Glock 48 Comparison & Review 🎈
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 жов 2024
- John carries the WAR POET pistol for his EDC, however on office days where he wants to maximize comfort a little more, a smaller gun can be a nice change. Historically, this smaller gun has been a Glock 43 or a Sig 365. Both of these are good options, however the ability to add a red dot sight to the thin Glock 48 has given John recent pause. There's also the story of how John got this particular G48 from a student of his who did NOT want to part with it. Check out the video.

"I like to have more party favors to distribute..." Had me rolling 😂 what a great line
That was a great comment for sure!
I concur. Better to have more than less. People who say you only need 6 rounds are usually revolver fanatics. Not realists. And though I've never been in a gunfight (hope I never do) and never having been a military or LEO...common sense tells me in a real situations chances are we WILL MISS the target with a few shots. We might trip over something on the ground. Stumble. Etc. More importantly...we don't know exactly how many bad guys there are and where they are. jSo more is always better (I'm assuming)...
Carrying. All for it. But for me only on certain days (e.g. going to/from the range--chance of some thug waiting for unsuspecting people leaving the range to follow them home and get their guns). What I have a problem with are the gun nerds who carry guns as a fashion statement. :) Not so much a problem exactly but...does get to me just a little...all those John Wick wannabees. Guys that were never military or LEO's. If you have a good reason to carry (e.g. active plain clothes detective, secret service, FBI...etc.) sure..of course.
I don't like thinking ai NEED to carry every day every time I leave the house. I don't live like that. If that day should come then it's time to move.
That was funny!!!!
Additional party favors is why I went 365XL 12+1 and a factory 15 round spare on my other hip in case of a malf or more folks want to join the party. Oh and I topped it with their 6 MOA red dot cause my eyes are better than they were, but still not great. Smaller than a G48 at about the same weight with more ammo and I can get my little finger on the bottom of the grip.
@@AGC828 Having been LE, I'd say the majority of people I've come into contact with, carry a firearm for their personal defense. I'm sure there are people that like to open carry to look "cool."
I'd just like to say that your list of reasons are pretty narrow for someone to carry a firearm. I no longer work in that field but still carry every day, and encourage others to do the same. You don't have to be police or military to care about personal protection.
Also, your comment about not feeling like you "NEED to carry" every day. I think it is a bit optimistic/naive to think that if "that day comes" you'll be alive to have the opportunity to move somewhere you feel safer. If you're trained and competent enough to carry a firearm, carry it. You might only get one chance to not carry it.
I’m a teen who has very little family history in firearms, but I’m really interested in being a firearm owner in the future. Thanks a ton, John. Your videos have taught me more than any other channel or website. God Bless!
My dad was a LEO in the 70's before he met my mom, he left that industry after a few years but was able to retain his duty revolver. When him and my mom got married she told him to get rid of the revolver because she didn't want any guns in the household while they were raising children so needless to say I was never exposed to firearms until adulthood. I initially bought a Glock 23 Gen4 out of necessity, that's what started my journey into guns. Just use common sense when you are around them, know the 4 rules and learn as much as possible about safety and how to be effective.
“...and remember, guns are pretty dope.” Roger that John
I'm not crying I just had something in my eye.
I am the funniest UA-camr of all time I watched my latest video and laughed for 69 minutes straight I am extremely funny I am dangerously funny and I have two girlfriends who think I am extremely dangerously funny and they watch all of my videos thanks for listening dear jaref
Why are they so cool tho?

Just bought my first AR and you’re not going to believe this but as soon as I got home a guy stole it and went out on his boat and sunk it....
That’s awful but hilarious timing.
Where was your gun?
I took mine to the river and lost it. I didn't think the boat would tip.
Happened to me too man. I hate this shit!!!
I think they should come with the warning CAUTION WILL SINK on them.... would have saved mine from the accident
I just picked up my Glock 48 yesterday and it fits my We the people holster I used for my M&P shield plus...cool I saved money
now I just need to train with it .
my G48 is All stock and all Black
just the way I like it...I decided to stick with Iron/plastic sights because I'm old School

John: Enter the Glock 48!!!
*Shows a frankengun that used to be a Glock 48 but is no longer anything like a Glock 48*

Victor Escamilla why is that?
I’ve started carrying a G48 and recently got the new Holosun 507K optic for it. I carried the G43 for several years, but I am shocked at how much better I shoot the G48 than the G43! I added the Apex trigger and my shooting improved even more. With the Shield Arms 15 round mags I have the capacity of a G19 in a slimmer, lighter package. I’m very happy with the G48.
Same with the 48mos … any problems with the S15 mag ?
@@marksc1929 None. Both mags have worked flawlessly.
Did you swap out the mag release?
@@N3wbMa5t3r Yes. I use the aluminum mag release from Shield Arms.
Got a 48mos few weeks back to may bad reviews on them shield mags I went Psa not changing my mag release
I've been using G19 as my EDC since 2006 . The G43x has made me wanna switch and the G48 did make me switch. Def gonna be pre ordering G48 MOS so I can get 508T..
Caleb is a good dude man ..

@@Kevinj36541 Surefire has already announced a 350 lumen light for the G48 MOS, and you can be sure Streamlight and others will follow suit
508T won't fit the G48 without an adapter plate, and it will be quite wide compared to the slide.
J P the Streamlight TLR-7A Sub has been leaked on the web and will direct mount to the G48 MOS. Supposedly the same output of 500 lumens
@@ssgslaughter4639 That would be awesome if it turns out to be true. I like Surefire, but I can't justify the cost of their new micro light
Im an old timey kind of guy and have carried my CZ 75D PCR at 4 oclock. Sometimes inside the waistband, but mostly outside. My T shirt covers it nicely either way. Love the channel John. God bless you all in whats coming.
Carry a grenade. They don't print nearly as much
For those of us on a smaller budget, the Taurus G2C provides a really good balance between cost, reliability, and capacity, 12+1 in a compact frame, I have carried mine for nearly 2 years now
Just bought a g48. Liking it so far
Just yesterday I sold the G30S that had been my EDC for lots of years and purchased a G48. Wow, it's like carrying a feather compared to what I am used. I have AmeriGlo Night Sights, Talon Pro Grips, S15 Mags and a Concealment Express IWB holster all on UPS trucks. Ammo was no problem at my local gun shop where I got a brick of Winchester White Box FMJ and a couple hundred rounds of Federal Hi Shok to get started until I can snag some HST or Gold Dot.
With age comes wisdom so getting old is a blessing, so we are blessed some are more blessed they have a family and kids, and some even have grandchildren.
Clip at the end was worth the wait
Awesome lineup!
Still not enough to sway me from my 17+1 VP9 and my 15+1 Sig 365 XL, two of the best out of the box triggers and most accurate I’ve held.
Still, I wouldn’t mind adding these to the arsenal, just in case. 🙂
I had the vp9 tactical, man I loved that gun. Gave it up to do some work on our house but it worked out in the end.
I have a 43x and have been super happy with it. It's pretty easy to conceal and but big enough to fight with. Yay for that.
You forgot one of the most important things about Surefire: made in the USA.
Most important thing about Surefire: they *DO NOT* honor civilian warranties. Their stick answer is 'Our stuff doesnt break, so it must be counterfeit'
Pastor Glock it’s in the same ball park as other high end US made lights.
@@springbloom5940 So how do they respond when you bought it FROM them? Lmao
Someday soon we'll all look back at the g43,g43x,g48,p365,hellcat era like a weird mass hysteria and live in happiness with our glock 26's
When I scroll over the thumbnail and see John shooting with no sound I imagine him saying Pew, Pew, Pew...PEWPEW
I am a Glock 43X with the Shield 15 round mag which fits flush. You should also consider the Taurus G2C. Taurus has 12 rounds and f5 round mags which equal the 43X in size...striker fired...and multiple 15 and 17. round mags from Taurus. The cost for the pistol around $270 bucks. Worth checking out...Taurus seems to have turned around it's pistol manufacturing!

Aspiring to be the Gray Man, I don't usually post comments online but here goes; I'm a WPS noob but I'm hooked and I absolutely love what you guys are doing. The info you're passing and the levity you pass it with are beyond entertaining. It took me three or fours videos to determine with some degree of confidence that John was prior military. Being a vet myself, I noticed that the way in which he speaks and carries himself are very similar to the folks I'm familiar with and used to being around. Not sure which video it was but he finally dropped a clue that attested to his service(Thank you, John for serving my country.) I still don't know which branch or what his MOS was but, if I had to guess, I'd say that, judging by his demeanor, the way he speaks and carries himself and his overall knowledge of and proficiency with various handguns, he was most likely a spec ops dude, perhaps even a SEAL. Regardless, bud, you're my kind of dude.
Keep up the videos, my brother. Best wishes and continued safety to you and the crew. And, I totally agree with you "Guns are dope:...
Well he was a Army Ranger and I believe he mentioned “selection” in one video I saw which would mean Delta possibly?
Somehow I think John is responsible for the subtitle “Holy Smokes!”
Love all you do man. Please don't ever stop!
Just got the 43x. Glad you tried the 48. Was really hoping you stayed with it after the Llod video you had it. Shield arms mags baby.
Send a fellow American the right to self defense.
I bought the G 48 as well. I have two of the Shield Arms 15 round magazines. I absolutely love it. It's exactly the same height and length of my all time favorite Glock 19 without the extra thickness. Very comfortable for carry. I still switch out between the 43, 48, and 19 depending on what I'm wearing.
John: “How would you take out that bunker?”
Evan: “Toilet bomb.”
He’s not wrong you know.
Call an A-10....
..more specifically, I would employ a porta-a-poddy (after a music fest) with a C4 sheet mounted halfway through the waterline.

P365XL comes with optic cut. And they make a dot for it that is slick. Same round count as G19 and much smaller. If you liked the small 365 you should like the XL even more. Handle can be switched also with the XL or regular.

You guys ever seen someone get robbed by a dude with a $3,200 rifle?
No, now that you mention it..
The Idea seems about as legit as a hyena strutting around downtown streets, in gold jewelry & a gem encrusted collar..
And if you ever see that, you already know its fake..or stolen.
Time to man up & become a 'Rifle Recovery Specialist' like that US Marine protecting his media crew, and the rest of the city too, by recovering stolen, incompetent cops firearms..directly from the hands of criminal rioters & looters.
But, No..can't say that I really ever have..
Yes. Happens all the time. See FBI HRT and Randy Weaver, LaVoy Finnicum, or many IRS raids. Usually the guy is a bit more kitted up, though.
Liam Flanagan..
No, I have not seen that.

Yup, Hyenas with Bling are not needed..any old gun will do..especially in the hands of someone ready, willing & able.
Crims aren't scared of guns..they're scared only of folks who will very quickly & determinedly use them, on THEM!
That's what keeps 'em away..and only for as long as it takes them to get desperate or arrogant & contemptuous enough to try it on anyway regardless..
Just like our politicians are doing right now..
I'm old as well. I just had to remember back to my early days as a police officer in Washington DC carrying a six shot S&W revolver with two extra speed loaders. I never felt under-gunned. I carried a five shot S&W revolver with two speed Bianchi Speed Strips off-duty. I never felt under-gunned. Now that I'm retired I carry a Glock G43 with a flush six round magazine along with at least one extra magazine fitted with Teran Tactical extension for a nine round capacity for a total of 16 rounds. Present times may be a lot crazier than they were back in the 80's but I really like the G43.
S15 Magazines for the 48/43x is a game changer.
If they’d make some more of them that would be awesome
Bingo
That’s just the no doubter, Shield Arms 15rd mags with a metal mag release is tough to beat now, anyway. Preference is confidence building, says a whole lot now don’t it? John is just a poet with firearms explanations is he not, and we are bout the same age, I’m quite a bit bigger than him, but he’d kick my ass so fast I honor his opinion, and I honor him. Appreciate our Vets folks, you have no idea what this mans accomplished, neither will any of us. It’s classified, as it should be. Just an impressive data breakdown across the board, he’s just good. A born leader, and God Bless our troops. He has added joy to a lot of lives in more ways than will ever be measured. I promise next time you encounter a vet, approach him in a “corona virus intelligent world we live in now” and just relay a heartfelt thank you. I promise you, do it respectfully, but it never gets old when it’s real, from the heart, and so deserved. They’ve endured altered lifestyles putting it mildly to make the rest of us sleep safely at night. And don’t discriminate, men and women have sacrificed unbelievable life moments keeping us safe, and they wanted to do it, and they do, did, and deserve that thank you. Warriors, true heroes, I love my brothers and sisters who’ve done so much more than most will ever know. Change that aspect, learn a little about these “tours/deployments” it sure makes me feel better about myself. Thanks for reading another way way too long reply.
John God bless you and all of humanity. You are so relatable to me and I'm sure many others. Thank you for the presentation I'm a p365 guy for 2 365 days out of the Year already. I dig my Glocks and I love them. Along with my CAA mck along with my Gen 5 50 drum 30 mag and three that came along with it.

Two guys with gun envy...wasn't that the 11th commandment? "“Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s pistol.”"
I shot my glock 48 for the first time today. Originally bought it for concealed carry. I was able to shoot about 4 inch groups at 15 yards with the standard glock sites. It's a really nice handgun
Let's talk about shot placement on that paper target there ...
I appreciate you pointing out all the custom work on the Glock you're promoting. I've lost count of the amount of "glock is better" comparative arguments that are based on heavily modified glock pistols.
I've been carrying a G48 since even before the Shield Arms mags came out. I liked the platform even when it was 10+1, but of course I now carry it with SA mags and SA mag release. I absolutely love it. It's my go to EDC CCW pistola, and has been flawless in reliability/function. I also like that I can carry it in my favorite holster, a Tulster IWB complete with a Streamlight TLR-6 weapon light. All this in one very thin, light, "compact" package, but without sacrificing any round count from the standard G19 and still Glocktastic. Couldn't be happier with this gun and the mags.
Me too! Ive said for 10yrs or more, " if Glock ever makes a single stack 19 size gun, I will buy it" and they did...and I do. Love the s15 mags too. I can see smaller hand men and women cops using them also. Even my 14yr old daughter can handle it.
what's the main differences b/w G48 and G19? I'm still debating which Glock to get b/w 17, 19, 43, and possibly 48. I'm a medium sized hand and a sig user. My first gun was S&W MP Shield 2.0 Performance Center so finding holsters or such has been a bit awkward.
@@drakke125Channel height and length, the 19 and 48 are the same. width is where they differ. 48 being skinnier. stock glock mags are 10rd, but shield arms makes metal 15 rd flush mags, the ones John used in this video. they also mag +5 base plates for a 20rd mag, but they are pricy.
so a thinner 19, with the potential for the same capacity, with the right mags. thinner making it easier to conceal. i have both, and i love my 48, my 19 is my "OWB, full kit" gun.
@@drakke125Channel The 48 is the same slide length as the 19, the 43x comes in a little shorter, at the 43 length. I have the 43x, with an S15, the metal mag catch, and an S15 with the +5. Bravo Concealment Torsion holster. I'm a bigger guy at 6'2", 250lb, and I love carrying this rig. The full size guns will be easier to shoot, and have less felt recoil and muzzle rise. I debated getting a shield vs Glock. Glad I took the glock because more ammo capacity. Those Shield Arms mags are really nice, they work well. G43 holsters are all over, and most fit the 43x.
I carry a sig 2022 in a leg holster when out hunting. For ccw guns I use a Ruger lcs9 and a Springfield mod2 40cal. Nothing fancy but they work for me.
I'm waiting for my Smith and Wesson M&P 2.0 Compact Optics Ready 👌
So sad i have one without the optics cut.. s&w and glock got me good with the 2.0c and g48 😔
Just got a Glock 43x MOS with a Holosun 507K, XS F8 sights, Shield arms mags and mag catch, and Talon grips. Liking it so far. The new Talon grip Pro texture was a bit uncomfortable against the skin so I sanded them with some 220 grit sand paper now it feels amazing, like velvet.
Love ya John! God & Guns! Ya just had to find a way back to Glock but you missed the P365 XL... Would have been great in between the P365 & the G48. Just sayin :-)
I have one with the romeozero. Love it. Only trouble is the 15 rounders are unobtainium rn :/
And mags are super spensive
I agree sir.
P365 with 12 rd mag all day long......and promag makes them now, $25
I carry the 365 with 12+1. Recently bought a milled slide... but been waiting on the 507k since July.
How can you not love this guy?
The P365 is a rockstar in my book... I carry it everyday. Conceals very well, and is a true, reliable shooter.
P365 XL
Got the 43x over the sig 365 xl..my friend went the other route...and after shooting both only thing better on the Glock is the price of mags and parts imo
Went p365 because the other two would be the same as me carrying my glock... So I threw a red dot on there and just spent the extra $65 on a 15 and 12 rd mag (sig mags from gunmadwarehose go on sale every couple months) and it's relaible af
if you want to like it more, put the flat faced trigger in it, and get the wilson combat grip module.
Great video. Thank you for your thoughts on the G48. You confirmed what I've been saying about this platform since it came out. With the inception of the Shield Arms 15 rounds magazines this gun is a game changer. It really nullifies anything else in the Glock lineup for me. It makes the G19 obsolete in my world. There's just no point in carrying a larger gun that doesn't have any more capacity than a smaller one.
Yeah, 15+1 in a Glock 48, then another 20 in a spare mag with those S15 extensions. That's a lot of firepower in a small concealable package.
That’s got to be a good feeling when John Lovell wants your gun
The Glock 48 Mos is the first Glock I have ever bought also. I have a Cz Po1 Tactical, but its bigger, heavier, and you can't use a red dot on it so I finally made the leap into Glock after my son and I rented a Glock 48 at the range and basically fell in love with it. So I ordered the Mos version so we could try out some red dots also. Love your channel and all the info I learn from watching. Keep up the good work.
So, what I took away from that was that the Sig P365 still wins in the true compact pistol category. :)
Agree.
The only true competition for the 365 is the Hellcat. I’ve had both for some time now and I’m still on the fence after about 1000 rounds each. Never been a Glock guy but I may get myself at least one because there are millions of aftermarket parts to truly make it your own.
Nice to see the review on the 48. That's what I decided on a few months ago and I have been backing up the $$$ dumptruck to it ever since. Holosun 507c (sent slide out for milling), Olight PL-Mini 2 (with Recover Tactical Rail), Ultimate Pyramid Trigger, Hogue Grip, Extended controls and pin kit, sights, Tungsten Guide Rod. If I add all the holsters I bought every step of the way I'm probably in for ..... oh let's not add it up. I live in NY so we are capped at 10 rounds and miss out on a lot of guns that I would love to purchase.
If the trigger is similar to the 19, I can see the railed MOS version of the 48 replacing a lot of 19's and 17's.
@NinjaRider777R that's your prerogative. Nothing wrong with either choice.
@NinjaRider777R 6rd vs 15/20rd, youre loss.
@NinjaRider777R lemme just conceal a 33rd mag. or a 24rd mag. or a 17rd mag.... right. and we werent comparing the 19 and 48. we were comparing the 43 and the 48. whyre you changing it up all of a sudden?
@NinjaRider777R "43 versus 48, I'll still take the 43, it's thinner and smaller, and if I need more than 9+1 I've got bigger problems than concealability."
The 48 is actually thinner (i.e. smaller) but the 43 has a shorter grip & slide/barrel (i.e. smaller), so define which smaller you're talking about. Standard mag in the 43 is 6+1, not 9+1, and the standard mag in the 48 is 10+1, so I don't know what you mean by the if you need more than 9+1 comment? Plus, if you say that, then why are you knocking it for not taking the 33 round mag?
"Anybody can get 15 to 20 rounds out of the G48 with massively extended mags. The G19 can do that without needing extended mags"
The SA15 magazine gives you 15+1 and is the exact same size and flush fitting as the standard 10+1 glock factory mag, nothing sticking out. The extender gets you an extra 5 rounds but will make it longer. But since you don't need more than 9+1 that isn't a problem, stick with the factory 10+1 mag and you've got 1 to spare, or stick with the SA15 and have 6 to spare. Please let me know where to find the 20 round mag that is still flush fit for a 19 though, I want to buy one.
@NinjaRider777R per www.usglock.com the slide width is the exact same on both guns at .87in but the overall width is 1.06in for the 43 compared to 1.10in for the 43x so i was wrong about the width, but so were you. The difference is .04in though so that is basically the same. Every other measurement is exactly the same between the two guns, except the overall length is .25in longer and the height is .75in taller with the 43x like i previously mentioned. The takeaway though is that it fits your hand way better than the 43 by giving you a full grip with different ergonomics (without the need for a bumper plate), and you get 10+1 compared to 6+1. I don't see how that is gimmicky? Yes, it doesn't take normal glock mags, but it's a subcompact.... when would you ever want to carry that with a 33round extended mag for that gun? Or even a 17 round mag? Never, except to the range or plinking, that's not what the gun is made for, it's for concealed carry.
If you put the baseplate/grip and get 3 extra rounds on the 43, it's 9+1 vs 10+1 for a gun that is basically the exact same size. For me the 43x just fits the hand SOOOO much better, but at that point it's just user preference, to each their own, they are equally matched & equally priced, that's not gimmicky, it's fair market. But when you throw in the SA15 mags, then this becomes a game changer. With the EXACT same flush fit mag, you get a 15+1 capability. No gimmicky extended mag sticking out 6 inches from the gun. At that point it is way outclassing the 43. Yes, it's a proprietary magazine, but who cares? These guns are made to conceal carry on a daily basis for normal citizens, or as backup's for law enforcement. All you need is 1, and maybe at the most 2, magazines at any given time for this gun to be useful. If you are buying the gun for plinking, then there are better options.
Great review again. I solve my Glock 43 small round count by carrying lots of extra party favors in backup magazine. Don't leave home without one.😉 And good comment about considering go with an optic. I have been in transition from decades of iron sights. It's a training effort.
Be well brother..let us have faith in the Lord Jesus Christ folks!
God is good, all the time.
@Karl Schubert and pray to the Lord we can get more ammo. Times are tough in communist New Jersey.
Your Jesus is Black??
@Karl Schubert You must have been in Firefight before?
Powder dry and praise the Lord.
Your expression in the intro about felling old seemed to have some sincerity to it, Maybe just me but we all will get there in time. Enjoy each season of life, each one has its own rewords. GOD bless keep it up!
I have the 43 and 48. I carry either or depending if I’m going to seat lot or be standing
You also have a 43X 😀
I have both a G43 and a G48, which also means I have a G43X, (43 slide on the 48 frame), and an unnamed hybrid, (48 slide on the 43 frame), which I have dubbed a G48X. I normally carry the G43 because it's small and easy to conceal, but I've grown to really enjoy carrying the G48. I live in the Communist State of NY, where King Andrew's minions have banned "High Capacity", (meaning STANDARD capacity), magazines. When I was working, we carried either a G17, or a G19 for plain clothes, giving me either 17 or 15 rounds respectively. But as a retiree, I can only buy 10 rounders, which makes the bulk of the 17 & 19 unnecessary, and warranted. The G48 is basically a single stack G19, that holds 10 rounds. This makes it PERFECT for carry in NY, or any of the other Politburo States.........
12:15 Did you just wink at us, John?!?!?!
That beard, the hair, the sweat on the forehead.......a wi*faints*
Oooohhh you pulled a sneaky on me
I'm the opposite. I love my sig except its the XL and I was fortunate enough to order one back on 3/8 and got it yesterday. Its not 35 gift packages but it is 28. Thank you for your content, witness and wisdom! May God bless your family!
I ordered the 507k that is back on march 8th. :D
I saw the title and thought, that’s going to be Caleb’s ol gun 🤣
Glad to see this, I’ve been curious what you thought about Glock 43x with the SA15 mags solution. Seems like most of what you say here would apply to 43x MOS. Like you said, the handle length on the 48/43 made it hard to not just go for the 19 sized guns. It pushed me that way. However, it does seem like the 43x’s shorter muzzle could make a worthy comfort difference for a shorter person. Also, as skinny as I am, any width shaving on the gear would be welcomed.
29 people disliked this? They must live in their parents basements!
Those slide cuts are holy smokes beautiful. What a great looking piece.
The Warrior Poet G48 Special Edition coming soon? :)
When corona is over and ammo/guns are reasonably priced and available again. I would LOVE for that but this November kinda scares me. I love your videos John!
Anybody else notice how many shots were placed in the crotchular region on that paper target?
You are just GREAT to listen to. You never take yourself too serious while providing a wealth of information.
“BuT jAMes YEaGer SaID It’S nOT ReLIAblE”
They do run their guns hard through class. Maybe you should take some down there and prove him wrong
Oh my
Isnt that a liquor????🍸🍸🍸
@@peterdragon6367 probably how hard os hard though? I used to put 100-300 a range session and have upwards of 6000 through my Cz with three FTEs two where aluminum cases bieng the stupid tacky things thatthey are and sticking in the built up filth from my neglect an one freak accident where it snapped close one a round and caught it on the rim somehow
I also have a hipoint carbine with over 10k through it and I've cleaned it 3 times and have had maybe 10 malfunctions one that was directly useer error because crimped brass .45 snakeshot is not really a smart thing in a carbine
@billy bob standing and shooting at a target is different than running a gun through a class where it’s going to be getting dirty and high round count without cleaning
Love my 48, I think. I love the way it shoots. I’ve had it a few months now, and love the way it handles. But I’ve been waiting on a holster for it. Expecting the it’s shipped email anyway now. It’s my first Glock. I have been carrying a Kimber, and live it. But I think this offers a simpler profile.
Funny how the SIG is the last gun standing, are you trying to tell us something?
What a great opening. 4:24 Love seeing him work. Im getting my 1st glock next month finally
John, my son...your journey is incomplete until you convert to the P10C. ;)
This guy knows 👆
@@JoshBenware One of the few things I DO know. LOL.
@White Buffalo 🤣🤣
Agree on the significance of width. It amazes me how much more comfortable carrying the 43 is compared to the 26. Size really does matter...damn it.
Luckily in this instance, less girth is better 😅
John talks about dressing to the nine when we all know he only wears t shirts or gillie suits.
He means when he's concealing under his plate carrier and war belt
John, your thoughts on the Glock 26?
The Taurus G2C and G3C are just as reliable, and they carry 12 plus 1.
theyre not terrible but no where near as reliable as glock or sig
JuSt As GoOd
@@Lordofthepoors Amen, brother.
I hit the like button before watching WPS videos cuz I already know.
Takeaways: same capacity as the War Poet but more comfortable to carry.
but not as good to shoot
Warrior Poet Society very good.
@@WarriorPoetSociety If this is something to carry when the threat level is much lower and you want something smaller and more comfortable to carry, then why on earth would you want to go with the 48 over the 43x? Exactly the same, just shorter barrel/slide assembly. I mean i could see the 48 that is tricked out like that to replace the normal carry gun maybe, but it sounds like that is not the case and this is when you want something small? And if so, why put an optic like that on?
Action Jaxxson see that was sort of my take on this. It seemed like this video was meant to compare the 48 with the sub compact options but my mind couldn’t help but make the inherit comparison to the war poet since they are in the same class. As far as the optic I feel like if you can fit a red dot, you should fit a red dot. It’s a game changer in my (limited) experience.
Imagine my shock and amazement at the beginning of the video, you're right in my backyard! Lived in Kennesaw all my life it's a great hearty place, we'd love to always have ya back and maybe I'll get the chance to meet you sometime. Thanks for all you do man keep it easy and stay safe brother and may God bless you and your family
I prefer the 43x over the 48, I like the shorter Barrel. I generally carry a G26 with +2's my wife claimed the 43x 😂
My wife claimed mine as well... Though we both knew this would happen didn't we rich?
I saw that Caleb video when you traded your Poet pistol for Caleb 48 and I couldn't believe it. Now this one. I love my 43 for the almost same reasons you love yours...but now I have a 43X and I just ordered a few Shild Arms mags and a +5 base mag plate and what I'm carrying now?
Great video. Thanks for sharing. Saludos from Puerto Rico.
Somebody needs to tell this guy about Caniks....
Yup, glocks are okay, if you like men, but if you need shit done get a canik or a sig, just my opinion. You are more respected that way.
Yes! Canik triggers are second to none!
@@Legatus2kx pfft.
@@davegarber they're good, but not as good as a p10c trigger (unless you mean that competition ready version of the canik)
Smooth Criminal 💯
Great video. I was just at Governor's Gun Club, last weekend taking my instructor certification course(in which I got certified. Yay, for that). We took a tour of the facility, and I was hoping to see you and get a chance to meet you in person. Maybe next time, because I will be able to host classes there, in the near future. Thanks, again, for the great content.
Just wish I could carry. Here only the criminals have guns..
Move, I did. It's the best thing I ever did.
The only people that live in democrat cities are the people who don't know what freedom is.
@Shawn Patricio I can't get out for about 9 more years. Then I won't be able to move fast enough.
@@Thejimboman1 Moving country is quite a big deal though. :)
@Aston Sweden unfortunately. I do own quite a few guns but should I use them to protect myself? I'd go to prison..
As a Pastor I do love my P365 I also install a flat trigger on it and I just love it, I do have the G43X that I have been carrying but I carry my P365 lately, awesome review. I do have three of the Shield Arm mags that is a game changer, I love it, my other firearm are safe queen for now but I like two give all of my firearm love, even my Rock Island 10mm 1911, lol.
My carry’s are similar. Glock 19 (decked out) or the Hellcat. Man the hellcat is cheating.
13+1 is super cheating. I love mine!
I just magically found a g48 and now it’s replacing my wife’s ruger lcp. what an upgrade. Now I want one for myself. Well I want one like yours. That’s a beautiful firearm sir.
Glock 43x has 10 rds🤷🏾♂️
The S15 mags fit the 43X and the 48.
haha, I have been daily driving the sig 365 for almost as long as it has been out and I remember when your first video on it came out I was a little bummed that you were so hard on it due to the grip angle. I understand because it annoyed me a little but I just loved it so much and it was so comfortable (especially since I work in an office and wear suits all day) that I kept on going with it. I am happy that you warmed up to it some and I think I might try out that 48 setup now
Does it always have to be a Glock?
@Aston My Bersa Thunder 9 has an easier takedown , 17+1 capacity, no misfires or failures to feed and it's not polymer.
Hey john if you’re ever feeling it you can throw that 43 slide on the 48 lower chassis and have a 43x with the 15 round magazine. Owning a 43 and 48 really gives you 4 gun options.
I thought I recognized that gun! I remember it in Pistol 2. Good trade! 🤘🏽
In Texas, we don't have to worry about printing. I cut down a Sig P320 compact grip frame to subcompact length, then put my subcompact slide on it. 3.6 inch barrel, 15 rounds.
