Glock 43X
Just perfect for me. Smaller full grip (no pinky extension needed), 10+1 capacity...your usual Glock internals, I did notice the Firing Pin Safety has been redesigned and is 'angled/ramped' on the bottom, makes for a better trigger pull IMO, forward trigger travel to reset seems shorter, ambi mag release, front of slide and grip are beveled, front and rear slide serrations, new-style Marksman Barrel, also a different Slide Stop, some kind of spring setup on this one rather than the wire/spring on the fullsized models, haven't had a chance to tear it down yet...16.4 oz empty w/o mag...

Re: Glock 43X
I'm not a glock fan but a friend of mine just got 1 last week and I was impressed again (saw it at SHOT). For what it is for the price, it's hard to beat.

Re: Glock 43X
It is a modern Sig P225 and a great carry gun. I am really stuck between this and the Sig P365.

Re: Glock 43X
Can’t go wrong with at least one of the Austrian wonder pistols in the arsenal, I’m thinking about the 43 as a carry option.

Re: Glock 43X
I was looking at the 365 as well...they're very close in many dimensions, although the Glock has a longer barrel and a longer overall length...I think the Sig is a just a bit heavier...I went with the 43X for parts availability...and the Glock mags are much less expensive...laabstract wrote: ↑June 22nd, 2019, 10:25 am It is a modern Sig P225 and a great carry gun.

Re: Glock 43X
They are absolutely slick guns as a sub gun. I'd definitely like to get to compare it to the Dog in actually shooting.

Re: Glock 43X
The 43 just disappears in an IWB carry. It’s so thin. I’m a pretty thin dude and I can appendix or IWB under a loose t-shirt no problem.

Most may already know, but I’ll throw this in...the blue label pricing is extended to vets from Memorial Day thru Veterans Day

Re: Glock 43X
I just picked up an all black blue label 43x Tuesday. I think I’m gonna like this one. And I think it may just replace my 19 as my daily carry.

Re: Glock 43X

Something about the grip...I put some Wilson Grip Tape on it for now, may look for some type of rubber grip to place on it.
