Glock recently released their new Glock 48 and Glock 43x which have the most note worthy change of increased magazine capacity. While I do think these are great additions to the Glock line up, I'm reluctant to fall in love. I have collected a good amount of G43 magazines and installed magazine extensions to increase my magazine capacity. Because the cost of these sub-compact magazines is already so high, I would hate to have to spend a fortune in stockpiling new magazines for a shiny new G43x or G48. As I'm trying not to jump at the next shiny thing, and remain somewhat of a responsible adult, I thought I'd take a moment to talk about magazine extensions. In this video I show the +2 Vickers base pads made in collaboration with Tango Down and also the +2 and +3 Taran Tactical base pads.

[@mccoybyz1099]

Truly one of my absolute favorite KZbin channels, John is so good at breaking things down in a way that is much easier for the average guy or gal to understand. There are those of us who are into the gun, self defense, shooting sports world, or are LEO's and/or military and understand tactical/firearm jargon. However there is many who don't and imo get put off by not knowing what the hell is being talked about and that's not good for a number of reasons and that is why I highly recommend his channel and I myself love to watch the vlogs because it's so much more relaxed & not overbearing and it's really awesome to see a guy who knows his shit inside and out share the wisdom he gained from extensive sof training and being deployed multiple times to the "Middle East". Aside from all the gun stuff John is a incredible person and he teaches other things sometimes pretty much by mistake but are just as much if not more valuable than the gun stuff, things like being a good man, morals, respect, keeping your word, being a good father, husband, and neighbor, Civic duty and basically just don't be a dick!! I admire John for many reasons but most of all it's because of how humble he is and his drive to help others!! Bravo buddy you success is well deserved!!

Whatever sportsman guide is giving you to be a channel sponsor, it’s not enough. Well done guys, well done. I agree completely on the 43 vs the 43x/48. You can’t make the 43x or 48 shorter and with the standard 43 it’s size can be configured to your personal needs. Keep up the great vids.

[@THutch556]

prod gbc True, the Glock 43x/48 would work out well for the states that only allow 10 rounds.

[@michalturb8895]

48 maybe...but 43X is not make a sense... In my opinion... I have 43 with 3 magazines - standard (it is too small for my hands), longer one and one with extended mag plate (+2).

[@mcb2757]

Yeah but realistically the 43's capacity isn't comparable to the 43x unless you want to spend tons of money putting a +3 extension on every 43 mag that you have. So it's a little misleading trying to sell the 43 as having only one less round capacity. Go with the 43x if you want to carry with more rounds.

[@randomidiot8142]

I'm surprised there still aren't guys cutting shield mags and 43x/48 grips down to 10 rounds, and no one is mentioning or asking about shortening them. This would take them into the 365 'two finger grip' size.

[@gunmonkey6545]

I had the G43 with Taran +2 pads, but after shooting the G48 I sold it to a buddy. While I never had a failure with the extended mags, I prefer the factory mags. I understand those who are going for more concealability, but I’m willing to trade that for getting a full grip (that’s just me). Also, I was blown away by how good the G48 fit my hard and how well I shot it. Bye the way, that intro was hilarious.

[@Raymo2u]

I just use the ETS 9rd Mags in my G43 with the X-Grip, it essentially makes the G43 a G43X with the option of going deep concealed with a stock mag. I do plan on getting a G48 Slide to slap n it in the near future.

To accomplish the same # of rounds with the 48 I'd have to carry at least two spare mags (the 12rd). *One tip many with 43's don't know is the Maggut(com) Z-spring with follower will allow 7rds in the stock 6 mag. 7+1 in that small of form factor still hasn't been beat.

[@formerpilgrim4934]

The G 48 I have runs excellent, I still shoot the G 19 better, but there are people in my family who can’t reach the trigger properly on the 19... They find the 48 utterly fantastic.

The weight of the base plate it going to have little effect on an empty magazine. The problem is the palm putting pressure on the base plate of a firearm with a short grip. Unlike the 43x.

[@eternalstudent11]

Hi John! Love your videos! Wanted to ask if you'd considered the impact of the 48 specifically on the market for those with small hands. I don't have small hands, but I have friends with small hands. In the past, the most comfortable (9mm) guns they've been able to shoot well have been the size of the S&W Shield and the Glock 43. There were also the Sig 938, or maybe the Kimber Solo, Evo, or Micro 9. Then the Sig 365 came out, and that went a long way towards capacity improvements, but they all still have at least one issue: Easy to hide means harder to shoot well (if only slightly). Shorter barrel length means less muzzle velocity and less steady bullets, but more important to me is the shot sight radius. Now the 48 has come out, and for my money, it's addressed every single problem small-handed people have. It has 10-round magazines, it's nice and slim, and it has a good long barrel and sight radius. As a bonus, it is entirely feasible to put the barrel and slide of a 48 on the frame of a 43, effectively enabling you to tailor your capacity and grip length for concealment or magazine considerations. Performance Center has also come out with extended barrels and slides for the Shield, and I'm excited about that too. Anyway, just thought you might enjoy such considerations. Keep up the awesome work and thanks again!

[@bunnbert8306]

Vickers +2 worked for me. I wasn’t quite as professional (or quick) putting them on though. Mr. Poet, thanks for the vid.

[@gunmonkey6545]

You could also go with a G26 and they will take all the mags you already purchased for your double stack GLOCK’s. I had the G43 and G48 and ended up selling both because I kept going back to my G26. Also, I found that as far as concealment goes, the G48 was not noticeably different than the G19 and likewise for the G43 and the G26. Just some thoughts from someone who has owned and carried these guns.

[@dannywa6780]

[@davesnothere688]

Pearce is awesome, nice pinky grip and a plus one. Not to mention it's only $10. For reasonably priced plus 2 & 3 extensions, at $10 and $11 respectively, check out ghostinc.com. The kits include springs too. Ghost Inc. is popular for their ghost connectors, but they also sell a bunch of other accessories for Glocks. Most of which are reasonably priced, unlike grossly overpriced Taran Tactical equipment. One thing I have discovered is the fact that not all Glock 43 magazines are created equally. My wife and I each have a Glock 43 and each one of us has a factory mag that drops free, the other one does not. A common fix, even on Glock 19 magazines, is to use something like 220 or Emery sand paper to simply sand the sides down, taking care not to round edges off, simply wearing them in and they will eventually drop free. The other bonus is the fact that my magazines drop free with plastic extensions, not having to deal with the extra weight of aluminum extensions. And the aforementioned expense!

Agree on the Pearce + 1, not only is it the same size but it has a matching texture to Glocks grip.

Soon to be a felony 10 + in Illinois. Basically if you have a Glock 19 you just can't put a 10 rounder in it. If it will take a 15 rd magazine-registration and $25.00 fee. SB 107 is going to cause a lot of problems. Illinois is also trying to pass an access to your social media accounts before they will issue an FOID card. Everything is starting to suck in this state!

Bad news man

[@mattliptrot7052]

I live in Illinois and it sucks

[@chancecarlton8403]

That's why I don't cross the river anymore. I used to have to for work occasionally but not anymore so I steer clear. We used to apple pick and stuff over there as well...used to.

I cant wait until there is zero gun violence in Chicago now! .... Smdh, left Pekin and landed a southern state. Best decision ever

[@joshuaanderson2256]

@Ghost Technically Illinois is still free as of now... There arent any assault weapons bans there yet...

What's up John. For what it's worth, and Evan's continued brilliant acting aside, l'd much rather have a WPS discount code...

[@thecohronchannel6604]

" The width doesn't matter as much as the length does." LMAO 🤣

[@fisher7897]

I honestly just watch your videos for the Sportsmans Guide plugs...

[@oregonoutback7779]

Yup, kinda like the super bowl.

I agree, as a fellow skinny fellow I've been a preferred user of the Glock 43 over the 43x and 48 since the 6+1 capacity is much easier to conceal and prevent profiling through the shirt than the other variants that have the minimal 10+1 in a longer single stack mag. For my backup mag I have the FAB Defense +4 G43 mag extender to give me those 10 round capacity that I can use if more rounds are needed during an encounter but I can still keep my conceal-ability at the 6+1 mark.

I'm really excited by the m&p shield plus, because it fits all my shield holsters, with 10 or 13 round mags the same size as my m&p 7 and 8 round mags
