Man I'm having a hard time with this one. First off, the gun is like $485 at most places when it's in stock. Secondly, every upgrade that you listed is an upgrade we all do on our 19s and 17s anyways. Red dots and flashlights being expensive is not a con when you're buying a gun specifically to put a red dot and flashlight on it. The reason you buy the MOS version is because you plan on dumping money into it. If it doesn't shoot well, fair enough. It probably shoots the same as the non MOS 43 and 43X (not sure if you hate those guns too). Talon grips are like $15 if the grip is that terrible, and if your gonna spend the money on a stipple job, its probably cause you were planning on it anyways. I'm just failing to see how this gun is any different than any other Glock as far as it's flaws.
Yep! Agree. Saying a whole lot of nothing like most RU-vidrs. People just don't have critical thinking (or listening) skills. You can get Talon or Fox grips for $15, A powerful mini Olight w/laser for $110 and TruGlow night sights for $60 (which are excellent sights!) I have all of these on my Glock. You can get great quality products at pretty cheap prices. Some people just want to spend a lot of money on certain brands because others do. And you can get Sig or Shield mini red dots for $199-$299 that work just fine, which I also have. People need to stop being so weak-minded and easily persuaded by RU-vidrs or anyone else and start using more critical thinking.
exactly, and really you dont HAVE to stiple it. put some talon grips on it for a few bucks. last video ill watch from this dude.

Apparently the Romeo Zero is among the optics that fit without an adapter plate. It has a nice profile. As usual with Glocks, mounting screws are an issue. If they're too long, they'll interfere with the slide's operation.
@Filip Mejstřík. People don’t know what kind of commentary they’re going to have when they click on videos from uploaders that they’ve never seen before
This guy reminds me of the guy that comes to by your car but then kicks tires for 20 minutes telling you all the things he’s gonna have to do to it to make it drivable. Plus he comes off as really whiny, just my opinion of course
Let the butthurt flown through you. One day you'll realize that Glock isn't always perfect and it takes large chunks of cash to make a stock Glock as good as some other stock offerings out there (CZ, HK, etc)
@@dilldowschwagginz2674 Ummm...there's plenty of people who work stock glocks just fine. Some people just don't deal with the ergonomics well and they should stick to other manufacturers. But my G19 Gen 5 is stock and I have taken to to competitions and my only complaints are the halfmoon cutouts which can be fixed with a dremel, and I don't have an optic. Other than that I like the trigger even compared to some other very nice guns that I have shot (I started with a P228 and a tricked out 1911 an instructor had at the range I would go to where they rented out guns). I also shot a P320, M&p 2.0, CZ when I was purchasing my G19 and I would say I was marginally more accurate with the CZ and the Sig and that was after not shooting for a couple years prior to gettibg my permit... Long story short is the Glock isn't the problem...if you put in the time to practice youd presentation you will probably do just fine especially at the distances that a self defense situation might happen inside of. The best part is the gun will work. I would like to get my hands on some other pistols but right now I am limited to my P365 and G19. Hopefully I can find something that fits what I am looking for that is also CT compliant soon.
I have the G43X mos with a Holosun 507k and S15 shield mags and I absolutely love it. I upgraded it with Tyrant Designs steel mag catch, slide stop and slide back plate, then slapped on some talon grips. I paid $450 for the G43X mos. $229 for the 507k. $80 for the mag catch, slide stop and slide back plate. $20 for the grips. $50 for CHPWS base plate. $60 for a Tulster oath holster. Well under a grand out the door for a fantastic carry gun and full package is IMO a great deal. Far from the $2,500 this guy is claiming. The trigger isn’t the best but it definitely isn’t the worst.....I do plan on upgrading it in the near future. This dude is just bitter that he overpaid for a G48 before the mos version dropped

He made some good points, but it took almost 6 minutes before he made the first one. That's how it goes with RU-vid videos, where most of what is said can be extracted into a couple a paragraphs that you could read and absorb in a few minutes. I've seen much worse, where the guy on camera not only didn't write a script -- he didn't even create an outline. That causes going in circles, beating to death insignificant points, going in circles, and meandering off the topic. Compared to that, this guy's not bad. At least he's personable, if you have time to spare.
Your dog looks you in the eye while he is pooping because he knows that he is at his most vulnerable point and he’s watching for you to alert him if danger arises.
Line up the sights of your dog, sike him on it about 4 or 5 rounds, when he drops finish him off with a round/dump on the head, while he’s watching you closely, giving you the eye, I love you, feed me, so I can poop some more.
The gun is worthy of your trust but those shield arms S15 magazines are unreliable junk imo. I just run OEM Glock mags in my G43x and I don't feel like I'm at a real disadvantage. You can get baseplate extensions for those mags too.
@@armorers_wrench nice, I have 2 gen 2 shield mags, I have about 500 rounds through each with zero issues. My 43x is my favorite EDC, im saving up to get the slide cut & add a RMRcc. What issues are people been having with the mags?
@@mattconklin4026 how much snappier is it compared to a glock 19 or 45? I'm trying to decide on a firearm and live in a 10+1 region so capacity is not much of an issue but shooting experience is very important to me since I am looking primarily for home defense and a distant second for a very occasional carry.
I’m about to get mine soon..the reason I chose the 43x over the 48x is because I used to carry a G19 and while I had no problems carrying it, was when I would bend down to grab something or tie my shoe lace or put on my shoes and that extra 0.5” inch would dig into my pelvic bone..I don’t have this issue with the P365 that I currently carry and will be passing it on to my girl when I get this 43x.
I love my 43x so much I literally just bought the 43x MOS today and ordered an XSC light for it. I’ll be giving my wife my old 43x. I use the shield arms magazines because 15 rounds in the same size magazine is amazing.
Just got the 43X. Because I wanted a minimalist carry gun (no light, no optic), the other stuff is on my 365X. Took it out to the range this weekend and I am blown away. The grip, size, trigger (yes the trigger is really good for a Glock), and capacity (with the S15 mags), make this the best carry handgun you can CC, in my opinion. I have carried a G26, G19, several revolvers, and the 365XL, which I honestly did not love….. we all know the 19 is the benchmark but can bet a little bit for some situations, the 43X or 43X MOS if you “think you need” all the extras to throw on your gun (please argue about carry pistol lights below), is a Glock 19 with a slightly thinner frame and shorter barrel, same capacity. Ideal.
@@CrimpKeeper you've watched too many negative youtube videos regarding this topic.... the answer to your question is because I bought the magazines and tested the gun with said magazines, all kinds of ammo, including expensive carry ammo. It works fine.
@@CrimpKeeper I can vouch for him on that man. I have the gen 3 Shield Arms and have put over 500 rounds in it and no jam. From 115 grain to 124 grain + P hst hollow point to 147-grain hollow point hst. That thing ate absolutely everything. Gotta clean ur gun and mags every range day if you shoot a lot or after 500 rounds for me! I would trust my life with it.
Interesting observation, earlier this year I have purchased a Glock 43X with Ameriglo night sights cost $445 before taxes and fees. Then I purchased a Sig P365XL and installed the Holosun HS507K and it changed my mindset about open reflex sights. Fast-forward to the beginning of August of this year and I picked up a Glock 43X MOS for $409 before taxes and fees and installed a Holosun HE507-GR for $277. I also installed a 3.5 connector cost was $24 along with added 3 Shield arms 15 round magazines. I agree with the trigger on stock Glock not being smooth. However the Double Diamond 3.5 connector made the trigger press smoother for a small price of $24. The aforementioned handguns are my off-duty concealed carry weapons, I also carry a Glock 42 since 2014. The Glock is a fine shooter for self defense. The 43X MOS is easy to conceal in beach attire compared to my full size 1911 I use to carry before 2014. I have a co-worker that owns a Staccato C that cost him $2,300 and I have shot it at the range many of times. I am considering buying one because it is a sweet shooting weapon as it should for the price of admission. I will still carry the Glock 43X MOS with the Holosun while off-duty.
Man that is a steal. That's cheaper than the standard 43x around me and I can't even find a 43x MOS in stock without paying absurd markups online. I am so envious of you.
The 43x is great. It is far superior for concealing in the waistband, especially if you have to sit down. I can't think of a reason to own anything between a 43x and a 17, anymore. 10 rounds is a lot more than 6 (the 43) and 7 (the SW shield). You can easily carry it with no belt and ulti clips. Im not sure why you think that you need to put an optic, light, and stipple on it. I don' know what you have planned for this gun, lol, it is perfect for its intended use. Having a full grip, when changing mags, makes it worth the upgrade (alone). Maybe you need a 43 if you are a small person, or a 19 with a 30 round mag if you are wearing some tactical pants and plan on running into battle, but then why not a 17? This gun is certainly not a miss, it is just the right tool for a situation that you don't think you will be in.
I agree with the guy that the gun has no grip texture but to say "you have to get it stippled" is so stupid. Just buy a $20 talon grip that unlike a stipple job can be replaced when it wears down--and stipples do wear down.
sig 365 and the xl version have all of those things out the box. The 365 made the 43x obsolete until the sheild arms mags came out. How long will glock people rely on the aftermarket?
Lol, the 43x is certainly not obsolete. Also, The aftermarket is an advantage . You can easily and quickly get anything you want for them, including holsters, blue guns and air-soft replicas, and even STL files-you can print them in your home if you want, along with the mags. So, to answer your question, never; the aftermarket support (and community) is the main selling point, right behind the record of reliability. You can choose to bash whatever guns you want to justify your purchases, but I like to appreciate them all for their intended uses and unique advantages. I hated Glock for a long time, back when I didn’t know much about firearms or how to shoot. Are you going to make me choose between Honda and Toyota, next? Or perhaps between cats and dogs?
@@ryanandrews8224 is that a serious question ? You kind of gave glock a comment without even mentioning it … they have the best aftermarket support and my fav is a 320 m18
Lol. Me too. I bought 2 when they first came out just because i wanted extra magazines and they were not available yet. My wife now carries the other one and I've bought plenty more magazines
@@Watchdog_McCoy_5.7x28 check out the shield arms mags. Takes them up to 15 or 20 rounds depending on which ones you get. Switch to the metal mag release.
If you add stippling, optics, a light, etc. you’ll have over a grand in this gun. Well no shit. You have over a g in a fuckin hi point if you did all that. Idek what your point is lol
I went all in on my 43x mos, currently 1300$ invested.I’m talking, shield arm mags, grips, 507k, suppressor sights, appendix holster. I actually sold my 48 to help with expenses. I’ve shot both back to back and there is a slight difference in recoil but for a summer edc it’s perfect. I’ve caught myself sometimes not wanting to carry because of printing and how uncomfortable carrying a bigger weapon can be. The 43x is by far the most comfortable pistol I’ve carried. If I wanted a longer slide, I would just Carry my g45, or cz p10c.
43x mos is an amazing gun. Paid 480 for mine. Added a streamlight tlr6, romeo zero red dot and stuck on some grip tape. All and all sub 800 bucks. Really don't know what the issue is here. Edit on the Romeo Zero because fuck that optic. I now run a Holosun 407k, much better option with actual real glass for a lens. So total cost is like 900 bucks now. Still no biggie.
@@RJ-li2xd there's this place called 911 Rapid Response in Annville, PA. They make most of their money off the police and first responder gear they sell, so they choose to make very little money on Glocks. As a matter or fact, Glock doesn't allow them to sell their product for any lower than they sell them. After tax and all I walked out the door having paid 525 dollars for the 43x mos.
@@RJ-li2xd I have 2 Gen2 ones. Haven't had any problems with them. I do need to eventually switch out the magazine release to a metal one. Stock plastic one will eventually wear out on a steel mag.
This dude is such a negative Nancy. I paid $475 for my 43x mos and did absolutely nothing to it. The pistol shoots like a dream out to 50 yards and carries very comfortably. No aftermarket sights, no optic and no light. After 10 years of concealed carrying everything from a milspec 1911 to tiny micro guns i discovered that the 43x is perfect EDC for me. Highly recommend
I think it's priced well. I paid 499 out the door for my 43x. Also if you're going most and buying a red dot, then why upgrade irons? The sights on it are serviceable as a backup. You'd have to spend all that money on those things for any other glock. I don't understand his argument really.
@@hilcup1ify Bought mine when they first came out. I've never had a failure with the shield mags but my training has slowed way down due to ammo prices.
The sig 365 is kind of shitty. I bought an XL and regretted it immediately (it does have really nice sights though). The P10S is the ultimate carry gun at this point for a full size man.
A. talon grips are $20 and great B. romeo 0 or holosun 407k is $200 C. why would you bother replacing the irons if you buy a red dot? stock are perfectly fine as backups D. you dont need a light on a carry gun but if you feel you do a tlr6 is more than enough and is $120. im not a glock fanboy. just stating facts.
Glocks are the Honda’s of the gun world. They run for life and have an obscene aftermarket to support every customization you could want. IMO they don’t add much to their design bc so many people want to do their own thing with them. In that sense it is indeed the “perfect” platform. For the record, I also really like the S&W 2.0 4 and 3.6” 😉😎💯🎄
I picked up my 43x mos today and took it to the range. It fired flawlessly and felt great to me. Well, it's a Glock so that's what I expected. All stock for now. Was easy to handle and of course spot on in the accuracy department. I love it! It's going to be my ccw so I wanted something small but not too small. I feel like I made a great choice. Can't really go wrong with a Glock! Reliability is paramount to me and if anyone says otherwise about it, they're lying!
I was a LEO firearms instructor back in the 70's, 80's and 90's. Mostly carried a Colt 1911, until the county bought us Glocks. I didn't want to switch but had to. Once I switched I was and still am a solid Glock guy. Just picked up a 43x MOS and love it for concealed carry. I chose the Romeo Zero to mount on it. The stock sights co-witness fairly well but could be a touch taller. I did have to shorten the Romeo Zero supplied mounting screws a touch with a small file.
I have a 48 and like it a lot. But when I tried my 43 slide on it- effectively turning it into a 43X- that slide stays on it most of the time. It draws faster for ME with the shorter slide, and feels noticeably lighter IWB carry. Simple Talon grips fix the grip perfectly for me. I did add a nice trigger and TruGlo sights, Shield Arms mags and catch, but it's a daily carry and shoots great for me. In fact, it's my favorite carry ever. And I just don't feel a need for MOS in a compact carry weapon- which is good because I'd feel pissed if I did...
43x mos with a Holosun 407k and a streamlight tlr-7sub and a holster plus some shield mags is like a grand at most. In fact i Just picked up a 43x mos for $475, a TLR-7 sub for $125, and a Holosun 407K for $175. Add a T1C axis elite holster for 150, some shield arms mags and a shield arms mag release and you’re at around a grand. For a complete setup with a decent optic, decent light, 15 round mags and a top tier concealed carry holster, that’s not too bad.
@@dgordon3632 that’s not what my dealer told me they were selling it for 799.99 and added the discount the store owner was a former county sheriff. And sells all of his Glocks mostly to LE and Vets.
I purchased the 48 as a slim alternative for the 19, for my girlfriend. It's a nice firearm. The 43X made no sense to me until Shield came out with the 15 round mag. But once that was out, the 43X became a good option. I'm still not sure it fits into the "micro-compact" category, but you won't find anything smaller that can hold 15+1. I prefer the 365 or 365XL, but have no problem carrying a stock 43X with the Shield mag.
The most profound comment in this entire video is that there are better people to listen to. I thought I was listening to a whiny 15 year old. I just wasted 17 minutes of my life that I won't be able to get back. On the bright side, I now know to skip over videos from 1911 syndicate.
None of these upgrades have to be done. I bought a set of night sights and I am good with that. The G43x MOS shoots great, carry’s great, and feels great. I’ve shot the G48 as well and did not notice a difference. They both shoot better than the Gen1 Shield 9 that I had. That’s been my experience at least.
so its bad because you bought a gun right when they dropped a new one with bells and whistles? then complains about the price of the gun and the best optic on the market being expensive- then dont buy the trijicon
I got my 43x mos for $577 put on a $300 sight on it put on a $150 light and got a stippled grip for $85 that’s $1112 a Glock 19 is around $599 depending on where you live and what store you buy from. And guess what chances are you are going to do each one of this upgrades as well. And I’ve never had a problem with my 43x mos never once had slide lock and I’ve put well over 1000 rounds thru it and it’s far more comfortable to carry than my 19 and my canik although my canik tp9 elite sc is my favorite concealed gun my 43x is definitely more comfortable and in my top 5 favorites.
Accessories are going to cost extra on any gun you chose to put them on, not just this gun. If you do want to get accessories, you can get Talon or Fox grips for $15, A powerful mini Olight w/laser for $110 and TruGlow night sights for $60 (which are excellent sights!) I have all of these on my Glock. You can get great quality products at pretty cheap prices. Some people just want to spend a lot of money on certain brands because others do. And you can get Sig or Shield mini red dots for $199-$299 that work just fine, which I also have. Nothing personal against this guy, but people need to stop being so weak-minded and easily persuaded by RU-vidrs or anyone else and start using more critical thinking.
But you don't have to replace the factory sights on a CZ P-10 or Sig X series (among several others). In order to get your Glock trigger to be anywhere near as nice as the CZ P series, you're going to have to spend a couple hundred more bucks. Is Glock bad? Absolutely not - I'm carrying one right now. But let's not pretend that they have it all figured out.
@@dilldowschwagginz2674 Don't know what your point was in relation to my initial response to this video, especially saying "let's not pretend Glock's got it all figured out." My point wasn't about defending any specific gun. I'm not a fanboy of ANYTHING. I could care less. Guns are just tools to me. Much of this guy's argument were simple fallacies and that's what I was pointing out. Just looking at many of the other comments, many people thought so as well. But it's the case regardless.
I never bother writing comments but damn... Lets see: 1) its expensive to mod a pistol and optics and lights are expensive (this doesn't mean anything for this model vs. another) 2) new models come out and one wishes one owned that model over their owned model Dude can't based on this video really run a gun as it is. I love the g43x, perfect carry gun especially with 15 rd mags. I don't have a womanly grip, and think the snap is not existent on this (especially coming from the too small g43). 43x and 48 have the exact same frame... same grip, same "slip and slide". Whatever floats your boat I guess.
I love my 43x. However, I did get the s15 mags and release. But I do feel what you're saying about the mos dropping later. But the 43x is my light carry option, so I don't want it to have a light or rds.
@@AFGixxeR88 Been training/shooting for 45 years...I've got red dots on 2 of my rifles and 1 on my m&p shield. I've been tempted to put one on my 43x but decided not too. A handgun is for close encounters, index pointing training is just as important as sights.
I have a Shield 1.0 with a KKM barrel, TT +2 base plates and night sights. My gun shop laser cut grip to balance it. Hit a chicken sized/shaped silhouette at 100 yards with 147gr ball ammo. If we ever get carry in Hawai’i that’s my carry gun or my P-10C
I just bought the 43X $435, and added the holisun 507 $245, and purchased the OT defense stipple kit for $200, and added the TLR7 light $225, a new tyrant trigger for $80, C&H adapter plate $77, and a mag well for $70. I didn’t warp my frame either and it was my stipple job. Disclaimer: I didn’t just open the stipple kit and start stippling. I had taken at least 2 weeks to try every bit in the kit on multiple pieces of plastic that I had in my kit, plus whatever I could find around my shop. I tried making designs, or combining tips to blend in tips over lays etc, just to see what it would be like. So, I recommend watching a lot of video’s first to get some direction, and then practice first. My stipple job came out exactly what I wanted and looks very nice, even when you turn the gun around. So, I did make an investment in this gun, and quite honestly it came to be what I expected. If anyone tells you that you have a good gun and it only costed you $400,…..it’s not that good! Trust me, you will do something to it. If you don’t want to spend the extra money, it’s not a bad gun at all for the money compared to the Hellcat or 365.
You know what’s funny? I carried a Glock with the stock sights for years and did competition with that gun. I shot a guy with that gun and the one thing I can tell you is I never saw the sights during that shooting.
You don't aim like you're at the shooting range in a confrontation. It's point n shoot at a close range. A gun is a tool...buy one, get familiar with it and stick with it.
Yea but just because it worked once doesn’t mean I’d risk my life to them. They do not work at night, and the biggest point is that they’re shitty plastic. If you drop you gun when the time comes you can sheer them straight off. If you’re in an actual gunfight with someone else shooting back who isn’t 5 feet away you’re going to want to aim. It’s a $70 upgrade, it’s not a big deal
@@americanmade3970 sometimes it is and sometimes it isn’t. Depends on your level of training, I know plenty of people who got to their sights in a gun fight. Also people who didn’t, there’s no hard fast rule. But I do know this, people who are against red dots for the sake of being stubborn and know it all, are people who have never had a red dot on their handgun. I can shoot the dime out of a bullseye at 25 all day with a RMR. I shoot better with it, so I’m going to use it. 10 years from now people are going to look at people talking shit on red dots on pistols the same as people who talk about running irons on rifles
The aggression is wooooow! I carry the non mos 43x with some night sights. Talon grips so you don’t have to stipple at all. It fits in my outer vest holster. The 48 doesn’t fit, that extra little length digs into my rib. I qualify with the 43x fine. My duty pistol is a Springfield trp. It has a lot of character marks but it’s the ultimate smoke wagon. I carry 79rounds on me. 8 round plus 1 in the gun and 7 10 rounders. Just my opinion sir. You do have a great channel.
I ran sig p229, p365, hellcat, kimber Micro9, lc9, and finally when the glock 43x came out hands down best concealed carry out of all of those i have big hands im 6.2. 230lbs and it feels as comfortable as my g17 when shooting since its the gun that I depend on saving me, my family, or any other random act a violance I made sure it handle and shoots just as good as my glock 17. First day I bought it I shot 500 rounds not one jam ftf or any shooting problems I stomped it, threw, shot it and 2 years later still carry it every day while pouring concrete setting forms driving, it goes where I go its a part of my every day items knife, wallet, keys, stack of cash, and now 43x my opinion only problems so far a the cheap sights front one is chewed up rear site is slid to the left I don't use them any ways I run it with hand eye and I hit center mass up to 15 or closer every shot running a gun corse sorry for long comment on your video but if someone is looking for information on this gun you went about it in a way that angerd me
That’s about what YTber Talon Sei sold his special 43x though Danger Close Armament for $1599 w/o optic & $1999 w/ Shield RMSc. I agree with someone else here that might as well get an STI/Staccato. But anything now is going to be ridiculous
"The gun is bad because if you buy a $600 optic it becomes more expensive." Good thing Glocks are the only pistols that need optics and lights right? Is he saying he can shoot at night with his Gucci 1911 without a flashlight??
I have 5k through the 43x and 1k thorough the 48. I honestly can’t tell a difference between the two when it comes to recoil. A good stippled job is absolutely necessary to run the gun to its full potential. And I don’t recommend the shield mags. Mine have been terrible.
The 43x and 48 services a market that is often neglected. It's a huge one too. Ban states like NY and countries like Canada. I used to live in NY and Glock is king despite 10 round limits. This is a great option without dealers having to dick around with special ordering a 19 with 10 round magazines or having to swap them out at the store. The 48 from what I was told was made to satisfy the barrel length requirements in Canada. A lot of people don't live in free states but still want a Glock and these take care of that market.
Longer barrels easier to conceal? Needing a top of the line light and red dot sight and professional stippling to shoot a sub-compact? Complaining about capacity while reviewing the smallest gun to hold 15 rounds of ammunition? Comparing it's performance to guns in a separate category rather than the likes of a Shield or a PPS? This was good for a laugh though, thanks ^^
My 43X MOS: 43X $485, RMRcc $413, adapter plate $70, Suppressor Height Sights $77, Streamlight TLR6 $119. Shopped for lowest prices online, except for the pistol. $1164. I’m carrying it now, but so far it’s a ‘meh’(need to shoot more). Finding holster was extremely hard.
I got a couple regular 43x’s that shoot pretty good. I bought them after my P365’s started destroying themselves... too bad I really like the 365, but I lost all faith in them. As it stands now I would take a G48MOS any day over the 43XMOS. And I would take the 365 XL over the regular 365.
i agree, p365xl is the one to rule them all, but why the 48 over the 43x? i think the 43x is nicer looking and a smaller package while retaining same size full grip for 15 round mags. felt a 48 at my lgs recently and it felt nice, just trying to see the real world benefit over a 43x
@@anonypersona3189 As I approached 500-600 rounds both my P365’s were showing greatly accelerated internal parts wear, striker/firing pins especially, and then the extractor stopped extracting on both of them. Could not get through a magazine without one or two failures. Too bad, really liked the pistol. In other words my experience is almost identical to the military arms channel.
@@brighthought11 The only real advantage the 43X has over the 48 is that conceals better for off body carry. From appendix you’ll never notice a difference. The longer sight radius and reduced recoil of the 48 are the two biggest advantages. That said... my EDC is a 43X, my wife also. I sold my old model G 48 in anticipation of getting a G 48 MOS, and now they are as scarce as hens teeth.
Ummm...tempted to be negative as it's so contagious. Actually bought one these after listening to this review. You know what? You were partly right. This thing takes some jingle to get it to the sweet spot we really seek. But then so did every battle Glock we've ever purchased. That's partly why we buy Glocks in the first place. We like to upgrade and improve on stuff. This is one of the best platforms I've ever researched and bought stuff for. Gonna carry it every day.
@@___meph___4547 as a back up to your 19 get the 43x mos but use the 20 round mag also there is another company that came out with glock compatible mags that has 23 rounds and it sits flush then the next one up from that is 26 rounds which would be like you using the SA 20 round mag.
Mine sits in a drawer. Once I switched to carrying appendix a full sized 17 or even 34 with an RMR and light is completely comfortable and concealable.
I love my G43Xmos. It shoots WELL, it’s comfortable to shoot, the grip is fine and I paid $499.00 for it brand new. I don’t know if I’ll ever put a red dot on it but if I want to I CAN and that’s the point; I may never put a light on it but if I want to I CAN and that’s the point. Also, I lined the G43Xmos up side by side against the P365, Hellcat, Kimber Mako and others and I must say the Glock trigger is MUCH better than any of them. Not a great trigger but better than all of them (and that’s just MY opinion). And when I found out I could get the Shield Arms S15 mag and add 50% more rounds without lengthening the grip I was sold. So if you like a gun without options more power to you. I like options and I’d buy it again in a heartbeat. High 5 to Glock for the G43Xmos! By the way, you want a Glock that’s a little hard to hang on to? Try a G20 in 10mm with hard cast loads. That was my first Glock and I love it. It’s my woods gun and it shoots WELL too!
i agree with your rant, i bought a regular 43X in a grey polymer color and paid a little extra for it since it was popular lol. now i see this 43X with the rail that it shouldve came like it did in the EUROPE from the BEGINNING. i was this close to selling mine to buy the gen 2 43X and swap over my trigger , s15 mags, mag release , sights, well i saw a youtube video where the plmini2 doesnt even fit the rail on the gen 2 43X!!! so i went ahead and bought the recover tactical GR43 light rail adapter and bought the pl mini 2, they fit great and i love it. no longer upset about the gen 2 being out since companies have to develop a light for the gen 2, what a joke lol PS for those of you who wants the gr43 adapter with the pl mini 2 light i know there are barely any holsters out there, tauxton tactical makes a really nice one for reasonable price, check em out. im gonna order from them
I dont understand your argument. You say it's an expensive gun when you add a light and rmr, and then compare it it to your 1911 without a light or rmr

He's saying that, in order to make the G43x MOS a decent carry pistol, you have to spend big bucks. Most other guns in its price class at least come with decent sights, often tritium sights. Compare a small Glock with a P365.

He may also be unaware of cheaper accessories (such as lights) that would fit the G43x MOS's non-standard rail.
Gun- $580 Holosun 507k- $300 C&H mounting plate- $70 Stock trigger polish- $0 Stippling- $200 That's $1150 to have a perfectly workable and reliable carry gun with an optic which is not bad considering that you could go without the stippling if budget is an issue and then you're under $1000. If you want back up iron sights add another $100 but again not absolutely necessary. You were trying way too hard to inflate your build cost just to make a nonexistent point. It's also still priced competitively against other similar pistols on the market. If you don't like the way it shoots that is a different story and I agree the 48 is the way to go but your whole rant on price was just ridiculous.
Just picked this up... I am smart enough to wait at least a year after Glock releases something. Got a 43X MOS ($475) in store. Added a TLR-7 (69400) light for $135 and a Holosun HS407K-X2 for $225 and a titanium adapter plate for $25. I always keep my mags, triggers, etc. factory stock on my CCWs for legal reasons. I now have a fully setup, 100% reliable EDC for about $875. Can you go cheaper? Sure. But it won't be as good.
Thanks for the honest review. I almost went bought one. I built out a sig 365xl and just like you said total cost:$2800. I think ill just buy the staccato 2011 ♠
Long time Glock Fan boy. In the last week I bought 6 Sigs. Glock sucks at this point. I sold my 43x along with shield mags and GLADLY bought the P365XL with Romeo from the factory for 740 out the door
First the drop safety issues Sig had then all the p365 having quality control issues and still having firing pins breaking? Yeah not interested in Sigs at all. Don't remember hearing about that happening with Glock.
The commercials say that a Snickers bar might help with that anger issue. But, if your actual intent was to get a LOTS and LOTS of comments that disagree with you... then you succeeded phenomenally! 🤣 Add mine to the list. True, it wasn't love at first sight... but I really like mine now. I initially thought I would go back to my other carry guns after the novelty wore off, but I can't. Then the PSA micro (43X) 15 round mags came out. It is settled. I like this thing!
Lol the 48 has the same frame as the 43X. But the 43X frame is too slippery? 🤣 K. Also, they don't really shoot very different at all if you ask me. That extra 1/2 inch doesn't really make a huge difference. I don't really get the capacity argument. Obviously it's nice to have more, but it's easier to carry than the 26, which I carried for years. Doesn't feel as blocky. Conceals roughly the same. The shield magazine is an impressive improvement, but I typically carry a couple extra magazines regardless of what gun I'm carrying. So I'm usually carrying more ammo than most people who have the shield arms magazine anyway, with the added benefit of diversified reliability. I think 10+1 is a reasonable capacity.
