Is The Glock 43x A Good Carry Gun?

- I have been using the Glock 43x as an everyday carry gun and I have found it is great for everyday carry. It's compact and does not often print, even in summer clothes. What EDC do you run?

All I have to say about the 43x is,TRAIN with it (as you should w every weapon) but specifically spend time with that size of a Glock because 9mm is a lot snappier in a platform as small as that
I find it to shoot much flatter than most guns in a similar size.
Want to talk about snappy. My 410/45 derringer is one snappy pistol and the derringer in 45-70 "they don't make it anymore" is the snappiest pistol I've ever shot.......
Snappy and 9mm do NOT go together!!!
@@tjcmoto5484with nothing to absorb the recoil I doubt it's flatter. A hi point despite being junk it weighs significantly more and is probably the flattest shooting compact 9mm out of the box. Also if you use 1911 magazines and Polish the feed ramp the hi point will perform the Glock all day every day. Having an FFL is fun I can literally compare anything to anything at any time!!! 🤣🤣🤣 Glock sucks unless you build it. PERIOD!
@@joshuahockman1128 bruh a 45-70 derringer is a big jump from 9mm😭 of course it’s gonna break your wrist that’s why I used the words “ 9mm is a lot snappier in a platform like that”
@@alexbenavidez1142 smaller frame pistol than a 43x I know a 45-70 is a jump from 9mm my entire point is that a 9mm is not snappy 🤣unless it a 357 mag you are talking about the bullet for a 357 is just a 9mm bullet the only difference is the longer casing for the 357 same goes for the 38.
I know it all went over your head. It's ok, I promise! 🤣🤣🤣
Was between the 43x, hellcat, or p365 for my first handgun. Over time just got all 3 now I’m satisfied lol 👍
Which one would you choose over the other 2 if you could only have one ?
I bet p365 or 43x. I have a hellcat, and it is definitely snappy.
Shot these three to test which one I wanted and the Glock just felt right…hellcat felt like I had less control of but I also have weird tiny hands lol
@@j2trill766I have the p365 and it is really good
I have a hellcat pro I’m thinking of getting Glock 43x both amazing guns
Yep, I have one Glock 43X and just went up to Pennsylvania and bought a 15-round mag for it and a nice holster for Conceal & Carry.
@adriannarobeson4758 Hi Adrianna, just curious didn't they only allow 10 round mags in Pennsylvania? Thats great if its not like my sh1t state of Ca. Only 10 rd mags here! 😑
@jimmyjammer3660 not in Pennsylvania 30 & 15 round mags are legal but Maryland no a 10 round restriction, yes , that's why so many people cross state lines its legal because the 15 or 30 round mags or drums are purchased out of state.
@adriannarobeson4758 so it's legal if bought out of state. Not here in CA unfortunately they are illegal period out of state or not. Unless your law enforcement.
Thanks for reply have a good night
Pennsylvania will always open its doors to you! lol. The 15 round magazines are game changers for sure.
Live in Pennsylvania. My G3 came with a 17 round mag 😂
P365x macro non comped. Has served me well and surprisingly flat. 6,500 rounds no malfunctions all factory ammo 115g,124g, and some Hornady hollow points. I like the capacity and I like the feel in my hand. I carry it everywhere.
Thats going to be my next one...whats your thoughts about comp vs regular?
Been carrying a Glock 43x m.o.s.
Great gun . Not to big , not to small.
I got mines otw I gotta wait 14 days before I can get it in my hand I’ve seen a lot of good reviews about it hopefully I like it
@@moprada514train w it enough u will like it. Mine grew on me and now i throughly enjoy it!
what my girl tell me
@@moprada514 I love my state. Ran my background, swiped my card, gun in my hand. Maybe an hour or less it took.
@@domoonogotno71 Same in and out with a new 43x in around 10 minutes, so nice! My mom was surprised because she is in Washington where they have to hold it for like 10 days I was shocked to hear about that practice 😅
I've been carrying my 43x with dot and 7sub light with an eclipse holster in appendix. Can't even feel it there. Love it, carry it every day. More importantly I can shoot it really well.
I carry two 43xs daily. One stock. Ones my shield arms setup. Both can be tucked/ hidden well in most clothes i wear. Once you tune it to your preference, it’s one of the best guns to carry PERIOD
How you carry them?
@@JoseAv-tx4yla holster
@@doubledoublecapncrunch8306 I mean, where
in the waistband... ? appendix, 3 o'clock, 9 o'clock, owb, off body... it's all up to you 🫵🏼👌🏼
How do you mean “tune it” i have one just not sure what you mean
I carry a Sig P226. I know it’s a big heavy gun, but I shoot it way better then the little P365 I used to carry.
And as Clint Smith of Thunder Ranch says, “For carrying, no gun is too small. For fighting, no gun is too big.”
Same. Used to carry a Glock 26 but changed to a 1911 double stack. I can actually hit targets now 😂
I carry a Baretta 92, so I'm right there with you with the "big heavy guns"
Same, Beretta m9, 18+1, heavy, little recoil, accurate, DA/SA, and a safety no one would figure out immediately in the ghetto if tried to be used against me.
Hell yeah! I rotate my EDC between my Glock 17Gen4 and my beretta M9A3 G model.
Not by choice but I carry an H&K VP70z. I'm 5"7 slim build and no one can see it's on me. it also makes a great conversation piece. It is time for an upgrade though
The Glock 43X is the Goldilocks gun. Not too big, not too small. In fact, I'd say it's "just right." 😅👍
Glock 26gen3 with a flush mag..with a g19 backup mag equipped with an xgrip loaded up with federal premium hst 124g
whats that weight 2lbs?
I used to carry a Glock 23 but switched to a Springfield Hellcat when they came out. I love that thing so much.
How are you liking the hell cat?
@@prestonholt7819 I love it. It took a little bit to get used to because it’s pretty snappy compared to a Glock. It’s been super reliable though.
I want a hellcat pro but it’s 200 more than the 43x
@@micah7405 The Pro looks cool but it doesn’t seem to be worth the extra 200 dollars. I think it’s just a Hellcat that’s the same size as a Glock 19. More magazine capacity, longer slide/barrel etc
How did you like the G23? Is the .40 cal more snappier than a 9mm?
Not an overpriced tulster. I bought an amberide off amazon for $22 and its identical to the tulster. Still strong going on 5 years with no issues
@@6point5grendel no theyre not made in china. Made in us also.
I'm the proud owner of a 43x and 19 gen 5...both are THE best ccw guns...in my opinion.
If I'm going to be uncomfortable in my sunny Florida shorts, tank top and sandals I might as well pack my Glock 19 or Glock 26 with a Glock 19 magazine.
New to conceal carry (i live in New York City it’s a hassle obtaining a license) i picked this gun as it was the cheapest of the ones displayed … i really wanted an fn 5.7 but that price tag is wild …
Glock 19 gen 3 viridian red dot Speer golds 124g hollows
Similar here gen 5 19 with federal hst 135g, ameriglo idot suppressor height night sights, overwatch precision dat trigger and a holosun 507c red dot
I've carried the Sig P365XL for 6 years and happy with it so far after putting 1000s of rounds through it. Never had any problems, but I keep it clean and lubed, which makes a difference vs neglected filthy carry guns.
I absolutely love my Glock 43X! It originally came with 2 single stack magazines but now have 4 15 round magazines!😊🇺🇸💯
I have the 43x it’s pretty awesome
I love stock Glock triggers… they’re one of the best out there and I’m not even being facetious. Anyone who’s trained with their Glock knows that past the 500 round mark, that trigger just gets lighter, crisper, and sweeter. It’s like it rewards you for training with it. But seriously though a worn in Glock trigger is a serious contender. If you know, you know.
I like the crisp pull of the factory trigger. Like you said, break it in and it only gets sweeter.
Glock stock triggers are garbage imo. Must not have ever fired a good handgun.
I was pretty underwhelmed by my 43x trigger until very recently. It was very heavy and the trigger shoe safety thing pressed into my finger in a weird way. But it's gotten so good after lots of dry firing and range time that I prefer it to my single action m9. For a striker fire trigger it's really nice after it breaks in.
I've sent a few thousand rounds through my Glock. The trigger does get a bit better once it's broken in, but it doesn't come close to my Canik out the box.
@@andrewlightbody4221Glock gen 5 trigger is good, obviously doesn’t feel like a sig or s&w or any other brand cause every gun brand have their own feeling when it comes to the trigger.
I wanted to like the 43x but I don’t like the slim line. So I ended up with the g26 gen 5. I added ameriglo cap night sights and slr plus 5 mag extension and custom stippled frame. I also added a Glock performance trigger and changed the trigger shoe out to an aluminum flat face trigger shoe I carry this gun everyday and shoot it every weekend I love it.
I carry a M&P Shield Plus. Definitely a superior firearm imo. It's slightly smaller, more shootable with a better trigger, costs about $100 to $150 less, and looks better asthetically.
43x as well
I carry a 43x with Holosun 507K and the SA 15s. Very comfortable and discrete.
I carry a glock 48. Basically the same gun just with a longer slide. I just prefer the longer slide. It has the same grip so theoretically it’s just as concealable.
Great gun, but eventually sold it. Had a hard time concealing it with that long grip. Ended up with the Shield Plus. Other than the long grip, it's an awesome gun.
Just bought the 43x. I'm going tomorrow to try it out. Had the p365 380 1st, but even though i have small hands, it's just too small for me. Still keeping, though
Just got one loving the all black
i carry a 43X with Holosun 507K X2 series green dot, Streamlight TLR7 sub light, PMM comp and barrel, jonny glocks full vex trigger system, XS R3D night sights, shield arms flared magwell and their 15 round mags with premium metal mag release, Vickers slide catch, full tungsten guide rod from glockstore and i use Winchester Defender 9mm +P 124 grain ammo.
Damn all that on a carry gun? 👀
@@straplyfedjit's honestly not that much if I'm being honest but that is pretty built out I might switch to tungsten guide rod for my 19 just want something that's not that plastic tbh
@@TRIPPYYYHITZZ got ya 👍🏾
The Glock 43X is my EDC. It's great and easily concealable.
G19 gen 5 I have larger hands so it fits super well and 15+1 perfect fit for me been looking at the 43x to carry with shorts the 19 and shorts don’t mix well lol
I carry a 4 inch barrel, all stainless steel s&w model 69 chambered in .17 steal bb CO2 powered revolver. Ammo is cheap and I don't need a licence. And it break glass bottles and pole holes in soda cans.
I think it’s a great pistol. I would like to see Glock make 12&15 rd mags. Just the 43X more mag capacity in a box. No case with cleaning supplies. I don’t want to buy some other companies mags. Great video
G22 but not daily just because where i live im not legal yet but i still have to protect my self
I carry a 26 but I’m a smaller frame guy. Probably going to the 43X
Glock 43XMOS, holosun 507k green, johnny glock 4311, true precision threaded barrel.
Glock 43x. Love it .
Shield Plus all day, everyday!
43x with a Brownell's optic cut slide, a 507k, and S15s. If I'm in the mood for something hammer fired it's a CZ P01 Omega. That is going to be taking a trip to Cajun soon for an optic cut amd their pro package.
Glock 43 Compact. 9mm Daily open and concealed carry VA!!
Recently got a 43x, I love it!! It’s the perfect size recoil is a bit snappy but with practice you won’t even notice
how many bullets do the regular clip hold
I have a 43x with a 10+2 mag. (Live in NY)
Smith and wesson shield plus performance edition ported barrel here
Viper tact 1911
I thought my canik mc9 was my favorite carry pistol but the 43x is my new favorite. I have carried a few different pistols over the last few years. The 43x is the most comfortable to carry and still have a decent amount of rounds even with the factory mags 10 plus 1 is decent for small gun. The mc9 is a better shooter in my opinion the glock is nicer to carry but I’m used to shooting small pistols so I don’t think the glock is uncomfortable to shoot but the added weight and better trigger of the canik makes it nicer to shoot. And if I really don’t feel like having a pistol in my belt or I don’t want to print at all I’ll carry a glock 42 as like a pocket pistol.
Right now money ain’t the best so I carry a G3C and I love that baby
I carry a 43x daily nice small yet not small pistol conceals pretty nicely
I use a 43x or hellcat or Glock 23 or sig sauer p320
Glock 26 it's just .20 larger in certain dimensions but the minimum 10 round capacity double stack mag instead of g43 single stack 6 round capacity makes the g26 better in every way. The G26 can use your standard 17rd glock mags. Thas not an option with the g43x
I have a Glock 43x they are all 10 round single stack mags.. you can also get a 15 round flesh fit mag or you can also get a 20 round mag to even a 100 round drum for the 43x
If you wear a loose sweater you could conceal a fs92. Try with a t-shirt
Glock 26 gen 5 is my conceal carry.I love it.
P365x and smith plus 9
I love my Canik Tp9sc elite/glock 45 mos
43 X Good size and gauge, but rigid trigger, that carry on a disperse group in target.
I carry the 43x and Springfield hellcat pro
Thinking about getting the Hellcat Pro Comp. Would you prefer it over the 43x?
I ended up putting an apex enhanced polymer trigger in my 43x. So far im over 1300 rounds testing it. Not a single issue and a way better trigger for this little gun.
I got one.. bought a custom one from black phoenix in Connecticut.. no complaints.
Just got mine about a month ago and I’m loving it. Perfect for the everyday carry and great to practice with!
Hellacious hellcat apex everything McCarbo striker talon grips black carbon fiber tulster holster with sidekick..🔥
The 43x and hellcat like both
Been carrying the hellcat, and I love it!!
My preferred carry are 1911s but that's me
2 world wars btw
G43x with a shield red dot true threaded barrel 💯
I carried the Glock 17 gen 3 for years, the 43 isn't bad by any means but I would go with a 17 or 19 gen 3 or gen 5 if I were going to buy a 9mm glock.. I prefer the weight of the 17 for the way it draws, and I have large hands so the 43 is a little thin in the grip for my liking.. but go to your local gun shop and hold a variety of guns, get a feel for them and see what works best for you
I carry a Glock 21sf with a surefire light
My edc is a Glock 42 with upgrades. Polished internals, ameriglo night sights, vickers tactical base plate, talon rubber grips, and double undercut. I have to carry on the lighter side weight wise due to on going spine issues.
Been carrying a Glock 17 for a year now and I’m definitely wanting something smaller to carry. My friend as a 43x and honestly I fell in love with it the moment I held it.
I carry a Taurus G3. Guns are so expensive in my country due to taxes. Paid 900 USD for my Taurus. And $1.25 each round of bullets
Taurus G2C was my very first firearm. It was a great pistol. While $900 is a lot of money, trust and believe that you have a good quality firearm.
Glock 19 , 17 round mag whit x grip
Springfield hellcat pro
Best carry gun , you get reliability, accuracy and a small footprint. Pair it with the Sheild arms mag, no need for a Glock 19
Hellcat Pro 17 round mag...Viridian green dot...tulster holster
I have the original Hellcat I love that thing. Haven’t had a chance to try the Pro yet. They look awesome.
I have one and I really liked it until I got my hands on a Macro. Bought a Macro and haven’t carried my 43x since.
I don’t go out much but when I do it’s the 43x or 686+ smith and Wesson
I have a Glock 19, s&w shield and an sig p229 elite. I love them all but the shield is by far the most comfortable.
I carry a 43X and I love it.
My everyday carry is a Glock 19 Gen 5. I have really big hands so it definitely fits me perfectly.
Been Carrying Mine for 3years now. And i loved it!
Went all out on a Gucci glock gen 3 19 for my everyday carry just to realise at the range that it jams after 200 rounds. Im a firm believer now that your everyday carry should be OEM Whether its Glock, Sig, S & W, Beretta, Springfield CZ etc. Keep your Gucci guns for the range.
Glock 43X is a great gun. Death grip it for good control. Get a good holster, upgrade sights & add a light. You're good to go.
I carry a Canik TP9 Elite SC. Pretty comfortable and pretty good size as well for the capacity.
43X and a Canik sc elite
Glock 19M and a gen5 26 for backup
Get 2 shield arms 15 round mags, a TLR7 sub and a Holosun EPS Carry.....PERFECT SET UP

Guys, I am a noob with handguns and I recently just started my family. I want to be prepared to protect them and am seeking any type of advice of where to start my gun education. Anything you guys learned after your time with weapons that could be helpful for a novice starting his gun education? Appreciate it !
I rock a US Grunt Gear holster that Sootch recommended me probably over a decade ago now. Highly recommend them if you want a good holster. Tulsters are good too
compact PSA dagger
G19, Sig P365xl, and a HK VP9sk
CZ P-10 M of course ;-)
the Glock 43x is my edc
My wife carries 43X. And I know 3 people in my local area, who are handgun. Training individuals and gun shop owners who also carry the 43X. A couple of them are pretty big dudes
I carry a Smith & Wesson Shield Plus daily. I like it, but yes a gun that small needs to be practiced with. Sometimes carry a 357 Magnum revolver when open carrying.
i conceal a glock 42 with a +2 pinky extension, by far the best i ever carried
I carry RED ZASTAVA M70 7.65 mm
Great content, humbled to be back!
