    man I bought a 43x and couldn't get one full mag without a jam, I contacted glock and they asked if I had the labeled 1-0-1 recoil spring in which I did, they told me that labeled spring is not the correct spring and alot of 43x's got shipped with the 1-0-1 spring, glock sent me the correct labeled 1-1-1 spring which has made the gun run flawless ever since

    I run a stock 43Xmos as my EDC. No optic,no light, stock mags,no problems. 3,000 Rounds and not one jam. Being in the state of New Jermany ……we are allowed 10 round mags. I like the compactness of it. I carry IWB appendix and I forget it’s there. All my buddies are switching over from G19s to the 43x. With regards to your gun jamming, Did you check to see if your extractor is functioning properly?

    I have a 43x and love it! No jams. Some food of thought. At one point in my life, I was a cop (but decided to go back active duty Army). My police academy class was the first to get the Glock .40 cal. There were jams all over the place! Once the guns were broken in, it was smooth sailing. Some guns need TLC before they run correctly.

    Jamming issues can almost always be traced back to mag or ammo. Try different factory mags and or different ammo. Have two 43x’s and have yet to have a malfunction of any type. And really, be honest with yourself, civilian CCW guns doesn’t need a red dot or a light. Was a cop for 20 years, and for most of that time red dots didn’t exist anyway.

      I didn’t know at the time of this video. I am 99% sure it was one of the two stock mags I had. PSA mags haven’t jammed since I got them.

      Agreed. We will do another full video after a few more thousand rounds.

      @@ngirardo86I do still think the 19s are better in terms of reliability due to the full size footprint for the slide.

      @@Beyond_Tactical you can’t compare it to any model Glock. It’s not been in production long enough. We shoot the 17 and 19 for work and I wouldn’t hesitate to trust the 43x with my life if they said we’re switching to the 43x exclusively.

    Meh. Worst Glock ever made. I’ll stick with my Glock 26 & Sig p365.
