I'm in the minority that prefers the model 48 over the 43x.
Dennis, nothing wrong with the 48. Like you I find myself preferring that with a slight edge over the 43X. Thank you for watching commenting.
Yeah my brother has a 48, I didn’t know what it was until he showed up saying he just picked it up. Really cool idea. Kinda like a Kahr CT9 that works 😂
This guy does good vids with excellent content. Channel should be bigger.
Carry what you’re confident with by all means. For the last couple of years, I’ve been running a 43x with shield conversions and it’s been serving me well for what I do for a living, and how I have to conceal. plus I have smaller hands myself, so the frame size is a bonus. Now my uncle has the 48 and it shoots beautifully.
@@Sheltowee1775really good actually. And he manages to efficiently cover all the necessary details in a reasonable amount of time, with range footage. Not to short, not to long.
I think using the Shield Arms magazines in the 43x is a bad idea. Regardless of how good they might function for some people, the probability that an aftermarket mag will fail is much greater than the probability of needing more than 11 rounds in a self-defense scenario.
Yes sir, vert fair point.
And I'd note I've fired sever hundred through the Shield Arms Gen 3 mags without one stoppage.
Thanks for watching. I hope you'll subscribe and share the channel. with friends and family, Stay safe.
I think too many people who are less familiar with all the varieties of pistols available today get pigeonholed into picking a gun because they relied on someone they thought "more experienced" to tell them what choice was best. With all the variables body shape, clothing, hand size, holster type and positioning, season, experience, caliber etc someone may find that one pistol is the best fit for a part of the year and another for other parts of the year. No one pistol is perfect for everyone by a long shot. I have large hands but I like you still vastly prefer the thinner gripped pistols and I'm willing at times to sacrifice round count for that because I'd rather have 10 sure shots with a gun I'm 100% with vs 15rounds with a gun I'm 90% with. Good video and info as always.
Thank you for commenting. I agree with you. A lot of people do whatever others tell them versus trying different pistols, and finding what works best for them. As you pointed out, there are no perfect options. There are always compromises and it’s best to choose based on the specific application, the operator is trying to fill.
Appreciate you taking the time to comment. Stay safe.
I tend to carry my Glock 19 the most. But I probably like my M & P compact and my P365XL a lot better. The Smith just feels premium and I have one of the older 2.0 models that has the hinge trigger. The Sigg it’s innovative and it’s amazing. I just wish the grip was a little bit longer front to back for my large hands, it’s great little gun. I just go back to the Glock 19 because it’s a little bit easier for me to work with larger hands and it’s lighter than Smith.
But as you alluded to, it’s really more about having the skill and the gear. If you know how to shoot a pistol, you can pretty much grab anything and be competent. The gun really doesn’t matter that much.
100% agree with what you said. It really is a matter of proficiency more than a specific brand or model.
Thanks for watching and commenting.
48 with standard magazines for EDC when traveling in the northeast part of the country.
Lots of two legged savages in those parts of the woods.
Excellent choices! Thank you for commenting.
Thank you very much for this interesting video. The G48 fits the hands of a lot of persons with smaller hands who cannot use a "service" pistol correctly. The G48 is controllsble and managable enough to train these persons.
Although the G43X may correspond to a public of highly trained people and security professionals, the G48 has its own public .
Sir, thank you so much for commenting. Like you I’m a big fan of the Glock 48. I remember the first time I shot it. I was very impressed with the way it fit my hands and the results!
I've had some serious issues with those mags. I had to go to psa and get the dagger 15 round mags they work just fine. The shield arms? I'll pass.
Sir, thank you so much for sharing your experience. I put several hundred rounds through five different shield, arms magazines and they seem to be working fine. I do know the GEN three versions of that magazine are allegedly better. Thank you so much for sharing the other option, which is the PSA Magazines.
I own the 43x with 3 sheild arm 15 rounds mag flawless and the glock 19 gen 5
Excellent choices in both pistols. Thank you for watching and commenting.
Looking to get a 48. Have the 43x and the 19. And 49 is the 48 better than the 19
Paul, thank you for watching and commenting. I personally really like the 48. The slim frame combined with the same site radius as the Glock 19 delivers a very balanced and easily concealable pistol. There is less felt recoil with the Glock 48 went compared with the 43X. I do like both pistols. You can’t go wrong with either.

Are there any full size handguns with that slim grip? I’ve been searching and the 48 is the biggest I’ve found so far.
Sir, thank you for watching commenting. The Glock 48 certainly is one for consideration. I really like it’s fit and feel. It is proven accurate and reliable.

Check out the width of a Wilson Combat SFX9, as it is amazing in the hand.
That sounds like an amazing pistol. I’ve seen it but not had the opportunity to shoot it yet. Thanks so much for watching and commenting.
"But it's only a 9mm.!!" Lol- Thanks for the video.
Rob, thanks so much for watching the video and taking the time to come. Stay safe.
Very well done video , my G 48 just points better . I thinking about upgrading to the gen 3 sheild magazines.
Mark, I have a similar observation. I think it’s the extended beaver tail or a bit more of a beaver tail on the 48 as well as the barrel length the provides that balance and point ability.
Thanks, super like always!
Thanks again!
Once again great video 👍🏻well I agree with all....I really agree with what fits you the best....that will win every day...take care out there 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 be well
Well said!
I would take either, no preference. The 48 has alittle longer sight radius. I only own though a coupe 43x guns. What sights did you have on the 43x in this video? Thanks for the video.
Thanks so much for watching commenting. The sites are X S suppressor heights sights. Trim dots on the rear and a big green Trillium dot on the front. Really outstanding! It’s a great combination with the Holosun EPS.
48 ❤️
I think the Glock 48 is an excellent choice. Thank you for commenting.
Even when rational, cogent appeals are made, personal preference will prevail.
Sir, many thanks for watching and commenting. Very valid point you made.
Prefer something other than 9mm. However if I have to use 9mm i might pick a 34.
Nothing wrong with the Glock 34!
I appreciate you commenting. I hope he will consider subscribing to the channel and sharing it with friends and family.
THE NARROW GRIP TRANSMITS TOO MUCH RECOIL INTO SKINNY HAND. PAINFUL!
Thanks for commenting. I feel it more with the 43X but the smaller you go the more felt recoil there is.
Thanks for comments. Hope you will subscribe!
👍👍
Thanks for the thumbs up!
Concealed better a little but a gun fight no thanks I take the 19 any day of the week and I wouldn't mind if the other guy had a 43x or a 48 lol you would probably jam using aftermarket shitty sheild arms god they suck .
Charles, thank you so much for commenting. I agree if I’m looking for a fighting handgun the Glock 19 would be my choice. In this case I was referring to the application of concealed carry for the average person.
I also appreciate your feedback about the shield, arms magazines. I have had no issues with them so I will closely watch whether or not they perform.
