IMO The perfect glock was the G43 with a G48 Slide, you can add a +2 extension or use those ETS 9-12rnd mags with a "X-Grip" to make it essentially the same as the G43X. When you want to go full conceal just use the stock mag, when you want to shoot better at the range use the extension.. Cant wait for them to make a G48 threaded barrel and custom slides

Here in CT, the 43x makes a very good choice for carry. Rather than being a true sub-compact, it's a compact with the 'wasted space' taken out of it since we're limited to 10-rds in the mag. Hit's a nice sweet spot in terms of smallness and shoot ability. I originally smirked at the idea but after picking one up and handling, I think it's a really good rendition. Just wish they'd make it with a black slide as I hate that color combination.

Bought my first firearm this year. M&P 9 2.0C. What a lovely gun. And my son's M&P Shield is just about as good. Shot my friend's Glocks. They just don't feel as good. So with many rounds down range and the finalizing of my LTC, it's time for my first EDC. After handling and trigger testing Sig, Springfield, Glock 43x, and the magnificent M&P Shield...I ordered the 43x. It didn't feel as good as the Shield to me, but it felt pretty good. The bigger grip, narrow stature, and larger capacity sold me. Especially knowing that there is an aftermarket 15-round mag that is still flush with the mag well. The bad sights weren't an issue as I ordered night sights anyway. I really didn't think I would ever be a Glock owner. But here I am.

Just got my G43X. Like every other Glock I immediately changed the sights for night sights and it is now a great gun. I was carrying the G26 but with an extended mag so I had a pinky finger rest. I think the G43X is about the perfect size for my hands. Fingers fit on the grip. took it to the range today and it shoots great. I plan for it to replace my G26 as a summer carry. Cooler weather when I can wear jeans I will carry G19. My 26 is now a second house gun as I can use the larger mags in it and it is still comfortable to shoot. I am really surprised how much lighter it feels in the holster, I was not expecting so much of a difference compared to the 26.
@MatterIsNotSolid4 жыл бұрын
1 year later. Purchased a 43 with 10 round extension. Couldnt live with my pinking hanging out and the 10 round mag defeated the purpose of the design. Picked up a 43x recently after SA finally released their 15 round mag. Current setup is TFX Pro sights, Talon applied grip, Pryamid trigger and match grade threaded barrel that adds about an inch in length over all. Threw a LaserMax slide spring laser on because I could. The trigger allows for faster smoother pulls. In the end I am shooting 4 inch groups at 10 yards as fast as I can pull the trigger. Granted I am an excellent shot to begin with and this is with top tier ammo ( Gold dot) but this gun shows my weakness and not any on its end. The only down side is with the mags. They didnt have any of the coated in stock and the ones I got do not eject on their own when the clip is empty. The only thing I can think of as to why you might carry something different is if you wanted to carry a different caliber. Otherwise I dont think it gets better than this.
@Billfish575 жыл бұрын
The G-43 with the plus 1 butt plate cures three problems, #1 better grip with room for the pinky but the better reason is the easier draw that but plate provides, if you can't easily pull it out fast every time, what good is it, the other is of course 7 +1 for carry is fine, carry an extra 7 mag and you are at 15 when 2 or 3 rounds is usually plenty for self defense. Keeping the gun lighter and smaller but easier to draw, the G-43 with the +1 butt plate is my favorite carry gun. BTW, more rounds is also more weight and that can diminish the times you carry and that's not good. Don't make your carry gun into something it's not supposed to be. Switch out the sights too.

Recently purchased the G43X and added some Talon grips, and it is now one of my favorite carry guns, rotating it with my original Shield. Both pistols replaced my original carry gun, which was a P2000sk, which I carried for years but found to be a tad on the heavy side. Nice vid...

love my G 43x with Shield Arms S15 mag. Sold my G19 and got my 43x the day my 15 round mags was delivered. Now my main carry pistols are the 43 and the 43x! 43x is a true Swiss army knife of a pistol!

The new Shield Arms mags make a great case for this and the 48, but I still carry my 19 Gen 5. I really like it.

My 43x is at Glock for the second time, because of that silver slide. That silver slide is horrendous, I am mystified that they gave me a brand new (different SN) 43x and pretty much the same thing happened and I sent it back again.

On these small pistols I like an I-Dot sight combo.

I have a 43, and despite having smaller hands, the trigger reach on the 43 was just too short for me. I put a Hogue sleeve on it which helps, but it just does not feel just right. Will be checking out a 43x at the next gunshow.

I’ve never been a Glock guy. I’ve been carrying a Sig or a 1911 for a while. Recently I tried the 43x and I love it. It feels like I’m not carrying anything and is easy to shoot. The trigger isn’t bad but I might get an aftermarket one at some point. Great gun though, it’s now my EDC.

I sent my G48 frame off to 5bgunworx for stippling and I bought two 15 round magazines from Shield Arms and now my G48 is my favorite carry gun of all time. 15+1 in a lightweight ,comfortable package. Love my Glock 48

I'm starting to like the 43x. I carry a 43 with a +2 baseplate, making the handle about the same length as the 19 and 43x, but it only holds 8 rounds. I do like that when I need deeper concealment I can put a flush fitting 6 round mag in it and conceal it better than a 43x or 19 could ever be concealed. The follower in the magazines for the 43 are ridiculously tall. If you sand them down so they're about half their original height, you can fit 7 in the 43 magazines and they still work reliably.

I didn't get the gun at first either - then I came to realize everything that you'd already said + the fact that if you do want an easier to conceal bandgun, I just feel like this does very well in filling that role - while not as small as the 365, it's a little easier to unholster quickly and get a better grip on it. I also replaced the sights w truglow sights & added a light. I actually like the stippling for being comfortable to wear

LOL!! Accidental open carry at Targe' Botique'... Surprised one of the Brier creek ninnys didn't have the manager get you out of there. I understand your point but I'll always support the OC folks in NC. I've done it once in a while but not on a regular basis.

I like the 43x since this video they now have a metal 15rd mag for this. But if a person has a shield they can add a hyve magazine extension and have a 10rd mag.

Shield arms (if durable) makes the G19 obsolete for carrying. The 19 is a wonderful pistol. But he should be bumped up to home duties and the 34x for edc now that u can 15 + 1 in it.
@Rubeless4 жыл бұрын
It’s not replacing my 19, but it is perfect for wearing in a belly band for the gym. I don’t like small guns, but this is good.
