He spent what? All of .5 seconds lining up an 80 yard shot with a 3.4 inch barrel.
Truly a legend
Imagine a bunch of these dudes in a platoom
Legend 100% . Also helps to shoot the same range over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over
I once setup a target and walked around 120 yards give or take and made a quick solid bullseye with a 3 inch barrel Beretta. I dated that target and put it on top of my refrigerator.
legend has it that he's deadly accurate to 500 yards with a 5 inch barrel 1911
And all of that with the stock plastic/craptastic Glock sights.
Hickok needs to be in the next John Wick movie. It could be called,''Wickok''.
lmfao
😂😂😂😂
That's perfect! LOL
Whatever happened to the movie he was in with Matt?
@@mofuhh I remember that but haven't heard anything else about it
I’m an EMT in an area that allows first responders to conceal carry on the job. I carry a 43X basically every day at work and during the warmer months when a T-shirt and jeans are what’s most comfortable. I absolutely love mine. I recommend it 10/10
do you think it's good to put s15 on it?
I totally agree with you!
Imagine having to defend yourself from someone then having to give them aid immediately after … crazy thought.
I've never even bothered to check official policy anywhere I've worked (except schools with metal detectors) cause 1) no one's supposed to know until you have to use it 2) I'll be damned if I get killed by some psycho cause I chose to follow corporate policy
I NEVER get tired of hearing him laugh while shooting - Love it and it makes my day every time!
watching this during the pandemic that box of ammo looks like a treasure chest.

But, Yes. It Does!!!!

I was thinking the same thing. I actually had a thought of making a text message alert noise of him sifting through the ammo in that cigar box. Ha!
My kind of smoke..

I went to purchase a Glock 26 and left with the 43x. I really preferred the way the 43x felt in my hand. I think the 26 is a GREAT firearm but I went 43x.
I agree. I love how the 43 feels concealed. Compared to my 19, it's so much better for EDC. Plus you can add a extender to the magazine and get a few extra rounds and better grip. The Glock 26 was just too thick for me and after adding an extension on the magazine/ grip, I thought to myself, "might as well just carry a G19 at this point". I would choose a 43 over a 26 any day and that's not saying three 26 is a bad handgun, it's just not something I would carry
Same here!!! I went in looking to get the 26 but left with the Black 43x after shooting it. The feel was great and it shot incredible!!
I’ve put about 500 rounds through my g43x and I still love it. But now I want a 26 just to have it. Glocks make such reliable arms that ANY Glock is ALWAYS better than no Glock!! Excellent points made by everyone here!
Was gonna get a 26 to replace my 27. Saw the 43, left with the 43x. I’m so glad I did
@Maso24k yah that's my the other problem. The thinness cuts both ways. Little too small for my hand also
I’ve owned the 27 for over ten years. I’ve recently decided to go with a 9mm; Went to the shop looking to get the 19 but left with the 43x. I just loved how slim it was, and it fit like a glove.
"We haven't even smoked any pot yet have we?" Love this guy!
Aaron Delly that's what I'm saying! 🤘 🤘
"I dont have a need for one, but I have one." My 2021 motto.
43x with talon grip, S15 mag, and metal mag release is such a great combination
How'd you know?
Can u provide links for the items
And the MOS variant to drop in a RMR of your preference...I have mine on order via the Glock Blue Label program.
i have this set up and adding the talon grip today its amazing
also the tlr6 streamlight
Love the vid, and some of these comments are spot on. A lot of us are Glock folks, we have 19's, 26's, 43's, and everything in between. The 43x came out and we couldn't see what the need was, especially if we had others already. And we didn't want to like it. We tried hard not to buy it. We couldn't justify it. And then, we felt it. We shot it. We bought it. We got buyers remorse. But it wouldn't go away. We couldn't stay away from it. And we found we were carrying it over and over again, until our prior EDC's got dusty. Sigh. Love the stupid thing. Accurate, softer than the 43, easy to carry...
Ah nothing like morning coffee and a Hickok45 video. It's gonna be a good day!

I was going to like but its at 223
43x is great compromise between ability to conceal and grip especially with talon grips and putting arachnigrips on the slide. Shield arms 15 round magazines were icing on the cake for me. Best all around handgun I have owned.
Just looking at the Shields….
I have A 43X with the talent grips on it with the Shields 15 round clips a couple of them and I love it and it is a shooter
@@dwayneportier2995 ever have issues with the shield mags?
@@iShowUnusualBehavior I haven't had issues. About a thousand rounds through them. There's also the ProMag 15 but I haven't tried that.
@@dwayneportier2995 whats a clip lol jk😉
I work in a gun shop and top two sellers, by far, are Sig P365 and 43X. Both great choices.
Marty Bugg what about walther PPS ?
I really wanted to like that 365 but it just wasn't right for me. Specifically, the mag release.
Laurent Delacroix but the 365 is a micro compact not a full sized weapon did you expect different? Honest question, cheers
@@James-xx5gx I was shopping for a subcompact and wanted to look at everything I could. Everyone has different hands, I guess, and mine didn't feel right about the 365. I'm sure it's a fine shooter, I just couldn't. The M&P shield even felt better. Which is a gun I'm hesitant about. I nearly took a chance with it though, sale price 230 USD.
Laurent Delacroix I was referencing your comment on mag release, all the same, we all have preferences
Mr. Hickok, you are, without a doubt, the coolest senior citizen on UA-cam. Just keep doing what you do best.
I just purchased a Glock 43x and being a first time gun owner I'm very pleased with how comfortable it is to fire. The Glock 19 was the firearm I practiced with & didn't think it was for me because of its size. 43x fits comfortably with inside holster.
my first carry gun and I love it a lot, i've had it for about 7 months now and any time I've carried it I could almost forget that it was even on me with my Vedder lighttuck holster
Full grip not the blocky grip like the full size Glocks. Slim and comfortable iwb carry. I love mine.
Just bought mine a few days ago. Perfect carry gun.
I agree. Found a good deal on like new black with ameriglo sights. Feels like a small version of my Glock 45
SIG 365 is better.
@@DS..69 g43x with shield arm mag upgrade 15+1 is better
@@battouter Nope!
You just know if it's the right gun for you when you pick it up. That's why I picked the 43X. Two years and still love it for EDC, appendix and pocket.
#1 rule of firearm acquisition... Personal preference. I ADORE my 43x. I wanted a Glock for many years but felt I couldn't afford one... Until this one came out. I made it happen. It just fits my (not dainty, girly girl) hand perfectly. I'm more comfortable & confident with it than any other gun I have ever held/shot. The only thing that comes close to a complaint is that I have to tape my trigger finger for anything past about 50 rounds because it starts to hurt a little, but hey, what's a little tape on your finger when it means you can keep shooting? (Yeah, I'm plagued with dishpan hands.) Just wanted to throw a female perspective out there. I'd highly recommend it for ladies. I love mine so much!

Big fan of single stack 9mm pistols. Been carrying a Ruger LC9s for the longest. Love my new Glock 43x. Thanks Hickok45 your reviews always help .
I just recently purchased G43x and added to my Glock collection! It is amazing how small and worthy gun it is. Thanks for your through information about this gun.
I love this guy, reminds me so much of my father. Feels like I’m watching him review guns and make dad jokes.
Bought my first gun and first Glock, being the 43X. I love the feel and capacity of 10+1 for the EDC gun. Got mine in all black and put Foxx rubber grips on it as I didn't feel enough grip for me with the stock texture. Definitely recommend to try this gun out!
Schizo xz if your area allows for 15+1, shield arms makes a 15rd magazine for the 43x that is flush fit
Been watching Hickok since I was 10, just turned 21 and bought my first CCW. Happy to say I’ve learned a lot from you! I bought a glock 43x mos and getting ready to purchase my first ar15! Super happy to see you’re still making videos😆
"glock sights suck, you cant hit anything with it"
Proceeds to hit everything he looks at
Controls trajectory with his brain waves.
Works for him.
I had an amerigo night sight installed upon purchasing. Very accurate. Perfect cc gun
Lol, actually for quick sight acquisition Glock stock sights are awesome.
You need more range time
A humble hickok45 today, and I love it! It's good to see a guy of your experience say he has changed his mind. The Glock 43x is an EDC for me and I love the gun!
I never cease to be amazed at what a terrific shot Hickok 45 demonstrates.
First off, that opening gong shot was spot on!!!
I purchased my 43x MOS last week and absolutely love it. I'm 6'4 with a monster hand also and it fits my hand like a glove.
Love catching your reviews!
Firstly, I absolutely love your video reviews! 🌟 Secondly, you are the reason I was interested in trying the Walther PPQ over a decade ago as my very first gun. I did finally try it last year and decided that gun was not for me for my first firearm to purchase. After trying the 43X, I knew that was my gun. It fits my small hands very well because the grip wasn’t too wide (single stack), yet the grip was long enough and it didn’t hurt my hands when shooting. I did decide to go with the 43X because the 43 handle was too short for my hands. I cannot stand a gun that is shorter than my grip, I don’t feel like I have a good enough “handle” on it when the grip is too short. 😝 I cannot thank you enough for your awesome and honest reviews! 🤩👍
I've had the 43, the 19 , the 19x , and the best for carry for me is the 43x. With the s15 mags you get 15 rounds. It even feels great in my hands and is a pretty accurate gun.
Thanks for us all tuning in! With your Wisdom, I am inlighted, your a great teacher
One thing I've noticed about Hickok is he says ,"We won't talk much about that." Then proceeds to elaborate and talk more about it. It's always a good thing though cause new viewers can see content they might've missed. Hickok has a legendary shot and great social skills. He really reminds me of Chuck Connors on the Rifleman.
Kinda shied away from this one for years because of the long grip. Didn’t think I’d like it. Broke down yesterday and walked out of my LGS with one. Bought two S-15 mags and the the mag release. Cleaned it and went straight to the range. 150 rounds thru it flawlessly. Love it! Damn it Glock…you got me again!
How’re the S15s holding up with the mag release? Heard those 15s were bad for business.
Found one at my local this morning and after holding, bought immediately. Came home and found this new video uploaded. Thx again wise sage.
STAY AIRBORNE!
You are a master level shot. I love guns and shoot often but with smaller guns I’m less accurate and I tell myself it’s the mass, the size, the felt recoil, the ergonomics, the shorter sight radius, etc. you just proved me all wrong. It’s all skill. It really is true most guns are more accurate than the shooter. Thanks for being so awe-inspiring.
I really like the mix of modern and old firearms. Gotta admit that one or two polymer pistols will do me, I prefer wheel guns and traditional wood and steel, but the polymer guns are good appliances. It's the wood and steel guns that give me the warm fuzzies.
I’m a wheel gun lover too. Polymer 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I have four Glock's and have been shooting them since 1988. I acquired a 43X in May and love it. With a few quality holsters, so easy to conceal carry. I have over a thousand rounds thru mine now, very enjoyable to shoot. I did upgrade my trigger assembly, XS Big Dot sights and a Talon grip wrap. Highly recommend for a CCH choice.
love that hickok was able to look back and adjust his view. no ego in this man
I work in a gun store and had a customer say Glock is the Honda Civic of guns. I asked him to explain and he said it won't win any beauty contest but it will run forever. I couldn't argue.
Glocks have never appealed to me mostly because I never found one for EDC that felt good in my hands - until now. The 43X and 48 both fit my hand very well and I would EDC either one without hesitation.
Shield Arms has a 15 round magazine which is the same as the G19 in a much smaller package.
This is what I daily Carry. I replaced the mag release with their metal one to keep it from wearing out and I’ve put over 2000 rounds through it and not had a single problem. Those mags really are fantastic. I love my g19 and keep it in my car, but having the same capacity in my carry gun and the same overall functionality is awesome. Really made it into a whole new firearm for me.
Out of stock now :(
tenacious645 damn they are too. I went ahead and put two more on back order though. I’d recommend springing a bit more for the ones without the black standard finish on them too btw. The black ones dont want to just fall out of the gun as easily as the standard or the other finish mags do. Could just be my newer firearm too though.
@@justsomemincedgarlic You would probably be a good person to ask this question. I've recently acquired my own 43X, and am obviously intending to get some S15 mags to carry this gun with at some point. Along with that, I'll get their metal mag release, which is where my question comes in. Did you notice that the metal mag release does any damage to the original plastic magazines when you use them? I know Shield Arms says it won't, and their reputation for these magazines has been pretty truthful, but I figured I'd ask around just to be sure. The problem seems to be that everybody who buys the 15 rounders doesn't go back to the factory mags, but I've already got seven of them for GSSF matches, so I'm crossing my fingers that I'll just be able to use them and the S15s interchangeably when I need to.
Hassik I’ve had no problems with the metal mag release and the stock mags. Idk how it’ll be a year down the road, but so far so good. I’m sure there will be some wear and tear with metal on poly, but I put about 1,000 rounds through the metal mags before I changed the mag release and it was still functioning properly and I’ve put maybe a few hundred through the poly mags and metal mag release and had zero problems too. I think it’s not as big of a deal as one may think but still a good idea to change the release for longevity
July 2021, I went to buy a Gen 5 Glock 19 and had it sitting right there on the countertop ready to do the deal. But then noticed a Glock 43X and a Glock 48 under the glass and asked to see them too. I walked out of the Bartlesville Shooting Supply, Bartlesville, Oklahoma with my new EDC Glock 48 (using SA 15+1 mags). I appendix-carry 12 to 18 hours a day, every day and barely notice it. I am 74 years old, 6.0' and weigh 165-170#'s. This G48 very nearly disappears on me with very little effort in a Q Series or Muddy River holster. Sometimes I think I should have chosen the G43X and may get one someday or, more likely get a G43 so I can swap slides among them ( "frankenslide" ) and have three or even four slim 9mm Glocks for the price of two.
"It's a good little shooter". One of my favorite quotes haha
I watch tons of your videos and honestly the bit at the end where you talked more about new shooters purchasing their first gun and giving them advice was awesome. Something a little different than just talking about the gun
Wow can't even believe you uploaded a new video. I woke up smiling. 👍🏾

@@dominator146 very real.
Ouch Iturts I will never understand how someone could be so miserable to where they go across the internet spitting negative comments out because they so badly want others to feel as they do smh stfu

I have a Glock 43, G43X, and a Sig P365 SAS. They are for different carry. The 365 is my EDC, G43 is my back up at work (LEO), G43X is once in a while carry. It's took some time of shooting for the Sig 365 SAS the sights are really in line with the Barrel! Enjoy it now and at 10 yards and under is nail driver! Duty gun is a STI Staccato P DUO with Trijicon RMR and 21 round mags! I do work at Lodge On The Desert in Tucson Arizona. Have a good month!
I have watched your videos for years. Thank you for sharing your perfection. You are a marksman. I hope to shoot like you, one day.
I started watching Hickok yearrrsss ago when I purchased my first firearm. He’s educated me a lot. Just bought my 43X today havent shot it yet. Came from a Sig P320 full size that I loved, the texture, the versatility was great but way too big for concealed carry (appendix carry). I love the feel of the 43X in hand. Perfect size and I have pretty large hands. Thanks Hickok for educating us all and making enjoyable videos 🫡
Appendix left hand carry for me ....43X is so comfortable with IWB carry...and longer grip is what makes it work! Getting in and out of the car is comfortable too. Fun to shoot...no doubt about it!
Same here, tough being a lefty lol. Funny is im right handed but always been better and comfortable lefty shooting. I did that aim at your hand test in hunters safety class and always ended up left eye.
43x is my favorite glock! Never leave home without it! It's my g19 lite!
Hickok45's laugh when shooting is so funny and contagious. As always great review and i look forward to more :)
I saw this video 2 years later. I recently bought a Shield Plus and a 365XL. Sold my 365 cause it was just too small for me. Easy to hide but I didn't shoot it as well as bigger guns. Just got a 43X and it just feels good in my hand. I've been a Glock guy for a long time. Bill Jordan had an expression he used about guns or people he liked. "It'll do to ride the river with." The 43X and I will be just fine. Thanks for all the great videos sir. You inspire me to keep practicing.
"It'll do to ride the river with" is a Louis L'Amour expression that Bill adopted as his own, I assure you. If you enjoy western books, check out Louis. You may already be familiar, but if not, highly recommended. Greatest western writer of all time.
I can’t even begin to tell you how happy I am that you are still making these videos! Great stuff
I love 1911s but the glock is different. A lot of people call it ugly or blocky. In all honesty I would trust my life with a glock. Recommend it to anyone.
1911 for the glow. Glock for the real show. I personally like 1911 better though. they can be reliable as well and they’re a lot more beautiful than glocks in my opinion.
I love both but I gotta agree with you. I’m used to the 1911 loving them when I was a kid and love the feel of it. It feels more familiar. But I gotta give it to those glocks. They are tough and reliable. The cool thing is is that you can customize a 1911 to be as reliable as a glock.
I have 3 Glock carry weapons 30, 43, 19
I own every 1911 in all calibers ,was totally against Glock ,buddy of mine got a 42 when they came out I shoot it with him ,now I own 4 Glocks and carry the g43.
@@moistexistence3090 the 80% Glock models 17 and 19 are based on the 1911 "lower" and grip. I built the G19 80% and it feels great! Others who have held it have said the grip itself is a tiny bit bulky but I think it's perfect for ppl with larger hands or who prefer a bigger grip. So with the 80% builds, most of them you get the best of both worlds.

I love my 43x mos. Believe it or not it's my favorite Glock for Concealed carry. Something about that grip just does it for me. For such a small gun It shoots like a full size.
I purchased mine today love it.People talk about the length of the grip but the 1st thing someone does with a short grip is buy a +2 mag .The Glock 43x has already done that for you.This gun is not as big as you think it is it will fit in my inside jacket pocket or my back pocket .The Glock 43x is an outstanding pistol good trigger low felt recoil and accurate .
I love my Glock 43x and your part 1 and 2 videos. Watched both over 20 times each. Need a part 3!!! Huge fan!’
Watching from the philippines 🇵🇭
Cezare Vertucio You Sir, have excellent vision!!😉
God bless!
Available na kaya to sa Pinas?
I think the 43X is mainly for appendix carry. Just my opinion. I prefer the Sig P365 XL. 13 rounds with a flat grip; 16 rounds with the long mag. And it comes with night sights, a flat trigger, and a beaver tail.
I think the only thing you sacrifice going with the sig over Glock is the question of reliability which in a carry gun is.....
Hard to beat the reputation of glocks reliability especially when you see so many instances of the sigs having issues. Sure many probably don’t but I personally am not going to spend $600 on a pistol that might have issues.
I have a 43, and despite small hands, The G43 just didnt feel right. A Hogue grip sleeve helped some, but seemed to exadurate the "two finger grip", and it just felt more awkward to draw. I handled a G43x yesterday and was impressed. The width seems perfect. A Glock 19 without the block feel. (Everytime I switch from the CZ to the Glock 19 I still get hit by its blockiness). Its pretty funny, as just like Hickock I was skeptical about the g43x when it came out, and in re-researching it even stumbled accross one of my own comments dissing it, lol.
Love my Glock 43X, I picked one up at my local gun store, and it fit my larger hand like it was made for me, without hesitation, I bought it, come on, what’s not to love, it’s an Austrian made Glock!!! And for my smaller body, it conceals so much better!!! Love watching your show,,,💥💥
Hickok: "It's hard to miss with"
Me: "Hold my beer"
I ordered one yesterday. I was able to handle and trigger-test the 43x, P365, P365XL, Hellcat, Shield 2.0, and Springfield XD. The shield is the best feeling one by far in my opinion. But the limited capacity ruled it out for me. It was very painful, because M&P is just so good. But the 43x had the biggest grip, a curved trigger, which I prefer, and is narrow enough to carry inside the waistband.. And it has an available after-market 15-round mag that is still flush. I also ordered night sights for it.
Just picked up my Glock 20 (10mm) and was looking at the 43 for the wife, she likes 9mm’s, was on the fence, was going over it last night, went to bed still undecided. Got up this morning, and their you are with the 43, like a sign from above (get the gun), guess I just got another gun Thanks Hickok, you did it again, for the Millionth time 😜 Really Thanks 🤙🏼🤠🔫
Threewolfs 45-70 glock 20 is the best model Glock in my opinion. So many options. It can convert to 10-15 different calibers, I keep one in my car, and I carry one as a side arm when hunting in hog/ bear country. 10mm is king in my eyes and the Glock 20 sits on the 10mm throne. I also have a 43 and 19. I’m really looking at the Glock 29 sub 10mm. Cheers to 10mm and Glock.
Jeff T still up in the air, either the 29 or the 40 for me as far as Glocks go. Thinking the 29 might be to small for my large hands. Thinking the 40 as an open carry. 🤠
I love mine. I got a 48 originally, which I do like, but as soon as I tried my 43 slide on it, it stayed there. Perfect for IWB kydex carry, not even looking at anything else. 43X FTW.
We all know his pocket is the size of a small backpack.
I have a 43x and love it. Thank you for you videos.
You shoot very natural and smooth with that pistol
Just purchased a 43X and stumbled upon this channel. Your honest charm and humor has bought you a new subscriber. Thank you for your content, sir.
Woowwwww que maldita punteriaaaa. De lejos el mejor que he visto de todos los que hacen test a armas en youtube!! Saludos desde Perú
I’ve had the 43X for some time now, and it’s probably the most comfortable of all the guns I own. It seems to be just the right size to carry concealed for me. I carry on my right about 3:30 in a L.A.G. kydex holster. Great video as always sir! 😉
Are the shield arms 15 round mags reliable?
Shane Allen don’t have a shield arms mag, just a ten round Glock mag that came with it. I carry an extra mag with ten rounds also. That’s 20 rounds of 9mm. I would hope to get it done by then...😉
It’s funny how different guns feel so different to different folks. The shield feels perfect to me.
I have the shield, it's excellent for the price
I had a Shield 2.0. It didn't work for me. But my 27 year old daughter loved it. It's now her EDC.
I got a shield with a freaking Lazar beam for my wife.
Different hand sizes...?
Not nearly as reliable as a Glock though.
To watch you shoot is just plain impressive. It encourages me to keep shooting. Thank you for your videos.
I love my G43. Bought it when it was first released. But 8 rounds (+2 extensions on my mags) does NOT make me feel too comfortable. I've been debating the 43x for a while; I think I'm gonna pull the trigger after watching this one. Thanks for the video!
I haven't regretted it in the least.
I love the 43X can't go wrong!
Get the extended mag you’ll be fine with 12 shots
I wouldnt trust the mag extensions. 43x is worth every penny!
I spent a ton of money on the G43 customizing it and love it. But I finally pulled the trigger on the G43X put a red dot on it and it's my new EDC!!! It's even more fun when you can't miss.
I use to hate Glock because of the all the thugs use to use the phrase my Glock using it as a generac term for a gun like making a copy of something saying Xerox copy using a brand name. Well about 5 years ago I shot my first one and fell in love with the way it shoots and the way you can carry one and completely forget that you have it as apposed to a Beretta and how heavy it is. I am very happy with the reliability of the gun so I just picked up my 43x and am very happy with how it functions. I am a Glock fan now!!!
Ahhhhh, what's better in the morning than a cup of coffee and a new Hickok Glock video!

This man has more fun than a human being should be allowed to have.... and I love it!!
I agree.
@@hickok45 The legend replied to me!!! My life is complete.
The 43x with the flush 15 round mag, is a GAME CHANGER!!!
The reason I bought the 43x is for the 15 round capability. Very happy with it.
With the Shieldarms 15 round flush fit mags we now have a concealable glock 19 in a 43x wardrobe....it is a no brainer for a lot of us...............
I purchased the G43x and I absolutely love it. I was carrying the G45 prior but wanted something obviously smaller for appendix carry. Zero complaints about this!
I have owned many Glocks and they never let me down. I used to pocket carry a 42 but the .380 really does not bring a high level of confidence.I now appendix carry and it works well in a very warm climate where I spend much time in shorts and a tee shirt. The 43X is working well for me and is effective enough I use it as a house gun also.Nice to not have to open the legally required loked storage every day when I get home from work.
I have the glock 43x and I agree it’s a lovable gun! It’s my daily carry gun
If it wasn’t for you mr Hickok 45, I found out about the talon tape. I bought it and it turn my 19 gen 5 into more of a joy to shoot at the range. I was at a gunsmith who’s been business for 40 years an told him about it and he now cares it because he was blown away about. So thank you sir!! Love the channel. When ever I’m thinking about buying a new Glock or pistol I go right for your channel. Thank you for that to sir.
Appreciate y’all from Texas
I got a glock 23 because of you and bought a 43x a few weeks back and now watching this video I feel better about the purchase. Keep up the great and informational videos my guy.
Did you need this video to feel batter about your purchase of the 43x? I just got back from the range and after trying the p365xl, and accidently pinching my palm skin when inserting the mag, I realized I wanted a little more grip length for my big hands. The 43x grip seems just a little thicker and longer than the p365xl grip while still being very concealable.
“We haven’t even smoked some pot today have we” 😂😂 coolest guy on UA-cam
Went in my local gun store for a glock 26 and left with the 43x. I’m super happy I did. I already had the glock 19 so a 26 even though it’s smaller the 43x is better for my needs.
Just watched your first vid on the 43x, now this one is up... Must be a sign I should get a new Glock.
I bought a G43X and absolutely love it. Shoots great and feels good in the hand with the full grip and easy to conceal. Definitely worth the buy and once you upgrade to some night sights 💯
@@Rdenieuwe91 That is good to hear. I handled one a few days ago and I liked the size/feel. Probably going to trade a 26 in for one here soon.
Der Schar great time also since now they have it in black from Glock I think they did away with the silver although I’m sure you can find them that’s what I have
I'm definitely going to get the 43x for IWB carry
And now 15 round flush fit mags for the 43x are a real thing
And the fact that Shield Arms makes the S15 Magazine and S15 steel Mag Catch, giving the Glock 43X the chance of carrying 15rds and a more durable mag catch... makes the G43X an absolute unit and a great choice for something more than a Concealed Carry.
Got a G48 and I love it! Getting a G43X for my wife soon 👌🏼
What made you choose 48 over 43x for your personal carry
Finally, someone who grasps the concept of “If your gonna shoot, shoot, don’t talk!”
Thanks Hick, because I really want to see what it can do before I listen to 5 minutes about the dang thing
I like the sound of shells under feet))) Thanks for the video!
@Betsy Ross 2a yeaaaaah
Do you pickup your empty shells. ?? Do you sell them if you do or do you reload ???
Just purchased mine. Perfect EDC, shoots great, loves heavy 9mm ammunition, I carry two fifteen round shield magazines that work great as well. Can’t beat a Glock.
