Several years ago, I wrote an ebook title, "If I Could Carry Only One Gun"
In the ebook, I talked about a particular Glock.
I'm currently working on an updated version of that ebook.
However, I get asked a lot: What is my favorite concealed carry Glock?
In this case, it would be the Glock 43x MOS.
Here is why!

You’re one of the few people I can watch/listen to. No verbosity, good speaking speed, best “real” information. Thank you, sir.
Facts, he’s one of the realest and it’s no fluff. Very knowledgeable, no nonsense but can still make his videos fun and educational. Rare to come across people like him in this industry honestly!
I own the 17 and 19. I purchased the 43x and there is no turning back. Daily carry and firing range is insane. By far my favorite of any I’ve owned.
I was a S&W Shield advocate for years, but the second I held my buddies 43x, I was instantly converted. I'm not a Glock fan, don't generally like their grip angle etc, but something about the 43x is perfect. Turned 4 of my friends on to it, we all love it.
Similar experience & sentiments. 43x was my first glock
@@DeRussellMasina They nailed it from an engineering sense. It's a great gun.
i tried a p226 in a 43x printed frame and it fit just saying did not have anything but the frame and mag
good to know , I'm quarreling over shield or 43x, thanks for sharing your experience
@@nicolesears3466 they're honestly both great guns, but the Glock 43X just "feels" better to me for some reason. But I would understand why someone would like either one
I was looking for a smaller Carry gun the other day. I tried the hellcat and the P365. When I tried the 43X I knew I had found the one. I love everything about it and its now probably my favorite gun I own
I've carried a Springfield weapon for probably 15 years now. Xds, to hellcat, to hellcat pro.. I just divorced my hellcat and purchased my very first Glock in all of my 31 years 2 days ago because I fell in love with the way it felt in the hands. It was the 43x MOS! No I've always hated the feel of Glocks in the hand, but this one is just a total different conversation!
The canik mete mc9 is great to
I tried the same 3 guns and made the same choice as u
Love my 43X. Surprisingly accurate for a conceal carry pistol.
This is my first time watching your videos and I can honestly say I’m impressed with it all. From the transitions to the knowledge you bring to the table. HIGHLY impressed. Thanks for what you do 🤌🏼
Just got my new EDC and am super happy with it and thank you Colion for all your advice and info on this Glock made my choice very helpful
Got my 43x MOS from my cop daughter for fathers day and it automatically became my favorite concealed carry. I love it.
Just bought my 43x yesterday. Glad to see you are a fan
you know i've been thinking I want a G19 but now considering a 43x set up like yours! Great video and I really liked the shield magazines that gives this G43x a little bit more to work with while on the range. That 43x mos is just sweetness!
Thank you for your videos I bought a 43x based on some of your old videos about it and it's nice to see this new one and you're still supporting it, thank you Colin❤❤❤
Just turned 21 and bought this as my first gun. Can’t wait for it to get delivered to the gun shop.
I love the 43x. I don't think it got as much praise and attention as it could have when it was first released. A lot of people are finally coming around to appreciating what it does for its price, frame size, feature set, and mag capacity. And it filled a gap in the market, which was a 10+1 out of the box at that frame size. I think the Shield was the closest at the time, and I really just didn't like the earlier version of the Shield.
If you get the S15 mag, remember that the metal mag release is NOT OPTIONAL. If you keep using the plastic one, it will get sheared off by the metal magazine over time, and your magazine will self-eject every time you fire a round. Ask me know I know!
I had shield arms mags laying around for months after getting a G48 but didnt start even using them until I switched out the mag release to the metal one. Only reason why I waited so long was because I have 10 of the 10 round glock mags and only 4 shield arms mags but obviously if I really needed to I can still use the Glock mags with the metal mag release
I just stick with the factory mags
@@chipkipperly3904 I stick with factory mags too and trust my life to them. I had s15 mags and they weren't all that reliable... I need 100% reliability, not reliable 95% of the time.
HOW I know
@@chipkipperly3904 I have found that the factory magazines are the most reliable.
I’ve ordered 2 G43X MOS with all the accessories for my wife and I. Amazing video and truly on point with your experience and commentary. Good work brother and keep ‘em coming.
My older brother recommended me to watch you especially because I was thinking about getting the 43x MOS and I am definitely gonna start watching your videos! ❤
Colion, I must agree with you, because both my son and I carry the Glock 43x as our EDC. The gun is very reliable and fits like a glove!
Just bought my first Glock - and I went with the 43X. Super excited!! Thanks for all you do, Colion!
Congrats on that I purchase. I got one too almost 2 years ago. I love mines.
Honestly, the G43x is the sweet spot that I have always been seeking. The LxWxH are spot-on for CCW; the weight is not even an issue and the magazines from Shield Arms complete the package. Then, you can opt for the MOS model to add a red dot, suppressor sights, and add a magazine well to boot. I am happy because now I can finally retire my G19 as it was a beast to carry.
I absolutely love all the same things about this glock as you do and i tried quite a few micro compact guns and this glock instantly won me over. I primarily buy guns for target shooting and even though this isn't a target gun i still bought it. It feels perfect in my hand also.
I own both a 43x and 26 and I find myself carrying the 43x 90% of the time for several reasons. I find it way more comfortable in appendix bc of thickness differences. I also am more accurate with it in practice than the 26 but not by much. That being said using a 33 round mag with 26 at the range is fun. If I could only have one it would definitely be the 43x with shield arms package.
Stick mag and g26 Doubles as a hammer should you run through all 33 rounds ;)
33rd mag?!
What brand
@@dylandelarosa9856 Its actually made by Glock
I have one of those mags too, they are pretty unwieldy though. I also prefer the 43x or 48 daily because I like the single stack thinness but if I'm going somewhere a little more edgy, like into downtown LA, I'll carry the 26 with a 19 mag inserted and a spare 17 mag.
Love the glock 43x. Great all around gun. Love how you mod it. Great video can't wait for the next one.
Fabulous video and review Mr Noir. That’s my next Glock to compliment my Gen5 19. Thank you for your voice on the 2A importance.
I'm looking to buy my first CCW and your videos have been incredibly helpful. Thanks!
Perfect timing, finally found a 43x MOS last week!! Can’t wait to throw some money at it!! Planning on doing holosun’s new direct mount optic
Great video and further proves my confidence in getting this gun. That’s the next glock I’m going to get is that one but just the 43x only because I’m a Newbie to pistols and I want to learn fully on iron sights but I have had 4 years experience in firearms (Rifles/USMC). It’s the first glock I ever touch was that one but my first glock that I owned is Glock 17 gen 5 and I love it. I don’t wanna be a glock guy but I’m starting to really like glocks a lot. That’s not to say I only want glocks but I wanna try a lot more guns! Once again great video!
One thing I really love about gun videos is that the comments are never turned off. People that cherish freedom of speech also hold guns with high standards
Excellent presentation! I was planning on getting the 43, but thanks to your video, I will go for the 43x.
I was looking to purchase the Sig P365 XL, rented both the 365 XL and Glock 43X. Totally changed my mind after shooting 100 rounds. The 43X is lighter, I personally think it has a nicer feel to the grip, not so ruff. Both shot well. Glock all day now.
Nicely done. I love your “to the point” conversational style videos. I knew about the original G43 but hadn’t seen a review of the 43X which seems to be a huge improvement. But red dot on a small concealed carry? Never considered that. Is there any real benefit to having a 43X MOS if the installed front/rear sights are already good? I know very little about having what appears to be a bulky sight placed on compact/subcompact pistols.
So good to see you at 2 million subscribers! Your content and editing earned it!
The 43x mos is sota like the "competition" verson concealed carry gun. Its not gone be useful in your pocket but it will help a ton when you get to actually shoot.
Great review, it’s my favorite CCW Glock as well for all the same reasons. Mine is set up very similar to yours and goes with me almost everywhere.
I have the Glock 43x and I love it! It’s easy to conceal and it’s small but perfect for my small hands! Best gun! It’s my everyday carry choice!
Do you use hearing protection?

I do love the single stack!
Shield arms mags make it a double stack w the slam line frame package ;)
Excellent video! And thanks for the tip on the RCS holster!
Great video. I've owned and carried a 26 for years now. Love it. But, the 43X has always appealed to me. I'm going to seriously have to check one out now. Thanks
I think you just sold me a pistol.
I carried a P365 since 2018 but sold it a few months ago. No problems with it. I was recently carrying a G26 which is one of my favorite sized Glocks until just bought this pistol and added a micro red dot to it and fell in love with it. My local store had shield arms magazines and the metal mag catch available. My 43x is extremely accurate and reliable with the shield arms magazines running in them.
Big fan. Appreciate all the info and insight on all the topics you cover!
Got a 43X MOS for Christmas.... Purchased the PSA 15 round mags so that I didn't have to change the Mag Release. Great video with awesome information.... Keep it up.
How do you like those mags?
I appreciate the thought put into your reviews and how enlightening they are. Much appreciated.
When I went shopping for a Concealed Carry (CC) firearm, I looked at several to get a feel for the grip, trigger break and other features as my hands are not large but they are thick and meaty. Do your research and compile a list of quality firearms before you go shopping. My list consisted of 17 to choose from and even though the store that I went to did not have every one of them on my list, I still had a wide variety to look at.
Don't buy a SIG, Glock, Walther or Hellcat because John or Jane said so. _Find one that fits you as you will be the primary user of your next firearm._ After you have narrowed down your search from your list to just a few, only then can you choose by price, if that's what you wish, as you know that you will also have a quality firearm that fits your hands.
Great advice for anyone who is thinking about purchasing a firearm. What works for one person may not work for someone else. There are many choices out there. Spend the money to try out rental guns when you can. Try before you buy 👍🏽
I CCW Springfield xds
What do you think about a ruger 380 LCP?
@@mikeprice8307
I've never tried one. But I did own a Grendel P10 many years ago.
About one of the most best break down videos I’ve have yet seen thus far. I absolutely love my 43x that I bought my significant other but want something less flashy in color but the same and can add mods and now I have been sold! Keep what your doing man I will be watching more of your videos
Good stuff . . The more I watch your stuff the more I like it . Keep up the good work . Thank you .
I have a p10s optics ready but this was in the running for my ccw. I will say the longer grip was nice, but adding a +3 fixed any grip issue the p10s had. Stock trigger is amazing
I love my p10s but I have an issue with the weight to firepower/ballistics compared to a Glock 19. It’s heavier. It’s way heavier than the 43x. Actually a Glock 17 is an ounce heavier than the P10s.
You can tell I’m thinking of a switch. Love that trigger guard and the trigger, but there is a real appearance of all out practicality with the Glocks that many other manufactures can’t quite reach. I had been resistant to the idea until recently.
@@fakefriendocrat9324 It's not that heavy lol. I swap between a P-07, G45, P10S, and Arex Delta Gen 2 throughout the month and I don't even think about the weights on any of them. Then again I carry a 40 pound backpack around for work all day so a few ounces won't be super apparent.
I have not been a Glock fan but this EDC setup here I am liking. Definitely, I am going to take look into this Glock 43 MOS with your setup. Thanks for sharing as always @colionnoir
Look in the G48 MOS I was torn between the G43 or G48 I ended up getting the G48 I wondering if I made the right decision after I bought it and now I know I did I fell in love with it
I love my 43x mos I just need to find the right optic to place on it. Definitely worth the purchase
The 48 definitely shoots better than the 43x. I tested both before I bought my EDC 48 MOS.
Great review and very well presented getting straight to the point
I just watched this yesterday and purchased it today followed by range time. Thanks for the suggestion🤙
I’m a bigger guy and the 43x just felt a little weird in my hand so I went with the Glock 19 gen 5 and I can conceal carry it without any issue. If my hands were a little smaller the 43x would’ve been my first pick. Such a great gun and I would recommend the 43x to anyone looking to conceal carry. It might not be the perfect fit for me but it would be perfect for most people I know.
I currently have the Glock 19 Gen 5. It was my first pistol and I’ve had it for home defense. I’ve only put about three hundred rounds but am now realizing that my hands would benefit from a slightly smaller pistol. Hoping to trade in for the 43x
I’m about 5’9” 160 pounds and I conceal a g23 (same frame as 19) daily with ease
@@thugnasty5242 don’t trade your G19, keep it, save up for the G43X. Two guns are always better than one. I carry a G17 on duty for over 18 years, and I have a G27 and a G43. My next addition will be a G19 3rd Gen. Was also thinking about that G19X.
@@sgteduardo2146 You read my mind! I decided not to trade in. I’m hoping to add the G43 eventually. With a new gun measure that just passed in Oregon however it may be difficult to purchase when I’m ready to
Dang you must be HUGEEEE!
This was a most excellent review of my favorite daily carry. I started with a standard 43x, added Ameriglo UC sights, and have had no problems and a great carry piece. I added a 43x MOS a while back. Still looking at red dot features and a set of better iron sights. I also have no problems with the trigger, as I’ve been familiar with Glock trigger characteristics for. 34 years. I may consider swapping the trigger shoe for something flat faced, however, cause the stock ribbed faces on these are almost akin to pressing your index finger pad against a dull axe. That’s my on,y complaint.
I am so thankful to finally hear somebody describe how uncomfortable the trigger is on the 43x. It's my first Glock and I thought maybe the cheese grater trigger was just something normal for Glocks and I just needed to get used to it. Other than the trigger bite, this is an awesome EDC. Also, Shield Arms mags and accessories make the 43x a no-brainer if you're comparing EDCHs.
@@ElFrigginChupacabra I took to replacing the trigger bars on Glocks with serrated triggers, ie 19, 23,26,27s with 17 trigger bars to correct that deficiency and keep everything factory, but no such option for these slim frame guns. I’ll probably have to play with aftermarket trigger shoes but they’re pricey.
I felt that way about the trigger as well, but a minimal amount of filing with a nail file minimized the discomfort for me.
I don't know how I missed this vid but I've been carrying 43x for years and I was waiting for you to come around from your last vid. Lol. Keep up the FIGHT! 2A !!
JUST bought one. Love the channel. My first CCW, in large part cuz of this channel.
If y’all want a more grippy feel , I put the talon grips pro on mine and not only does it look cool it’s the perfect amount of grip.
@han0509 yeah but if you appendix carry that would be too abrasive for me . It’s hard to explain the pro grip is grippy yet also soft somehow perfect for cc.
@han0509 tbh I think that is one of the coolest part the specks of blue and red look cool to me in pics.
I thought it was funny year ago you said you didn’t like the Glock 43x haha it’s a good gun people have there favorites. Great review.
The money talk..
Just swapped out my Glock 43x for the 43x MOS so I can put the optic on it. Love this gun! Great video!
I bought one yesterday cant wait to feel it out, its super comfortable and light weight, great video brother
Since acquiring a 43X and the 15 round mag, it’s the only one I carry now.
i have the 43x but not the 15 rounds. i might get it but i do not mind the 10.. its my work gun so the lightness of it make it prefect.
@@MRsolidcolor bro order like 5 shield arms mags rn why the hell would you not carry 5 more rounds with a flush fitting mag. They literally make this gun
@@johnmartin2992 Look at everyone in this comment section complaining about failures from the Shield Arms mags. They don't work. No one should be trusting those mags for anything other than range use only.
@@HarryManback0 I haven’t seen one.
I'm a recent subscriber to your videos. I find them well knowledged and in lighting and information! I realized this is an older video but I am recently looking at a Glock 43X. And your UA-cam video just helped me decide. Thank you and have a wonderful day!
I love the video man. It sold me on getting a 43X MOS as my EDC, in the very near future.
I've never had a Glock before and I am more of a rifle guy than a pistol guy but, I do have a carry conceal pistol that I do like. I have a Smith & Wesson M&P bodyguard .380 semi automatic pistol and I really like it because it is so small and easy to conceal. I know a lot of people don't like the .380 caliber for a ton of different reasons but I do so I will say that I have been keeping my eye on the Glock 42. The Glock 43 X does seem like a nice gun as well. I might have to take a look at that pistol. Nice channel and video, keep up the good fight!
I have myself the g45 and I love it, I’m going to get a 43x due to its smaller size. I mean can’t necessarily go wrong with a glock, I would recommend checking them out
The Glock 43X, especially with the 15 round mags, assuming you live in a Constitutionally abiding state, is a great carry gun. I’ve run a Gen. 4 Glock 27 with a G23 magazine and plastic filler piece for years which is roughly the format of the 43X plus a little width; I do like the benefit of being able to use all 357Sig/40S&W magazines as backup. 40s are required for work so you carry what you have to but I do like the 43x width; if 9mm becomes and option and 43X/48 is included I could see going that way because they have a 15 round capability with flush floor plate. One upside of the 27 is the biliary to go with a flat base mag and get quite small; thankfully I can still shoot well even with the flat bottom. I do like the full grip + short barrel setup as I’m a big guy 6’6” and have never had an issue concealing even carrying OWB, but will say the shorter barrel is nice as you can easily hide the length under a T-shirt whereas the compact length barrels + holster tend to stick down just a little too much, and can become visible.
The Shield Arms mags don't work for about 50% of people. I don't see how that company is still in business.
@@HarryManback0: I know a lot of people that have one or more Glock 43X and/or 48s that use Shield Mags, assuming they’re the only brand as I don’t recall the name only the 15 round count, and none report issues; I am familiar with the mag release problem and believe all have swapped out to aluminum extended magazine releases. I’m a Glock armorer and have swooped a few and am amazed at people that change their own, though do appreciate it, as changing magazine releases is a pain in the butt, at least for me. While I like Glock and have carried them for years, not a 43X though as we’re required to carry 40S&W Glocks but do think the after market is actually doing better with Glock parts than Glock; parts used to be great and quite easy to keep on hand and stock but much like iPhone screens used to be easy when one worked on multiple models and years as they blew up so did Glock models, I some what miss when everything was basically the same, Gen. 2 & 3 time but after RTF and Gen. 4 then 5 then the minis came out Glock seems to not been able to keep up themselves, so I’m glad after markets have stepped up. I personally can’t speak to function or longevity more than I’ve never had a malfunction while shooting one, of the new mags in a Glock 43X, but could see a learning curve from some when switching to an all metal mag.
I know a lot of people that switched to 43X who like the gun but not the 10 limit that it comes with who have gone mad for the 15 round mags; like I said they don’t report issues and that’s over 100 mags between them. And believe me as one of only a couple armorers I’d hear about it. I like the size and have carried a Glock 27 for years with a G23 mag in it with a filler, no idea what company made it, which is about the size of the 43x, plus a little extra width. The 27 for me is hard to beat as it can be backed up with any 40S&W magazine and I’ve gotten used to the loss of a round or two, or more compared to 9mm.
Tactical city slicker Colin here. Back with a diary entry I can't wait to share. Keep it up Colin. Fighting for what's right
Thank you for the review!
Got my first firearm this past December. My father-in-law helped pick out the 43x for me. I really like it.
recommend it?
@@Akboychato it's my first and only firearm so I don't have any comparisons, but it's easy to maintain, good weight, recoil isn't too strong, I'm happy with my purchase
I've carried the 43x Mos for a year now. I run a holosun 507k with shield arms 15 rd mags. I've owned the 26 gen 4 and the 43x is MUCH better. I've come to prefer my 19 for carry at many times because I prefer the size and the biggest part is the irons. Red dots are cool but personally iron sights feel more accurate.
I just feel more comfortable with my 19 but I still carry and love my 43x.
Cool vid. 🤙
@Jeff Schlesinger Mine drop freely. Don't use oem or stock mags with the SA mag release, it'll chew em up from metal on plastic. That's the thing that sucks is you have to commit fully to one mag or the other. I did have the issue at first were the mags wouldn't drop, but I think it was bc I was using both mags. Hope this helps.
@Jeff Schlesinger you have to play with it. I had the same issue at first but don't remember exactly what I did to remedy. There's tons of vids on sa mag issues I believe.
Thanks for the content. Valid points throughout. Good video
Just picked one of these up a few weeks ago. It is my first Glock and I love this thing. Shoots great, extremely to CC.
Almost got one of these, but got a S&W Shield Plus instead and haven't looked back. I love Glocks just only in the double stack flavors.
The G43x is far superior, IMO, when using a double stack SA S15 mags.
Same here. I much prefer Smith when it comes to the smaller guns. I'd take the Shield Plus any day.
@@freedom4all108 Elaborate why you think it is far superior? Cause I find the Shield Plus trigger, grip texture to be superior. Plus it comes with FACTORY 10 AND 13 round magazines. It's not like the Shield design hasn't proven itself. 99% of self defense shootings require no more than 3 rounds so I find the comparison of 15 to 13 not a big deal and would rather go with OEM parts.
@@heeebeeegeeebeee Trigger is the best one on a striker fired carry gun that I have ever tried.
Agree, was about to type the same
You always deliver, incredibly professional, competent, and well detailed videos!! Kudos!!
I used the shield arms mags as carry mags for about 8 moths. I changed to the steel shield mag release as recommend. I had several hundred rounds through the 4 mags I bought with zero issues out of 43x or 48. After 8 months of use being fully loaded for carry I had nothing but malfunctions when trying to get through 2 mags. I’m guessing the magazine Spring became too weak to push the rounds up. Since then I changed back to factory Glock mags and mag release and have had no problem. I personally would stick to the factory mags, 10 rounds is better than maybe 15 if it works.
yeah they are trash. this comment will probably get deleted to appease shield arms.
I’m fine with the factory mags.
Definitely! I'm okay with my factory mags of 10+1 and a back up mag equals 21 on my person. I'm good with that ! After carrying a G23 for almost 8 years...this 43x MOS is wonderful. Red Dot coming soon...
Thanks Colin
Thanks Colin!
Same issue here. Had Gen 1’s and 2’s, nothing but FTF issues. They would jam the gun up super tight
ive only had feeding issues when i run the mags with the 20 round set up, ive never had issues when they are configured for 15, but sounds like youve run more rounds than i have
Best video I’ve seen about this. It’s gonna be my first conceal carry and picking it up this weekend
The quality of your videos are the best I’ve seen.
I agree 100%. Especially with the Shield Arms 15 round magazine
Not to mention the +5 baseplate. Which i just picked up 2 about 30 mins ago
How are the shipped magazines holding up for you? Considering the 43x but have seen complaints about those mags
@@MrBhcole only problem I know of with shield arms magazines is they might not work well with early silver slide Glock 48s
@@MrBhcole I have the gen 1 Shield Arms mags and have had no issues. I do however just load them with 14 rounds.
Might bite the bullet on some shield arms magazines. If you change to the mental mag release, can you still run stock mags?
I love Glocks I have never had any malfunctions or issues with them. Going to take a look at the 43x. I have a 19 and a 17 both great pistols.
I've had a 17 and the 43x for about 2 years now, the 43x will feel a little snappy at first but once you get that down the gun is absolutely butter 🧈. Feels sleek in the hand, the slim G19 grip on it is heavenly
I have several glocks including the 43x. I usually carry my 30 but for tighter or summer clothing the 43x is hard to beat. You will be happy with it for sure if you pick one up
Just plan on doing something for the absence of grip texture.
100% agree, I’ve got two g19 Gen 5’s, one g17 Gen 5, a replica of the original Glock p80, and just tried my brother in law’s g43x this past Sunday then bought one on Monday.
My wife also really enjoyed the grip of the g43x compared to the Sig p365, they’re approx the same width but the g43x has the height of my g19 which makes it easier for her to handle.
Only real issue i have is the 42 is way to light when i shoot recoil is too high 17 isn’t really a problem kinda wish the frame was heavier but i love them too.
Your video change my choice for my next purchase, the 43X mos, thank You !⚜️⚜️
1:05 can we just appreciate how clean that mag rotation was
I bought the 43x last year. And it’s definitely my favorite. With the exception of no red dot and a tungsten guide rod. I put together the exact same set up. Even before I saw this Video. And it works great for all the reasons that you said. I put a magnetic mount under my dash board and transitioning back and forth is so easy to clip and I clip the gun.
What height sights did you add to your 43x. I’m looking to add some so I can cowitness with my red dot
You're a true Patriot. God bless you brother
Been carrying mine almost 2 years. Love it
Best pistol review I've seen here on UA-cam. Thank you!
I own a wide variety of hand guns I like to carry. But my favorite is definitely the 43X! It's slim, lightweight, and very comfortable to carry. I bought my significant other the basic 43X and have been thinking about buying one for me considering when we go out I usually end up carrying hers over my Sig 365. I was wondering if you had any cons or negative feedback what so ever on the 43X compared to other sub compacts.
sig 365 is a piece of crap
Had a glock 48. I loved it. Got rid of it before I joined the Army.

Great video on edc. I like your explanation of why you choose that firearm. Thank you. Just got put on your channel from a friend definitely a subscriber now.
I actually feel low key bad about how much I love 43x over my 19 and 45 and others idk why but it is absolutely amazing gun
Great video, as always! I picked up a 19x to carry conceiled and really enjoyed it until the 43x came along. Now I'm rocking the 43x mos in fde with night sights and sheild arms mags. Fortunately, the trigger in my 43x is super crisp. Mine also came with the best factory glock trigger I've felt, and I own a bunch of glocks. I plan to pick up some suppressor sights and an optic soon.
Dam the 43x mos came in fde?
I'm waiting for the 43x fde to come back in stock again. Lol. Everyone is sold out of it
Got my 43x MOS with the shield arms mags as well. Love it.
Good video with several good points. Btw, I also carry a 43X with 124 gr. HST ammo.
For me, I require a minimalist conceal carry pistol, for smooth, non-snag draws & reholstering.
Also, simplicity in operation/function. The more "Bob on the FOB" accessories you add to it, the more that can go wrong with it.
Besides, in a self defense scenario where you have to reflexively shoot, you will NOT be aiming, but looking over the top of the weapon with both eyes open.
"Simplicity in violence of action!"
@@jordanwerzinski1574 If that works well for you, then don't change because some fella gave an opinion on the interwebs nets.
If you successfully defended yourself in a HOLY SHEEE'IT situation, then I'm glad you're still with us brother!
My gear setup works for me, & I describe why it works for me. Nothing more, or less. CHEERS!!!
@@jordanwerzinski1574 Back @ ya brudder!
This is my exact EDC and I love it!! Go with the premium steel mag catch from shieldarms it’s newer and it gets a much better grip on the mags. I went with a Holosun 507k x2 direct mount after my gunsmith took 2 of the post off. It’s perfection. I’ve posted a few videos at the range with it as always great video brotha 🤙🏽 from DFW
Do you know what trijicon sights those are?
Great review.
Your the Man, I love the G43X going to start EDC, right now its a G19 Gen5.
Thanks for the Video
Love my 43x AND my raven concealment vanguard "holster" for it. I bought a vanguard for every one of my pistols after watching one of your previous videos. Love the minimalism and the ability to use it with pants, shorts, sweats, or even pajamas. 43x and raven concealment is a heck of a combination!!!
I’m with you after watching this video I ordered a vanguard holster. I got it yesterday used it all day I loved it. I was shocked how good it feels not sure if I will use other holster again for this gun.
These ads are out of control
The 43x caught my eye twice when i was in academy, but i still want the sig p320 x-carry over the 43x. I would like to see a comparison video of the two.
Well, those are two very different guns so I doubt you will ever find a video like that. One is a microcompact with a compact length grip, and the other is full size gun with a compact slide(though I suppose with the shield arms mags it makes it a bit more of an apples to apples comparison, but I've also heard very mixed reviews of the shield mags.)
I do really like the sig x-series guns though. I wish they would have made a completely new frame when they made the 320 instead of using the same frames as the hammer fired p250, causing them to have an unnaturally high bore axis(though to be fair, I don't even notice it while shooting, and I suppose it would make transitioning from the hammer fired signs to the 320s less awkward.
I actually recently switched over to a sig p365xl from a glock 19, and I'm so glad I did. Can't believe it took me that long to switch over to a thinner/ smaller/more concealable gun.
@@Mockturtlesoup1 same here. I recently switched from a 43x to a 365xl and from 19 to 320. I’ve shot them side by side multiple times and will be sticking with sig for sure
Excellent review and you got me sold on the MOS, thank you!
Just purchased my 43X MOS recently and love. Haven't gotten the Red Dot yet, but soon to follow. It's replaced my G26 for carry. I only carry Glock, and I never thought another in the lineup would replace my G26 for CC. Glock got it right again.
43x has been my EDC for almost a year now, it’s so light I barely even know it’s on me most of the time. Only thing is I don’t trust the shield mags. Stock configuration is my choice.
It’s simply perfect.
I don't recall anyone having any reliabilty issues with the SA mag, especially the gen 2.
@@TheOfficialCaseMade who's " anyone" ? A lot of us have had issues with our shield mags
I enjoy my standard 10’s in my 43x. If I wanted 15’s I’d carry my g19 with the same length grip so I don’t see much point
@Good Vibez taking a chance
@Good Vibez lots of youtube videos and on reddit of people complaining of feeding issues. Rather have 10 rounds go boom every time than a malfunction with 15
I still believe the best ccw Glock is STILL the 26. The capacity, versatility, shootability, etc. is just unmatched by any other Glock. Plus, even with the smallest 10 round mag you can hide it in small pockets if needed or in a bellyband under your shirt. Not to mention even with 13 rounds grip extension, it still hides extremely well. Plus in a pinch you can still use the standard 15 or 17 round mags, or the 33 round g18 mags.
You bite sharks… no more g18 talk
You’re right about the mag compatibility benefits, that’s kinda unmatched by any other platform. I will say though these slimmer guns coming out are so nice for smaller people, I’m 145lbs so a lot of guns are hard to conceal in the summer
@@jacobbabcock2511 oh dang. I'm 200lbs at 6'3" so everything conceals for me. I even carry a G20 sometimes
@@SharkByteOfficial I'm 5ft 4 inches and around 158lbs and I have a husky build, so I can conceal my G26 with a G19 mag and Xgrip, TLR6 with no issues. I use a hybrid holster. The slimmer guns do weigh less though. I just picked up a P365XL and put the 15 round magazine and it still feels lighter than the G26 indeed.
In my younger days, my CCW was a Walther PPK/S. Basically a PPK slide on a PP frame. Fell in love with the G43X first time I held one in my hand. Basically a G43 slide on a G48 frame, same idea as the PPK/S, but much lighter and higher capacity. What's not to love?....
I carry the same gun with the 15 round mag, love it!
I’ll be checking out that trigger guard holster, thx!
Bought the 43X, with Shield (Gen 1) mags, because of Colion's review. Happy so far.
