@@bobbyb7127 so I have only fired the original shield in 9mm and in 40. I thought the shield was a tad snappy as well but there will always be a negative to a small ccw gun. The bigger the gun the less snap but it makes concealing an awful experience. The shield is an awesome reliable gun.
I agree that the Glock 43 is ultimately perfect. I have a shield plus, 4inch PC shield, m&p 2.0 subcompact, LCP max, yet carry the G43 or 42 everyday without hesitation. Small, light. Ultra reliable. Perfect. Interested in the 26 but the slim line 43 just disappears.
Fix the audio before making excuses for the baby mag bro jk jk nothing wrong with 5 rounders. Also what difference does the loaded vs unloaded make? I posted a video shooting full auto no problem?
Hahaha sorry I didn’t even realize the audio was bad. I already got a strike against me for a mag having ammo in it and not being at a range I got ratted out as being unsafe. I also am being told I’m no longer allowed to show high capacity mags anymore but unsure if it’s true. I Havnt made a video in a bit maybe I should start it back up.
samurai sword and my predator axe 🪓 useable replica and a I have a deer Fox Chihuahua terrier next to me and pitbull im great as long as I'm in trenches I'm doing good
I'm hoping to get one this weekend (tax-free weekend). Did you notice the laser etching on the slide wearing off since you've had it? I've watched several videos on this model, only one mentioned it. Just curious.
I have very low round count and have never holstered it before but so far looks like the day it was purchased. The recoil spring was very stiff before I put a few hundred rounds through it but still shot without a failure.
Thanks for the advice I will try that! Now that I’m living in a commie state that I never will be able to buy them again most likely I have to take care of them lol
I tried the 43. The recoil is ludicrous because it’s such a light gun. I carry the ruger lcp2 or my old standby colt detective special which I bought in 1973.
I never minded the recoil but I’ll tell ya I do miss my revolver. I still think everyday with buying another one for the collection. I had a smith 640 in 357. I was very inaccurate with the snap and double action only. It was clearly user error and not enough training on my part.
Agree. I have all the Glocks. I carry the 43 when I walk and the Glock 19 when we go out. I keep fit so I am able to appendix carry my 19 as well as the 43X. I recently purchased a Glock 25 in .380 a great gun too. No recoil and 16 rounds too. Have an awesome day. 😊
6 or 7 rounds are enough if you live in city like Mayberry.., but if you have to commute in urban cities, low capacity won’t do it. these criminals have GLOCK switches and Extendo‘s. And because of that, I moved from my M&P Shield 2.0 to a Sig P365X for the summer. and winter I carry a Glock 43X mos with the shield arm Gen3 15 round mags
Thank you for the video and the information you gave. I have the 43 and i simply love it. I carry it on my leg and I cant even tell it is there and not even sure as to why people hate on this gun. It's my 2nd favorite Glock. My favorite is my G17 Gen5. I carry it on my side in a nice Safariland holster everyday. Love these 2. I'm gonna get a 43 for my wife to replace her LC9S on her ankle and she carries her G17 Gen5 as well. I like unity in pistols when it comes to carrying. Thanks again my friend.
You should take a look into the SCT43 frame. itll let you basically have both a 43 and 43x for cheaper than buying a 43x and you can swap over your 43 upper.
I personally shoot my 43 better than a shield but If that’s the gun you shoot the best then I would stick with whatever is more accurate for you. I’m in mass so buying free state stuff with no safety is so expensive. I started shooting Glocks from the beginning. I’m very intrigued by the sig 365 I just wanted to wait for all the bugs to get worked out.
Honestly it prob wouldn’t work because your suppose to put the golf ball on the tee. It’s like a small line in the back to line up with the circle. There perfect for getting on target extremely fast. In the beginning your groupings will definitely be off compared to a three dot site. If it’s a self defense gun I recommend them.
This is the variant I want. Looking around they seem to be kind of overshadowed by all the fancy performance center and pro series models with scandium frames and ported slides and all those things I don't want, I just want the all steel most inexpensive E series, I think they're going for around 1100, i'll keep looking
Yea that’s exactly why I bought the normal e series. I don’t need fancy porting or the cool looking rounded butt on some of the models. I honestly don’t carry 1911s but I love to shoot them. The normal e series shoots like a dream. I have shot many 1911s and this holds its own. Thank you for the support and comment.
I just bought the engraved model, paid $1480 with tax and it came with a wooden case and a plastic carry case. The wooden case has Smith and Wesson engraved on the top and is beautiful. Suggested retail is $1329.00
@@Baystateoutdoors762 no problem happy to help. I think you’ll notice that the retention will actually click very nicely with the spare mag if you put it in the other way.
If I’m approaching this without any previous Glock experience or mags or the like, do you have a recommendation between the 43 and 26? This would be for concealed carry tho not pocket carry. Thank you.
Thanks for the comment! I absolutely loved my Glock 26 it was a amazing shooter and held 10 rounds without a extension. Personally due to thickness of it my 19 felt the same. The Glock 43 is just so slim I don’t know it’s there. If you decide to go with the 26 though I promise you will be happy.
@@Baystateoutdoors762 I appreciate that. No range where I live rents either of these, so my plan is to go to the shop and put both in my hands and see what feels best. Appreciate your response!
@@bobbyb7127 I ended up driving somewhere that rented both. The 26 was waaaaay easier to shoot. I outshot my CZ PCR on my first range visit with the 26! So I bought it. It’s turned out to be a bit chunky for regular carry (tho my Raven Vanguard 2 holster works great with a wedge I made from a yoga block). It’s sooo easy to shoot and can take G19 mags with an X-Grip as a backup. That being said, I’m also looking for a G42 (well, waiting for the wife to okay it) for deeper concealment. I have to tuck this behind my shirt, which I can do, but with effort. In the end, a 26 and a 42 are a great pair, and I’d recommend it. The 43 is just so unpleasant to shoot and requires that I have to regrip to keep a tight group going.
@@mlevy76 The shooting range I go to rents the 43 (and others) so I will have to try it first. l love the 26 but it's too fat for deep concealment which is what I'm wanting it for.
It is it’s just a fake video I was being funny. Big dot sites only the center of the front has tritium. If you hold a flashlight to it quickly or are out in the sun and enter dark around the tritium will temporarily glow. That’s the only reason it’s so bright.
