Why I Chose The Glock 43XMOS As My EDC
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 сен 2022
- If you want to skip the video, main points are:
Small and compact but offers full grip
15+1 capacity w/ Shield Arms mags
Lots of aftermarket support
Adapter plate for mounting Holosun 507K: chpws.com/prod...
I just bought one also, and it has replaced my G26 for carry. I carry Glocks only for SD. Never thought any Glock would replace my G26 for daily carry, but this one is it. I love the G43X MOS. It's everything I've wanted in a CCW.
I love my G43x mos. It's my EDC. One thing to keep in mind with Sig is they are a complete pain in the ass to fully disassemble the firearm. Glock is so easy to clean and replace parts it's a no brainer imo.
Sig isn't difficult to disassemble lol
@@TheGunnyBadger03xx I said complete disassemble lol! Not just removing the FCU. But I guess you didn't know that.
Anyone else screaming at the TV “stop putting it down on concrete!”
It hurt my soul.
It's just a glock
It’s a gun there made to handle way more abuse than
Setting it down on concrete
keep in mind it’s not an antique, a gun is a tool.
No
Shield mags are a hit or miss. I bought two mags for my Glock 48, and they work flawlessly. I was excited so I purchased two more magazines for my Glock 43X..extremely disappointed. I could not run a full mag to save my life, both mags would double feed every 5-10 rounds. Sent them back to shield arms, only to get told that there is nothing wrong with them. Moral of the story, why have an extremely reliable Glock with hit or miss mags lol..I now run only oem mags. This happened 10/11/22.
Shield arms mags trash I run a +4 extension base plate with the oem glock mag on my 43x, never jams💯
Yeah I stick to OEM. I have one extended mag from Tyrant Design CNC and its phenomenal. I'm probably going to pic another up as well. I carry the 10 round in my gun with one in the chamber. The Extended from Tyrant on my appendix holster, and the spare 10 round in my pocket.
I heard you have to change your mag release when u switch to shield mags for it to work correctly
@@sifer5913 I heard but I wouldn’t do all that just to not get 100% reliability plus it’s the same amount of ammo with the reliability that glock comes with I wouldn’t mess it up just to get 15 flush the extension also looks good on it anyways
Thanks for your honesty. I've heard a lot of negative things about those mags.
I purchased the 43x because i liked the ability to conceal it easier and ability to carry 15 in a flush fit mag however i noticed the 43x is snappier than my 26 the extra girth and weight help me control the gun better with a 2 round HYVE extension to the 10 round OEM mag, I'll continue to work on getting used to the 43x but the 26 stays put...
You should really grab a shield mag release. Eventually it will wear out the stock one. I called bs until I was at the range and my mags started dropping while firing
Honestly I like the +2 from The Glock Store , it gives you 13 rounds & you don't need to change the Mag release . I think that's PERFECT . I will say it adds a touch of length to the grip but that's also a HUGE + because you get a better purchase on the gun .
This is going to be my first gun. Hoping it’s a decent choice. I just want something reliable, compact, full sized grip and I just like the way it looks. Also supports a red dot which is nice. It’s also not crazy expensive. Isn’t cheap. But isn’t expensive as hell. At least I don’t think.
I’m not sure what they go for anymore, but I believe I paid MSRP for this one at the time which was roughly $600. That’s around the going rate for these subcompact firearms anymore it seems ($500-$700)
Its an excellent choice for a carry weapon. Probably the overall best EDC gun when considering size, capacity, and reliability. Shield Arms makes a 15rd steel mag that sits flush... that makes the capacity 16 rounds. Almost the same capacity as a full size glock 17.
I just saw a Glock 43X MOS in a gun store this morning and it was priced at $450. New.
If you are buying a firearm to protect your life and the lives of your family, first consideration should be quality and reliability. As far as price, what is your life worth? What are your family members lives worth? Your lives are worth far more so, don’t worry about the price of the gun. One thing I have learned about Glocks, they go bang every time you pull the trigger.
Can be had as low as $470
Seek and you shall find
Bought this as my first 9mm at 21 years old. Been carrying for two years now, it never leaves my side
You need to trim down a screw that go onto the red dot sight it catches common problem with the 43X if you’re not aware, all you need to trim down the screw, and your mags will run flawless.
Glock should have came out with this slimmer grip and 15 rd capacity years ago.
I agree around the time the 26 came out
I've heard a lot about those shield arm mags causing misfires. CT only allows 10 round mags anyway so this was a good option
Just got the 43x, wanted to go to a mom and pop to purchase but big box store where I got it was $60 cheaper than anywhere else I looked. Time to accessorize now.
I just bought the MOS one also. I actually like how it shoots it wasn’t as snappy to me like people said. I shot that, the hellcat (HELLA SNAPPY) and the Sig and I like the Glock better than them all and it was cheaper 🤷🏾♀️
Change your magazine release to the Shield Arms metal one.
9:00 LV Eclipse is why I'm here! Salute on that my dude 💯
Great choice on the 43X! Great video!
Two stock polymer mags are my choice for EDC than Shield's 15-mag. The polymer stock magazine does not cut through the 43X polymer frame than Shield's mag would probably do in a matter of time.
Not if you switch to a metal mag release
The shield arms mags are so nice. im waiting to buy the holosun eps carry for it
I tell you I ordered a 43X MOS 4 weeks ago & FFL tells me they can't find one so I guess I'll buy a SIG 365.
Are you dropping it on concrete???😰😰😰
Get Macro grip and 17rd mags for your XL, I have 365 X MaCRO with 17RD, My spare mags are +3 plates so backup mags are 20rds. Fully replaced my 320 AXG as primary carry
Is that cement you are scraping your gun on?
I Carry A Glock 26x, Gen 5,
I Carry 2, G19 Mags (15+1)
With Xgrips On Them, For
More Ammo & A Fuller Grip...
Why the flashlight??
The 507k died on my 43x after a year. Holosuns warranty is a joke, filled out multiple forms, called holosun multiple times no answer. I just run irons now 😑
Aimpoint. 2 day shipping. Had a new dot within 7 days.
MOS glocks are so damn hard to find.....
I’m moving from xMacro to 43x MOS as my EDC tomorrow through trade. I live in a 10 round limit state so capacity isn’t a question. I just trust Glock much more compared to Sig from recent research. Sig does not stand behind their products as well as Glock.
Very nice set up! Just sub’d. Keep going.
I like the video and the tips thx, the sound of the gun on concrete was cringe to me tho.
Haha, it’s just a tool in my head so the concrete doesn’t bother me. Plus it’ll get worn over the years from going in and out of the holster, and I can have it cerakoted eventually if needed.
The shield mag gets shamed sometimes. Not good for edc. Use Glock mags for reliability.
Nothing wrong with aftermarket mags as long as you vet them before you carry it.
Someone other than shield arms needs to step up and make a 15 rd mag for the 43x. Someone to do it better and improve reliability
Just make the same mag as Shield Arms but polymer
Get the $20 Johnny Glock oem trigger, its flat and smooth, the original g43x trigger is awful and serrstro. The JG one also has an over travel adjustment built in so you can really eliminate most of the pre travel before the break.
When you started using the Shield steel magazines did you switch out the Glock mag release for a steel part? After awhile of using the steel mags with the original mag release the steel mags will wear ion the plastic Glock release.
Next time you buy an electronic sight, look at a green dot. The human eye picks up the color green better and quicker than red.
I didn’t switch out my mag release because they weren’t readily available at the time. I need to switch it out but just haven’t got around to ordering and installing it. My mag release hasn’t had a problem yet, but I do know that is an issue that others have had, so it’s on the to-do list. I’ve tried a green dot once and wasn’t too sure how I felt about it, so I’ve stuck with red dots on all my guns for now.
@@kroniicaledc7316 I have had red and green lasers, LaserMax Brian, in two of my Glocks. The green shows up way better in daylight than the red.
I prefer the red dot which for me is easier for my eyes to sight
@@kroniicaledc7316 order the pro version mag release that aren't ambi from shield arms. it basically removes any issue moving forward. it swaps out the ambi feature for a bigger shelf upon which the mag sits.
Magguts adds two extra rounds too your standard 12 rounds mags to make it 14🔥🔥🔥
Oh that’s interesting, I’ll have to give those a look, thanks!
I have the 43X and tried the S15 mags, not reliable enough for me. I picked up Hellcat Pro with stock 15rd mags. Runs great and is 100% reliable.
Unreliable as in it doesn't shoot? Maybe abit of clarity
Unreliable as in, rounds would not feed properly. Or the mag would disengage, sometimes just fall out. And that was with the Shield metal mag release. Wouldn't bet my life or my family's life on them. Only stock mags for me.
You should check out the PSA Dagger Micro 15rd Mag. It’s absolutely amazing, no issues so far, and you don’t have to change your mag release.
Very nice handgun....kool setup 👌
Exactly shield mags are hit n miss that's why I went back to oem
I’d like to get the same holster. Where can I get it?
Bro what is your holster and your flashlight and optic because I just got the glock 43x mos and want mine to look exactly like this😂
Great video ! 🎉
What do you think of the P365 X Macro it holds 17 and has a built in compensator? I’m torn between 43x MOS and P365 X Macro.
I haven’t had any experience with the macro, so can’t really have a good opinion on it. From what I understand it’s more compact size than sub compact, which would make it noticeably bigger than the 43x in hand. I truly feel like the better comparison would be the 365xl and 43x, but like I said, I don’t know a ton about the macro, so I’d look at some videos directly comparing them before making a decision. Holding 17 rounds is nice, but if it’s harder to conceal then it’s a trade off you have to consider.
I don’t have either but from the outside looking in I would say cost would factor in for me. I carry a 365 XL and I’m considering a 43x. The x macro is like $800 and usually the 43x is around $500. If cost isn’t an issue, I would recommend going to the range and renting one.
@@kroniicaledc7316 43x and macro are so close to same size it not funny. But where is 43x is snappy. Still can control it with good grip. The macro is flat. Plus direct mount optic and metal night sights with built in comp. It worth it. 43x mos is 600-650 plus 100 or more to get metal night sights puts it at same cost. Plus if you use 407k or 507k or eps carry you have to use plate or grind off back lugs.
I like your holster in this video... if you don't mind, who was the maker for the holster?
Following
I wouldn't trust those shield mags for my EDC. I love the gun 10 +1 is enough for me.
Shield & Swampfox sentinel fit right on the slide while all others require a plate far as I know. Have 43X but prefer my 48 mos cause it's more accurate for me . Just have to concentrate on pulling trigger straight back & consultant grip . Thinking on getting a Shield Arms magwell to improve grip on my 48?
Dude, you are killing me. Take your gun off the concrete. Grab a table. I love what you are saying, but every time you lay that gun on the concrete, I cringe! Urgh!
I mean it’s just a Glock lol. It’s going to get worn taking it in and out of the holster. It’s not like I’m tossing around some rare, special 1911 or WW2 era gem of a firearm. Besides, it’s still flawless, there’s no scratches on it from the making of this video.
@@kroniicaledc7316 OK, I get ya
@@livinglife2535 I also want to say I didn’t mean to come off rude in that reply, as I just reread it and it sounded worse than when I originally wrote it out.
If it was a more special firearm then I would certainly treat it with care. I have $2k+ pocket knives and I treat them a lot nicer than a run of the mill Spyderco. But with this being a fairly common piece, I wouldn’t feel sad if it gets some wear on it from various things, such as laying it on concrete.
Thanks for watching!
@@kroniicaledc7316 I appreciate your reply. I make vacation, fishing and camping content. So, I will keep watching to see how I can introduce my firearms in my vlogs.
Sig p365 also offers a 15r mag. I've got 3. I just picked up the 43x myself. So far nice pistol
Also for 34 bucks you can put the maggots kits in and make your 12 round sig mags into 14 rounders. Cheaper than s15 mags.
@@andershilmo1866 really? Who makes them? That's new to me
@@Wilders53 mag guts if you search them you should find them. YT doesn’t let me put the link on here.
@@andershilmo1866 awesome brother! Ty!!👍
I have a 43x and a 48 MOS had problems with the shield arms magazines in my 43x haven't tried them in the 48 yet
The shield arms mags are known for jamming. That’s why most don’t use those mags for their edc, but the Glock 43x with its 10 round jags is reliable. Perhaps you should look into the hellcat pro
I have had 2 20 rd and 1 15 rd shield arms mag and I havent had any issues. 4 other guys in my agency carry the same setup and they havent had any issues. We all have the metal mag release from shield arms also. Its wierd to me that some people have problems and other dont. I just reccomend train and shoot with your setup if it doesnt work then revert back to oem. But I reccomend them
Pair the Shield Arms Gen-2 mags and the Shield Arms Mag Catch and you won't have any issues with the 43x.
Never had an issue with the Shield mags . Got at least 8k through them with no issues for me at least
My understanding is that you shouldn't use stock Glock 43x mags after switching to the Shield magazine catch...
@@Robert_Sparkman_01 ya you shouldnt
Good vid but correct me if i am wrong, although u dont care for glock sights, the optic u are using will not allow u to co witness with factory sight. Additionally, the TLR 7 is not madenfor the 43 x mos. It is made for a gun with a picitinny or weaver rail. The rail on the 43 x mos is narrower than both and eventually it will come loose.. if i am wrong please enlighten me.. for mine i bought the nitestick , lase/ light combo made specifically for the 43 mos
Thanks for a great vid
Yea this optic won’t let you co witness the stock sights. You can a little, but not intended for co witnessing. The TLR7 Sub I have is made specifically for the 43x mos, different from the standard TLR7.
Where did you get that holster from ?
You need the MOS to run a decent light.
Where’d you buy your gun holster from ???
How are you liking that Traditional Arms holster? Been thinking about getting the same one.
Save 15 minutes of your lives and read this. G43x MOS, light rail and red dot ready, shield arms 15rd mags. SUPER ERGONOMIC. Done. The only true competitor at this point is the new SIG. Problem w the G43x is after you buy the mags, replace the absolute garbage stock sights, the optic and light, it's well over $1000, while it's still fine stock w shield mags. For 750 you can get 13+1Sig P365 Romeo(comes w red dot) or Hellcat Pro OSP with 6 15rd mags for 549 at PSA.
Thx
🤡
No one wants a unsafe sig drop it and watch it go off
@@jonnnn4895 issue got resolved years ago lol
All striker fired triggers are not usually the best in the market.
He keeps lifting up and putting down his Glock on the concrete and I can see front of the slide and the TLR light getting scratched. I guess its his throw down gun 🤣
Been on and off the fence between the 43x MOS and Hellcat pro. I ended up ordering the Hellcat pro just cuz I like Springfield overall and have a couple of the XDM series. But I really considered the Glock probably will eventually get the 43x just cuz.
Also how is it carrying with a red dot? Fixing to get my LTC figured it’s more comfortable being bare or does it not phase you? Great video
I'm deciding between the two right now. So many pros and cons to each
@@johnprrker The sig wipes the floor with both of them. And I hate sig.
@@joncampo1627 which one?
P365 he prob talking about
@@johnprrker I went with the hellcat pro and a 407k mounted , very happy with my purchase
How does it shoot in your opinion? compared to say a 19, deciding between the both and cant try them out
The 19 shoots better because it’s a bigger gun. I’ve found you’ll almost always shoot slightly better with a bigger gun. While the 43x doesn’t shoot as well, for me, as the 19, the conceal ability and weight, are worth the trade off without a doubt. I’m a big guy, but that difference in size is absolutely noticeable both in how it feels to carry, and how it prints on the body. 19 is a safe choice, but I’ll take the 43x every time.
@@kroniicaledc7316 Thank you for the honest answer, i may need to get both lol. Think ill get the 19 to start, as its a great ccw and home defence, and get a 43x after for ccw exclusively. I live in the caribbean so its harder to just buy but im a recently certified firearm instructor, so in it for the long haul. Thank you again
@@daahsri Getting the 19 to start with is probably the safer move. Still arguably one of the best all around pistols to date. Hope it serves you well!
I shoot better with my 43x mos than I do with my 19x but I have way more range time with the 43x

Have the shield arm mags been giving you any issues? I’ve seen so many mixed reviews I’m reluctant to trying it out.
I've yet to have any issues with mine. I know some people were having problems in the beginning when the mags first came out, but I thought all of them had been fixed.
I will not carry shield mags. Me and friends have 5 43x and 3 of the guns have issues no matter gen 1 or gen 2 shield mags
@@heaterfamily interesting. Might just vary from gun to gun.
@@kroniicaledc7316 yes. Meaning the mags are out of spec. This has been said before by some RUclipsrs. It the reason I won’t carry them. Also reason why my 43x was sold. Well and the fact the macro is so flat. I have videos of me shooting it in slow motion.

What’s the difference between this and the reg 43x? I just got the 43x I’m a newbie but I like your sights and light can I add that to mine ??
The main thing the MOS gets you is the ability to add an optic. You can have your 43x slide cut to mount an optic, you just have to have a third party company do it. I highly recommend NCEngravers.

What site did you buy the holster
Did you have to make any modifications or use a plate for your holosun?
Nope, it’s made to work without any modifying
Great video Trib3.
where you buy the holster?
I chose it because I have a sig 365 xl and wanted a sig macro but is was 799 plus tax and they had a US made 43x mos for 519 plus tax so I had to buy it. LOL. Also have a bunch of shield arms mags from when I had a g48 mos that I traded for the xl so I was already ready to go. Also my XL is super accurate, I don't know why but its probably the tighter tolerances but the 43x mos can still shoot a tight group at 7-10 yards but the XL group will always be tighter. Both are great.
Dude love the gun but the drag across on the concrete killed me 😅
You need to check out “The Glock Store” !
SA mags are too hit and miss to have on a self defense guns. Changing internal parts is a bad idea too. But it's your life not mine lol do what you will. Also if you don't want to change your current holster but want the clip thus guy has its 12.99 at discret carry solutions

Hey man what holster is that I would love to have one !
If you find out let me know please
As far as the Glock trigger, I am not a fan of them at all. There is a sharp ridge on all new Glock pistol triggers that cuts into the trigger finger. The trigger must be gently filed so as to remove that sharp edge.
U gently sand the blade in middle flush look it up doesn't affect the safety at all
@@jerstolp1 Thank you for the tip., I appreciate it
have you looked at milling the top nubs for the holo to fit more flush on the slide?
Never looked into it simply because the adapter plate was cheap and doesn’t bother me.
