The Glock 43x MOS. It is not pleasant. The odd thing is that the MOS (modular optic system) existed when the 43x came out. So why would you release the 43x knowing that it doesn't utilize all of the tools in your toolbox? Shield Arms mags are essential if you plan to get the G43x. Optic on the gun is a Holosun 407.

“Absurdly expensive” says the guy wearing Arcteryx 😂
Arcteryx and a pair of cryes 😂
"The red dot is more than the gun!"...but it's the gun that's expensive.
Man I'm having a hard time with this one. First off, the gun is like $485 at most places when it's in stock. Secondly, every upgrade that you listed is an upgrade we all do on our 19s and 17s anyways. Red dots and flashlights being expensive is not a con when you're buying a gun specifically to put a red dot and flashlight on it. The reason you buy the MOS version is because you plan on dumping money into it. If it doesn't shoot well, fair enough. It probably shoots the same as the non MOS 43 and 43X (not sure if you hate those guns too). Talon grips are like $15 if the grip is that terrible, and if your gonna spend the money on a stipple job, its probably cause you were planning on it anyways. I'm just failing to see how this gun is any different than any other Glock as far as it's flaws.
Agree.
Yep! Agree. Saying a whole lot of nothing like most UA-camrs. People just don't have critical thinking (or listening) skills. You can get Talon or Fox grips for $15, A powerful mini Olight w/laser for $110 and TruGlow night sights for $60 (which are excellent sights!) I have all of these on my Glock. You can get great quality products at pretty cheap prices. Some people just want to spend a lot of money on certain brands because others do. And you can get Sig or Shield mini red dots for $199-$299 that work just fine, which I also have. People need to stop being so weak-minded and easily persuaded by UA-camrs or anyone else and start using more critical thinking.
exactly, and really you dont HAVE to stiple it. put some talon grips on it for a few bucks. last video ill watch from this dude.
Apparently the Romeo Zero is among the optics that fit without an adapter plate. It has a nice profile. As usual with Glocks, mounting screws are an issue. If they're too long, they'll interfere with the slide's operation.
Their 599 not 485...
damn, if i wanted to hear a mall ninja talk out of their ass about a new gun i would've gone to my local gun shop xD
I carry a foldable Glock cause I'm too special for a holster 😉
Lmaooo right thus guy
@Filip Mejstřík. People don’t know what kind of commentary they’re going to have when they click on videos from uploaders that they’ve never seen before
This guy reminds me of the guy that comes to by your car but then kicks tires for 20 minutes telling you all the things he’s gonna have to do to it to make it drivable. Plus he comes off as really whiny, just my opinion of course
Completely agree
Let the butthurt flown through you. One day you'll realize that Glock isn't always perfect and it takes large chunks of cash to make a stock Glock as good as some other stock offerings out there (CZ, HK, etc)
@@dilldowschwagginz2674 Ummm...there's plenty of people who work stock glocks just fine. Some people just don't deal with the ergonomics well and they should stick to other manufacturers. But my G19 Gen 5 is stock and I have taken to to competitions and my only complaints are the halfmoon cutouts which can be fixed with a dremel, and I don't have an optic. Other than that I like the trigger even compared to some other very nice guns that I have shot (I started with a P228 and a tricked out 1911 an instructor had at the range I would go to where they rented out guns). I also shot a P320, M&p 2.0, CZ when I was purchasing my G19 and I would say I was marginally more accurate with the CZ and the Sig and that was after not shooting for a couple years prior to gettibg my permit...
Long story short is the Glock isn't the problem...if you put in the time to practice youd presentation you will probably do just fine especially at the distances that a self defense situation might happen inside of. The best part is the gun will work.
I would like to get my hands on some other pistols but right now I am limited to my P365 and G19. Hopefully I can find something that fits what I am looking for that is also CT compliant soon.
hes the kind of dude to tell you its a piece of shit truck cuz he just bought a similar model about the same time except without a trailer hitch.
Although... It's kind of refreshing to have someone on UA-cam who isn't just pushing products for their sponsors.
Your dog looks you in the eye while he is pooping because he knows that he is at his most vulnerable point and he’s watching for you to alert him if danger arises.
🤣
I always thought it was a dominance game ,,,,, I feel bad about the garden hose sprayings now .. both the cat and the dog .....and the mailman
Line up the sights of your dog, sike him on it about 4 or 5 rounds, when he drops finish him off with a round/dump on the head, while he’s watching you closely, giving you the eye, I love you, feed me, so I can poop some more.
You’re right my dude. My dog guards me when I’m pooping , showering or brushing my teeth. She was sit and just stare at my wife lol
15 minutes of the 17 minute review was spent bitching about the cost of aftermarket modifications to the gun instead of talking about the gun itself.
Right smh
I'm not sure how the gun being cheaper than the modifications is a negative but this dude died on that hill 🤦♂️
If the MOS is what you were wanting....you should have known it was coming and just waited for it. Patience is a virtue they say.
I have the G43X mos with a Holosun 507k and S15 shield mags and I absolutely love it. I upgraded it with Tyrant Designs steel mag catch, slide stop and slide back plate, then slapped on some talon grips. I paid $450 for the G43X mos. $229 for the 507k. $80 for the mag catch, slide stop and slide back plate. $20 for the grips. $50 for CHPWS base plate. $60 for a Tulster oath holster. Well under a grand out the door for a fantastic carry gun and full package is IMO a great deal. Far from the $2,500 this guy is claiming. The trigger isn’t the best but it definitely isn’t the worst.....I do plan on upgrading it in the near future. This dude is just bitter that he overpaid for a G48 before the mos version dropped
This dude says a lot without actually saying anything at all. Not very intelligent.
Yep! Agree. The case with most UA-camrs. People just don't have critical thinking (or listening) skills. If you want to get accessories, you can get Talon or Fox grips for $15, A powerful mini Olight w/laser for $110 and TruGlow night sights for $60 (which are excellent sights!)

He made some good points, but it took almost 6 minutes before he made the first one. That's how it goes with UA-cam videos, where most of what is said can be extracted into a couple a paragraphs that you could read and absorb in a few minutes. I've seen much worse, where the guy on camera not only didn't write a script -- he didn't even create an outline. That causes going in circles, beating to death insignificant points, going in circles, and meandering off the topic. Compared to that, this guy's not bad. At least he's personable, if you have time to spare.
Yeah that was 17 mins of my life ill never get back .. horrible review
I like him.
Honest Outlaw is the best youtuber for gun reviews and content.
“All they did was add the MOS cut!!”
Uh, yeah.... IT’S THE “M O S” MODEL!!!!
Are you gonna be okay?
True lol they also added a rail so.
longer handle, added proprietary rail and optics cut.
@@Mowgli1894 really? The handle is longer?? Does this also apply to the 48?
The light rail is worth it by itself.

My 43x l has been my edc for about 3 years, with about 3k rounds down range. I trust my life with this sidearm
@@aaronkirsten8079 kinda snappy but it's a great gun.
The gun is worthy of your trust but those shield arms S15 magazines are unreliable junk imo. I just run OEM Glock mags in my G43x and I don't feel like I'm at a real disadvantage. You can get baseplate extensions for those mags too.
@@armorers_wrench nice, I have 2 gen 2 shield mags, I have about 500 rounds through each with zero issues. My 43x is my favorite EDC, im saving up to get the slide cut & add a RMRcc. What issues are people been having with the mags?
@@mattconklin4026 how much snappier is it compared to a glock 19 or 45? I'm trying to decide on a firearm and live in a 10+1 region so capacity is not much of an issue but shooting experience is very important to me since I am looking primarily for home defense and a distant second for a very occasional carry.
@@red2977 so I would recommend a 19 in that case. If it’s for home defense and barely for edc, Glock 19 is a better option.
Just bought my 43X MOS and it cost $469. Add $189 for a Sig Romeo Zero micro dot. I’m calling it good.
Man that is a steal. That's cheaper than the standard 43x around me and I can't even find a 43x MOS in stock without paying absurd markups online. I am so envious of you.
Interesting observation, earlier this year I have purchased a Glock 43X with Ameriglo night sights cost $445 before taxes and fees. Then I purchased a Sig P365XL and installed the Holosun HS507K and it changed my mindset about open reflex sights. Fast-forward to the beginning of August of this year and I picked up a Glock 43X MOS for $409 before taxes and fees and installed a Holosun HE507-GR for $277. I also installed a 3.5 connector cost was $24 along with added 3 Shield arms 15 round magazines. I agree with the trigger on stock Glock not being smooth. However the Double Diamond 3.5 connector made the trigger press smoother for a small price of $24. The aforementioned handguns are my off-duty concealed carry weapons, I also carry a Glock 42 since 2014. The Glock is a fine shooter for self defense. The 43X MOS is easy to conceal in beach attire compared to my full size 1911 I use to carry before 2014. I have a co-worker that owns a Staccato C that cost him $2,300 and I have shot it at the range many of times. I am considering buying one because it is a sweet shooting weapon as it should for the price of admission. I will still carry the Glock 43X MOS with the Holosun while off-duty.
I like my 43x 🤷🏻♂️
I’m about to get mine soon..the reason I chose the 43x over the 48x is because I used to carry a G19 and while I had no problems carrying it, was when I would bend down to grab something or tie my shoe lace or put on my shoes and that extra 0.5” inch would dig into my pelvic bone..I don’t have this issue with the P365 that I currently carry and will be passing it on to my girl when I get this 43x.
Me too it great
Me 2.....great with the Shield Arms mags! 👍🏻
Me too! I also bought the shield arms 15rd magazines for it.
Mines great as well.. I can only have the 10 round mags😭😭
Just got the 43X. Because I wanted a minimalist carry gun (no light, no optic), the other stuff is on my 365X. Took it out to the range this weekend and I am blown away. The grip, size, trigger (yes the trigger is really good for a Glock), and capacity (with the S15 mags), make this the best carry handgun you can CC, in my opinion. I have carried a G26, G19, several revolvers, and the 365XL, which I honestly did not love….. we all know the 19 is the benchmark but can bet a little bit for some situations, the 43X or 43X MOS if you “think you need” all the extras to throw on your gun (please argue about carry pistol lights below), is a Glock 19 with a slightly thinner frame and shorter barrel, same capacity. Ideal.
Why would you want to put your life in the hands of an aftermarket magazine?
@@dannysan1272 you've watched too many negative youtube videos regarding this topic.... the answer to your question is because I bought the magazines and tested the gun with said magazines, all kinds of ammo, including expensive carry ammo. It works fine.
Because it has 50% more round capacity and still feeds reliably.@@dannysan1272
@@dannysan1272 I can vouch for him on that man. I have the gen 3 Shield Arms and have put over 500 rounds in it and no jam. From 115 grain to 124 grain + P hst hollow point to 147-grain hollow point hst. That thing ate absolutely everything. Gotta clean ur gun and mags every range day if you shoot a lot or after 500 rounds for me! I would trust my life with it.
Keep it as small as possibly. Isn’t that the point?
I love my 43x. So much so I bought two

@@Krysis219 gunbroker prices aren’t bad at all. I just got a Gen 5 19 for $540. And a G45 for $500, both factory new
I have a 48 and like it a lot. But when I tried my 43 slide on it- effectively turning it into a 43X- that slide stays on it most of the time. It draws faster for ME with the shorter slide, and feels noticeably lighter IWB carry. Simple Talon grips fix the grip perfectly for me. I did add a nice trigger and TruGlo sights, Shield Arms mags and catch, but it's a daily carry and shoots great for me. In fact, it's my favorite carry ever. And I just don't feel a need for MOS in a compact carry weapon- which is good because I'd feel pissed if I did...
I think it's priced well. I paid 499 out the door for my 43x. Also if you're going most and buying a red dot, then why upgrade irons? The sights on it are serviceable as a backup. You'd have to spend all that money on those things for any other glock. I don't understand his argument really.
I just got my 43x MOS with the ameriglo tritium sights from Glock through thr blue label program for 599$ Hard to beat with prices how they are.

Tacticool review
The 43x is great. It is far superior for concealing in the waistband, especially if you have to sit down. I can't think of a reason to own anything between a 43x and a 17, anymore. 10 rounds is a lot more than 6 (the 43) and 7 (the SW shield). You can easily carry it with no belt and ulti clips. Im not sure why you think that you need to put an optic, light, and stipple on it. I don' know what you have planned for this gun, lol, it is perfect for its intended use. Having a full grip, when changing mags, makes it worth the upgrade (alone). Maybe you need a 43 if you are a small person, or a 19 with a 30 round mag if you are wearing some tactical pants and plan on running into battle, but then why not a 17? This gun is certainly not a miss, it is just the right tool for a situation that you don't think you will be in.
I agree with the guy that the gun has no grip texture but to say "you have to get it stippled" is so stupid. Just buy a $20 talon grip that unlike a stipple job can be replaced when it wears down--and stipples do wear down.
they have steel mags flush fit 15 rounds. base plate 20
sig 365 and the xl version have all of those things out the box. The 365 made the 43x obsolete until the sheild arms mags came out. How long will glock people rely on the aftermarket?
Lol, the 43x is certainly not obsolete. Also, The aftermarket is an advantage . You can easily and quickly get anything you want for them, including holsters, blue guns and air-soft replicas, and even STL files-you can print them in your home if you want, along with the mags. So, to answer your question, never; the aftermarket support (and community) is the main selling point, right behind the record of reliability. You can choose to bash whatever guns you want to justify your purchases, but I like to appreciate them all for their intended uses and unique advantages. I hated Glock for a long time, back when I didn’t know much about firearms or how to shoot. Are you going to make me choose between Honda and Toyota, next? Or perhaps between cats and dogs?
@@ryanandrews8224 is that a serious question ? You kind of gave glock a comment without even mentioning it … they have the best aftermarket support and my fav is a 320 m18
43x mos is an amazing gun. Paid 480 for mine. Added a streamlight tlr6, romeo zero red dot and stuck on some grip tape. All and all sub 800 bucks.
Really don't know what the issue is here.
Edit on the Romeo Zero because fuck that optic. I now run a Holosun 407k, much better option with actual real glass for a lens. So total cost is like 900 bucks now. Still no biggie.
Yea, this review is just terrible.
It seems like he just tried to sound as dumb as possible.
@@RJ-li2xd there's this place called 911 Rapid Response in Annville, PA. They make most of their money off the police and first responder gear they sell, so they choose to make very little money on Glocks.

@@hilcup1ify yes, perfectly so. Need to change the mag catch to their steel one, but it works flawlessly.
The sig 365 is kind of shitty. I bought an XL and regretted it immediately (it does have really nice sights though). The P10S is the ultimate carry gun at this point for a full size man.
Ya Glock always run ass backwards!!! I do love my Glock 43x it’s amazing for conceal carry.
I was a LEO firearms instructor back in the 70's, 80's and 90's. Mostly carried a Colt 1911, until the county bought us Glocks. I didn't want to switch but had to. Once I switched I was and still am a solid Glock guy. Just picked up a 43x MOS and love it for concealed carry. I chose the Romeo Zero to mount on it. The stock sights co-witness fairly well but could be a touch taller. I did have to shorten the Romeo Zero supplied mounting screws a touch with a small file.
I saw one of these for 409 but I have a g42 and kinda happy with that due to the fact that I upgraded everything from sights to the base plate to hold more rounds but the g43x is cool but I’m still not sure
If you add stippling, optics, a light, etc. you’ll have over a grand in this gun. Well no shit. You have over a g in a fuckin hi point if you did all that. Idek what your point is lol
Nowhere near wtf
That’s about what YTber Talon Sei sold his special 43x though Danger Close Armament for $1599 w/o optic & $1999 w/ Shield RMSc. I agree with someone else here that might as well get an STI/Staccato. But anything now is going to be ridiculous

I’ve shot both back to back and there is a slight difference in recoil but for a summer edc it’s perfect. I’ve caught myself sometimes not wanting to carry because of printing and how uncomfortable carrying a bigger weapon can be. The 43x is by far the most comfortable pistol I’ve carried.

I purchased the 48 as a slim alternative for the 19, for my girlfriend. It's a nice firearm. The 43X made no sense to me until Shield came out with the 15 round mag. But once that was out, the 43X became a good option. I'm still not sure it fits into the "micro-compact" category, but you won't find anything smaller that can hold 15+1. I prefer the 365 or 365XL, but have no problem carrying a stock 43X with the Shield mag.
The Hellcat holds 15 now with a stock mag. It's 2022.
The 43 MOS is an excellent pistol. It's a perfect size and with the 15 round mag it's a winner
When it came out it was around 450ish. Price when up $100 due to the 2A scare.
Yeah that happened to my Dad. He bought the G45 and about 60 days later the MOS model came out.
Lol I stayed with you and I get it I’d be pissed to. I just bought the 48 X mos modular optic system.
I picked up my 43x mos today and took it to the range. It fired flawlessly and felt great to me. Well, it's a Glock so that's what I expected. All stock for now. Was easy to handle and of course spot on in the accuracy department. I love it! It's going to be my ccw so I wanted something small but not too small. I feel like I made a great choice. Can't really go wrong with a Glock! Reliability is paramount to me and if anyone says otherwise about it, they're lying!
I’ve never heard someone cry so much about a gun, Jesus my guy the wambulance is on the way
Your entitled to your opinion. I have the 43x standard model and I love it! I think it’s a fantastic edc gun. Cheers from Texas.
I do love my 43X MOs, but I have to agree with a lot of points you are making. Im counting the dollars as I get it outfitted and it hasn’t been cheap. I did go 507k due to liking them more than the rmr cc so that cut some cost plus I also put a talon grip on it for now vs stippling (I’ll have it stippled later). It’s expensive to outfit this gun no doubt, but I think it will be worth it. Current set up on mine- 507 k, c&h plate, sandman mag well, shield arms mags & mag release, talon grip, overwatch precision tac trigger & ghost edge connector.
M&P shield 1.0 apex trigger and 2+ mag extension making it 10+1 for the pre panicdemic budget edc win!
I have a Shield 1.0 with a KKM barrel, TT +2 base plates and night sights. My gun shop laser cut grip to balance it. Hit a chicken sized/shaped silhouette at 100 yards with 147gr ball ammo. If we ever get carry in Hawai’i that’s my carry gun or my P-10C
M&p shield set the bar years ago. There's been lots of offerings since that are enticing, but none good enough to make me change.
None of these upgrades have to be done. I bought a set of night sights and I am good with that. The G43x MOS shoots great, carry’s great, and feels great. I’ve shot the G48 as well and did not notice a difference. They both shoot better than the Gen1 Shield 9 that I had. That’s been my experience at least.
Homie really tried hard to dump on the 43x. LOL
I’m surprised that you find the 48 so much more comfortable than the 43x, I’ve only shot the 43x, but it was fine for me, It was the older non MOS version, seemed like a nice gun, but for daily carry I would go with a pocket .380 or maybe the Sig P365, I don’t carry large guns.
So let me get this straight.... you're reviewing a Glock when you don't even know what the "M" in "MOS" stands for?
Glocks are the Honda’s of the gun world. They run for life and have an obscene aftermarket to support every customization you could want. IMO they don’t add much to their design bc so many people want to do their own thing with them. In that sense it is indeed the “perfect” platform. For the record, I also really like the S&W 2.0 4 and 3.6” 😉😎💯🎄
The one thing I agree with is the bringing the MOS version out way later that is just trying to drive sales up.
Mine sits in a drawer. Once I switched to carrying appendix a full sized 17 or even 34 with an RMR and light is completely comfortable and concealable.
Manufacturers want you to buy everything they make. Their goal is to obsolete what you just bought. Started doing it about 100 years ago. Surprise.
I love the way my Glock 43x shoots. Its main purpose is to be concealed!
I have a 48 and just got the 43xmos. Your right about the pricey add- ons. No holsters available because of the non- spec mini rail😖! It also only takes mini red dots and the only rail accessory is the overpriced SF light all $$$. Shot ok, but didn't do a side by side with my g43, g48 shield and sig 365. I'm ordering stick-on grip panels, sorry no soldering iron artistry for me!
Can someone please point me on the right direction of getting a 43x MOS. I’m in Philly and visited 4 shops and they don’t have any and can’t place order.
so its bad because you bought a gun right when they dropped a new one with bells and whistles?
then complains about the price of the gun and the best optic on the market being expensive- then dont buy the trijicon

Loving the fact that you are packing your Costa VIP...I carry mine everyday, everywhere...unless I'm at work on Cherry Point or Camp Lejune (or out on the boat, then I take a "disposable" G19).
I always take my entire gun collection with me on boating trips, just in case... 😂
@@Libertarian_Neighbor
I see what you are doing there...
Stay safe out there guys, boats often have accidents
The aggression is wooooow! I carry the non mos 43x with some night sights. Talon grips so you don’t have to stipple at all. It fits in my outer vest holster. The 48 doesn’t fit, that extra little length digs into my rib. I qualify with the 43x fine. My duty pistol is a Springfield trp. It has a lot of character marks but it’s the ultimate smoke wagon. I carry 79rounds on me. 8 round plus 1 in the gun and 7 10 rounders. Just my opinion sir. You do have a great channel.
I ran sig p229, p365, hellcat, kimber Micro9, lc9, and finally when the glock 43x came out hands down best concealed carry out of all of those i have big hands im 6.2. 230lbs and it feels as comfortable as my g17 when shooting since its the gun that I depend on saving me, my family, or any other random act a violance I made sure it handle and shoots just as good as my glock 17. First day I bought it I shot 500 rounds not one jam ftf or any shooting problems I stomped it, threw, shot it and 2 years later still carry it every day while pouring concrete setting forms driving, it goes where I go its a part of my every day items knife, wallet, keys, stack of cash, and now 43x my opinion only problems so far a the cheap sights front one is chewed up rear site is slid to the left I don't use them any ways I run it with hand eye and I hit center mass up to 15 or closer every shot running a gun corse sorry for long comment on your video but if someone is looking for information on this gun you went about it in a way that angerd me
You know what’s funny? I carried a Glock with the stock sights for years and did competition with that gun. I shot a guy with that gun and the one thing I can tell you is I never saw the sights during that shooting.
You don't aim like you're at the shooting range in a confrontation. It's point n shoot at a close range. A gun is a tool...buy one, get familiar with it and stick with it.
Everyone wants to be tacticool instead of practical.
Yea but just because it worked once doesn’t mean I’d risk my life to them. They do not work at night, and the biggest point is that they’re shitty plastic. If you drop you gun when the time comes you can sheer them straight off. If you’re in an actual gunfight with someone else shooting back who isn’t 5 feet away you’re going to want to aim. It’s a $70 upgrade, it’s not a big deal
@@americanmade3970 sometimes it is and sometimes it isn’t. Depends on your level of training, I know plenty of people who got to their sights in a gun fight. Also people who didn’t, there’s no hard fast rule. But I do know this, people who are against red dots for the sake of being stubborn and know it all, are people who have never had a red dot on their handgun. I can shoot the dime out of a bullseye at 25 all day with a RMR. I shoot better with it, so I’m going to use it. 10 years from now people are going to look at people talking shit on red dots on pistols the same as people who talk about running irons on rifles
@@OutSkirtz practicool LOL😎
You got my like and follow just because how raw you are lol

Just bought my gun a few days ago. Love it. Haven't shot it yet but I love the feel. Red dot should be coming soon from Swampfox. I own a G19 and it's great. But I want something smaller. Carried the sub compact Springfield xd when it first came out years ago. Wish I never sold it, it was accurate as $uck. But each to there own.
I get what your saying. I agree the red dot is more then the gun etc etc .
"I debated myself" 'nuff said.
Thanks for the honest review. I almost went bought one. I built out a sig 365xl and just like you said total cost:$2800. I think ill just buy the staccato 2011 ♠
Saying this gun is a big miss is like those idiots who said the Ipad was a miss by apple. Gotta love it.
I wanna get this gun just can't find it anywhere.
Check GTdistributors and keep an eye on it when it becomes available. I ordered a G17 gen 5 from them a while back and they shipped it to my FFL of choice fast.
@@vinh1360 I've been trying to get this gun for almost 6 months. Every single place that has this model online at the $485 price tag sells out in seconds after making them available for purchase. I say this because I've added this gun to my cart so many times only to receive an out of stock at checkout. It sucks. I'm not blue label so that's another reason that makes it even more difficult to get myself one.
About 3 months ago I placed a backorder with GT and I'm still waiting...
Yesterday I was alerted via email, KY Gun had the G43X MOS back in stock and I was lucky enough to get myself one for the whopping $620 price tag no sales tax and free shipping, ended up costing $90 more than if I'd have purchased at my local GT Distributors after sales taxes. I'm OK with that.
Now I'm just counting the days for this gun to finally arrive at my FFL. I already own a 507K with big buttons since early September.
Been waiting Glock Store to fulfill my backorder on 3 S15 mags since early September as well... Today I ended up purchasing 2 S15 mags directly from Shield Arms. Customer service tells me they usually fulfill them in 3 to 4 weeks up but it can take up to 60 days.
Tough times to buy anything online, from firearms, ammunition to video games and graphic cards.
2020 has been such a shit year.
Surplus Ammo & Arms in Tacoma,WA had one in stock today for the corona price of $750
@@g_dawwg I end up getting Glock 43x 630 with tax from buds gun shop
I got one and it’s badass
3:36 exactly how I feel about the Shield Plus and the recently announced optics ready Shield Plus. The optics ready Shield Plus came out a few months later with night sights and an optic cut which is exactly what people wanted with the original Shield Plus.
They charge wayyyy toooo much for that performance center shield plus....they won't get away with that.
Just like how the original shield became a 199 special at palmetto. I'll buy the plus performance center for 450...I'll just wait!
@@CuttinInIdaho The Shield Plus is a new gun released in a market and economy that is currently insane. Smith is also moving out of Masshole to a free state. When Beretta did that a couple of years ago guns and mags dried up for awhile as they were setting up the new plant. I'm willing to wait till everything settles down.
@@Ideo7Z true. I'm just whining lol.
@@CuttinInIdaho Fair enough
most entertaining review ive ever seen😂💯
Lol! So I guess we still sticking with the 365 XL? I’m loving mine!
XL all day
@@1911syndicate LOLOLOLOL
Literally the only “reviewer” I’ve seen that doesn’t love the X
I just purchased the g43x mos with red dot and light to replace my sig p320 as an edc. I ride sport bikes a lot and can’t carry it unless it’s in my back pack. I’m hoping the g43x mos will work on my bike.
I was the same, had to track down the 43x during corona time, had to get it shipped form a different state, and now it has a mos and rail, I want it, and now had to sell my gun at a loss to get this one
i actually prefer a smooth grip so i can use skateboard tape.
You should look at the shadow systems MR920 war poet it’s amazing I love it!!!
I’m seriously considering that gun if ever I can get it when it comes in stock. I’d love to go train with WPS and John Lovell pistol and rifle
The gun is amazing I waited 3 months for mine. And yes a class with John is probably just as hard to get but worth it I’m sure.
I have the MR918 Elite with a comp. It shoots stupid flat.
After acquiring one of the most badass pistols now sites are set on Type A. AR-Pistol
You just earned yourself a subscriber 👌🏾👌🏾
Dang seems like every compact gun they make is snappy, I guess cause they are so short.
I have 5k through the 43x and 1k thorough the 48. I honestly can’t tell a difference between the two when it comes to recoil. A good stippled job is absolutely necessary to run the gun to its full potential. And I don’t recommend the shield mags. Mine have been terrible.
Hey to each their own
@@1911syndicate of course man. Gotta find what works for you. Just reporting my findings 👊🏻
What’s wrong with your shield mags?
@@stultsn Magazine induced failures every 100-200 rounds.
Longer barrels easier to conceal?
Needing a top of the line light and red dot sight and professional stippling to shoot a sub-compact?
Complaining about capacity while reviewing the smallest gun to hold 15 rounds of ammunition?
Comparing it's performance to guns in a separate category rather than the likes of a Shield or a PPS?
This was good for a laugh though, thanks ^^
This review is such a joke lol
Off topic what’s model of jacket 🧥. I know it’s arcteryx.
Gamm MX
My friend has one. I like the slim profile and it is well made. The trigger sucks compared to my p320s. I say just get the non mos one and put a good trigger in it. Leave it mostly stock. And why does glock not make extended mags for it?
I love this guy's sarcasm.
What sarcasm?????
I got a couple regular 43x’s that shoot pretty good. I bought them after my P365’s started destroying themselves... too bad I really like the 365, but I lost all faith in them. As it stands now I would take a G48MOS any day over the 43XMOS. And I would take the 365 XL over the regular 365.
How were the 365's self-destructing?
i agree, p365xl is the one to rule them all, but why the 48 over the 43x? i think the 43x is nicer looking and a smaller package while retaining same size full grip for 15 round mags. felt a 48 at my lgs recently and it felt nice, just trying to see the real world benefit over a 43x
@@anonypersona3189 As I approached 500-600 rounds both my P365’s were showing greatly accelerated internal parts wear, striker/firing pins especially, and then the extractor stopped extracting on both of them. Could not get through a magazine without one or two failures. Too bad, really liked the pistol.
In other words my experience is almost identical to the military arms channel.
@@brighthought11 The only real advantage the 43X has over the 48 is that conceals better for off body carry. From appendix you’ll never notice a difference. The longer sight radius and reduced recoil of the 48 are the two biggest advantages. That said... my EDC is a 43X, my wife also. I sold my old model G 48 in anticipation of getting a G 48 MOS, and now they are as scarce as hens teeth.
I am looking at the Glock 45 X MOS, do you recommend that over the 43X MOS?
Funny video, I enjoyed your sense of humor. I have the 43X with big dot sights and hogue grip. ~$100 upgrade. If I grabbed the MOS version, I'm sure I would be dropping a lot more on optics and holsters. Not a fan of flashlights/lasers on my carry guns.
Accessories are going to cost extra on any gun you chose to put them on, not just this gun. If you do want to get accessories, you can get Talon or Fox grips for $15, A powerful mini Olight w/laser for $110 and TruGlow night sights for $60 (which are excellent sights!) I have all of these on my Glock. You can get great quality products at pretty cheap prices. Some people just want to spend a lot of money on certain brands because others do. And you can get Sig or Shield mini red dots for $199-$299 that work just fine, which I also have. Nothing personal against this guy, but people need to stop being so weak-minded and easily persuaded by UA-camrs or anyone else and start using more critical thinking.
But you don't have to replace the factory sights on a CZ P-10 or Sig X series (among several others). In order to get your Glock trigger to be anywhere near as nice as the CZ P series, you're going to have to spend a couple hundred more bucks. Is Glock bad? Absolutely not - I'm carrying one right now. But let's not pretend that they have it all figured out.
@@dilldowschwagginz2674 Don't know what your point was in relation to my initial response to this video, especially saying "let's not pretend Glock's got it all figured out." My point wasn't about defending any specific gun. I'm not a fanboy of ANYTHING. I could care less. Guns are just tools to me. Much of this guy's argument were simple fallacies and that's what I was pointing out. Just looking at many of the other comments, many people thought so as well. But it's the case regardless.
Olight charging system is unreliable I've sent back 3 lights for charging issues
Go with a glock 30s or 30 accurate ass hell for me
LOVE my G 30S! Had it milled for MOS and yup ... cost a couple $$ to do that. Added a C5L laser/light on the rail
I had Agency Arms build my 43x. I didn't spend $3500. Even got the Titanium trigger they offer.
He-purse is the word you were looking for said like in deuce bigalow
A. talon grips are $20 and great
B. romeo 0 or holosun 407k is $200
C. why would you bother replacing the irons if you buy a red dot? stock are perfectly fine as backups
D. you dont need a light on a carry gun but if you feel you do a tlr6 is more than enough and is $120.
im not a glock fanboy. just stating facts.
If Glock made factory 15 round magazines for the 48 MOS, I would be all over it.
That would be a wrap
I love when Jakes running hot! Makes my day!
So you're saying because you gotta spend more on it (which everybody does with their glocks i.e. mags, sights, triggers, stippling) makes it not worth it?
talon grips, the 407k that's on the gun, shield arms mag... you're set. I just saved you 1k.
ps. I love your channel, I hate glocks and love 1911s. but you made that gun costly lol
Haha, sounds like you enjoy the good stuff too
Same as me. G48, T-grips, Shield Arms mags and 507K red dot. Done. Under $900
I love my 43X. Got it on sale for $400 but I definitely wouldn’t spend the extra money for the MOS version.
I guess I'm just to old school. I've been carrying the same lite weight 1911 commander in 9mm for the last 8 years. I'm just not jumping on the newest train. But nice video nun the less 👍👍
Did u upgrade your mag release to run the s15 mags ?
