Absolutely! You can buy extended mags for the 43 and have the same capacity and handling of the 43x. You can also slim down with the 6 round flush mag. 43x you are stuck where you are unless you want to increase capacity. 43 is my edc.
Wife got a 43 when they first came out... had a many years, few hundred rounds now, EDC for her... Don't believe we ever had a misfire, malfunction of any type... Absolutely box stock and very, very dependable...
The 26 is same silhouette put them side by side it’s not much thinner I’ll take the double stack 10 round or plus 1 for 11 in the mag and takes real Glock mags 15,17,33 round no problems
Ben - that's a great vid... I wish I shot my 43 as well as you ... but I agree that it's very accurate and easy to shoot. Molds to my hand like it's part of it. I really wish they'd figure out how to get more rounds in there like the 365, but with such a light and small mag, it's easy to carry more. I've also always thought the release could use just a little more of a flare on it so it's easier.
The simple answer is yes. It's the only Glock I've kept. I added the Pearce +1 to the two mags I was running. Then a bit later I got a killer clearance deal on the FAB 10-round extensions and bought two additional mags to put them on. They work great. The gun shoots great.
@@ryanranard5187 crime only happens there, remember? We've had a lot of break ins and prison breaks in my area, and we've had people murdered at a gas station near my house. Crazy people travel our side road and where we live has limited cell coverage and only satellite internet at the moment. Our neighboring county met with some major local churches, one of which my family and I attend. They told our church that crime is increasing and said they encourage and support lawful carry and would not be enforcing anything against that. I never take a chance. It's like a fire extinguisher in a business-when did you ever use one last? It's there in the instance it is needed. I also work at a government facility (court house) we've had a shooting there before as well. The more an area and people lawfully carry, the easier it is to rival an enemy. Criminals are everywhere and they travel. Anywhere anyone thinks they're the safest is actually in the most danger because of that mentality in itself. Have a good one
I just paid 450 today at rural king as well which still is a fair price imo I could’ve saved a few bucks buying it on blue label but didn’t feel like driving an hour to that shop lol I actually prefer the 43 vs the 43x and 26. 🤷♂️ Shot the best for me out to 25yd of the 3 contenders.

Now that is a very ingenious point!
I love mine. It’s my EDC gun and I find it surprisingly accurate despite the short barrel
Awesome! Absolutely, they really perform great. Thanks for watching 👍👍
Never had a malfunction with mine, Great gun for those that don't "need" a bunch of ammo to feel good.

I like my 43. Also I hve the+2 & +3 Taran mag base plate. Never had a malfunction.
Great place you have. Saludos from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷🇺🇸
Thank you! I am very fortunate

Great gun, love the video. Subbing
Thank you very much!!
I would say it's irrelevant due to the 365. But the 365 rusts so damn easy, I'd rather have my old 43 back now.
"Glock: $300.00 in Parts from Perfection"
(A customized 43 is my favorite compact.)
I like small pocket pistols but im not a fan of the 6 round mags, thanks to the fab defense +4 extensions its more comfortable
Good to know!👍
I got the Pro Mag 9 round mags and they work great as well.

I cc this on my leg and a gen5 17 on my side every day. Thanks for sharing this
That’s pretty cool! Hey thanks for watching👍
Good grief. Where do you live Chicago?

@@ryanranard5187 I replied and now the comment is gone
For glock? Sure. The M&P shield plus kinda beat it for me tho
That's right.In the army they tought us K.I.S ..keep it simple .Good job brother
Thank you
I almost got this over the hellcat osp lol i chose the hellcat cause 1: better capacity, 2: room for attachments and i just liked it better 😁
You like what you like, nothing wrong with that. Hellcats are pretty cool btw 👍
If you didn’t know, you can get a Glock 48 and use the 43 slide and then you have a 43,43x and a 48.
If it goes bang it will always be revenant
Absolutely
The fact that you said you can buy a G43 under $400... where?
I was on a video a few minutes ago and someone was saying the same thing. $380 out the door. I paid $450 for mine out the door at Rural King
You can find them on the used market. LE trade ins are typically sub $400…I don’t see new ones for less than $400.
I got mine for $360 at a pawnshop, came with a holster and night sights
@@cesarrobledo2583 that's a good deal

Sucks versus the S&W Shield Plus.
Shield Plus by comparison is heavy and often difficult to CC in tropical areas where I live. I carry the G43 for that reason.
No. Outdated relic.
You just lost credibility for ANYTHING in one stupid comment 😂🤣😂
@@rickybristersmusic3658You pay $600 for a $300 pistol....you NEVER had any credibility 🤓
