Hey donut, Love your content man, shout-out to the mayonnaise backpack! Good old days 💪🏼😎 anyways hope you're doing well, I'm so glad you and all my favorite UA-camrs are homies haha
As an ex LEO who is an enthusiastic HK "only" kind of guy , I found even my P30SK ( although a sub-compact but still a double stack ) was a little bulky and uncomfortable to carry concealed for more than a couple hours. Then , the G43 comes out !! I was feeling like I was "cheating" on HK when I held the G43 , BUT I was sold immediately...I can carry this gun ALL day and almost forget it's there...THAT'S exactly why it was produced and it's perfect for the task. Now , I find myself wanting one of these G48's as well...a slightly longer barrel and an extra 4 rounds while still THIN and comfortable as a single stack - perfect for hiking in the woods if a little more velocity and accuracy is needed but still concealable and comfortable to carry. I have to admit , Glock sees a need / desire from concealed carry individuals and GETS IT RIGHT...NICE JOB !!!
Finally someone confident enough to be honest about their hand size in a gun review. Super stoked Glock finally made the 48. As a “shorter” (5’7”) guy it’s hard to find honest gun opinions from other guys with smaller/wider-than-long hands, even some people I know personally with my exact hand size pretend they need the large grips lol
I am 6'1" and find myself having to readjust my grip frequently when shooting my 48. I am considering installing the larger backstrap as the grips are a little small for my hands and I get a little slippage when shooting.
Finally put the first 100 rounds through my 48 the only thing not to like about this gun is the trigger, I can even deal with the Glock sights but I will be changing the trigger
@@dragonballjiujitsu I hate striker-fired but I just bought the 48 to be my gym/belly band gun. I love single stack but won't accept .380. That narrows it down for sub-compact. I also love CZ P-10s.
Well it is because they bought a gun that was not as good as a Glock and so have to make themselves "feel" their gun is *not that bad.* So they bash the Glock and lie to themselves.
Great video. For a long time I've thought a slim grip Glock 19 would be a great pistol. The G48 fills that role well. I bought one yesterday afternoon and shot it briefly last evening. It was completely reliable with 68 rds of JHP and FMJ ammo. I thought the recoil was nice and not snappy. The trigger pull is good. Ammo can cause a malfunction. I really like the G48. I carry a G43 for deeper concealment.
I'm 5'8" and 160 lbs. As a smaller framed shooter with smaller hands the G48 is a home run for me. It's relatively thin and lightweight, easy to carry, and it fits my hands perfectly. Nothing against double stack 9's like my Walther PPQ M1 which is an outstanding handgun, but there absolutely is a role that this gun fits into that others don't. Thank you Glock for making a concealable yet highly shootable 9mm!
Glocks by their original design work 99.9% of the time. Gaston glock got it right from the start with him taking his time and not rushing a proven, shootable, reliable piston with no more than 35 parts. No other gun maker has been able to compete or produce a pistol with no more than 35 parts that works dirty, wet, dry & funky and still comes up going BANG.
@@Levi-wk2hg my SW9VE was the first pistol I ever purchased. I still have it and it has been flawless (~700 rounds) which is why I'm hesitant to get rid of it. Internally it IS a Glock for cleaning purposes. But, I would sell it and my Ruger P95 to buy a G45. Or possibly another G42 which I have come to love for EDC.
@@charlietuna1971 keep your ruger, sell the s&w..which good luck getting more than 250 for it. Also sell your glock 42 amd get a 43x. If a nuke drops your 43x will melt but your ruger will be just fine. Until then you can conceal the 43x.
I held a G48 at my lgs, and I have to say it is the most ergonomic Glock I have ever held. I am thinking about picking one up in black when it arrives in the shop.
Absolutely!!! I EDC the G48!!! The absolute best ergonomics of any Glock out there!!! I installed a Hogue Grip on my G48 & oh my God it’s just even better!!! The G48 will always be my choice of carry!!!!!

We'll both end the fight with shots left to spare but only you will enter the fight with a massive chance of catastrophic failure. 😂
When I bought my first Glock a few years ago I did something similar. I fired it without cleaning until it failed. My Glock 17 Gen4 went through just over 1600 rounds before I had a failure to feed. I was using IWI ammo. I have to say I was very impressed. Wish I would have taken a picture of how dirty the gun was before I finally cleaned it.

I don't understand why width is being used to place this firearm into the subcompact category when it's height & length is basically identical to the Glock 19. Since width is what you're using, does that put the Glock 26 into the compact or full-size category?
Glock 48 is now one of my favorite guns especially after adding Talon sandpaper grips. The grips make a huge difference with the extra recoil. I have about 600 rounds with ZERO MALFUNCTIONS. Added the Shield 15 round mags too. Way more comfortable to carry concealed. Try it and see what you think..
loving mine .. only about 200 rounds so far but shoots great .. soon as I get a holster will be my new carry gun. funny how some people point out the extra grip length while putting extentions on their sig 365 , shield , xds and glock 43 to make more shootable
@@tenicorusa Who puts extensions on a P365? The Sig is smaller in height with the 12 round magazine (emphasis on magazine, not an extension) in the most important place that would possibly print. I like all manufacturer's... have a few Glock's but Sig introduced something innovative that still remains an engineering marvel. Glock takes an old platform, adds a built in magazine extension, paints it another color and voila... pure genius??? Nope... They took the safe way. I more than expect it to perform based on the 43's history alone but I was hoping for more from Glock. I'll probably own one after they find the black paint though. With that said... Sig, while having hiccups and not agreeing with how they were handled has ironed out the bumps of an innovation. Glock merely made something old... evolve. Hats off to Sig Sauer even after the rough start. Better trigger and sights standard on the Sig with the same pricetag. Haven't seen/read a negative review in quite a while. Above is all about the 43X and I realize your video is about the 48. As for the 48, to me just doesn't fill a need, unless you count concealment... in that case a 19 shouldn't be any harder to conceal than a 48 now should it... but 5 rounds lost... really? Rumor has it that Hickock45 (he likes Glock's) heard about these offerings, scratched his head and then he and his son both got new Sig Sauer P365's for Christmas.
The P365 ships with an extended mag just like the Shield. So lots of people are using an extend mag. I agree the 48/43x is no engineering marvel, but Sig's marvel didn't work. Sig has great ideas but is showing a pattern of guns with various problems. At this point, I would be reluctant to trust my life to it. Glocks minor tweak answers a real gap in the market. I understand that the internet commandos all think that it is dumb, but I disagree. It is the first of its kinda and a welcome change. 1/16 of an inch in thickness reduction does more to conceal a gun than 3/8" in grip reduction. I don't think that most understand this. That is why things like snap loops are still popular, but for those whose lives count on keeping the gun hidden while simultaneously needed to deploy it under pressure, fractions of inches in width reduction make a difference. The 48 offers the concealment of a 43/365 and the shoot ability of a 19. My tactics and skills drive my equipment selection not youtube celebrities. Off course this all my opinion based on my experience. I expect your experience is quite different, thus we come to different conclusions. And none of it really matters to anyone else. 👍😉🇺🇸
@@tenicorusa We don't disagree on everything. I agree with your point of firearm thickness being a giveaway (mustn't forget thinness equaling comfort) but a longer magazine area is very important as well, which is why the Sig is shaped the way it is in the rear portion of the grip, even on the 12 round magazine. Also the reason for holsters that include "the claw", which is designed to keep that portion of the firearm against a persons body. Again, Sig has ironed out the bumps of a brand new innovative introduction. As far as reliability? No doubt it was rough out of the gate but the P365 is something that sets a new standard and while I personally didn't like the way it was traversed... we'll never know the true numbers of folks who had issues. It wasn't only the internet commandoes that had issues as there were many on blog's also but I think things got blown out of proportion due to some wanting it to fail because it's not their favorite. I'd like all manufacturer's to due well which allows various options for all. As a firearm community I don't by into the bickerings when someone's life could be on the line. Personally, our family (not household) has 4 P365's with over 2k rounds each and haven't had a single malfunction. I know the Glock will perform and sell well. As I mentioned before I'll likely be picking up a 43x when Glock hopefully offers them in black. As for the Hickock45 statement, I'm certain he'll be owning one, if not both of the new Glock's. I just found it funny and good timing that they did buy P365's for Christmas. Thanks for the amiable conversation. Cheers and good luck moving forward.
I've shot a lot of my dads and other family members guns or rented them wen't and bought my first gun yesterday both the 48 and 43x felt great got the 48 because the slide is a little longer but with borderline smedium hands it felt really good especially with some dry firing trigger is a little heavy but I wrestled in college i have some heavy hands couple of rounds and i'll get used to it no problem.
Great gun but with the single stack grip the trigger ate my trigger finger up. Couldn't even get through a 10 round clip without stopping because the pain was so great. It was either a Bad trigger which felt heavy and more narrow than on my double stack Glocks, or my trigger finger is a whimp. Traded it for a Ruger carbine, finger is much happier now.
Nice review , thank you . I have seen a lot of review about that gun , and nobody speaks about the mount of a red dot on this gun ? Is it possible , no MOS yet ?????
I have and like a 19. I recently bought a 26. I'm learning to like it, shoot it twice a week x150 rounds per session. I now want the glock 48. I must be insane as I am not rich.
I feel confident carrying the 19. I am a good shot and feel I would have better than even chance of surviving a gunfight against bad men with it. Not so with the G26. Sigh. I suppose I will have to get the G48 after watching this.
Matt A It fits and feels great. I have one without the claw. The G48 fits great and it’s nice and snug. I’d recommend Vedder if you’re thinking about one.
I have gotten use to Glock’s bulky grip. However, I still prefer it to be slimmer. The grip on g48 is perfect. I agree that they should have made this gun a long time ago. That is their genius marketing strategy. Had they made it earlier. I never would have bought many of my other Glocks. This time, I will wait if Glock will make a version with a black slide with a light/ laser rail mount.
I Curia XD mod 2 40 3.5 inch I have well over 7000 rounds through the same barrel has Great reliable gun this particular firearm gets caught up around 400 rounds in a sitting then gets caught up about every three magazines realistically you’re not going to be firing 400 rounds check it out is perfect for Women and Man
Tenicor do you know which ammo was being fired at the time of the malfunction? Just curious, I’ve been curious about how the 43 sized spring on a larger/longer slide would perform and how it’s life span be affected, not saying it had anything to do with the malfunction but can’t help but wonder o_o
I got one last year and i bought frangible ammo which spalled the barrel making a squib and i was rapid fireing do the shot after it bulged the barrel do much it wouldn't cycle. Glock wouldn't warranty it the place I bought it from replaced it after, hammering them for selling me the ammo that caused it. The G48 had a thinner barrel than any other 9 mm Glock
I just purchased a glock 48 after after comparing it to the 43 side-by-side with a magazine in each. With the pinky extender on the 43 versus the flat base magazine of the 48 there was no difference in length of the grip but you do get 4 extra more rounds with a longer sight plane.
Did all of the dirt from around the muzzle clean off or did it stain in the slide? Just a thought, they have the 19 X and the 43 X for "extra rounds" so why not name it the 19 S (slim) instead of the 48?
I haven't cleaned the gun. I suspect it will be difficult to clean. People that shoot a lot don't like silver guns for many reasons ;-) I think the X is for crossover and not extra rounds. As in the 43X is a crossover of the 43 and 48. Glock can name it whatever they like.
@@tenicorusa or maybe extended? as in a 43 eXtended? either in grip or grip and slide as is the case of the 48? Think about the 19X... The eXtended grip.
It could be, however the Glock website says this for the 19X "GLOCK's first ever "Crossover" pistol, the GLOCK 19X, combines the best features of two of its most popular and most trusted field-tested platforms." The 43X listing does not speak to this or to an "eXtended" or "eXtra rounds" either. @@ralphedwards5849
I really like the 48, looks like I’ll have to buy a 43X also. I’m hoping I don’t get too lazy and carry this gun more than I do my 19. Not sure what to do yet holster wise
former pilgrim its nice. I don’t think you would be lazy if you started carrying a 48 as your primary gun. Tenicor has aiwb, iwb, and owb holsters for the 48 ready to ship! 👊
my we the people holster I used for my M&P Shield Plus 9mm fits this Glock 48 rather well...so, I traded in my Smith and Wesson for the Glock 48 and kept the Holster...win, win 🏆
Something that is not talked about much in regards to these small, slim profile handguns is that they are less forgiving to a less than optimal grip. Some of this is due to the recoil spring many of this class of handgun needs for mitigating recoil. It's not a ding on the specific shooter but something to consider when carrying a particular weapon. Know your weapon.
True, the ammo was 115 grain ball range ammo. The guns are designed around heavier 124 and 147 grain ammo. All in all 1 malfunction in 1000 rounds in 60 minutes is pretty good for a little gun!
Does ray shoot right handed with his left eye? Just curious cause i do the same because im right handed and blind in my right eye and handguns are the onlything i cant get down left handed really well
Yes, he did shoot cross eyed. Its really not big deal. Lots of great shooters shoot cross eyed. Just move the gun not your head. Thanks for the comment.
I've been saying it for years man it's all about that overall girth lmao on a serious note I recently bought a 48 and it fits better in the hand and shoots just as well as the 19 in my opinion and for an EDC, as a civilian looking for self defense outside the home, if I can't get it done in 10 rounds I should spend more time in the range
I use Amsoil 10w-30 motor oil mixed with atf-4 transmission fluid and Lucus full synthetic oil stabilizer. 1 cup motor oil, 2 tbsp trans fluid and 1 tbsp stabilizer. The trans fluid is an excellent rust inhibitor and the stabilizer absorbs heat while the PEA additive in the Amsoil protects from harsh primers and powder deposits. As a chemical engineer, I've found most "gun" oils to be nothing more than mineral oil with a few paraben based waxes. I wanted real protection at half the cost. I also use Supertech brake cleaner , "Chlorine free" to clean my guns. The aerosol gun scrubbers are nothing more than relabelled brake parts cleaner at 8 times the price.
I have never done an identical test with a G19. However, I have fired 10s of thousands of rounds through a G19 the number of malfunctions I have experience is very small. Even smaller if the issues specific to ammo are eliminated. The G17/G19 are the gold standard of reliability and have 100s of millions of rounds through the platforms with very little problems.
We don't know the answer to that as the 48 is new. But a 19/17 is the gold standard of reliability and it is the starting point for anything. @@genxer711
@@tenicorusa I would put the G26 in there also, I did a multi range session without cleaning, I was into 1300 plus rounds before I had a FF. I just acquired a G48 and like so far.
Internally it's not a new design. It's functionally a G43, all the parts are interchangeable everything is the same. All they did was change the grip portion of the frame, new magazine and mag catch/release with a extended slide and barrel. You're just parroting Sig P365 crap you probably don't even know what "striker drag" is.
the 43x felt better in my hand the 48 felt off balance both guns use the same grip frame with the 48 over hangs due to longer barrel and slide but uses the same recoil spring as the 43x
Why is 1000 rounds thru a Glock some type of spectacular feat? Didn’t they do a video on a hi point with 2000 rounds? For the price of a Glock 1000rds should be a the very least
Not at this time. The G43X is not particularly interesting to us as the added length of the 48 is not thing but a positive when the gun is worn inside the waistband.
Hey, im sure that issue you had was because of the ammo you were using. One of those cartridges were not compatible with the glock.. GLocks used as recommended out of the box, dont mess up..

Above is all about the 43X and I realize your video is about the 48. As for the 48, to me just doesn't fill a need, unless you count concealment... in that case a 19 shouldn't be any harder to conceal than a 48 now should it... but 5 rounds lost... really?
Rumor has it that Hickock45 (he likes Glock's) heard about these offerings, scratched his head and then he and his son both got new Sig Sauer P365's for Christmas.
The P365 ships with an extended mag just like the Shield. So lots of people are using an extend mag. I agree the 48/43x is no engineering marvel, but Sig's marvel didn't work. Sig has great ideas but is showing a pattern of guns with various problems. At this point, I would be reluctant to trust my life to it. Glocks minor tweak answers a real gap in the market. I understand that the internet commandos all think that it is dumb, but I disagree. It is the first of its kinda and a welcome change. 1/16 of an inch in thickness reduction does more to conceal a gun than 3/8" in grip reduction. I don't think that most understand this. That is why things like snap loops are still popular, but for those whose lives count on keeping the gun hidden while simultaneously needed to deploy it under pressure, fractions of inches in width reduction make a difference. The 48 offers the concealment of a 43/365 and the shoot ability of a 19. My tactics and skills drive my equipment selection not youtube celebrities. Off course this all my opinion based on my experience. I expect your experience is quite different, thus we come to different conclusions. And none of it really matters to anyone else. 👍😉🇺🇸

We don't disagree on everything. I agree with your point of firearm thickness being a giveaway (mustn't forget thinness equaling comfort) but a longer magazine area is very important as well, which is why the Sig is shaped the way it is in the rear portion of the grip, even on the 12 round magazine. Also the reason for holsters that include "the claw", which is designed to keep that portion of the firearm against a persons body.
Again, Sig has ironed out the bumps of a brand new innovative introduction.
As far as reliability? No doubt it was rough out of the gate but the P365 is something that sets a new standard and while I personally didn't like the way it was traversed... we'll never know the true numbers of folks who had issues. It wasn't only the internet commandoes that had issues as there were many on blog's also but I think things got blown out of proportion due to some wanting it to fail because it's not their favorite. I'd like all manufacturer's to due well which allows various options for all. As a firearm community I don't by into the bickerings when someone's life could be on the line.
Personally, our family (not household) has 4 P365's with over 2k rounds each and haven't had a single malfunction.
I know the Glock will perform and sell well. As I mentioned before I'll likely be picking up a 43x when Glock hopefully offers them in black.
As for the Hickock45 statement, I'm certain he'll be owning one, if not both of the new Glock's. I just found it funny and good timing that they did buy P365's for Christmas.
Thanks for the amiable conversation. Cheers and good luck moving forward.
@@1776REIGNS 👍
Thanks for the video! May go with the 48....all black of course....
Yes, black would be nice. I suspect Glock is just hoping to sell twice as many. 😉
Glock 48C is what I need!
To the dual recoil spring magically reduces recoil, i first noticed that feature on the gen 4 and my G35 gen 4 has way less recoil than the gen 3
I've shot a lot of my dads and other family members guns or rented them wen't and bought my first gun yesterday both the 48 and 43x felt great got the 48 because the slide is a little longer but with borderline smedium hands it felt really good especially with some dry firing trigger is a little heavy but I wrestled in college i have some heavy hands couple of rounds and i'll get used to it no problem.
Great Video, well done! Looks like I need to get another Velo....
For sure!
Great gun but with the single stack grip the trigger ate my trigger finger up. Couldn't even get through a 10 round clip without stopping because the pain was so great. It was either a
Bad trigger which felt heavy and more narrow than on my double stack Glocks, or my trigger finger is a whimp. Traded it for a Ruger carbine, finger is much happier now.
Agreed ! Ammo can cause malfunction
Did I just witness right hand left eye?? Great gun LOVE ALL GLOCKS!!
Indeed you did.
Nice review , thank you . I have seen a lot of review about that gun , and nobody speaks about the mount of a red dot on this gun ?
Is it possible , no MOS yet ?????
For sure, you'd just have to get it milled. Grey Ghost Precision makes slides for it with the Shield sight
Ok thank you for your answer
My buddy had a Springfield that went around 1599 rounds before it started to jam.
West Coast Armory North is mighty close to me. These fellas are local. Cool deal
I have and like a 19. I recently bought a 26. I'm learning to like it, shoot it twice a week x150 rounds per session. I now want the glock 48. I must be insane as I am not rich.
Its a sickness! The 43X and 48 are nice. Better shooting and easier to conceal than a G26.
I feel confident carrying the 19. I am a good shot and feel I would have better than even chance of surviving a gunfight against bad men with it. Not so with the G26. Sigh. I suppose I will have to get the G48 after watching this.
I just picked up one of these (black slide) today.
I haven't fired it yet and I just ordered a IWB holster from Vedder Holsters.
Nice!!!
Me too brother. Was on the fence about the 48 but due to shortages I was forced into it, but I’m actually excited about it feel like I lucked out
@@booAHHHH I took my license to carry test with this gun and it was a piece of cake to fire.
I got a g48 as well. How’s the vedder holster? I was looking at buying one with a claw for appendix carry
Matt A It fits and feels great. I have one without the claw.
The G48 fits great and it’s nice and snug. I’d recommend Vedder if you’re thinking about one.
Hello can you share the type of holster and tactical pants in this video
Tenicor VELO4 and 5.11 Jeans
Post election 2020 tests will read; 1 round test of Glock 48...
I have gotten use to Glock’s bulky grip. However, I still prefer it to be slimmer. The grip on g48 is perfect. I agree that they should have made this gun a long time ago. That is their genius marketing strategy. Had they made it earlier. I never would have bought many of my other Glocks. This time, I will wait if Glock will make a version with a black slide with a light/ laser rail mount.
... and they did ... lol
I would like to see slide release on both sides of frame.
Nice work on the video.
👍
Awesome Review 👊🏽
Appreciate it!
Just picked up the Glock 48 paid $400 came with four magazines never been fired
I Curia XD mod 2 40 3.5 inch I have well over 7000 rounds through the same barrel has Great reliable gun this particular firearm gets caught up around 400 rounds in a sitting then gets caught up about every three magazines realistically you’re not going to be firing 400 rounds check it out is perfect for Women and Man
Tenicor do you know which ammo was being fired at the time of the malfunction?
Just curious, I’ve been curious about how the 43 sized spring on a larger/longer slide would perform and how it’s life span be affected, not saying it had anything to do with the malfunction but can’t help but wonder o_o
It was Remington UMC 115 grain FMJ. It is likely that the ammo was significant contributing factor.
@@tenicorusa anything with remington in the name is definitely the contributing factor lol
I got one last year and i bought frangible ammo which spalled the barrel making a squib and i was rapid fireing do the shot after it bulged the barrel do much it wouldn't cycle. Glock wouldn't warranty it the place I bought it from replaced it after, hammering them for selling me the ammo that caused it. The G48 had a thinner barrel than any other 9 mm Glock
I plan on buying this model as soon as i get paid
I like the silver slide. Nice to see Glock try something different.
Where can I find a holster for the g48 I just bought one but nobody has holsters
Thanks what we do! Tenicor.com We have you covered on the 48! OWB, IWB, AIWB.
Glock 43 holster works
I just purchased a glock 48 after after comparing it to the 43 side-by-side with a magazine in each. With the pinky extender on the 43 versus the flat base magazine of the 48 there was no difference in length of the grip but you do get 4 extra more rounds with a longer sight plane.
Agreed. I think that is a good choice. You can also upgrade to the Shield mags and get to 15 rounds in a flush fit magazine.
@@tenicorusa I'm in CT where we can only have 10 rounds anyway. So the extra size of say a G19 is pointless.
That malfunction could very well be the cause of the casing of that particular round.
Would you recommend it for a first gun or the Glock 19?
IT!😇
Did all of the dirt from around the muzzle clean off or did it stain in the slide?
Just a thought, they have the 19 X and the 43 X for "extra rounds" so why not name it the 19 S (slim) instead of the 48?
hellhound713, nope. If that were the case, they would have named the 43 the 26 S.
I haven't cleaned the gun. I suspect it will be difficult to clean. People that shoot a lot don't like silver guns for many reasons ;-) I think the X is for crossover and not extra rounds. As in the 43X is a crossover of the 43 and 48. Glock can name it whatever they like.
@@tenicorusa or maybe extended? as in a 43 eXtended? either in grip or grip and slide as is the case of the 48? Think about the 19X... The eXtended grip.
It could be, however the Glock website says this for the 19X "GLOCK's first ever "Crossover" pistol, the GLOCK 19X, combines the best features of two of its most popular and most trusted field-tested platforms." The 43X listing does not speak to this or to an "eXtended" or "eXtra rounds" either. @@ralphedwards5849
Bent elbow one handed shooting equals jam. One handed shooting lock out elbow
you've convinced me :)
I really like the 48, looks like I’ll have to buy a 43X also. I’m hoping I don’t get too lazy and carry this gun more than I do my 19.
Not sure what to do yet holster wise
former pilgrim its nice. I don’t think you would be lazy if you started carrying a 48 as your primary gun. Tenicor has aiwb, iwb, and owb holsters for the 48 ready to ship! 👊
my we the people holster I used for my M&P Shield Plus 9mm fits this Glock 48 rather well...so, I traded in my Smith and Wesson for the Glock 48 and kept the Holster...win, win 🏆
Something that is not talked about much in regards to these small, slim profile handguns is that they are less forgiving to a less than optimal grip. Some of this is due to the recoil spring many of this class of handgun needs for mitigating recoil. It's not a ding on the specific shooter but something to consider when carrying a particular weapon. Know your weapon.
True, the ammo was 115 grain ball range ammo. The guns are designed around heavier 124 and 147 grain ammo. All in all 1 malfunction in 1000 rounds in 60 minutes is pretty good for a little gun!
What holster are you using?
chris settles that’s for asking all the holsters are tenicor. There is a Velo aiwb, Certum iwb, and ARX owb. 👊
Cross eye dominant or does he just like challenging himself?
If you're going to shoot with one eye closed, why does dominance matter lol!
Please tell me these will be available in california.
Yes, but you have to be one of the elite class. These are not safe for the average citizen.
Nice Kahr dude!
Does the 2nd guy have the wrong eye closed? Please explain?
Yes. His left eye is dominate so he shoots out of that eye. Not common but it happens from time to time. Thanks.
Does ray shoot right handed with his left eye? Just curious cause i do the same because im right handed and blind in my right eye and handguns are the onlything i cant get down left handed really well
Yes, he did shoot cross eyed. Its really not big deal. Lots of great shooters shoot cross eyed. Just move the gun not your head. Thanks for the comment.
@@tenicorusa my only concern was that i was sacrificing accuracy doing it.!!
@@joseph.stewart Switching eyes should effect accuracy in any way.
What holster is the Owb
It is the ARX. tenicor.com/collections/owb-holsters thanks for checking!
Did the slide come clean after?
Didn't really try. We keep our guns dirty!😂
I've been saying it for years man it's all about that overall girth lmao on a serious note I recently bought a 48 and it fits better in the hand and shoots just as well as the 19 in my opinion and for an EDC, as a civilian looking for self defense outside the home, if I can't get it done in 10 rounds I should spend more time in the range
What holster are you using to conceal this?
Tim Smith thanks for asking. Our Velo AIWB, Certum iwb, and ARX owb holster are all used in the video. Check them out at Tenicor.com. 👍
@@tenicorusa thanks!
Love G48
Tenicor, what oil/ lube/ CLP do you recommend and trust?
Slip2000 EWL is what I have used the longest. But I don't think it really matters too much.
Lucas Oil
I use Amsoil 10w-30 motor oil mixed with atf-4 transmission fluid and Lucus full synthetic oil stabilizer. 1 cup motor oil, 2 tbsp trans fluid and 1 tbsp stabilizer. The trans fluid is an excellent rust inhibitor and the stabilizer absorbs heat while the PEA additive in the Amsoil protects from harsh primers and powder deposits. As a chemical engineer, I've found most "gun" oils to be nothing more than mineral oil with a few paraben based waxes. I wanted real protection at half the cost. I also use Supertech brake cleaner , "Chlorine free" to clean my guns. The aerosol gun scrubbers are nothing more than relabelled brake parts cleaner at 8 times the price.
It would be nice of glock to chamber the 43x and 48 in 380 cal.
Love the 48 but my g45 is still my favorite glock 9mm
I bought mine about 2 months ago and STILL haven’t tried it out due to the fact that all the ranges are closed atm 🤬
I got mine like 4 days ago and wanna shoot it so fucking bad. Fuck the lockdown! Open the ranges!
Cool video
👍
Since I Open Carry, firearm size is no issue.
Did love the video though.
The 48 is the Goldilocks gun, especially for 10 round states.
Agreed!
Actually it was designed for import into Canada .
There is allegedly a 15 round flush fit aftermarket mag for the 48. If they become reality and WORK...I will own a G48.
Osnola Kinnard I was able to purchase the 15 round with my Glock 48 yesterday.
He’s been limp wristing it the entire video. Failure to feed was on him on that one
Im a beginner and own this gun. Can u explain how that was his fault? Just asking for knowledge thank you
Alexis Garcia I know I’m late but limp wrist absorbed the recoil, pistols rely on recoil to chamber next round.
thats what she said
I CANT WAIT FOR THEM TO MAKE 6 MORE GUNS SO WHEN I LOSE IT, I CAN SAY

How many mags did you guys use. ?

Pete Roe there nice!👍
I need a slim .357Sig/.40 Glock in the size of the 48.
Great video. Did you do a 1000 round test on the g19? If so, did it malfunction?
I have never done an identical test with a G19. However, I have fired 10s of thousands of rounds through a G19 the number of malfunctions I have experience is very small. Even smaller if the issues specific to ammo are eliminated. The G17/G19 are the gold standard of reliability and have 100s of millions of rounds through the platforms with very little problems.
Tenicor Which one would you say is more reliable the g19 or the g48?
We don't know the answer to that as the 48 is new. But a 19/17 is the gold standard of reliability and it is the starting point for anything. @@genxer711
@@tenicorusa I would put the G26 in there also, I did a multi range session without cleaning, I was into 1300 plus rounds before I had a FF. I just acquired a G48 and like so far.
How big a guy are ya? I say my hands are large for a 5’11 man
Striker drag on the primers???
Not sure.
Kam Fountain it’s not a 365
Internally it's not a new design. It's functionally a G43, all the parts are interchangeable everything is the same. All they did was change the grip portion of the frame, new magazine and mag catch/release with a extended slide and barrel. You're just parroting Sig P365 crap you probably don't even know what "striker drag" is.
Why are you guys shooting with one eye closed?
the 43x felt better in my hand the 48 felt off balance both guns use the same grip frame with the 48 over hangs due to longer barrel and slide but uses the same recoil spring as the 43x
Why is 1000 rounds thru a Glock some type of spectacular feat? Didn’t they do a video on a hi point with 2000 rounds? For the price of a Glock 1000rds should be a the very least
Ugly how dirty it gets with that silver side…. nice shooter. I shot one yesterday. thanks for the video
It's a Nice gun.
If those mag work, that would be great! @Michael Shearer
No test on the G43X??
Not at this time. The G43X is not particularly interesting to us as the added length of the 48 is not thing but a positive when the gun is worn inside the waistband.
Tenicor 🤔😂🤣😂🤣
Hey, im sure that issue you had was because of the ammo you were using. One of those cartridges were not compatible with the glock.. GLocks used as recommended out of the box, dont mess up..
LOL
@@chrisragone8785 : / ok, use non recommended ammo, and when it jams up your glock, during a serious threat to your life and you cant use your gun to defend and protect yourself? REMEMBER YOU LAUGHED AT MY AWARENESS MESSAGE!

That would be cool!
Is Ray cross eye dominant?
Yes, and he hasn't shot iron sights in like 8 years. He is one of the first people I know who went all in on the Red Dot.
DR. LongDick oh, the internet 😉
I noticed that. Cudos to him.
I do not understand this why not carry the 19??
Because the 19 is bigger and harder to hide.
