Glock recently released their new Glock 48 and Glock 43x which have the most note worthy change of increased magazine capacity. While I do think these are great additions to the Glock line up, I'm reluctant to fall in love. I have collected a good amount of G43 magazines and installed magazine extensions to increase my magazine capacity. Because the cost of these sub-compact magazines is already so high, I would hate to have to spend a fortune in stockpiling new magazines for a shiny new G43x or G48. As I'm trying not to jump at the next shiny thing, and remain somewhat of a responsible adult, I thought I'd take a moment to talk about magazine extensions. In this video I show the +2 Vickers base pads made in collaboration with Tango Down and also the +2 and +3 Taran Tactical base pads.

Update: of course, now that theee 15 round Shield Arms mags are available, the Glock 43X and 48 now seem even more awesome!!!!
Yeah the #ShieldArms 15 rounds mags make the G43 obsolete and with there extension you get 20 I don’t even carry my G43 anymore
@@JohnSmith-bd2re the standard 43 is a tad small for my 6'4" self anyway....
@@JohnSmith-bd2re I don't understand. So what gun did you replace the G43 with? Is the gun of similar dimensions. The G43 is pretty small.
@@SI0AX 43x with shield arms mags gives you 15+1, its basically a 43, but you can get your whole hand on it without extensions, and extra rounds.
@@TruckManThings Oh, but that gun is a lot wider and larger in dimensions. Can you conceal it well vs the 43?

The 43 is an awesome EDC. I carry that with the Vickers +2 extension. I like it but you can certainly feel the difference going from just a pinky extension to the +2 extension.
You should have told him to clean the leaves out of the gutter before he got down off the roof.

Truly one of my absolute favorite UA-cam channels, John is so good at breaking things down in a way that is much easier for the average guy or gal to understand. There are those of us who are into the gun, self defense, shooting sports world, or are LEO's and/or military and understand tactical/firearm jargon. However there is many who don't and imo get put off by not knowing what the hell is being talked about and that's not good for a number of reasons and that is why I highly recommend his channel and I myself love to watch the vlogs because it's so much more relaxed & not overbearing and it's really awesome to see a guy who knows his shit inside and out share the wisdom he gained from extensive sof training and being deployed multiple times to the "Middle East". Aside from all the gun stuff John is a incredible person and he teaches other things sometimes pretty much by mistake but are just as much if not more valuable than the gun stuff, things like being a good man, morals, respect, keeping your word, being a good father, husband, and neighbor, Civic duty and basically just don't be a dick!! I admire John for many reasons but most of all it's because of how humble he is and his drive to help others!! Bravo buddy you success is well deserved!!
That intro was the best ever! I laughed so hard. Thank you for all the hard work you put into your videos. It means a lot to all your warrior poet followers that you are willing to spend your time to help us out and help us to learn from your experience. YAY for that and YAY for YOU!
I have a difficult time liking single stacks of any kind.
For me the G19 fits the bill perfectly.
@@freeze1617 we know
The only single stack I rock is a 1911. Although all my other pistol platforms are 9mm, if I’m going to only carry a single stack it’s going to be a .45acp.
Tactical Toolbox agreed
I’ve lived 40 years on this planet and needed exactly 0 rounds to defend my life with.
I have 7 rounds of Hornady Critical Defense on my right hip with 6 more rounds in a spare mag staged in my left front pocket.
The 43 versus the 19 in terms of wearable conceal-ability is not even a contest. I forget the 43 is there and with the 19 I wish I was carrying my 43.
@Semper Fi Spot on!
Lol man you’ve got the BEST sponsor advertisements ever. Nobody will ever come close to matching yours. Straight awesome John
For those who find this video in the year 2020. Rejoice Shield Arms has produced a flush fitting 15 round magazine for the 43x as well as a +5 extension!
Night came here hoping that he would have a new video about it.
LMFAO THAT INTRO!!! “At worst you’d roll an ankle” - bahahaha - John you are too funny! Not only am I signing up for a class from you... but IM GOING TO SPORTSMANS GUIDE!
Thanks! Evan will be thrilled!
That's where I lost it too lol.
I am glad I'm the only one in the office today, cuz that made me giggle like a little girl. 😂🤣😂🤣
I feel like some youtubers are trying to hard at a funny intro, and it shows.... this one was genuinely funny.
When the balls of your feet make contact with the ground, immediately go into your fifth point of performance, LAND. You will make a proper PLF by making all five points of contact. touch them, and repeat them after me. BALLS OF THE FEET, CALF, THIGH, BUTTOCKS, and the PULL UP MUSCLE.
The Sportman's Guide intro's are getting better
love your videos!! ive learned something from every one of them that ive watched. also I have been using sportsmans guide for over 10 years, they are my first stop when it comes to ammo guns or tactical gear. and their prices usually beats most everyone else in the industry. Thanks!! keep up the great work!!
1:29 - The inset footage made my day, those dudes know how to party... until someone loses a foot... or a head, *chuckle* good times!
You make channel sponsor plugs fun to watch. Thanks for that. I’m tired of guys telling me what audio book they’ve “enjoyed” this week.
Whatever sportsman guide is giving you to be a channel sponsor, it’s not enough. Well done guys, well done.
I agree completely on the 43 vs the 43x/48. You can’t make the 43x or 48 shorter and with the standard 43 it’s size can be configured to your personal needs.
Keep up the great vids.

True, the Glock 43x/48 would work out well for the states that only allow 10 rounds.
48 maybe...but 43X is not make a sense... In my opinion... I have 43 with 3 magazines - standard (it is too small for my hands), longer one and one with extended mag plate (+2).
Yeah but realistically the 43's capacity isn't comparable to the 43x unless you want to spend tons of money putting a +3 extension on every 43 mag that you have. So it's a little misleading trying to sell the 43 as having only one less round capacity. Go with the 43x if you want to carry with more rounds.
I'm surprised there still aren't guys cutting shield mags and 43x/48 grips down to 10 rounds, and no one is mentioning or asking about shortening them. This would take them into the 365 'two finger grip' size.
I had the G43 with Taran +2 pads, but after shooting the G48 I sold it to a buddy. While I never had a failure with the extended mags, I prefer the factory mags. I understand those who are going for more concealability, but I’m willing to trade that for getting a full grip (that’s just me). Also, I was blown away by how good the G48 fit my hard and how well I shot it.
Bye the way, that intro was hilarious.
I just use the ETS 9rd Mags in my G43 with the X-Grip, it essentially makes the G43 a G43X with the option of going deep concealed with a stock mag. I do plan on getting a G48 Slide to slap n it in the near future.
"It's not doing it now that I show you." I tell my mechanic the same thing, but he still thinks I'm crazy.
great video

If you made a video of nothing but SG ads. I would still watch it. These ads are like bonus feature.
LOL these intros have me rolling. I don't know how your split times rank, but your comedic timing is impeccable.
Audio and camera work is amazing, thanks!
The G 48 I have runs excellent, I still shoot the G 19 better, but there are people in my family who can’t reach the trigger properly on the 19... They find the 48 utterly fantastic.
I couldn’t hit the broadside of a barn with the 43, the 48 you can almost run it like a full-size gun. The 48 Conceals Way better than the 19.
Yeah, I use to say the 19 was for everyone. But for people with very small hands, I'm sure the 48 is easier to reach controls.
I've taken plenty of girls with small hands out shooting my 19, and nobody has ever struggling to reach the trigger.. are you shooting with midgets?
I like the Pearce +1 for concealed carry on the 43.
It gives an extra round in the mag, but doesn't add any length over the factory grip extension.
That shotgun spinning party looks like a good time.
I used to think the Glock 43X and 48 were silly. "What's the point? It's just slightly thinner!"
And now I own a G48. And I love it. That smaller width really helps me conceal it better, since im pretty thinly built
I just got a G26 and I'm very hesitant to get a g43
@@micahmarrietta2059 why is that?
The G43X and G48 now have a 15 round magazine, regular size, available at Shield Arms.
I’ll keep my 43, 26, and 19 for concealed carry depending on my dress and activity. If I didn’t have the 26
and all the accessories, I’d consider the 48.
Thank you, Sir for your time, I really enjoy your videos.
I'd like to see an actual head to head for time and accuracy between the 43x and 19 now that the 15 round shield mags are available.
lol does it matter XD
TFB TV did one, found that its about the same so ling as you can grip it properly. Thinner grip made a difference for one guy
I love the Vickers plus two, because of quality, price and that it comes with a longer spring. Held the G43X yesterday, and it sure does fit in the hand nicely. I’m not going to replace my original G43 any time soon.
Love your introductions!
I just got the 43x and I love it! I’m looking for a holster now.
I found a Bladetech one that I really like fir it.
Shield Arms. com offers a 15 round mag that is same size as stock mag for the 43X.
Thanks for the video.
Great Video Man
“I feel like this changes everything.”
“This doesn’t change anything.”
Haha classic 😂😂
You could also go with a G26 and they will take all the mags you already purchased for your double stack GLOCK’s. I had the G43 and G48 and ended up selling both because I kept going back to my G26. Also, I found that as far as concealment goes, the G48 was not noticeably different than the G19 and likewise for the G43 and the G26. Just some thoughts from someone who has owned and carried these guns.
Something’s been telling me to check out a Glock 26 , I got a shield plus rn with a hogue grip and pinky extension ( stock grip was fine tbh, but I like having more of a full grip feel) but I feel like the 26 got something
Your intros are hilarious 😂 keep up the good work with the intros and of course always these great discussions. Enjoy what you all stand for and represent!
Dude your vids crack me up! Awesome!
I'm in the SAME boat! I've got a ton of mags for my 43 & 19. While the specs on 43x & 48 are both nice, I carry a 19 in the Tier 1 Axis Slim with a spare 17 mag. To accomplish the same # of rounds with the 48 I'd have to carry at least two spare mags (the 12rd).
*One tip many with 43's don't know is the Maggut(com) Z-spring with follower will allow 7rds in the stock 6 mag. 7+1 in that small of form factor still hasn't been beat.
John, you’re like the Mr Rogers of guns except you were really in special forces.
I love your Sportsman's Guide ads! Awesome stuff.
Please make sure that these intros keep coming I love it!
I just bought the G48, my first glock as well, I’m enjoying it and have several times forgotten it was on. Also it was a great intro to 9mm for my nieces.
This exactly why I like the 19/26 combo...I only need a few 26 mags for carry, but I have a ton of 19 mags and they work in both guns
19x mags will work in the 26 then right?
@@calebbroege1333 yes
@random Person i have the 19x and have only had a failure to eject on the very first round i put through the gun. Been good ever since
@random Person its good. I have one for that purpose. Still conceals with extra clothing and you get added capacity. I like having the shorter slide but still the 17 frame personally
@random Person just run the 19 then
LoL... I love that intro.
I'm new and lovelling your vids.
I came to watch because I have decided on a g43 or pps for my edc and wanted to see what you had to say here.
But if someone could compile a list of your best intros and advertisements I would buy it.
John, My wife and I are going to put you into the rotation on movie night. Please keep up the good work
Great video, keep them coming! Just got my Glock 48 w/ factory NS yesterday!
Im not gonna lie i fell in love with my 43x
Me toooo
After watching that intro, I damn near broke my computer I smashed that like button so hard. Thanks John...
P.S. at 5:41...that's definitely what she said
joe Perschke had to rewind it hahahaha. Hilarious
Length not width...
Always great videos John and great commercial.
Thank you, I learned something today. Go Well.
That’s been my thought all along. The grip length is the hardest part to conceal if you have a smaller frame. If you can carry a 43x or 48, just go for the 19.
I love my g19 but my g43x feels so much better to carry all day it’s so lite and small. I have not carried my g19 since I got the g43x mos but that’s me.
I'm skinny, wearing fitted clothes. I prefer a slimline.
Great vid John, and I like all of these extensions. I have a Pearse +1 on my G43 carry mag with the factory spring. It carries great, feels great, and it was cheap. I have run it a LOT with no failures.
I absolutely LOVE the intros, and this one was hysterical.
Hahahahaha I love you guys. I literally started laughing out loud with that roof scene. Hilarious with great content - you guys are my favorite!

"I feel like this changes everything!"
"bro this doesn't change anything."
hahahahahahahah you're the best john.
But it actually did change everything in the long run. 15 rds now AND a pic rail🔥
The weight of the base plate it going to have little effect on an empty magazine. The problem is the palm putting pressure on the base plate of a firearm with a short grip. Unlike the 43x.
Great timing for this vid
Looking at picking up a 43 tomorrow
Thank you sir!
Just my thoughts any pistol where the bottom of grip is not below the palm of your strong hand will cause some issue with the reload. This is why I will change to the 43x at some point.
I'm gonna head over to Sportsman's Guide right now!
I'm going thru your channel, video after video, this entire intro was hilarious
The sportsman guide commercial in the beginning is so funny! I love you guys, God Bless.
8:55 - My High School PhysEd teacher had a similar closing comment after an awkward co-ed video...
I just bought the regular 43 as opposed to the 43X or 48. The way I see it is I can get the 43 real close to ten rounds and a longer grip with magazine extensions. However, I cannot make the 43x or 48 smaller and more concealable.
But 15 rounds will never be an option for the 43. . .
@@chekkerachou True, but that's what I have a 2.0 compact for.

@@WarriorPoetSociety what is that red ring on your mags? Paint? Something else?
Soon to be a felony 10 + in Illinois. Basically if you have a Glock 19 you just can't put a 10 rounder in it. If it will take a 15 rd magazine-registration and $25.00 fee. SB 107 is going to cause a lot of problems. Illinois is also trying to pass an access to your social media accounts before they will issue an FOID card. Everything is starting to suck in this state!
Bad news man
I live in Illinois and it sucks
That's why I don't cross the river anymore. I used to have to for work occasionally but not anymore so I steer clear. We used to apple pick and stuff over there as well...used to.

@Ghost Technically Illinois is still free as of now... There arent any assault weapons bans there yet...
I'm glad to see someone else has my sense of humor. Keep sending love down range.
The opening intro/add!!! 🤣😂😅😆 I’m dying!
I'm here really late. I completely agree on the g43. Love the +3 Taran tach extentions, however the 6rd with the pinky extention is just right for my hand size.
43x is the younger cousin to the 19 and 26..sure it may not be exactly compatible.and maybe you dont understand it. But as time passes the 43x will adapt, grow and eventually prove why it's part of the family. Love mine!
Well. This comment came true.
John you were sounding like Alan off hangover lol awesome intro!

1:45 to 2:08 answers the borderline click-bait video title. i thought this video might be about the glock 48 and 43x.... its not
Have you tried any of the ETS G43 offerings? They have a 9rd and a 12rd mag available. Got one of each, haven't run anything through them yet though.
That's the greatest intro I've watched in a while. Actually went to the Sportsman Guide as well...
" The width doesn't matter as much as the length does." LMAO 🤣
I honestly just watch your videos for the Sportsmans Guide plugs...
Yup, kinda like the super bowl.
For what its worth ( and may show my age), we use to epoxy a lead fishing weight in the base pad of Chip McCormick base pads for USPSA. It would give a fast drop and keep the mag a little more protected since the pad was more likely to hit the ground first. You may have to give up a round of capacity but it could make the lesser cost pad work well.
That wedding shooting demo was amazing by the way.
I wasn’t going to look at sportsmansguide today if I hadn’t stumbled onto this video. This changed everything!
UA-cam hid this from my subscription feed. I only came across it on my home feed. Ridiculous. Great video tho
Just upgrade to the true "Baby" Glock & get you a G26 where you can use ALL of your other Glock Double stack mags. I call that one a smarter buy!
Wise man.
That's what I think as well
I never understood why anybody would prefer the 43 over the 26. it isn‘t really that smaller.
Ty J i’m right there with you.
And if you want the extra length.. get a mag extension or use a longer mag. Totally agree with this post. With john for sure on the concealment. The OAH is the biggest issue. Glock 26 got that covered with the ability to carry a g19, or any other longer mag, as a backup.
I’m running NDT +2 with the extended spring on my 43. Made from aluminum, fit well and have been flawless.
Intro is awesome, cracks me up!!
If width doesn't matter then what's your take on G26 vs G43?
Werin Ogaitnas asking the real questions here
My ole lady loves the 43 because it fits her hand better and her clothes are smaller... overall I don't find the difference in width of the guns to make enough difference to where I don't want to carry my 26 in favor of any of the single stacks
I love my G29. Similar to the 26. I prefer the extra width, but I am 6'2", 240#...
My little opinion even though you didn’t ask ME... I asked for the G43 and got the G26 instead. I have ended up really liking it and so often try to carry it instead of my G42, but it is significantly bigger. I would still like to get the G43 to have a 9mm that I can conceal in other places besides appendix. (I’m a kinda-skinny girl - takes some effort to hide the G26...) The width is a significantly big deal for me... also to consider is the very different grips between these 2!
@@Rosie_C My wife carries a G26. She sold her 43 because she couldn't get over the capacity difference... I carry a G19 but might go for the G26 for summer carry.
I feel like this changes everything! This doesn't change anything...lmao
Great video"
My thoughts were the same.
I went 1 round extension. To carry, and a 2 round extension back up ,
I did not want to defeat the purpose of it's size.
That's what kinda sold me any way...
Hi John! Love your videos!
Wanted to ask if you'd considered the impact of the 48 specifically on the market for those with small hands. I don't have small hands, but I have friends with small hands. In the past, the most comfortable (9mm) guns they've been able to shoot well have been the size of the S&W Shield and the Glock 43. There were also the Sig 938, or maybe the Kimber Solo, Evo, or Micro 9. Then the Sig 365 came out, and that went a long way towards capacity improvements, but they all still have at least one issue: Easy to hide means harder to shoot well (if only slightly). Shorter barrel length means less muzzle velocity and less steady bullets, but more important to me is the shot sight radius. Now the 48 has come out, and for my money, it's addressed every single problem small-handed people have. It has 10-round magazines, it's nice and slim, and it has a good long barrel and sight radius. As a bonus, it is entirely feasible to put the barrel and slide of a 48 on the frame of a 43, effectively enabling you to tailor your capacity and grip length for concealment or magazine considerations. Performance Center has also come out with extended barrels and slides for the Shield, and I'm excited about that too. Anyway, just thought you might enjoy such considerations. Keep up the awesome work and thanks again!
John, I’ve got to say.... you KILLED the intro!!! Absolutely hilarious! Keep it up.
I have a Pierce grip on mine it gives the finger groove plus one.
Have the same on 4 extra mags . You get +1 and a finger grove and they are cost effective!
Mr. Lovell, is your opinion still the same knowing you can get a 15rd mag for the 43x now? I currently carry my 19MOS and am looking at the 43x as my “dress up” gun and 15+1 in that package sounds good to me.
John on the tier 1 holster do you like the low med or high sweat shield? I’m 6’3 255 and a bit fluffy. 180 is a lot to spend for me on a holster and want to get it right the first time for my sw shield 9
