My personal S15 tests were done last weekend, and passed with flying colors. With 15+1, this is my EDC starting 3 days ago.

S15 magazine just made this my next purchase

Glock 19x is my home gun Glock 43x is my carry gun. Love then both, and I used to hate Glock untill I got these glocks.

Went to Cabela's the other day and saw one in their display case and asked to see it. It definitely feels amazing in the hand. Not too big, not too small.

Got mine today, you are absolutely right about picking it up, hell I had to go as far as shooting it but then fell in love.

Unbelievable shooting gun. I tried the Hellcat, M&P Sheild, 2.0, P365, and others. This gun is the best feel, lowest kick and the mags are the easiest to load also. My hand fits comfortably and my fingers are not left with nowhere to go. I truly understand the Glock difference this, 43X IS THE ONE!

I love my G43X. It has replaced my G26 for edc. It is second to my G19X in shootability.

You made some great points! Thanks :)

Just changed to a 43x for EDC. I did add a Hogue grip sleeve that give a lot more comfort when shooting. This firearm exceeds my expectations by leaps and bounds.

I love the thinness i think 1911 guys will like this model since the thinness profile very nice one

FYI, Shield Arms will be releasing a 15rnd FLUSH FIT magazine this summer for $40 that will work with the 43x and 48. This gun will become the perfect marriage of a 19 and a 43.

I really like my 43x. My biggest gripe is the stupid scalloped trigger. A short range trip left my trigger finger sore. Easy enough to fix with a flat trigger from Johnny Glock for under $30 shipped. Plus, the new trigger allows you to reduce just about all of the take up if you want. For a CCW, I left a little take up in the trigger but not much.

I agree. I love my 43x. Can't wait for the Shield Arms 15rd metal mag for it to be released.

Same: G19 gen5 = EDC, I now own a 43x. Love this thing. Holster arrives Monday. I wear a belly band on my bike. Kydex for everything else.

Just picked one up. Absolutely fell in love with it as soon as I held it. Perfect carry pistol IMO.

I just put my first 200 rounds through my g43x. It's my first Glock. I'm in freaking love. After my first 2 mags getting used to it i feel like i could drive nails with it at 15 yards. That's with stock sights. Which i honestly don't find to be that bad. ?... Maybe i just don't know what better sights are but for me it didn't seem to matter. My S15 mags come tomorrow. I can't wait for those. I think it's going to be my EDC for a lot of years. Nice vid! BTW mine has the black factory slide....

I have many pistols and my favorite in all aspects is my old G 36, it's been my sidekick since they released it.

Held my buddies a month or so ago and knew I had to get one. Just picked it up today 😎 My current EDC is a G19

Thank you for taking the time and making the effort to create a great video.

I carry the G48. The nearly 1/4 of an inch difference in width, makes a significant difference when carrying IWB. That, plus being able to get a full grip on it, is excellent. I may still get a 43x at some point though.

Yes I plan on getting one of these. I need the grip length with arthritis having a full grip makes all the difference. I carry a shield now and only use the eight round mags. But this pistol should have been out before the 43. Feels way better in the hand than the 43 even with the mag extension. Nice review I believe once you carry this a few times you'll like it better than the nineteen.

I have two Shield Arms mags. 15 rounds and no added length. Makes a great EDC! Grip is fixed with Talon Grips. Ameri Glo sights as well

Glad to see more videos coming out. You've definitely go one of the best KZfaq gun channels out there.

Here in CT, the 43x makes a very good choice for carry. Rather than being a true sub-compact, it's a compact with the 'wasted space' taken out of it since we're limited to 10-rds in the mag. Hit's a nice sweet spot in terms of smallness and shoot ability. I originally smirked at the idea but after picking one up and handling, I think it's a really good rendition. Just wish they'd make it with a black slide as I hate that color combination.

Bought after holding it in store, shopping for G19. My first Glock purchase has become my go to gun in my continuIng search for the perfect conceal carry. My search is over.

Just ordered my 4 15 rd mags from shield ! So stoked

You right! I didn’t “GET” this pistol till I put one in my hand at a local dealer.... then is was 💰💰💰

43x is my go to. 42 for that ultra light summer carry.

I agree with you about the grip texture being way too mild. I will be putting a Talon grip on mine when they start shipping their new texture one in February. As for sights, I bought one with Glock night sights.

I was on the fence about the 43X and 48 at first, but have since grown to really like them. Great review!

Thank you, live in ct & this is much liter to carry then my m2 walther which is the same size as the 19 great vid & you get it .why glock made this gun.

Damn i changed my mind in this completely. The feel in the hand sold me. I bought one on Saturday it will be my running mate. Yep it is slippery so stippling and maybe a comp are in the future and like u said then it might be the perfect glock.

I didn't get the gun at first either - then I came to realize everything that you'd already said + the fact that if you do want an easier to conceal bandgun, I just feel like this does very well in filling that role - while not as small as the 365, it's a little easier to unholster quickly and get a better grip on it. I also replaced the sights w truglow sights & added a light. I actually like the stippling for being comfortable to wear

Thanks for the vid: I really love your channel. :-)

You no longer have to give up 5 rounds. TFB gave a great review to a 15 round mag for this pistol. Imho v2 of the G43x should have a rail

My dad walked into his LGS and put his hands on one and REALLY liked it. Then he went home and talked himself out of it and just put some SI EMP +2’s on his G43 mags. It’s not for concealed carry (thanks MD) so he’s ok with 8+1 for range time. But he basically said the extended mag bases had the same affect of making it feel better in hand. I haven’t held a G43X so I’m interested in your thoughts on this T&B. He did take the extra $ and buy ammo so I’m happy with his choice haha.

I got a 48 recently that has the honeycomb stipple job. Swapped slides with my 43. Now the 43X I have feels better in the hand than almost any handgun I have ever handled. And it is more comfortable to shoot than any 9mm that I have shot. More comfortable than CZ Shadow 2, more comfortable than Staccato C2. It is mind bogglingly comfortable.

Recently purchased the G43X and added some Talon grips, and it is now one of my favorite carry guns, rotating it with my original Shield. Both pistols replaced my original carry gun, which was a P2000sk, which I carried for years but found to be a tad on the heavy side. Nice vid...

I totally know what you mean on glock sights.

Mine G43X in every way like most my Glocks works and functions great but this one does shoot a bit left like many other G43 I have heard about how about yours ?

I have a 43x I put talon rubber grips on it .Feels great no issues I have them on all my guns

You’re the only online reviewer to critique the problem I’ve had with Glock stock sights. You can’t see all of the ball when when the tops of the front and rear sights are level with each other. Sad to hear it wasn’t just a G17 Gen 3 problem, and we still have it 2 generations later.

You are absolutely right on the printing. To many people worrying about it.

Love my g43/ G42 as well. What I need from Glock is a 10oz 32acp!

Love your reviews, thank you.

Love my G43X, even more now that I just picked up my Shield Arms 15 round mag. My G19 sits in the safe. The G43X is lighter, slimmer and much more comfortable to carry. Great gun!

The new Shield Arms mags make a great case for this and the 48, but I still carry my 19 Gen 5. I really like it.

Just got my G43X. Like every other Glock I immediately changed the sights for night sights and it is now a great gun. I was carrying the G26 but with an extended mag so I had a pinky finger rest. I think the G43X is about the perfect size for my hands. Fingers fit on the grip. took it to the range today and it shoots great. I plan for it to replace my G26 as a summer carry. Cooler weather when I can wear jeans I will carry G19. My 26 is now a second house gun as I can use the larger mags in it and it is still comfortable to shoot. I am really surprised how much lighter it feels in the holster, I was not expecting so much of a difference compared to the 26.

Hello Twang, I have a question on a older video of yours. you talk about a Zero Tolerance of a .22lr savage with a Pinned Barrel. How is that Done? I can see a Threaded Barrel

Great video. I will be picking one up soon

Best 43x review ive seen. And I'm pretty sure ive seen them all! 😆

Cameron, did you get some S15 mags for this and has that changed your outlook on it vs the G19 for EDC?

love my G 43x with Shield Arms S15 mag. Sold my G19 and got my 43x the day my 15 round mags was delivered. Now my main carry pistols are the 43 and the 43x! 43x is a true Swiss army knife of a pistol!

I have a G48 and I'm getting the G43X for my wife soon, both with the S15 Mag 😎👌🏼

I just bought the G43X today, I'm going to put talon grips on it, ameriglo tritium I-dot sights, streamlight TRL-6 laser/light combo and S15 15rd mags from shieldarms.com for the perfect EDC.

Did you get the 15 rd flush mag that will be your new edc mine perfect for my state CT ten round limit

It’s a Kahr CW9 with a Glock trigger. I love them both.

I don't know what it is but I totally agree with this. I've had plenty of medium to full size Glocks but when I saw this in the store it was love at first sight. Then when I held it, the thing was perfect. I bought it for my wife for Christmas and I couldn't put it down so I bought one for myself. I pick it up more often than my Dan Wesson specialist commander. Every time I pick it up I try to see how fast I can field strip it and put it back together. I am addicted to this pistol!

Ill be picking one up this weekend. Ill check the sights and do a target test. Im curious.

I was a good 15 years old watching twang and bang arrowhead reviews, I’m now a 23 year old gun owner now watching him review guns ❤️

Shield Arms sells 15 round mags for this gun. I'm going to also order the metal mag release since the mags are steel. You're excitement is legit. I absolutely love this pistol. I ordered mine with night sights and a black slide. I'm not into silver.

I'm not a runner but when wearing gym shorts I carry a Kel-Tec P-32. At less than 10-ounces loaded with 7 rounds of 32 you can barely feel it in the pocket.

I held this compared to,the Springfield xds mod 2.. have to say in MY hands the glock felt better.. so that’s probably what I’m going to get

Glock Tards Rule! Another Brother comes to the DarkSide. LOL!!!

Just got a 43x burnt bronze and ordered some s15 mags. Can’t wait to get the mags in.

Just got the all black 43x but I'm not happy with the plastic sights but I love LOVE the gun.... It conceals very well. Had it for a week now. Not heavy to carry at all.

Question, whats the best lights to use for G43x? Is something bright available in case its used for home defense?

Finally, someone addressing the awful sites. I thought I was a decent shoot until I picked up the G 43x. Time to look for aftermarket sites

Got mine a few days ago, love the feel in my hand.

Probably, going to be my next carry pistol and my first Glock ever!!

I have a 43X what brand of sight would you buy to improve accuracy?

G43X with talon grips and S15 mags... oh my lord it's amazing. With the talon grips it feels like my hand was made for the gun haha

Living in a Hot State, appendix carrying the 43x MOS has been my go too. Only upgrades done have been new sights, added a magwell & a TLR7 light. Also have PSA Mags for 15 rounds. But I always carry OEM. Train & practice with 10 rounds & always be aware of my surroundings. Awareness should always be your 1st weapon of choice.

Have you tried the Shield Arms 15rd mags? Game changer!!!!

Love my g43x.... especially with the SArms 15 flush mag...a game changer!

I stick with my G17 (Gen4 Frame- Gen3 Slide/Upper), as the most accurate & reliable glock for me, Accuracy & Reliability are the key factors which minimize innocent victims during stressful defense situation, and with a proper IWB holster that fits my body, it is pretty much concealable for my EDC, just my 2 cents.

It's the best for concealed carry but I wouldn't prefer it over something larger for an open carry scenario.

have you switched to 43x now that the S15 magazines are available?

I’m a fan of the aggressive texturing on the 2.0 Shield.

Looking for a first pistol purchase. Mainly would use keeping in the truck and carrying on “off the map/trail” hikes. Potential to run into cougar/bear. I’ve got medium to large hands. Just trying to figure out would I want to conceal carry at some point and what glock would not allow me to do that comfortably. Glock 19/Glock 43x/Glock 17 are on my list so far. Looking for more support in a given direction, thank you!

I've had mine for about a year. I couldn't be happier. I personally prefer it's grip texture over my gen 4 or gen 5 glocks.

Bought my first firearm this year. M&P 9 2.0C. What a lovely gun. And my son's M&P Shield is just about as good. Shot my friend's Glocks. They just don't feel as good. So with many rounds down range and the finalizing of my LTC, it's time for my first EDC. After handling and trigger testing Sig, Springfield, Glock 43x, and the magnificent M&P Shield...I ordered the 43x. It didn't feel as good as the Shield to me, but it felt pretty good. The bigger grip, narrow stature, and larger capacity sold me. Especially knowing that there is an aftermarket 15-round mag that is still flush with the mag well. The bad sights weren't an issue as I ordered night sights anyway. I really didn't think I would ever be a Glock owner. But here I am.

Love my 43X ... I like the stock trigger but changed the sights immediately ... The 43X is my EDC

I put Ameriglo sights on my 43x

I was looking at a Sig 365 and the day I was going to purchase it , from a local gun shop, he showed me a 43x. Wow it fit perfectly in my hand.

What method do you use to carry your EDC when Running?

I am thinking about getting G 43 X from G45. Any advice?

Would like to see your take on the Shadow Systems MR918.

I actually really like the Gen 5 triggers real crisp break and short reset.

This is the only gun guy i watch on yt.

It does feel super good in your hand went in for a 26 left with a 43x

for printing i wear an eyeglass soft case with a carry string around my neck with a long slim flashlight hanging on it. Its small and lightweight but people generally are looking at my glass case and hardly look toward my hip. I carry between 2:30 and 3:00.

You live in a beautiful place. I just saw this video and I don't know where you live but I like it.

Check out Talon grip. It’s definitely a game changer when it comes to a cheap way to making the handle a lot better. It’s a molded grip tape. I’ve got it on my G-19 gen 5. It made it so much more nice to hold and fire as well.

It's a sweet gun for sure love my 43x s15s can't beat it for the bargain your getting glock reliability and accuracy world class best of the best.

1 year later. Purchased a 43 with 10 round extension. Couldnt live with my pinking hanging out and the 10 round mag defeated the purpose of the design. Picked up a 43x recently after SA finally released their 15 round mag. Current setup is TFX Pro sights, Talon applied grip, Pryamid trigger and match grade threaded barrel that adds about an inch in length over all. Threw a LaserMax slide spring laser on because I could. The trigger allows for faster smoother pulls. In the end I am shooting 4 inch groups at 10 yards as fast as I can pull the trigger. Granted I am an excellent shot to begin with and this is with top tier ammo ( Gold dot) but this gun shows my weakness and not any on its end. The only down side is with the mags. They didnt have any of the coated in stock and the ones I got do not eject on their own when the clip is empty. The only thing I can think of as to why you might carry something different is if you wanted to carry a different caliber. Otherwise I dont think it gets better than this.

I carry a G43 w/a +3 from Taran Tactical and added some better grips so it’s perfect for my smaller hands. My G19 is my home defense gun and I’ve loved that one for a few years now.

Great video thank you 👏🏻

I love mine. I have the black ops edition. Also I have grip tape on it. Feels perfect.
