@@burgerman3500 The 43 has a different (thinner) frame than the 43x, so they use different magazines. This modification makes it smaller for concealment and you can use either their shorter 43x magazines along with standard 43x magazines. Not saying it's worth it just saying what it is.
@@yahhboyd even if it’s for the rail mount…there’s only like 3 lights that can mount on the slimline glocks. And a rail adapter kit to add a rail on a non rail Glock is like 30 bucks…which won’t void your warranty…so it still doesn’t make sense. To each their own I guess 🤷🏻♂️
None of this is innovative. It’s just like mobile phones make them bigger then smaller then bigger…..shoot a lot and the gun really makes no difference.
@hennysworld2382 not that I'd pay fir it. But it's the size of a 43 but holds 4 more rounds. There isn't a flush fit magazine on the market for the 43 that holds anywhere near 10.
@ChiraqInsight I guess when you talk about it having the ability to take any glock mags, but if money isn't an issue, you could just get the mag extensions
Bingo. And the Hellcat is a better gun. Glock has never made a gun that as good as the hellcat, hellcat pro and certainly the hellcat pro comp. Glock is a fucking dinosaur in the firearms industry now. Everyone is kicking their ass.
I’m so confused. The 43X already comes with 10 round mags. The only reason people switch to steel hardware was for the extra capacity shield offered. Why would they take away the only thing they were doing correctly? You expect me to swap my hardware and buy all new mags, just so I can have the exact same capacity? What am I missing here?
you can get ETS 7 round mags for 43, just use the 6 round magazines, or you can use OEM magazines on a G26, and infact magpul pinkie mags for 12 rounds... Why would anyone PAY shield arms for this then also BUY OVERPRICED shield arms mags when they are not proven.... Just to reduce reliability for 4 rounds over a a G43 or give up reliability over OEM MAGS for a slightly thinner way more expensive G26? USELESS.
This is dumb, get a 43 or a 43x with applicable magazines. Being this cheap get a high point pappa bear momma bear figure it out. This is stupid plain and simple Dave.
thats not for the 43x. the 43x already comes with a 10rd magazine. the G43 comes with 7rd mag that shield made the 10rd and 12rd mag. SA made the 15rd for the 43x
Exciting. Now just ad a manual safety, chamber indicator and interrupt to prevent firing without magazine and you could sell the gun in the People’s Republic of California!
Has anyone actually done this? I’m trying to find someone who is actually done this and use this service. I see videos, but I’ve never seen anybody who has done it…
This company is such a joke, I hate that I have to buy their magazines if I want 15rounds and even then I have to replace the mag release with their metal one, which means I can no longer use normal mags because it eats those up
Yea no I don’t trust those mags I shaved a 19x mag now I have 20 rounds in my 43x it stick out about a inch I’m fine with it it runs flawlessly and I can trust it
We took a 43x and turned in to a 43!
well yes, but no
The 43 has it's own magazines as far as I know, so they basically made it into what the 43 should be

*with more rounds
@@burgerman3500 1000% wrong
They recreated the 43… and want to charge you extra for it lol
Recreated a 43 that can hold 10 rounds flush fit!
Don’t you think it would be smarter to make a ten round mag for the 43?
the original 43 is slightly smaller in grip size so i don’t know if that’d be possible
So cute !! ^^
With 15 rounds it us perfect for carry !! Almost an EDC ..! ^^
Well, it would definitely make more sense than going and cutting up the frame. Lol
The magwell of the 43 is slightly thinner so it probably would be harder to make a 10 round mag for it.
“ i want more rounds “
“ okay- here’s 2 more “
You forgot about the plus 5 mag extension that you can add to the already 15 round mag giving you a total of 20 rounds all together 👍
or get a 43? making solutions to a problem that never existed
Right? Why would you buy a 43x to chop the grip to a 43. Lmao 🤦🏻♂️
Rail mount?

Just get a Glock 26!
I thought so too, until I realized that the 43x is thinner & lighter than the Glock 26
So what. Either it fits in a pocket or it don't.@@HanGhost99
@warrenrosen132
No, but it can with shield arms chop shop. Basically, they made a glock 26 but thinner & much lighter :3
@@HanGhost9926 is more versatile

It's that guy! He had some good youtube videos
Shield arms keeping Glock relevant in todays market.
No they are not
So basically it's like a Glock 43 with more rounds than a Glock 43
This is a 43.....
thats what i was thinking 43x has a longer grip
@@kevinbrainard yes.....that's why a video about a 43x grip reduction.....
@@printingwithpeek4897even then. Why even chop the grip on a 43x just buy the 43. 🤦🏻♂️
@@hennysworld2382 Exactly!
Yeah, a 43 that holds 10 rounds in a double stack magazine
Why are we going backwards? 😅
The innovation is crazzzyyy!!!
Cut the grip... but make the mag longer...
😂
I mean, at this point, why don't they just make a block clone that takes their mags?
Or just buy shadow CR920 because the longer grips why we like the 43x
Can I trust a companys product if they decide charging customers 200 bucks to turn a Glock 43x to a Glock 43 was a worthy business idea?
Let’s chop off the grip to make shorter and then add extended magazine. Just brilliant
Shield arms is a garbage company with terrible customer service.
that it, this video has officially removed glock from my list of potential first carry guns what a joke💀
Why? this isn’t even Glock it’s a 3rd party modification
We going full circle with the 43
Lol. This video is funny. I’ll buy the 19
So a p365 finally.
I got one a few days ago...it says sig 365 on the box😅
Glock 43 called……. Said “don’t bother coming home tonight”
If Glock makes a pistol like this that holds 10 rounds, it is instantly my ccw.
Hellcat/hellcat rdp is your answer to that issue
Bingo. And the Hellcat is a better gun. Glock has never made a gun that as good as the hellcat, hellcat pro and certainly the hellcat pro comp. Glock is a fucking dinosaur in the firearms industry now. Everyone is kicking their ass.
My hellcat pro and my Glock 19 are my most reliable firearms though. They eat everything

I have this gun it’s called a gx4…Taurus perfection
People had problems with shield arms mags
I kinda like this
So they copied the Glock copy shadow CR920 in order to copy the OG 43 who was copied by the CR920?
Can you make the 20rds ones 100% reliable? I spend over 60$ on one and it’s junk to me keeps jamming up the everytime the regular 15rd runs tho
Glock 26 with extra steps?
There is no point in getting a 43x chopped into a regular 43

Void any Glock warranty?
Thats the least of the problems imo. Imagine that thing malfunctioning in a self defense scenario.
thats not for the 43x. the 43x already comes with a 10rd magazine. the G43 comes with 7rd mag that shield made the 10rd and 12rd mag. SA made the 15rd for the 43x
So you made it a 43, and put a 15 rounder in it and made it a 43x again...
43x????? how come the grip so short????? 🤔
Exciting. Now just ad a manual safety, chamber indicator and interrupt to prevent firing without magazine and you could sell the gun in the People’s Republic of California!
So they gave a 43x a circumcision
The 43x comes with 10 round mags……so why buy 10 round mags?
almost a G26
Wait till you guys learn what an M&p shield plus is 🤦♂️
Damn I want it…
It’s the fucking Glock 43
They might as well just make the 43 able to fit 43c mags at this point that’s all that is
Since the micro dagger and sct43sc have come out I never use the 43x. I might have this done just because.
lol this is exactly why I’m looking at trying a micro dagger
They make a flush 15 round mag for the 43x..... whats the point of cutting it down to hold 10 and 12...
So why not just own a Glock 26 like I do😜
Porra, por essas e tantas outras que não tem q inventar. Vai de G26 e assunto encerrado
Sweet
Iiiii NEEEEEddddd iiiiitttttttT
That looks like a 43. I’m confused.
NEGATIVE! Already had the 43. Not going backwards!!
Jesus Shield Arms is squeezing every last bit of juice out of the 43/43x. I like a lot of their product but this one is a stretch.
Cant i just get a 43 frame...
or just make a oem 15 round for the 43x
Umm . They reinvented a Glock 43, the hard way? And I'm supposed to pay for this? 😅
They already make 10 round mags for the glock 43 how does this make sense? Why cause it has a picatinny rail and you need a flashlight to go get milk?
Was of time, turn the 43x back into the 43 in my opinion
Still probably jams
So they made what Glock isn't willing to do - make a direct competitor to the P365,
That just a G43 with extra steps
20 rds plz
There’s the 43 why would u need to chop a 43x 😂
Reason I can't give up my Glock 26
I’m not pocket carrying lol
Bro that’s literally a Glock 43 with a 43x slide😂😂 so that’s a 43 not 43x
As someone who has a g43, if you gonna do this just carry a g19 or some other full-size lol
Just get a aftermarket 43 frame😂
but… like… why ?
Just buy a hellcat 😂
Eww
Bingo
Has anyone actually done this? I’m trying to find someone who is actually done this and use this service. I see videos, but I’ve never seen anybody who has done it…
So it's a 43
Isn’t that just a 43
Or make a magwell for the 43 and save hella money 😂🤷🏼♂️
SMH Glock loves seeing its cheerleaders spend unnecessary monies😂😂😂😂
Cutting the glock 43x is the stoopidist thing I have ever heard of…..
🙂↔️
This company is such a joke, I hate that I have to buy their magazines if I want 15rounds and even then I have to replace the mag release with their metal one, which means I can no longer use normal mags because it eats those up
Cr920. Don’t butcher a glock.
Don’t fix what’s not broken.
Thats a dumb idea when everyone wants 17 rounds in a 43x like in the macro and hellcat pro
This didn’t make any sense. Chopping and then asking for more rounds you should have left the gun alone from the get go 😂
~STAY PEELED!!
Just buy a Glock 26 problem solved.
This is just stupid tbh we need the mags to either be improved or new design
Or you can just buy a Glock 26 and use factory mags and not have to cut your frame....
Yea no I don’t trust those mags I shaved a 19x mag now I have 20 rounds in my 43x it stick out about a inch I’m fine with it it runs flawlessly and I can trust it
Just buy the new SHADOW SYSTEM'S CR920X 15 Rounds and it's got all the MODS FOR $600
170 bucks for some bs!
Not gonna recommend that to people
Dont like it.... for all that, buy a 26....
Bro wtf
🫶🏿
This is stupid
Also, don’t rely on 3rd party mags …
😂😂😂
Glock fan boys will do anything to not carry a full size 💀
Meh, I'll continue to carry my TACOPS 17+1.
