Want to hear thoughts on the Glock 43X

[DirectDrive]

I have a Dremel

Heat gun if it's Kydex.

Rent one first, the Glocks I have shot came with poor triggers, I mean they completely sucked.

I have and I loved the one I shot.

Do you like it more than your G19?

No I absolutely love my Glock 19. Just wanted it for the 10rd mags and easier to conceal. Before the 19 I had all three M&P's . One day I decided to rent the 19 just to see how I shot it. I shot it much better then I shot my M&P's. Not knocking the M&P's they are a fabulous handgun. I just shoot the Glock much better.

Why don't you buy 10 round mags for your G19?" If your concerned with staying within the law if 114 is put in place?

I'm thinking that very same thing. But I'd like the 43X or 48 for concealment if 114 goes down. Just have to find some permanent 10rd mags.

The Sig P365X Macro killed the 43X and 48.

Love my 19, love my 43x. IMO it feels thinner than the specs would seem to indicate for AIWB carry. The PMM barrel/comp helps with the snappyness. 15rd mags makes it a no brainer over the 19 for any IWB carry.
My 19 was machined for a red dot, so it's not in my "hidden" CC rotation anymore.

Tried the Sig and didn't not like how it felt in hand shooting or other wise.

Wife wanted a 43x after shooting one in her CCW class (and after shooting the G's we have in house already). Got hers, and damn, I really liked it. Another showed up here. Ours are 'stock as a box of rocks' with the exception of the Shield metal mag catch, and S15 mags. The guns have been 100% reliable with the Shield mags, and shoot great. What a nice, small CCW. Really like ours. Mine rides in a Crossbreed Mini Tuck, and after a little break in, it's very comfortable. Yes, they're a little 'brisk' at the range, but nothing that practice won't get around. Unless something is horribly wrong, I like to shoot new guns as is for a while, before making any changes. Sights are at the top of the list, maybe some trigger work. Maybe. Just not much else to be critical about, IMHO.

Totally not a Glock guy (SIGs and 1911s forever), but I do like the 43X. Worthy pistol.



I even go back and forth as to which I favor most, the SIG P-365 or the 43X.

I know what you mean. I prefer to carry the 365, but don't feel naked or undergunned with my 43X MOS which, being lighter is easier to carry all day long.

Yea… it's a 400.00 dollar handgun. The sig is double the price. Obviously more people are going to buy and carry the Glock.

Don't get me wrong. I love Glocks. Own multiple. Including a 43x and a 48. I'll take the sig any day. 17+1 rounds vs. 10+1 (or 15 with the shield arms mags that I threw in the trash). Optic ready. Compensated. Better trigger. Better iron sights.

But if I only had 400.00 dollars I'd buy the 48. It's a great reliable gun.

The MacroX also got released at the tail end of 2022. So your chart means nothing to me.

To say that it "killed" the G-43X is quite a stretch. Is the Sig a better gun? I think so, but Sig won't kill the 43-X this year or next or ever.
