5:15 also if you look closely on the holes the factory magazine have. You will see that the magazine is made out of metal too, they only "cover" it in the exterior with polymer to make it more durable. All Glock magazines are like that. Shield arms found a way to make more room for bullets removing the polymer exterior "cover" I guess
This is pretty great info. They worked around a design to make it work better for user. A small gun like this make so much more sense with 15rd capacity. I would’ve preferred alittle more grip texture but works for me.
I love the Glock 43X. I do not want a light on my gun. The second you point it at somone with a light, it is assult. Some people like the "RMR", "Red Dot" sights. -I like the Lasermax green dot recoil spring laser. I just push in the takedown lever and where the laser is pointed, the round goes and No red dot required. I guess it is personal taste. I like a stream line tool. Good video. I think most of us are doing the 15 round upgrade.
@@Pler1978 I think it does widen it but if your making decision to carry light that is alittle expected. If they make a slimline tlr. For these smaller guns I’m sure it will be a great hit.
So u can use the shield mags in the glock and it will shoot that’s hella cool I wish I had one now I’m still carrying the standard 43 it does have the +2 mag guts but still
Awesome! This was my first Glock purchase and I love it, even though I upgraded to a Glock 23 gen 5 for my edc ccw my wife takes the 43x with her as her ccw now and she loves it. I also have the recover tactical pic rail on mine too!! Nice video
I’m thinking about getting a Glock43x… I have a Smith and Wesson Shield Plus 9mm and a Hellcat Pro 9mm.. but I’m getting rid of my Hellcat Pro to get the Glock43x
I had the hellcat. Also have the p365x. Never had shield. Used to have shield 2 and didn’t like it. My favorites are 43x and p365x hands down. You be happy with it.
I'd love to get the Recover Tactical rail for my 43X, as well as a light. I recently spoke with Recover tactical to inquire about companies that make holsters, and I have to say they had the absolute worst customer service I have ever experienced. They were rude, and that's putting it mildly. I was thinking about getting one of the Viridian lights/lasers though. By the way, you have great content and love your videos!
To be honest. I found holster but light sits low. It was option then. No longer the way I have it. I think it’s good. But the light you say may sit better than option I had here.
The Recover rail and Valkyrie 2 combo is exactly the set up I want to run. I can’t wait to hear about your holster endeavors; the holster is the only component that I’m currently worried about. Thanks for the great content!
I haven’t released the video but Robert from Legion defense solutions is wrapping that up for me this week. I should have it by next week. I’m dropping another video talking about some current holsters I have he made. Hell make it happen. Thanks for watching.
While the trigger is personal preference, I absolutely love the Overwatch Precision PolyDAT trigger with the polished trigger bar. For 50 or 60 bucks it’s a kick ass trigger. I do think that you should choose what you feel most comfortable with though
Changing triggers out means you shoulda just bought another gun with a stock good trigger because if you modify your trigger on a conceal carry gun and have to use it, you are gonna get in trouble and possibly throw out your self defense case. Only change triggers on competition or range guns
@@StrategicallyStrapped no since it’s my money I’ll buy whatever gun and put a trigger in that I do in depth research on and then put about 1000 rounds through it seeing if it has any malfunctions what so ever and if not I’ll run it and trust it and turn my back to the old guys at the range that try to tell me the same shit without anyone asking .
Johnny glocks combat system btw. I had one of those “DONT CHANGE YOUR TRIGGER” dudes shoot it and he did some serious mental gymnastics to explain why he shot a lot better with my 43x compared to his stock one. He was coming back to my cubicle when he would come up with another excuse. 7 times I counted
I like the 43x but I am personally on the fence about modifying a carry gun. Really just to maintain factory reliability. Especially using aftermarket magazines or extensions. If we are just comparing guns in this class out of the box, I think something like a Shield Plus PC or 365XL beats the stock G43x in capacity, trigger feel and sight wise. But I do love Glock, and the 43x is still a great option, even out of the box. I still keep one around to put in the carry rotation on occasion. It would be nice to see the next gen 43x come with night sights and a double stack mag out of the box.
Your absolutely right. Knowing Glock. They won’t do it. They stay away from change and innovation. So many gun companies giving consumers what they are asking for.
@@codyjenn8785 if you see my update video of this glock. I went with apex trigger. Love the 90 degree pull and looks. I lightened the springs. I here great things of Johnny glock triggers and over watch. I was torn by overwatch and Apex. Love my choice.
First at all. To switch into metallic S15 mags you need first to change your plastic mag release for a metallic one. Otherwise your plastic mag release will broke with the time. And 2nd, a 20 rounds mag is not “easily concealable”.
The 20 rounds is now the size of a Glock 19 mag. Maybe a bit bigger. It conceals. As far as the release. Your right. I’m sure I mentioned that but great info 👍🏽
@@xltacticalet a PSA Micro 15 round Mag. It works perfectly, and your handgun won’t look like a bazooka. After one month waiting, I finally got three of them. With those mags a Glock 43X is the best EDC handgun ever made.
Those dang Shield Arms mags are back ordered everywhere. I want a few really bad but can’t find them. When they are restocked I will definitely be getting at least two.
Even if they are back order. Place your order and they will fulfill the order in about 3 weeks. The order will process. I got 3 more recently doing that.
@@xltactical thanks for the advice. I actually just did that about two days ago to secure my spot in line. I guess the good thing about them being so hard to get is that they must really be that good.
@@kwm4404 it’s hit or miss. Some people don’t like them. I personally think they are great. I’ve had them well over a year and tons of rounds and no issues. I’ve dropped them fully loaded , empty etc and they are solid.
Haha bro I know it's not really that's small but God damn your big manly hands make it look so much smaller than it is lmao 😆 😂 😅 thanks for the awesome review friend
Thanks. Much appreciated. I know I see videos and try to make them so it can be for everyday joe. I’ll keep doing them for folks like you. Thanks for watching.
MJA XL tactical man I agree with you!!! So I would LOVE to see a video on you shooting yours and talking more about!? Can we get anything like that in the near future on the 43X from you!?
Great coverage! I was hesitant on the g43x merely because it does not have a rail for a light. But seeing this recovery piece made me happy. I was informed about it a few weeks ago and now I'm sold. Went in today and got my davidsons edition on hold for me. Gonna be my first FDE!!
Jordan Work that’s awesome. And the rail was a great upgrade. Your going to love the gun. I’m not a Glock guy. More into sigs but this little gem is a winner in my books.
I would like mine better if the trigger guard was larger. My finger is rubbed raw after shooting a few rounds. Compare to a shield plus. The shield has a more room below your finger.
I have about 10 so far. 4 of the original and 6 of the 2nd gen. I hear horror stories but as for me I’ve had no issues. I’ve shot collectively about 1500 rounds through 6 of mine. Just picked up the last 4 and those have about 100 rounds each. Not sure how much that counts for my opinion. They are solid in my experience
I’ve shot the macro. It’s a great gun but more hype than practical. I have had 365, the xl and now have the 365x. That’s my sweet spot. So between that and this. I’m solid.
@@xltactical yea I agree.. I have the original with the silver color slide and have wanted the all black one for a while, and I’ve been thinking about going to 🔴 for a while. So when I seen the all black MOS in store, I pretty much new I wasn’t walking out of the store without it 😂
@@dustincarman6171 I took my brother to buy the two tone. Held it and didn’t like it at first. Then shot it a couple times. Saw the s15 mags and fell for it. Went back and they had all black. It had to come home. Went red dot ASAP. It cost me a pretty penny for milling and dot but we’ll worth it now.
I'm looking for a multipurpose gun (80% carry 20% uspsa carry optics...non competitive more like fun training). Would you recommend glock 43x with s15 mags and holosun 507k? Never shot 43x, at what range can you reliably hit "A" zone?
In my opinion I carry Sig 365 and p320 and have trained more with those. But I was comfortably hitting A zone at 10-15 yards. I don’t usually put out further than that. I have a g19 and the thing I like about G43x is the purchase your hand has on the grip. Makes for improvement of accuracy. Allows you to get back on target faster. Hope that helps if any....
@@X.340 of you go steal or aluminum supposedly they will wear out polymer mags. And vice versa. The happy medium is running new micro dagger mags. No need to change out mag catch. Check them out. Hope that helps.
Xltactical Very helpful video. What is the brand and name of the 5 round extension for the 10 round Glock mag, please and where can I find it? Thank you.
Lots of companies make it. The one shown here is for shield arms. Shield arms makes them. But strike industry, ndz performance, and other companies make them. Good luck
This review was awesome! I have the Glock 43 x and I love it! Being a woman, I have small hands so it’s perfect. I want to get the light and laser for my gun as well. Do you know if there is a light and laser combo that comes packaged together? Where did you get the light? I just have the standard magazines, but the 20 round one sounds awesome!
QueenOfTopics Tv if you add the rail you can add any accessories that can mount on a rail. Crimson makes a combo and tlr I think does too. If you have standard 10rd. Try the 15 rd. Weight won’t change much. The 20 is more of its in the car or range accessory. Hard to conceal with that much sticking outta the bottom of grip. Glad you like the video. I got several others and more coming. Stay tuned. Good luck.
If you don't want to add the recover tactical rail which will add bulk to your 43x? You can go with the streamlight tlr-6 light laser combo. Here's the amazon link. It says glock43/42 but it will also fit the glock 43x or even the 48. Hope that was helpful. www.amazon.com/dp/B00WMJRMKI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_BakpFbWN51TGH
So how do you plan on carrying it now that you have the recover and olight? I haven’t seen any holsters available for it. Also what about a magwell? Seen any out there yet? And how about the s15 baseplates what are you going to upgrade those to of were you thinking about just cerakoting for now? Thanks!
All great questions. I’m working with legion defense solutions. I’m sending him my tails so he can run the holster. He might have those available to order soon. No promises. Haven’t seen any mag well except people 3D printing them. Soon as I find out I’ll let everyone know. And base plates I’m using NDZ performance. I did video on p365. Quality baseplate and different colors. I’m ordering those there and some other accessories
MJA XL tactical awesome! Definitely interested in seeing what you LDS come up with. Rn I’m just using my techna clip for CC. Works great just can’t use no light. I saw the 3D printed ones. Definitely not a fan. You would think that others by now would have started manufacturing magwells.... Will checkout those basepads. Thanks! Looking forward to seeing your updates
I changed it as they recommend. I didn’t want to change the metal wears down catch and malfunctions when it counts. I’m sure it does. I’ve seen posts of folks running it on this.
The only thing that is recommend to change is mag release as it’s made of polymer. The mag is aluminum. It will wear down release over time. But outside of that. No way it should mess gun up. They make this gun run as it should’ve from the start.
Where did you find the fde 43x. Been looking to see if I can pick one up. I have a p320 rxp. I like it but doesn’t get the rotation I expected. It a safe queen.
Kyle R I like olight for the compactness of the light. It puts out good lumen. I do think streamlight is more proven light. I just like how slim it stays and not much added weight. Magnetic charge is also nice.
Forgot to mention if you use the 15 rd mags you have to change the mag release button also cause it’s plastic and the mag is metal and you can’t mix the two!
Paxton Krajnak you probably got the new MOS version. Does it have an optic cut already? Might be disappointed. I heard that rail still doesn’t accept regular accessories that would fit a 1913 rail
You can have regular 10 rd oem mags. Shield s15 which are like double stack. 15 rds. There a new s15 2 with some upgrades. Or get oem mags with some extension base plates.
I found some on Etsy and a couple on amazon. I have no experience with those. I’m working with Legion Defense solution to make me a custom one. I would reach out to him ASAP. Great price and great xcellent retention
MJA XL tactical I have the 34 with pl-pro valkyrie from them. I really dig it. The only thing I would change is it only came with one thin clip for the belt. But there is a spot for a second clip. When I order again, I’m going to ask for that second clip.
Here is the holster that works with the rail system.

@@dustincarman6171 I took my brother to buy the two tone. Held it and didn’t like it at first. Then shot it a couple times. Saw the s15 mags and fell for it. Went back and they had all black. It had to come home. Went red dot ASAP. It cost me a pretty penny for milling and dot but we’ll worth it now.
I'm looking for a multipurpose gun (80% carry 20% uspsa carry optics...non competitive more like fun training). Would you recommend glock 43x with s15 mags and holosun 507k? Never shot 43x, at what range can you reliably hit "A" zone?
In my opinion I carry Sig 365 and p320 and have trained more with those. But I was comfortably hitting A zone at 10-15 yards. I don’t usually put out further than that. I have a g19 and the thing I like about G43x is the purchase your hand has on the grip. Makes for improvement of accuracy. Allows you to get back on target faster. Hope that helps if any....
Do you know if a steel or aluminum allow me to run both shield arms and Glock without eating up the mags or I just have to stick to metal or polymer
Are you talking about mag catch?
@@xltactical yes
@@X.340 of you go steal or aluminum supposedly they will wear out polymer mags. And vice versa. The happy medium is running new micro dagger mags. No need to change out mag catch. Check them out. Hope that helps.
@@X.340 btw I’ve ran both type mags and haven’t had any issues. I shoot alittle more than average and 43x always gets range time
Xltactical
Very helpful video.
What is the brand and name of the 5 round extension for the 10 round Glock mag, please and where can I find it?
Thank you.
Lots of companies make it. The one shown here is for shield arms. Shield arms makes them.
But strike industry, ndz performance, and other companies make them. Good luck
@@xltactical Thank you!
Great review!!!
Thanks glad you enjoyed.
Will a 43x magazine fit a Glock 43
Yes they will.
@@xltactical thanks
Does the extended magazine plate print when you are concealed carry
For me it does as I’m a bigger guy. I don’t think it would too much as it’s about size of 19 grip.
Great review. Can I ask where did you purchase it? Can't seem to find it anywhere. Thanks!
Peter Suarez the gun I got from my local lgs. Rules of engravement. Optics had to hunt down and upgrades ordered online.
@@xltactical Thanks for the quick reply. I thought maybe you brought it online.
Would g48 barrel (only) fit&run in the 43x??
Never thought to try. I have a 48. Will try and report out.
@@xltactical thanks boss
Would you sell your original Glock magazines?
Naw I have a 48 I use it thru
@@xltactical ok no problem.
Can that plus 5 fit a Glock 43x mag
This mag extension is for s15 mags but they make some for oem mags too. Just have to buy the right ones.
This review was awesome! I have the Glock 43 x and I love it! Being a woman, I have small hands so it’s perfect. I want to get the light and laser for my gun as well. Do you know if there is a light and laser combo that comes packaged together? Where did you get the light? I just have the standard magazines, but the 20 round one sounds awesome!
QueenOfTopics Tv if you add the rail you can add any accessories that can mount on a rail. Crimson makes a combo and tlr I think does too. If you have standard 10rd. Try the 15 rd. Weight won’t change much. The 20 is more of its in the car or range accessory. Hard to conceal with that much sticking outta the bottom of grip. Glad you like the video. I got several others and more coming. Stay tuned. Good luck.
MJA XL tactical Thanks for responding! I will look into that.
If you don't want to add the recover tactical rail which will add bulk to your 43x? You can go with the streamlight tlr-6 light laser combo. Here's the amazon link. It says glock43/42 but it will also fit the glock 43x or even the 48. Hope that was helpful.

Look into the CTC LASERGUARD PRO FOR SUB-COMPACT GLOCKS u don't need both hands for it
www.glockstore.com/CTC-Laserguard-Pro-for-Sub-Compact-Glocks
So how do you plan on carrying it now that you have the recover and olight? I haven’t seen any holsters available for it.
Also what about a magwell? Seen any out there yet?
And how about the s15 baseplates what are you going to upgrade those to of were you thinking about just cerakoting for now?
Thanks!
All great questions. I’m working with legion defense solutions. I’m sending him my tails so he can run the holster. He might have those available to order soon. No promises. Haven’t seen any mag well except people 3D printing them. Soon as I find out I’ll let everyone know. And base plates I’m using NDZ performance. I did video on p365. Quality baseplate and different colors. I’m ordering those there and some other accessories
MJA XL tactical awesome! Definitely interested in seeing what you LDS come up with. Rn I’m just using my techna clip for CC. Works great just can’t use no light.
I saw the 3D printed ones. Definitely not a fan. You would think that others by now would have started manufacturing magwells....
Will checkout those basepads.
Thanks! Looking forward to seeing your updates
It’s going to be done by next week. I’ll post soon as a I run it for some time. Stay tuned.
Sandstorm precision makes a magwell for the 43x/48
Luka L will have to look into that thanks for the info.
Glock has also released a 43x in the same finish as the 19x.
Holy hell don’t say that. If there’s one thing I enjoy is some FDE
@@xltactical If I knew how to upload a picture of my flat dark earth 43x, I would send it to you I am not on Facebook.
@@chuck2895 I looked it up already. It’s my next purchase if I can find it.
I have only seen three of them
Is that a 43x Mos Or A Regular 43x
This is regular. I had it milled for optic.
S15 mag gen 2 no issue but when I added the plus 5 for 20 round it jams consistently
I got both versions and a plus 5 on both. I’ve been fortunate they’ve worked for me.
Did you have to change out the magazine catch to the metal one they provide? Also I’m pretty sure a tlr6 will fit on it!
I changed it as they recommend. I didn’t want to change the metal wears down catch and malfunctions when it counts.
I’m sure it does. I’ve seen posts of folks running it on this.
Where did u find that 20 round mag?
They are s15 mags with plus 5 extension. Available online.
Can aftermarket magazines mess up this gun? I was thinking of picking a few up but I bought a glock to have a lifetime chin. I’m scared to mess it up.
The only thing that is recommend to change is mag release as it’s made of polymer. The mag is aluminum. It will wear down release over time. But outside of that. No way it should mess gun up. They make this gun run as it should’ve from the start.
That is sexy and SA are out of stock so jealous I want the s15 combo pack
I feel you. I called and called around. When I found them I drive an hour away to get these. They are a must for a 43x.
Anyone know the name of the company that makes that magazine ? I love the grip at the bottom
The mag is shield arms S15 with plus 5 extension.
SIG is trash.
chumped up $1300 for SIG P320 scorpion....returned it after 100rds.
My 19x runs circles around that shit
can't wait to shoot my 43x! fde
Where did you find the fde 43x. Been looking to see if I can pick one up. I have a p320 rxp. I like it but doesn’t get the rotation I expected. It a safe queen.
@@xltactical I found it at my local shooting range gun shop
@@tanman7627 I need to hunt one down. I like me some FDE.
Do you have a link for the light and magazine ? Or tell me where to get that?
Light is olight pl mini. Amazon or directly from olight.
Mags are shield arms s15.
Primary arms, aim surplus or directly from them.
Thank you!!
Where is that 20 round mag from
Shield arms with plus 5 extension.
Do you have to run any specific holster??
With rail yes. I have a tuxton tactical holster.
nice video just picked up my 43x yesterday. What are the main reasons you prefer olight over streamlight?
Kyle R I like olight for the compactness of the light. It puts out good lumen. I do think streamlight is more proven light. I just like how slim it stays and not much added weight. Magnetic charge is also nice.
Forgot to mention if you use the 15 rd mags you have to change the mag release button also cause it’s plastic and the mag is metal and you can’t mix the two!
I think I didn’t. I did in an updated video. Good catch.
Where you get that 20 clips from 😦
those are S15 mags with plus 5 extension. They just released 2nd version. They are hitting LGS now.....
Just picked one up today mine has the normal Glock accessory rail though
Paxton Krajnak you probably got the new MOS version. Does it have an optic cut already? Might be disappointed. I heard that rail still doesn’t accept regular accessories that would fit a 1913 rail
Is there a good holster with the flashlight attachment
Look in the comments. I have the holster link pinned.
Put me on game with that rail appreciate it
It’s the recover tactical rail. You can find it on Amazon or direct from them.
Where you get the 20 round mag from
S15 mag with plus 5 extension on it.
Where did you get the 20 round mag
It’s a s15 mag with plus 5 extension. Only way to go. Lol
Where do I get the 20 round mag
It’s the s15 mag with plus five extension put together.
What ab a holster?
Tuxton tactical
Don't see the link of the rail
www.recovertactical.com/product/gr43-rail-adapter-for-the-glock-43-43x-and-48/
what mags are those again?
(the alloy ones)
Logan Vang shield arms. Going to put up video just about the mags this week. Stay tuned.
do all mags u get have to be single stack?
You can have regular 10 rd oem mags.
Shield s15 which are like double stack. 15 rds.
There a new s15 2 with some upgrades.
Or get oem mags with some extension base plates.
What base plate on the 20 rounder
Shield plus extension.
me gusta cual es wl costó y como la puedo comprar com los permisos incluidos
This gun how it is will cost you like 850. Basic model is about 500. Good luck
Hey do you have a holster that works with the rail and olight?
It’s the comment pinned in the comment section. Tuxton tactical
Does the recover tactical rail fit a Glock 43x mos
I would say no but not sure. Why do you need another rail of the mos has a rail ?
Where to buy 20 round mag for 43X ???
Is the shield arms s15 with plus five base extender. You can buy from shield arms.
Any recommendations for a holster that’s fits with the rail and light attached? I really want a light on mine while I carry
Joshua Barrera check my updated video
ruclips.net/video/BT_KQavhgFc/видео.html
MJA XL tactical hell yeah thanks I appreciate it! Made a sub outa me lol
Joshua Barrera much appreciated I try to keep it real and give real life uses to what we all looking for. Take care.
Joshua Barrera tuxton tactical on Etsy!
Love the rail and olight combo, are there any holster out to accommodate that variation?
I found some on Etsy and a couple on amazon. I have no experience with those. I’m working with Legion Defense solution to make me a custom one. I would reach out to him ASAP. Great price and great xcellent retention
I was thinking the exact same thing
Tuxton tactical makes them
TheJcure1206 ordered on from them too.
MJA XL tactical I have the 34 with pl-pro valkyrie from them. I really dig it. The only thing I would change is it only came with one thin clip for the belt. But there is a spot for a second clip. When I order again, I’m going to ask for that second clip.
Did you upgrade the sights?
Gary Stevens yes take a look at my newest video. More has been upgrade to this gun.
