My wife carries one with a Lasermax Gripsense light/green laser and loves it. She shoots it really well, no recoil issues at all. Her lady baby wrists got some steel in 'em!

Berettas ROCKI like Berettas, too!
I also had one and sold it. It did sting a little, which I don't mind in a range gun, but I did not see any advantage over the Glock 19 for personal protection. Especially since its the grip that prints the most.Hey, I bought the 43x and my daily carry and it was almost an instant regret. I feel like it's too snappy for my taste
The Glock 19 is faster and more accurate than the 43x. And the Glock 17 is even better. Agreed on both points.Just carry the 19…. Or even better, buy a 17 and carry that.
I'd pass on the 43x. If one is buying it strictly for "114" cause they want to obey a mag restriction (to each their own) I'd go with the 48 over the 43x.I also had one and sold it.

Im not so certain because were the only mag ban state thats included mags that can be "readily modified".Regarding magazines, if 114 stands you can count on all the.major manufacturers coming out with compliant 10-round magazines in short order.
Or cuck? Just playing. Glock aren't known for great triggers. Could def be better.Sounds like someone has lady-baby trigger fingers….
Maybe you were shooting a knockoff version called "Gluck"?
I'll have to respectfully disagree with @Koda.if your buying if because of the pending mag ban, note any glock mag that can be extended falls under the ban.
Or just carry the 15 round mags….. nothing has even been decided on this joke of a bill yet.Owning both a 19 and a 43X, my opinion is that it's not enough difference between the two to justify buying the 43X. Just buy a few G19 ten round mags and stay with your G19. The 43X is slimmer and a little lighter so it's snappy. Also you'll need to add new holster and mag carriers. I'm a hoarder myself so I had to have both but if you're not or it may be a financial strain, stick with what ya got.

Just a little push back here ...I like my G48 and prefer the longer slide.
As far as Glock triggers......I think people that complain haven't shot much. 5.5lb trigger pull is quite "competitive" with other striker fired guns. If one is trying to compare a Glock trigger to a nice 1911 it's not an apples to apples comparison.
I replaced one trigger and I regret it. As far as others, I agree that there are some good striker pulls out there for sure. I guess to me a stock Glock isn't as "bad" as people complain about. I've felt plenty of worse triggers but Glock certainly isn't amazing. I think it's just one more complaint on the Glock list of complaints that's exaggerated. Because it's Glock.Just a little push back here ...
A good trigger is so much more than total weight. Crisp versus mushy, total pull distance (both to the wall and after the wall to break), gritty or smooth, reset distance and crispness, weight increase curve (does it increase linearly or stack) ... etc.
I don't know too many who have "shot much" and who have Glocks who have NOT replaced the OEM trigger. Like Glock sights, the crew I hang around with (and have over the years) pretty much consider Glock triggers and sights as simply "place holders" until something better can be installed.
I agree a comparison to a 1911 is not a fair comparison, but compare a Glock trigger to a CZ P10, any striker fired Walther, a box stock SIg, and FN etc. etc. and you will find most find the other triggers much better overall. From my experience, even a S&W or Springfield Armory trigger beat out a Glock.
But that's just me!
An after saying all the above ... the only two Glocks I still own have OEM triggers ... so what does that mean? <GRIN>
... other than I rarely shoot them I guess!
Cheers!
I have a DremelThe 43x will not fit a lot of 43 holsters, because of the rail.
I would reads that as a mag that had a plug installed, limiting it to 10 rounds (or less), but that plug could be easily removed to allow full capacity of the mag.The way I read the text it said it banned any magazine that was "readily available" to accept over 10 rounds.
