    I got the 43x MOS a bit after buying my mom the 48. I pretty much switched her slides because hers didn’t come with the rail and I needed a longer barrel for security duty. I’ve ran hundreds of rounds through 2 Shield Arm mags with both 48 and 43 variants with different parts along the way. I put the gold SA mag well and gold SA slide release just because it was gold. I’ve never had a jam or issue with anything I’ve added or the different variants. I haven’t put 1000 rounds yet but I trust it with my life because with all the different changes and ammo types, I’ve yet to run into any issues. Great carry piece Forsure!!!!

    The tungsten guide rod is a nice upgrade. I did that on my daughters EDC 43x and she loves it. Ithink it's a grip strength/ muzzle flip issue, but it helped her range accuracy a bit, even though it adds a bit of weight to the the gun, it gives her more confidence, which is always a positive. I'm considering it on my 43x, just because it seems to work well.

    My friend has the 43x and it’s a very nice pistol. I’ve been thinking about it as an EDC but the capacity is the thing that keeps me away from it. I know you can buy 15-round capacity but then not being Glock I’m not sure of the reliability. Thanks for this video!

    • @zuriwagner5566
      @zuriwagner5566 Рік тому +8

      Have more or less decided on the 43X myself, mainly because Glocks are what I'm most familiar with and they've never once given me a reliability issue. I have never considered 11 rounds of 9mm to be a concern. Used to carry a Walther PPS in .40 with a 7-round mag and never felt under-equipped. Also a 7-round SIG P232 in .380. I think the recent upgrades in sub-compact mag capacity have made us all a little nuts. A scenario requiring > 11 rounds just seems insanely unlikely if you're a civilian. Like you, I would probably not use aftermarket mags due to reliability concerns.

    I'm looking for my first gun! 🔫 🎉😂
    I've decided on the Glock 43x for its compact, slim EDC capability.
    I'm going with Glock based only on the fact that I "hear" they are some of the most reliable pistols out there. Based on no personal experience whatsoever. I've fired my friends guns many times and it's time for my own!
    I want something first timer easy. Reliable for personal/home protection. The 43x is $530+tax at my local Dunham's.
    That's bloated retail I know but still $50 cheaper than the 43x MOS, at just 2 oz's lighter... I'm willing to pay the steep price if I can get a "good" gun!
    I'm also looking at the Glock 44 , 22LR for a fun play toy! That's a $400 gun. The Glock 19 is a must I hear as well!😂
    Damn I'm gonna go broke with these damn Glocks!😂
    Then there's MODS and triggers n stuff...😢😂😂😊

    My only major gripe are two simple things:
    I never wanted a Glock as a left handed shooter because they didn’t have ambidextrous slide releases. Not a big issue but the Gen 5 was a great improvement.
    My next gripe is the 10rd mag issue. You can take a Glock 19 mag and remove plastic from one side and it will work just fine. Such a simple fix/design flaw. I’m sure they did it on purpose. Can’t have the 43X undercut the 19.
    But the way I see it, people are either gonna buy a 19 or 43X. And if a 43X can replace a 19, why not?
    If Glock is going to sell one or the other, why not sell either? As opposed to someone choosing a P365 over a G43X/G48 over such a simple design that could be implemented.

The mag is such a crucial point of a semi automatic firearm and I know a lot of people haven’t had issues with them, but enough people have to give me some pause with them. I’ve seen a video where they compare the shield mags to the stocks ones side by side and the geometry is pretty different.

Second, the little flashlight notch is ridiculous to me. H&K MOS versions are a far better option if you want that kind of options, but they are larger.

    The only downfall of the 43x is that its almost proprietary. I can’t walk into a gun shop and buy a mag for it. Shield arms are junk. The 19 is worth the extra bulk

    So I guess I should get the 43x before the 19. I plan on getting both, one for IWB conceal carry and the other for home defense or OWB carry (concealed or not). I guess if I get used to shooting the 43x and control the recoil, shooting the 19 will be an easy transition

    • @prodby.jerm1
      @prodby.jerm1 Рік тому

      Get the 19. Buy once cry once. The 43x is nice, it was my first concealed carry weapon, BUT, its a snappy gun. I sold mine and got the 19 and won’t go back. I’m built with a dad bod and conceal a 19 with a 19x spare mag in a sidecar everyday. You’re gonna learn way more with a “full size” pistol than with a subcompact with a 3in barrel.

    • @LtSHAKEnBAKE
      @LtSHAKEnBAKE Рік тому

      Well I plan on getting both. I’d just hate to get the 19 first and not like how it carries, especially when I go to sit with it appendix. I expect the 43x to be snappy and am willing to put in the time to get my recoil control dialed in

      I had some FTFs with them and the 15th round was a pain to get in so you have to put 13-14 in then let the mag break in . kinda annoying
