just randomly stumbled across this video trying to see other people’s g43x builds to get some inspiration for mine and honestly i’ve fallen in love with the look of yours man, looks amazing!!
I really appreciate the video. I just bought my first pistol today I went with the 43x mos. I fully went in the shop with my mind made up on a G19 (like most usually do lol) but when he brought me the 43x and said try this one too while your here, I fell in love. I don’t know what it is about this gun but every time I put it down, waited a few mins and went back to it, it was like a glove in my hand. I really wanted to get a 19 but I had the convo with myself in my head, and knew I was only getting the g19 based on things I saw in videos. The 43x mos was actually in my hand and it felt “like the right one” lol
How has it been ? lol
Been looking for some info on the 43x mos as a new add to my EDC rotation and I absolutely love your build! Not only that but your video quality and the info you share is so helpful. I was originally jumping back and forth between the 48, 43x or p365xl to bring into my rotation but man I think you may have swayed me into the 43x! Earned a sub here, can't wait to see more builds from you!
Haha heck yeah dude!! Thank you man. Those are all great options but I love my 43x mos haha
Rotation? About as dumb as this guys video game version . Same tool all day, every day.. anythingnelse is just for show.. just like his little terminator 43x... Get a 43x, SA 15rd mag, quick clip-maybe 2,and if you can't handle any situation with that, you're trying too hard.
"The original kit website I used previously restricted what I could link, so I just *built my own website* so I could link whatever I wanted"
What a power move.
lolol it had to be done.
Your videos are fantastic. The editing is great and recommendations are solid!
thank you bro!! seriously thank you!
I got the same gun a couple days ago for my 21st birthday and I’m close to finishing the build already, I’m making it similar to yours while also keeping in lines with my state laws but thanks for this video!!
heck yeah bro!! im stoked for you man, its such a fun build. youre going to love it! also happy late b day bro haha
Dope video as always bro can’t wait for your channel to blow up I’m 100% sure it’ll happen in time. Everything about to video is on point
Brandon Thank you so much bro!! I hope it will blow up one day haha
@@GUNMENusa how do you feel about the black arch mag angle being more straight up compared to the tier 1 being more slanted
@@brandondaunce1788 i actually don’t notice it that much! It’s not enough to change my draw 👌🏼 so no big deal!
Your videos are very professional. I would’ve never guessed you had 5k. Definitely deserve 100k. Subscribed💪 keep up the good work brother!🫡
I really enjoy your videos dude.
Keep it up.
Thank you bro!! More to come!
The Talon grip pro version has almost a roofing tile texture and its amazing! My hands slipped on the rubber version and the granulate was too abrasive, but the pro is the way to go!
I just pulled the pro version and went back to rubber. The pro rubbed too much
love you're videos keep the hard work
Thank you bro 😄🙏🏼 will do!
Those clips are made by Discreet Carry Concepts and you can purchase them individually and put them on any holster you'd like. I personally have them on a crossbreed holster and I love it. They also make that other style holster clip that has the bolts side by side with more of a square shape on some more basic Kydex holsters
Had mine for a while got 2 shield arms Mags, Factr USA trigger, ameriglo sights, recover rail with olight mini 2 then a awesome sidecar holster made by slimfit holsters a really good holster up there with tier 1 and trex arms.
Excellent! And, your cadence detail in presentation is on point. Well done. Unfortunately, the Katana mag well seems to be on backorder. Boo. Do you have a vid on barre/comp combo? I'm gonna mod mine for that, I suspect.
Love these videos man ✌ I'm looking at buying the 43x this week as my carry gun. Been super hesitant though as I want more than 10 rounds and heard so many bad things about the S15 mags. Looks like I might just go with 1 of these other options that give a few extra rounds if they are reliable 🤙 otherwise it will just be the 19 gen 5 instead
Thank you man! And hey nothing at all wrong with the 19 gen 5s! I actually originally was going to pick one of those up until I found the g45. You can’t go wrong either way man!
I like this video man. Was looking for different options and, simply, different ways the 43x MOS could be modified. Straight to the point, clear and consice descriptions. You didn't try and hit us with the, "But first, let's go into what ______, really is." 🙄
Subbed*I
Great video! Definitely should have way more subs! Great website too!
Thank you bro!! Workin on the subs 😄 maybe one day!
I've had my 43x Mos for a year now with holo 507k and SA gen 1 15 rd mags.
Mags fail to lock back on last rd
507k just died on me, changed the battery for a premium battery, worked for a day and died again.
Going to get with holosun to see what they can do but I've learned that I actually prefer irons tbh.
Good video and nice build. Have you looked into the Shield Arms magazines, I really like them. The Empire Katana is awesome.
Can you do a brief cleaning/maintenance video for EDC. This is info I think a lot of people, including myself, could use a lot more of. Thanks brother keep up the super high quality content.
I stand corrected from my last comment in your last video on the magwell. You are right the Katana is way better, feels better than the shield arms as well… great content as usual…
hahaha the katana man!! such an incredible magwell.
I just got my Katana today and my TRex sidecar great vid looking for the best upgrades that fit.
Heck yeah bro!! I love mine! 🔥
Cool Glock and i like the quality of the video very profesional 😎
Excellent video. Subscribed!
Thank you bro!!
not gonna lie i gotta feeling u gonna get the glock 47 when its comes out and you gonna make everyone fall in love bro💯I love the setup the tape been trending lately
Amazing! Thinking about getting a Glock 43X. Seems like its the go-around for conceal carry right now. Love the setup though! Thank you for sharing.
Right on! thanks for watching man! I would defiantly go with the 43xmos. its such a solid gun!
That's one clean 43x
Love the way you have everything set up. Its so easy to click on the list below and find what you're looking for. The goon tape is out of stock do you have any suggestions on where I can find some?
Makes me happy to hear bro! I tried to make it easy! And dang man they are always out of stock 😬 hmm let me look around I’ll keep you posted
what made you choose the 43x over the 365? currently reviewing the Hellcat Pro but all three ive listed are the debate for me to conceal at the moment lol. Great video boss!
Are you going to have your slide milled for the RMRcc? I had CHPWS do mine, and it turned out really well.
i got the GS +4 extensions for the OEM mags and same issue they only hold +3. but they work great! no jams or hiccups.
Ooo good to know bro!! Thank you for the heads up 🙏🏼
Stealing your build buddy. Super Clean
Would you consider a comparison/contrast between the 19 MOS & the 43X MOS?
The printing on that holster is wild 😂
The threaded barrel you have on there did you have to buy the piston to make it fit as well? Love the way this one looks.
I really wanted the S15 to hit the OEM reliability level. While I appreciate the ingenuity of Shield Arms, I just can't suppress the alarms in my head about the possible reliability issues. Maybe things will improve in the future, but for now I am rocking stock 10 rounders with a back up +4 for EDC; I am confident that I can do work with 25 rounds should the situation arise.
Great videos, and I look forward to more content from you in the future.
What +4 did you go with and how reliable is it? Thank. new 43x owner here
@@BananaRaid I bought some of the Ghost Inc. +4 base pads. They are polymer instead of aluminum, so they add minimal weight. Functionality seems fine with manual loading tests, but I am hoping to get out to the range with them over the next couple of weeks.
I will report back once I have done some testing.
@@jt6980 I've actually also went with Ghost Inc and the +4. Although I've yet to take it out to the range, the +2 they offer is very comfortable in a side car and adds minimal print. They also both look fantastic imo
That empire katana is mean as hell. I’ve got the shield arms premium magwell. It’s like the katana. Really a nice magwell still
Awesome build! What mag extension is that ?!
What trigger are you running and what’s your review of it ?
I have the Glock 43X MOS with shieldarms S15, one 15rd mag (flush fit) and two 20rd backup mags work great.
jelous
@@GUNMENusa go ahead and order some for yours
@@southerndad68 haha so i have 2 of them but they jam in my gun like crazy so I cant use them.
“I MADE THIS FOR YOU” hahaha love the content!
Haha thank you bro!! 😂 I watched that back and laughed at myself. Definitely a highlight of the vid 😂
Nothing beats a tricked out g43x and nice hot pot of Kool aid
How does it conceal with the extended base plates? Obviously it's gonna stick out more, but is it super noticeable?
And I love that you put in the "I made this for you" clip. I love that video.
It’s not noticeable in my opinion! But I wear layers or baggy clothing 😄 so it just depends on your style. I changed my style actually so I could carry what I wanted 🤷🏽♂️
And bro, one of my fav videos from back in the day haha
Ghost plus 4 works flawlessly and is only 20 bucks.. Ghost extensions have always worked for last 15 years I used em..
It's just a sleeve n comes with a new spring n uses the oem glock plate.. Its flawless and light...
Nice vid. Does the new magwell require aftermarket mags?
awesome build bro! great job 🔥
Did you every get the extentions from glock store and if so did you like them better than the tryant extentions?
have you tried the shield arms mags for 15 & 20 rounds?
Which polymer mag release do you use? Is it stock or aftermarket?
For anyone who wants to know….the Forward Controls Design Mounting Plate For GLOCK 43X/48 MOS is compatible with the Trijicon RMRcc.
Which holster would you prefer?
Great video, homie. Did you go back to the stock magazine release or are you still running the Shield Arms release?
Thanks bro!! I’m back with the OEM! 100% reliable is my goal with this gun 😄 had to be done
What ammo are you using. Since I’ve switched my magazine to the Shield Arm and changed the magazine release. Seems the only ammo I can shoot out of it is practice ammo. Anything else and I have problems with the gun
The XS night sights…you have suppressor height or standard? I have the same set up as far as optic. Need to upgrade iron sites
Glockstore has the mag extensions on stock. Did you get em and try em already? Since it looks similar to shield Arms
I just got a 43x mos about a month ago. I got the Shield S15 mags. I love them. Is there a reason for not going with them?
I got the same Magwell now I’m just waiting on Empire’s optic plate and trigger to deliver. I think once that build is done it’ll be my first video
bro heck yes!! tag me in the video! I want to see!
@@GUNMENusa first video up!
Great vid. Btw for tyrant design +4 ext. did you have to change the mag catch Jst like the shield mag?
So I actually just run the OEM mag catch! They run perfect!!
Could you remind me what iron sights you put on it?
How's that holster compared to the werkz m6?
Anyone know which Dawson Precision iron sight sets would be compatible with the 507k? 1/3 co witness or full.
My guy made a Julian Smith reference. I knew I liked this channel. Would you ever consider having your grip stippled? Wondering if it’s worth or just stick to talon grips.
Hahaha Julian was my hero in high school 😂 and I did think about doing stipple work, but because I conceal it I thought it might rub my skin off so I went with a softer option 😂 but I’m not against stippling! Just depends on how you plan to carry
Are you still running with the Entrada Holster ? If you had to choose between it and the Tier 1 what would you choose ?
new vid coming soon on this but I would go Black Arch. Less expensive, better lead times, and it clicks in. both are good options though!
You need the shield arms magazine with the +5 extension, can't go wrong with 20+1!
I have 2 but they had so many issues in my gun jamming I couldn’t run them reliably sadly. I’m still diagnosing the issue
@@GUNMENusa are you running the 1st gen or second? Have you replaced the mag release?
I’m going to need that Glock 45 video stat! I own a Glock 45 mos in my opinion it is the best Glock something about that Glock 19 slide on that Glock 17 frame just warms my heart lol and they are extremely versatile! I would love to trick out a G43x like you did but I can’t bring myself to drop that kinda coin into a gun that is designed to hold only 10 rounds. If Glock have came out with the OEM Glock 43x 15 round magazines I would be all in lol I spend to much upgrading my Draco and Zastava M92. Pistols taking a backseat for a while lol You keep making these video I’ll keep watching! 🤙🏽👍🏽
Haha bro I love it!! And I’m working on the 45 vid right now!! Hoping to have it finished in the next 2 weeks. Yeah this is a pricey Glock that’s for sure 😂 but I absolutely love it. So worth it to me. I can totally handle the 13 rounds because of how much I love the gun 😂
@@GUNMENusa In all actuality I’m just extremely jealous lol keep doing your thing man!
Any reason you're not using Shield mags? even the flush mag from Shield gives you 15 reliable rounds, higher cap than your giant extension. Tbh even with 13 rounds that first round was popping up a little delayed!
Love the content! Can we get a light review? Looking to get a new one love to hear what you’d have to say!
oh absolutely bro! I do talk about the streamlight TLR7-sub in my full review! Feel free to checkout this vid! ua-cam.com/video/An-8e65rcqw/v-deo.html
You should check out the magwell an mag extensions from SLR Rifleworks
Have you tried the Wrekz M6 IWB holster?
I want that gun just like that!!
better get the 17 if you're after higher caps, besides, the "concealability" of the 43 seems to be ignored...
Good video, Very well put together, the Glock 43 is a great platform. What gun grease do you recommend rather than traditional lubes. I'm asking for a grease because do to the current situations and cost of ammo I have not been going to the range as often, however I want to keep my guns lubricated. So what do you recommend?
heck yeah bro! so actually in my kit I do use and recommend this 3 in 1 lube and protectant. check it out! "Mossy Oak Gun Oil" third one down! www.gunmenusa.com/must-haves
@@GUNMENusa thank you
You got a shopping list to all the parts?
Love your bracelet
I have the same plus 3/4 it does the same thing
Bro do the iron sights you run cowitness with the Holosun? I need to get that adapter but I’ve heard mixed reviews on it. What are you thoughts? Great videos btw! Cheers
They actually don’t! But I can still see them both perfectly through the optic so even if my optic went out I can use them 👌🏼 iam looking into nightfision sights as they have a suppressor height option for the 43x mos! I’ll keep you posted!
And I’ve never had a single issue with the CHPWS adapter plate! It’s widely used by law enforcement as well so I definitely think it’s one of the better options.
You make me feel bad for not showing any love to my G43X mos. Awesome set up no doubt!
Why rmr cc? Just want to know your perspective.
I had a quick question does the tyrant designs extension slide off easy...I got two and they silde off my mags really easy.
dope build tho 🔥
Thank you bro 😄
Great video! Where did you purchase your thread protector?
it came with the silencerco threaded barrel! Defiantly check them out. They are really good!
Have you considered getting an s15 mag and have a flush fitting mag with 2 more rounds of capacity?
Heck’s yeah! Checkout the latest 43x update vid!
Could you make a video about how you would conceal carry while wearing a shirt tucked in (professional) and how you would carry while going to the gym?
Maybe a jacket or ankle holster.
Ooo this is a sick idea!! Both things I do regularly actually so I’ll definitely look into making a video for both!
@@GUNMENusa 😃 I'm so excited to see!! There is hardly any quality content out there about that. Thank you!
Wow you just sold me on upgrading to the 43x
Haha heck yeah bro!! You will love it!
What edc belt you using?
Why aren’t you using shield arms mags?
What guide rod are you using?
If anyone is looking for a reliable plus 4. Ghost inc makes one that I haven't had any problems with at all. Uses the OEM parts to do you just change the base plate switch over the spring and go.
Hey man 👋 nice vid
Thank you Mike! You da man
So I just got my gun and I’m learning about accessories and add ons, can anyone help me and let me know if the tip of the gun where the bullet comes out from, is it an add on or does the that part come with the gun? And what is it properly called?
Did you ever get those shorter screws for the holosun so your screws aren’t interfering with the extractor? So you can use the 15 round shield arms mags?
So Shield has my mags right now so I havent been able to try them out yet! But I will defiantly keep you posted on if the short screws work for me or not!! BTW where can I buy those shorter screws??
@@GUNMENusa idk how I missed this but I’m glad you were able to find the screws and take advantage of the shield mags. Love your content bro.
Do you know when goon tape is coming back
My all black glock 43x I love it I don't have the mos one but later on I am tho and this video is awesome
Thank you bro!! Such a great gun!
After months using the JG trigger would you still recommend it? I have read reviews about it not being safe or reliable. What is your experience?
His original trigger I’ve never ever had problems with and I have them in 2 of my Glocks that I shoot all the time, but I did build out a new 43x mos with his vex trigger which I have experienced a couple issues with but it could be the new gun so Johnny and I are diagnosing it right now!
If you can get his original designed combat trigger it’s been 100% perfect for me
@@GUNMENusa thanks for the response brother. Keep up the high quality content.
Subscribed as soon as I saw Julian Smith lol
Try S15 shield mags,. I've had. No problems. Not one 15 rds
Great video, are you on Full30?
thank you man! and no but I probably should be haha
Did you change the recoil spring at all? I noticed how easily you press checked it. Or is your spring just really broken in?
I made it look easier than it was haha it was hard to pull but it looked smooth on camera!
I usually jus put one in the chamber then load 13 in the mag!!
On the JGlocks site. Which trigger upgrade option did you select? “No thanks” … “Striker” … “JG Flatface Metal Shoe” …. “JG Flat Face Metal Shoe & Striker” considering getting one.
full package! shoe & Striker! the full package is what makes the trigger feel so smooth. you need it all man! worth it!
why did you go with the red dot over the green dot?
The magwell was made out of aluminum, so its high strength corrosion resistance stainless steel?
