Sorry but I disagree and I’m not an old man yet at the age of 53… I prefer the Kore or my favorite Nexbelt with the ratchet system which doesn’t even allow the HC belt in the same category hands down and twice on Sunday 😊
@@joshuarich4714 Yes I have and not knocking the belt because it’s a good design but I still love the solid ratchet belts a little more 😁 but just my opinion tho
Just put the katana V3 on my 43x. Instantly improved my grip on the gun. I don’t have the biggest hands either and I definitely noticed a difference. I highly recommend you get one if running a 43x.
I cook at a diner and have carried the 43x with T1 Axis Slim and the Kore Essentials belt since the craziness happened in 2020. Everything from meats, cheeses, toppings, hash browns, fried foods... I mean everything is in refrigerated drawers below the line, so I spend 7 hour shifts, constantly bending to get stuff. It's easy to forget that you're carrying: It's that comfortable and no one has ever mentioned it. It's like socks and underwear... It's part of my wardrobe.
No that’s not why 😂. Having 15 in the 43X will never change the fact that it won’t shoot like a compact or full size handgun will. Also the 43X will never take the double stack 9mm mags. So you are totally off but that’s okay.
@@gaberohrbach7542 yeah that’s true but also considering that now streamlight came out with a 1000lumen light for slimline pistols it’s pretty even. But the 43x can take a rmr or sro you’ll either need to have a plate or mill the rear posts on the mos rmscc cut
@@Mozetty Didn't know that but Glock's decision not to make 15 rounders has nothing to do with the G19. Glock could eliminate the G19 lineup and use the 43X instead, and just increase the price of the 43X. The reason there aren't OEM 15 rounders is because all Glock mags have a polymer "case". The shield mags can hold 15 because they're nothing but steel. Glock would have to completely deviate from their mag standards and design their own. And no, it's not as easy as just removing the polymer
I’ve been carrying 43x for over 2 years now and it’s a solid gun. I started with the shield arms mags for edc until the gun was dropped in a little bit of mud and had non stop issues. I’ve had no issues with the stock mags and for that reason I will stick to the Glock mags for edc
just get a 48 mos same frame as the 43x and slide is just a bit longer on the 48. Also if you have a 43x slide you can put it on the 48 frames basically two for 1
I use the 15 round Shield Mags as well, but i did install the metal mag release. I use a magwell also and it does aid in better reloads. Great video as usual. Cheers!!
If you are looking for a solid leather belt check out Mack belts. Comfortable for me and traditional, just don’t use ddc clips bc they can shred any material, leather especially(I don’t prefer ddc anyways, non-issue for me). I also enjoy the hunter Constantine belt too. Those are my go to belts
Keep it stock it's made for concealment. Really, you are going to put a red dot on a small gun when most firefights are within 7 yards? If you can't hit a target with 10 + 1 than it's not going to make a world of difference with 15 rounds. Also, there are states that only allow 10 rounds in the mag. The pistol is accurate and reliable the only tangibles I look for in a pistol.
As a revolver guy who Carrie’s every day everywhere I jist can’t get over pistol guys carrying backup magazines! I mean, do you live in Chicago? Are you a cop? Revolvers- even 22lr 8 shot or n frame snubby 357/38+p smith and Wesson 327pc are just awesome. No jams, not accidental misfire in your pocket or appendix. Avoid the clubs and dodgy gas stations and never get road rage. You’ll be good. Wheelgun it!
A good leather belt can work, but most people will find a carry centric belt like the one from EDC Belt co, Tenicor, Hunter Constantine/T1C will offer the best experience.
When Glock released this with 10 round mags instead of switching to steel so they could fit 15 rounds like the Shield Arms mags, it cemented my opinion that Glock does not give a single fuck about their customers.
@@nathanthornton102 Reliability is a requirement for any handgun. You can get the same level of reliability out of Hellcats and P365s if you complain about them and send them back to Sig. You and I both know you shouldnt have to do that, but when glocks are so far behind in terms of capacity and modularity saying "Oh theyre reliable" doesnt matter in my opinion. You still cant get 17rds with the same slide to grio height. Ontop of that they dont care about their customers.
That’s a bulky set-up, keep it simple just bring the gun alone with 15 rounds on it, much handy, years back people only carry a revolver with 6 rounds with no extra ammo, you won’t need more than 15 rounds in a lifetime unless you purposely go to a Ghetto place or a Gangsta area.Holster companies let you believe you need a spare mag.
do you have any concern about the gap in the holster near the trigger? i find that having the 43x with a light makes all the holsters seem kinda sketchy near the trigger. i think its cuz the lights are usually wider than the weapon so the holster has to be wide near the trigger to fit. im worried about drawstrings or something finding their way in there
That holster is ridiculously large. It’s like a boat anchor wedged in one’s pants. A better option is the Vedder light tuck IWB holster and the spare mag in the pants pocket.
I'm amazed that people think they don't have printing issues. Look when I stand here you can't see it 😂 People that know, know. Everyone else, who cares!
Thank you for this informative video and thank you for not having any tattoos. There are so many posers in these gun videos, it’s ridiculous. It’s refreshing to see someone who isn’t trying to show off.
If you’re asking a question like that you must have a tattoo. Up here in NYC you have idiots with trash tattoos like an ak-47 on a forearm or an infant in diapers holding a samurai sword. It’s true, I’m not lying. If teens and grandmothers have tattoos, you know it’s seriously played out already. It’s hilarious how they like to show it off in different ways. It’s like smoking cigarettes. Your friends smoke so you’re going to smoke too which makes anyone a follower. I’m sure these words may hurt someone’s feelings but it’s the truth whether you believe it or not.
Good Lord, how much do you think he gets paid to make this many commercial plugs for different companies? Never mind the fact that the Glock 43X shoots like shit.
I personally don't carry in the gym, yet that is... You never know when you will want to be armed. Great information on functional mobility/range of motion while also carrying. Informative in the least.
Why would you not want to carry in the gym roidraging dudes or a female by herself. The child care is right by the front door it’s a no brainer for me. They have off body options too?
I have an idea, instead of carrying a Sig p365 or a Hellcat pro with 17rds, lets carry a G43X thats thicker, that has 10rds in it cause its lighter. Wait, what is this? They make 3rd party mags? Wow how does a 3rd party mag go from 10rd to 17rd? Oh.... it doesnt.

I think the PSA mags are better, they work with the factory mag catch and always worked with no issues.
agreed I have three PSA Mag with two Excess arm plus 5 and a plus 2
The Kore belt is awesome but after trying the Hunter Constantine, I will never go back. Night and day difference in comfort
Agree 100%. Kore belt gave me right hip pain. Constantine belt solved that almost immediately.
Same!!!!!

Well considering that you can put a surefire x300 or streamlight tlr1 and a full size red dot like an RMR or SRO is an advantage for the 19

By any chance have you shot the Hellcat Pro Comp, and if so, how does that compare to this comped 43x? Thanks
Glock 48? Instead of adding length
Did you use a Glock 48 holster to fit the compensator?
15 rounds a piece, comes with 30, so... You don't have 1 in the chamber?
who worksout with their gun in their waistband....
This pistol optic phase is wearing me out.

Both with a We the People holsters
What about the Kore leather belts?
Lose the extra mag and the 15 round mags which u will never use and it will feel even better.

Please do a glock19 or glock45
