Mar 7, 2021 · The 43X is my first of the slimmer Glocks and I assumed the longer 43X mags would fit the G43. I'm glad I found this was not an option before buying a G43. I don't like negative surprises. It bugs me that the G43 uses a 6 round only (Glock) magazine. I could live with it if the reload was higher capacity.

Mar 5, 2018 · Great sales figures (the G43 was the best selling model in 2016, according to someone at Glock), but it doesn't seem to have "dethroned" the Shield for sheer sales and popularity. Even though I repeatedly reviewed whether I should buy either a G42 or G43 - or both - before I turned in my ID/badge and lost my peace officer exemption to buy off ...

Feb 11, 2025 · G43 is a great option. Carried one for 7 years. Bought a G48 on a whim, then figured out I could conceal it nearly as well as the G43. So the G43 got replaced. Now, I've been carrying concealed since 99', and have gotten pretty good at. Been experimenting with holsters, belts, and cover garments for a long time.

Apr 26, 2024 · For better or worse, a Glock is a Glock is a Glock (well, except maybe the G44 ) and that's what brought me back to the G43. With a +1 extension and spring, I'm OK with rocking 7+1 for sure versus 10+1 for probably... and it's still a …

Jul 1, 2015 · I just picked up my G43 a few days ago and am waiting till after the holiday to go shooting. For my HK P30 I use Speer 124gr +P and it's a fine round. I was thinking to use something with less pop but still have significant performance. I also have 124gr NATO but that's more or less 124gr +P...

Sep 22, 2016 · I know what some will say. "The G43 is a pocket gun!" Or "The G43 is a BUG!" Possibly. But the G43 has great accuracy potential. And I use it as a primary in hot weather. The XS Big Dots allow me guaranteed head shots out to 15 yards, and consistent center-mass hits at 25 yards. I can live with that. The little pistol is capable of better, tho.

Sep 27, 2024 · That unmarked G43 connector turned out to be over the 5.5 pound estimate Glock advertised and Glock wanted to be the trigger pull. I think my trigger was ~6.5 pounds or more. Glock later released a minus connector (part #33564; marked with a "-" sign) which dropped the trigger pull weight down to ~5.5 pounds.

Jan 16, 2022 · The Glock 43 mag is a dead end. All of Glock's new subcompact releases are now based around the 43x style magazine. Glock should create a new model that has the same grip height as the 43 but with a slightly wider grip to accommodate the 43x mags. That should get you from 6 to hopefully 8 rounds in the mag with just a tiny increase in grip width.

Nov 26, 2024 · The G43 is one of my favorite Glock pistols and my EDC for the last 8 years. But I don't know if it is "the best Glock ever"... 🤔 IF GLOCK ever updates the G43 or makes a new variation of the G43X with shortened grip that comes with flush-fit 8 rounder mags and accepts the G43X/48's 10-rounder mag, then that would be "the best Glock ever" to me.

Feb 2, 2018 · I'm sure this has been contemplated by just about every Glock owner wanting a Sub-Compact Which one would you pick of the two G26 vs G43 I know the G43 is smaller, thinner, lighter in weight but the G26 fills the hand a bit better has extra ammo capacity & also the option to use G17, G18 & G19...
