- This video is about what has been added to this G43X for my Everyday Day Carry pistol.
Tulster Holster (I slipped up in this video and said mag lol )
Streamlight Tlr 6 with "friggin laser"
Shield Arms S15 magazines 15 rounds of freedom
TRUGLO Night sights
Tyrant Design extended magazine release
Glock inc. Factory magazines
Welp. We know who hoarded all the SR mags. 🤦🏻♂️
He's one of those guys.
Yeah man you aren’t lying my god
I just left off the website lol
He Is probably saying, "no more S15 mags, I'm glad I bought 100 of them before the shortage"......🤣🤣🤣
Yeah that part actually pissed me off because I need one right now and tha have been out of stock for 4 months
Thank you for the video.
On my Glock 43x MOS, I installed Night Fision sights suppressor height because later on I will probably install a Holosun but these sights are nice, installed Talon grips and a TLR 7 sub, and I carry it in a JX Tactical Fat Guy holster don’t let the name discouraged you it’s not only for heavy set guys.
Very helpful, I got a G43x and got this entire setup. :) awesome recommendation - thank you
Just picked up a 43x today and ran across your video while looking for some upgrades. Good stuff here, thanks
Glock PERFECTION indeed.
FINALLY! Common sense upgrades for the 43X without the $2K price tag.
Just picked one up. Super excited to start customizing to meet my needs..
The nightstick laser light combo is superior
I like those upgrades man 👍👍
Most edc/ccw situations are going to happen so quick and so fast the last thing u r going to be thinking about is if your flashlight has enough lumens. Having a flashlight and activating it period will be the last thing on your mind. Your 43X is beautiful. Love to see you shooting that beauty and showing us how well those mags work.
This is exactly why I took my tlr6 off and put some truglo day/night sights also using the raven vanguard, I am liking it a lot .
@@thomasdamiano8260 Man awesome choice on those sights for sure! I love those. I have a flashlight (tlr7) on my h&k vp9, which is my bedside gun. And thats the only reason I have a flashlight on it because its one of the home/bedside guns. On my carry, Its not even a thought to put a flashlight on it. Things happen way too fast in those situations Opinions vary of course. How do u like the vanguard?
I follow the 3x3x3 Rule mindset. That a armed citizen, ccw type lethal force event; not a 🚔 or military will be; in about 3sec or less, have about 3 rounds fired in total(both sides), be at a approx range of 3ft. Some cadre, trainers say 3yd 🤔. You MIGHT be able to use a white light or turn on a laser switch but I'd agree a use of force event might end in 2-3sec.
@@DavidLLambertmobile very much agree. Well said bro
I agree with your statement on the flash light. I'm a 3× combat vet. Two things will happen "IF"!!!!!..... you can even get your gun in hand and finger on the trigger. You'll fire off rounds like an1890's gattlin' gun and you might shit your pants.
You'll fight like you train. If all your training is done on UA-cam. You might as well wear diapers to bed.
Tyrant Design Slide release just released and would look good next to that mag release
Thanks for watching. I just bought and installed the Vickers Tactical slide release. I wish I would have known that Tyrant Designs was making one.
Excellent upgrades.
Great quick video
Nice upgrades!
I needed this video so bad. Not so crazy with those sights either. Idk if I should go for the TLR 6 or the upcoming new sub compact TLR 7 light tho... The holsters. Im debating on crossbreed or this tulster you have on this vlog
Truglo night sights…brightest out there . Love um
Yes 👍 Tru Glo sights are very well built and last for several years at a very decent price point.
I’ve been carrying the shield arms mags since the beginning of the year and one of them I carry the most is already showing signs of rust/corrosion. I wear it all day in a stealth gear mini vent core.
they make powercron versions
I am using the Shield Arms S15 mags with my 43X. Other upgrades include Shield Arm's mag catch, Ameriglo i-dot sights, an Overwatch Precision polyDat duty ready trigger and a Ghost connector.
I like the Trijicon HD orange 3 dot sights. Durable, easy to view in low light 🌃. For Glocks, I like to add Glock Store stainless slide locks, Tango Down Slide stop lever, Vickers-Tango Down magazine release(left hand use). I sometimes drop in Glock Store NP3 coated 3.5lb trigger connector, LWD 🐺 extractor. Depending on the Glock model.
Did U have to heat it up too?jeez wth is that about?”lol
No wonder I haven't been able to buy any S15's for over a year, YOU FUCKING BOUGHT THEM ALL UP.
I just got my Glock 43X MOS and love it!! I’m waiting for the streamlight TLR7 SUB 500 lumen to be released on 4/15/2021 already ordered my Holosun 507k and base plate. I can’t find these S15 mags anywhere. Great video 👍🏽
Even though the s15 mags say back ordered you’re still able to order them. Shield arms is pretty much caught up with demand, I ordered mine Saturday and they were shipped to me on Wednesday and received them today (Friday ). I got 3 of them
Great video man. How has your 43x held up so far? I just ordered my Glock 43x MOS online and I'm waiting for it to ship to my local gun store. If I want to use the Shield Arm mags in my 43x, I just have to buy the mags and the metal button release correct? No springs or anything?
Interesting. My Shield Arms 15 round mags worked right out the box on my 43X. They come flying out.
Thanks for watching is your gun Austria made they are not as tight as US made Glock 43X and 48
Has the Swiss tritium. Man that just makes me want them even more. 🤣 Waiting on the Tulster Oath holster.
Great video, thanks for the tip
That's awesome! Thanks alot tho because now im going to have buy one lol.
Just to share I have 43x mos with holosun 407k was finding an issue of night sight hanging off the back of the slide so by trial and error I found out that those truglo tritium sight for a glock 30 are actually perfect if running a red dot like it was meant to be
How have those shield arms magazines been treating you? Heard a lot of good things but recently started hearing bad things. Wondering if the demand has caused them to skimp on the quality.
How's those SA 15s doing for the 43x?
I'm still on the bench with it mixed reviews.
Figured you'd have some good input on it since it's been a year or 2 since you've been running them
nice setup bro
Do you have a video showing HOW to do the mag adjustment with masking tape?
Nice
I liked how you were chewing gum the whole time 😂
I’m on the fence with shield arms, I see clear cut different views about them
Can you do a video on the masking tap trick please? I just want to do it right 👍
Thanks for watching, Yes I will get a video on how I did the mag well expansion.
Dose it fit the glock43 or any type of magazine that fits in glock43 with plus ammo? 🦒🦒🦒
I like your set up
Thanks for watching. The G43X is good out of the box. With a few of these upgrades it's a great EDC gun for sure.
Did expanding it like that effect how the OEM mags fit?
can you do a video on how you made the clips so nice n smoothie
Have you had problems with that mag release and those shield mags?
Got my s15 mags and mag release in the way. Upg iron sights and stream light are the final additions after that
The stock mag release in the 43x is aluminum also. The shield mag release is steel which will not wear with the steel mags over time. I didn’t know about the TLR-6 and how it fits without the rail. That’s pretty cool.
Fits on the trigger guard
The stock mag release is not aluminum
@@ryanlangley7762 go scratch one and get back to me. They are painted aluminum. The steel mag release is still required because the steel mags are too hard for aluminum. But you are wrong, mine was aluminum and so are every other 43x.
@@goldenbanjo197 mine was definitely not aluminum lol
@@snappishmonkey5630 oh yes it was. Glock did not make them polymer. They only build them one way my friend.
Do we need to heat the Glock 43x mag in order to make space for the S15 ? Why did you do that? That changes my plans entirely.
Is heating it up necessary? Or is replacing the mag catch enough.
Damn he got hello magazines
Seriously it's like over $600 worth of gear, not including the gun.lol
Great video, if anyone knows the answe please post. I don't want the flashlight laser combo , i just want the laser. So i am looking at the crimson trace, anyone know were i can get a holster that fits the 43x with the laser attached. Thanks for a great vid
Are the base plates on your s15 mags uneven? I noticed on mine the right side of the mag is longer then the leftside. Its really noticeable when the mag is in the gun.
I will double check mine I did open up the magazine well on my G43X. Have you heated/opened up the mag well on your gun yet?
@@teamstucker624
Mine works fine. The gap between the base plate and the magwell of the gun is different gap on left side vs right side of gun. Looks like the magazine itself is longer on one side
Homie went crazy on Amazon lol
Some great suggestions! Question: I've heard that, in the context of mags vs mag release, plastic on plastic is fine, metal on metal is fine, but to mix is bad. So, once you swap in the metal mag release, does it chew up your stock plastic mags?
That's what I've been hearing...a LOT.
Yes you need a steel mag release I have the tyrant one he has in his. It’s aluminum and it has been chipping away and now drops mags. Make sure you get steel if you run the shield mags
I have put over 1,700 rounds through my 1st 43x, 98% through shield mags (2nd Gen) with the stock release. I haven't had any problems. I will eventually take out the mag release to inspect it, but so far everything is fine.
Basically, seems like Shield Arms has released a defective product from the start.
The 43x comes with two, 10-round mags that have no issue with the OEM plastic mag release. That’s a total of 20. ✅
Add the Shield Arms to the mix, with a 15-round mag, but you then lose confidence in, and basically, the use of the 10-round Glock mags; it is only a matter of time before the plastic mag release breaks.
So, you now have one 15-round mag.
I have since purchased one 15rnd SA mag, done the release swap, and haven't looked back. Never a problem with mine, so far. Ymmv.
Swapping out the mag release is a 5 minute issue, tops. You just need needle nose pliers.
How's the S-15 reliability going?
How are people finding the 43x available? I feel like I must not be looking in the right place. I really want to get one. Anyone have any suggestions please help!
Those sights are my glock go to.
I was thinking about getting the G43X or the Sig p365, the G43X is bigger but herd the safety is weird
Glock 43X is a great choice for EDC and home defense I would say also the Sig P365 is very decent for both really you good ether way. Thanks for watching good luck with the new purchase.
How are you liking that tipster holster?
Now I know where all the s15s went!! 🤣
To the same people who got all the ammo and TP.
True glow sights. Well , I changed to the XS night sights. Which are still tritium but the front has bright orange ring around the tritium. Much better distinguished sight picture . Just sayn
Have you worn out that aluminum mag catch yet?
I switched back to the glock factory mags after the S15s gave me some issues
what kind of issues did you have?
Please include links for items u purchased
Mag shortage,, Gen 2... shield is playing the game. Been on a waiting list for two months, but the charges on my card went through perfectly fine.
Ever get yours? I ordered 2 weeks ago.
@@sd1rager yep.... Took a month and a half... But sounds like they are keeping up and sending out gen 2 mags
GLIZZY with a beam
Hey do you want to sell the extra glock mags you bought lol cause I don't think you will be needing them after you have switched to the 15 rd shields
Check out the brand new TLR-7 sub. Its 500 lumens and goes for about $120 on Amazon.
A must have!!!!
Watched this vid wit Beats Studio 3’s.... I hear him chewing gum and all the background noise. I keep looking over my shoulder thinkin ppl are movin near me 😱😂
Any issue with the mag release being exposed and not protected by the holster?
Thanks for watching. I was wondering if it would get pressed so I smashed into a door and even laid down on the gun in the holster no accidentally dropped magazine.
How much did you pay for that holster?
Love this setup I'm def copying u
In suprised the s15 mags are sold out for over a year now
Gd info thx
Ahhhhh friend…i dont knoooooow bout all that heatin it up stuff buddy
🤔lol
Hey how do the 15 round mags run with 43x ??? Any issues when firing ???
They function great. I’ve had then since beginning of year with 0 problems. Might be worth waiting a little longer though cause I think they will be releasing them with a more durable finish. The one I carry everyday is starting to show rust and corrosion in a few spots
Any malfunction in the s15
You kept the stock trigger?
Get the lasermax guide rod
Nice
R u willing two sell two of those shield arms 😂😂😂 back order is a pain in the butt
Right.. I’m WAITING
@@gunghogringo just go through 3rd party websites
@@765fishing3 I’m aware.. but I am not paying $100 for a mag that sells for $38 🤣
@@gunghogringo best bet is backorder then tbh
I’m all happy over here with my 2 15 rounders 🤦🏻♂️
Is that the ‘Oath’ holster you’ve got there?
Tulster holster is what it is one of my favorite brands of holsters. Thanks for watching
can you use stock mags if you upgraded the release to metal ?
yes my stock work good with ndz mag release. I am having a problem with sd15 poping out on first use. Really have to smack those sd15s in.
I have the same set up for my sig p365.
The tlr6 laser fits perfect?? I have a p365 but I’m jus trying to k b4 I by the laser
@@rudeboyHEEM it fits perfectly. Make sure it says on the title that the tlr6 is for the p365.
Can you drop list ? W links ? 🔗
What caliber?
Where can I find a extended mag for my 43x?
I’ve seen the 15 round mags online but they are sold out EVERYWHERE
Trying to get everything in one place is the problem with the 43x
How about magwell for glock 43 ?
The G43 takes different magazines than the G43X so no need for any magazine well modification the S15 will not fit the regular G43.
I want the s15 mag so bad! But they are out of stock
Ebay
Save a little bit of money... on your 8 Shield Arms mags for your Glock 43x 😳
I didn’t know people still bought flocks without red dots.
Is this a 80 % lower and where did you get it?? Thanks and Merry Christmas to you and yours
Cuanto la mira tlr-6
Damn how much for a mag man
Anyone have links?
I’m not educated on this just asking I believe I heard that the metal magazine release will damage the factory Glock mags or is that only steal magazine releases yours is aluminum so I’m not sure I’m interested in it
Yes there will be wear on the polymer outside of the factory magazines vs aluminum magazine release/catch. Any time you have harder surface moving/rubbing against softer material the soft components wear. That being said AR-15 metal magazine catches also wear polymer magazines in the same way it's a long drawn out process not an overnight thing. Long story short buy a few range/training mags and have carry few dedicated magazines that only stay in your EDC. Thanks for watching I hope this helps.
Team Stucker ok thank you I was a little confused on the subject thanks
Did you remove the factory grip texture?
That's true just seems like a accident waiting to happen if you buy the 15 rdrs you have to buy a different mag release too if you use factory mags they will become damaged it's better not to use 10 rdrs because in time it will make the weapon malfunction from what I understand.
How can I contact u
Why can’t SA make polymer mags so we don’t hve to deal with this release change bs? How much more expensive could it be? and obviously people would buy them.
I agree with you there it's possible an insert on the front where that fold is at. It perfect for a polymer insert like a sideways lancer mag up and down instead of just the top.
How’s that magcatch holding up?
Great they are very well built the finish is holding up better than the stock one did.
lol good luck...I traded that tiny thing in.
150$ 15 rd mags🤣
Yooo sell me one of those shield arms mags 😢
niceee
They (those S15 aftermarket mags) make my G43X heavier, no thanks. Besides, I
usually can hit my target with one (1) or two (2) shots. _But if you miss a lot_ I can
see the need for the S15 or S20 even.
I agree not sure why you would need a light or red dot for pistol. Close quarters combat doesn’t call for a red dot or light.
@@line6reed I've been in the US Navy using the M1911, combat shotgun, M14, etc. Out in civilian life I have used/owned a lot of guns and the truth of the matter is all these _"upgrades"_ or as I call this _"junk"_ people put on their guns to pimp them out, only helps the aftermarket get rich. They are laughing all the way to the bank.
Respecting to the video maker, heres some facts of todays handgun bullets/magazine capacity:
1. All hand gun calibers are weak at "stopping" power & killing power.
2. The power of your hand gun is your *shot placement.*
3. In almost all real life CCW & self defense shootings 4 to 5 shots are fired on average.
The three (3) best ways in CCW & self defense to be more effective in stopping/killing power is to:
1. practice
2. practice
3. practice
This has very little to do with the modifications you do to your CCW piece or type of handgun/caliber you use.
@@sweetcostarica you can basically say the same thing about upgrades on anything. Most things function fine from the factory. Does not mean you can't improve or customize to your liking. A vehicle can be upgraded with the best parts available but the skill of the driver is what's gonna get the car around the track or down the strip fastest. It does not mean the upgrades are "junk" or "useless. Same with guns
@@soneji-ml5fp performance upgrades are one thing. Overpriced aftermarket extended mags and a flashlight DO NOT enhance performance. Maybe if he got a drop in trigger kit, upgraded barrel/slide it wouldn’t be considered “junk” upgrades.
Wouldn’t heat up the grip . Let it wear on its own
First thing I did was put a holosun on my mos
