in that role and my main carry has always been a Glock 19 or 32 for years, so I was super happy when the 42 and then 43 finally came out. After owning and shooting it for 6-7 months I sold it. Just isn't a good fit for me and it hurts to say that! Anyway good video and that is one nice looking pocket Glock.

[@redline870]

I tried carrying appendix for 2 days and I don't know how anyone can carry that way

[@deltadragon2335]

I agree

[@YTBEN1045]

Heck I won't even try!

Does the finish on the slide make it slicker to grip for racking? Regular NP3 on slide would, would it not?

How much ? ..How long does it take?

[@daviddunbar7702]
