I made the mistake of purchasing a 43X first than realized I should have gotten the MOS version. Long story short, I am now the proud owner of both a 43X and 43X MOS Glock. You never can have too many Glocks

That happens… I guess the good news is they share mags w the g48 so if u ever want another gun with a 1/2 longer barrel the 48 could be an option?! 😂

Bought my 43X MOS a few months back, and absolutely love it. Never thought another Glock would replace my G26 for EDC. The hit the jackpot with the 43x mos. Unless Glock makes magic again, this will be my EDC firearms for a long time.

I definitely try to talk to the new Handgun community. It is very complicated for a newer firearm owners, so I try to make simplistic videos with just enough information that it isn’t too complicated. The same less is more is definitely what I tried to provide so that those who watch the channel can understand what I am saying. My channel is definitely not geared towards those who have years of firearm experience or shoot competitively but brand new shooters is my goal target

@SmallArmsPistolAcademy 3 ай бұрын

@@nOObels1 so I honestly like the 2moa dot w 32 moa circle That is my favorite bc a 2 moa dot at 10 years target is about .2 inches but a 32 moa circle at 10 yards is about 3.2 inches. So in close quarters that big circle is going to be easy to put on a threat imo. For perfect accuracy argument, it’s a pistol and not the right pistol for competitive bullseye competition so I throw that argument out the window .

EPS Carry is designed for Glock specifically. Carry uses the “shield” footprint while a 507c uses RMR footprint. They also have direct mounted optics for other manufactures, but it would be a different version optic

Your welcome bud. And yes the diamondback was a good little back up. They make the smallest 9mm there is. Good little 6 round back up. I had the Gen 1 of it. But if you’re curious or interested. May have to check out the diamondback DB9 4th Gen. around $250 new or so.

@@SmallArmsPistolAcademyHell yeah be a good buy. And makes the perfect pocket pistol or ankle gun. I carried mine on my ankle as a back up for over 10 years. Carry it in the pocket when would go to church or the gym etc. 6 rounds is better than no rounds. One of the good things with diamondback is they have a lifetime warranty and they’re American made. Also all 4 gen’s of their mags work in all generations of the DB9.

Quick question. Without the MOS version is there anyway I can put a red dot sight on the 43x. Without having the slide milled out.

@SmallArmsPistolAcademy 10 ай бұрын

Absolutely! The reason I love shotgun v pistol for home defense is actually bc here in nys we have the right to retreat law. DISCLAIMER: I am not an attorney nor police officer so this is in no means legal advice! Although I could “protect my castle” if I can retreat safely I should do that first. Using a shotgun and aiming in the pitch dark at my bedroom doorway or securing the hallway gives me an increased chance of hitting my attacker instead of a single projectile from a pistol.

I got the G43X because I'm not looking for trouble, once you start adding optics and lights you should just get a full sized pistol. The G43X is meant to be a simple conceal carry defensive pistol.

Well the g43x mos is meant for an optic n I do agree, I run a full size zev oz9 w optic n light for my edc. Biggest reason is where the holster hits me for aiwb on smaller guns is uncomfortable so I carry full slide guns bc I truly find it more comfortable
