How do you guys like your 43Xs? I’ve been looking at a 43X MOS for a little, just figured I’d pick your brains a little about owning/shooting/carrying one.

GuestMay 16, 2021 at 8:37 pmThe 43x MOS is difficult to fully set up for a EDC if you want to mount a light (tlr 7 sub is finally out and sort of available). Just not a lot of holsters out yet. I’ve been waiting for the Holosun 407k x2 for 5 months, and those are finally available. Still haven’t found a good holster to bring it all together.

GuestMay 16, 2021 at 8:37 pmHate it. Carry the 19 and if I’m looking for something smaller I carry a 26.

GuestMay 16, 2021 at 8:37 pmIt’s a nice “light carry” gun in my rotation. I alternate between the 43x and 48 depending on my mood, but for really hot days (Texas) in shorts it’s 43x. It’s just a lighter load to carry.
As far as shooting goes, the 48 is more balanced and less snappy. You can definitely feel the barrel length difference.
In short, it’s a good small carry gun, with improvements it’s even better, but be aware it has more snap to it than a bigger frame gun.

GuestMay 16, 2021 at 8:37 pmBest ccw gun I’ve ever owned. Might want to look into the 48 if you want something a little less snappy(it’s not bad). You could always grab a 43x and then later get a factory or upgrade to a more Gucci slide for a 48 and bam, you’ve got a Glock 48 too.

GuestMay 16, 2021 at 8:37 pm43x all day with a Tier one holster. Even in road trips I forgot I’m wearing it. I don’t it’s as snappy as everyone is saying, plus you get the same amount of rounds as a 19 with the shield arms steelies.

GuestMay 16, 2021 at 8:37 pmLove mine. I think its unbeatable for a size and capacity considering you get the s15 mags

GuestMay 16, 2021 at 8:37 pmThe 48 is superior to the 43x. Conceals better, much less snappy because of the extra slide length, and better sight radius. There’s no reason to get a 43x over a 48.
