Want to hear thoughts on the Glock 43X

[NU9MM]

I've never liked any Glock I've ever shot, but I really liked the g43x! Recoil isn't for a new shooter, but someone who is moderately experienced should have no issue. I found it returned onto target really well.

If/when I return to carrying a striker-fired pistol, it will be the one I carry.

The 43X is definitely my next purchase.

Ok silly question. Same slide different frame.

One is a MOS which allows for the light. The other is a standard 43X/48 frame.

Boy the top 43X is gosh darn fancy!

The way I read the text it said it banned any magazine that was "readily available" to accept over 10 rounds.

If that means via an extension, isn't that nearly every mag made?

Well went and bought the 43X today.

Standard or MOS?

Standard. It was a used one. I save myself about 60 bucks. I bought it from northwest armory there in Milwaukie Oregon. I loved the way M&P shield fit my hand, but I think I like the way the Glock 43X fits me even better.

Nice. Hopefully you enjoy it! They are great guns. I don't think you can beat them in regards to a "subcompact" single stack pistol.

Well I rented one a while ago at an indoor shooting range. And shot it so much better than I did my M&P Shield. And maybe it's due to the difference in triggers. I just like the trigger reset much better on both the 19 and 43X. I know the Glock triggers are the cream of the crop. I just prefer them. I was a long time M&P guy. But after shooting the 19 and 43X I switched. Today is the first time I've ever had to wait to take the gun home. Also looking for opinions on a Ulticlip IWB holster for my 43X. Thought about the Bravo Concealment OWB and mag pouch.

Just want to thank y'all for the positive feedback on the Glock 43X.

Find a IWB holster you like and then just buy an UltiClip and swap it out with the one that comes on the holster you pick out.

As far as holsters go I normally stick with Tenicor or Trex Arms.

Thank you!

I may have an ulticlip you can have actually. I'll have to check. If you want it.

Sure. I greatly appreciate it. I'm a bit on the porky side so I like to wear very loose fitting sweats and stuff so the Ulticlip would be perfect. I first saw them when John Lovell was advertising for the Tier 1 holsters.

Which defensive ammo do all like for your 43X. I have HST and Hornady 124 and some +P I believe.

 

[Member 53328]

I run spear gold dot. Either 124 or 147

 

[rscanady]

Federal HST here too, with the occasional critical defense scattered in there.
