Bro, that ruler slap is boss level.
Indeed it is

Had me like 😩 huuuuuuuh

Frfr🤦🏿♂️💀⚰️🔨🪦😂
That 5 oz or weight is so noticeable, I couldn’t believe how light my 43x was when I got it
Good video. Thank you. I went with the Sig.😉
I have a 19x as my nightstand and winter gun. Best pistol I've ever owned.
Good comparison of a single stack vs double stack....Good detailed info....Good stuff....
Thanks Scott! When I did the 43 vs 19 video it seemed to help many people so I figured this might do the same. :)
Have these both. Love them both. Apex helped me love them even more now.
i've heard the slimline apex kits had some issues. how's yours running?
Mike J i did not put the kit in the 43x just the apex shoe & a ghost connector. Does great so far. I did put the kit in the G19 gen 4 & ive had no issues. They are a little different on how they work.
The Shild Arms mag is just genial and a +5 extention is magistral.
What mag extension brand do you use? With your s15 mags
My first gun was Glock 19 (4,100 rounds) and my last gun is the 43X (3,600 rounds) and love them both. They are the ultimate in reliability and accuracy. In between I had a Taurus 709 Slim, which ran just as well as my Glock 19, but was replaced by the 43X. I also have two of the Shield Arms S15 mags, with some 650 rounds without any issues at all. They are great. The 19 is my primary home defense weapon and the 43X with S15 is EDC ready. However, my preferred EDC is actually the Taurus Spectrum (ankle or pocket holster). I have two of these, each one with over 3,100 rounds and alternate EDC and practice. To be fair, the Spectrum isn't a Glock, but for 10-15 yards it is accurate, easy to conceal and fun to shoot.
Great comment, you and I have a very similar EDC background. The 19, gen 4 was my first Glock 7 years ago. It was my EDC, but now its my home defense weapon. The G43X is my new EDC CCW. I will be checking out the S15 mags. Thanks for tuning in Rick
@noryn syra For me the 19 is simply too large for an EDC, hence it has become my primary home defense gun. The 43X is clearly easier to conceal, making it a good EDC option. With the 15 round Shield magazine, I find it equal to the 19. Where the 19 might be better is simply at longer distances, e.g., 25 yards. Under 15 yards I'm just as accurate with the 43X as the 19.
@noryn syra Not very significant at all, as the grip of the 43X is quite nice. I really don't notice a recoil difference.
I had a difficult time choosing between the the 19 and 43x. The fact that the 43x felt much better in my hand and lighter, had to take it home
I have the same dilemma! Next month i will hold both of them in my hand and take just one. 555$ for a G19 gen 4 or 755$ for the G43X black slide with rail
@@orhanabd1724 $755, I just bought a new 43x for $499.
@@americangangster1911 I paid 857$ in october 2020 for mine. G43X rail without MOS
@Brandon Nelson your completely right I posted that a year ago when it was the greatest thing to come to the firearms industry. Everyone was saying it’s reliable and then people started running them in classes and they all failed when it’s came to real world scenarios. Lesson learned only use oem mags
@@orhanabd1724 damn they got yo ass. I got a MOS 43x for 599$
Great comparison, thanks for that!
Glad you liked it!
I love the video talking about the biggest diffrence is double stack vs single stack. I live in NYS 10 round mag is all I can have.
thanks for watching!
Good video brother. I loved my G45 and G43x. Shield arm has S15 mags.
thanks for watching!
Great video, exactly the information I was looking for!
I had a Glock 19 great for winter carry when wearing lot of clothes. Summer time it was to bulky to conceal for me. I ended up selling it not bad gun just didn’t have a use for it anymore. I’m really thinking of getting the 43x. Held the 43 to small for my hands
It’s a little bulky for me too with less clothing in the warmer months. I feel like the Glock 43X was the “Goldilocks” Gun for me. It’s the best of both worlds so to speak. I think you’d like it too.
Got my 43x 2 years ago just got a factr usa trigger installed, night sights sent my slide to get milled recently and put a holosun 507k on it, 2 shield arms 15 round mags it’s my go to for sure
In other words, you no longer have a Glock. If it's not stock then it's not Glock.
I have a G19 that I carry. I’m looking at getting a 43x MOS just for something a little smaller. The G19 isn’t bad to carry at all. But sometimes I think I’d prefer a little less hanging around on my waist.
Shield plus.
@@jshepard152 I bought one about a month ago. Fantastic shooter. Carries very well.
Great Video Frankie D! Size does matter!
Haha yes it does thanks for watching John
Have a Glock 43 and love it. But also wanted more rounds. And was looking at the Glock 19. I liked the thinner 43x and more rounds then the 43. They even have the 15 round mags now. Bought a 43x in black today! Pick it up sat! Thanks for the video! Can't wait to get it to the range!
Glock does not have 15 round mags for the 43X. There are aftermarket ones, but they decrease reliability.
awesome! thanks for watching!
Thanks from Spain!
So thankful you did a safety check! I was afraid of getting shot through the screen. Aren't those lawyers so helpful?
Someone will complain either way so why not take the safer approach!
Ever since the shield arms 15round glock 43x mags came out I've been trying to buy a glock 43x but can't find one! Because imo it makes it the perfect conceal carry gun now
Gunbroker.com you can find them for $540-$600 buy now prices. You are over paying by $50-$100 but it’s worth imo with why things going on I’m sure prices will continue to go up. Or you could get lucky in an auction
I'll sell you mine. I bought it a 4 days ago for $600. Only shot 150 rounds through it.
Rural king for less than 500
I love the 43x. Got standard version. Been carrying about 6mo. OEM mags OEM internals and Trigger.
Great vid
thanks for watching!
I carry a Glock 17 gen5 mos. No problem for me. And I’m only 5”8 185
I really like that 43x though 👍🏽
Couldn’t make up my mind so just bought both lol
Add the 19x....just to be 👍
@@24roughing76 I did also......19 first, then 43X today....week apart......19 in car, 43X in pocket.......
that always works lol
Glock makes a 43x with the rail
I did not know that! I just looked them up - thanks for letting me know!
I wonder ......maybe in the near future
So far the 43x with the rail is only available in the UK I even called Glock in Smyrna Ga. to confirm with no info on when it would be available in the U.S.?
Ac3FN we have freedom in America unlike other nations
fishing In Canada, you can order a gun online and get it shipped straight to your front door. In Norway, you can buy a suppressor online and receive it immediately. In Portugal, select-fire guns can be bought at gun stores.
These are cool, aside from the other bullshit they have to deal with.
I mean, for conceal carry the length of the slide doesn't matter to be honest. What matters is how long the grip is.
If these two guns are basically the same in the grip length department, I don't see a reason to go for the 43X when the 19 holds 5 more rounds. Yeah, is a bit ticker but is not a huge difference
I agree. Actually for appendix carry, a longer slide is more comfortable than a shorter slide if you have a little bit of a gut because a shorter slide will poke into you more. Also, a shorter slide/smaller gun means less velocity and more recoil. The G19 is a dream to shoot and anything snappier that is approximately the same size just doesn't make sense to me.
What kind of light was that one you had in the video for the g19? I like the quick disconnect idea there.
Aimkon hi light P10S. I actually did a review on it I will attach the link below:ruclips.net/video/S8lWWN9ejDk/видео.html
8 months later, they actually finally made a railed version.
Glock is a little slow in the innovation department these days.
@@jshepard152 idk why they didn't do it initially. Makes absolutely no sense to release a non railed version first, then a railed one. Same goes for the g48 and g43x. Why make a silver slide two toned gun when you know all black is what everyone wants?
yeah i saw that. thanks for watching!
Thanks I just bought a 34x
I tried the original 43 (before I knew how to upgrade triggers), and really didn't like the pull. Is the 43X stock trigger better than the original you had?
No its not better. Put a Apex kit in the 43X & it becomes a much better firearm hands down.
@@bruteforce1228 No thank you, I want Glock reliability, not Apex reliability.
I think it was the same trigger. thanks for watching!
I prefer glock 27 with extended grip to CC
One thing to consider in capacity is the 19 can also accept Glock 17 mags with 17 rounds. I carry the 15 round in the gun and a 17 round spare mag.
I just picked up the 43x a couple of weeks ago and it's a blast at the range. The size was a little odd at first, but I added Talon grips and my accuracy went up. It's easily the best carry gun all around.
I just bought Talon grips as well.
Personally I can conceal thickness more than grip length. I'm not a wide person, so the backstrap is what prints for me. Since they're only a few ounces apart from each other I think I'd rather have the G19, but personally conceal a P365!
Really good point! I think there are many others out there who look at this comparison in the same way. Its whatever works best for you and that is a great idea that would certainly appeal to others in the same boat. Thanks for watching!
Me too!
Have a Glock 43x and a Sig P365xl for my EDC rotation! Life is good!
What one you like more I’m torn between both I’m a Sig and Glock guy
@@iceblock3 Nothing takes the place of my Sig P365xl. I think it’s the best EDC gun out right now.
BREAKING NEWS!!!
Shield arms now makes a 20 round mag for it!!!
Total game changer!
Why would anyone carry anything else?
Because shield arms only decreases the reliability of a Glock. Why would you mess with top tier reliability by putting in aftermarket crap that has known issues?
@waholoopesorry74
You're not risking anything.
IF there is a problem, it would be after hundreds upon hundreds of rounds fired, years of pressures put upon the plastic vs. Metal.
So if this is used for self defense, not used much, it's 100% reliable.
thanks for watching!
I got my 43x for OG shield trade in and $230. Was a heck of a good deal.
Would love to see the 43x body supporting a 45 round
Me too Frank. One day we will I think
I'd much rather see it as a smaller 10mm, myself! With just barrel changes youd be able to shoot 4 calibers out of the same mags, and certainly better performance in the woods than with the. 45!
The Glock 43x MOS has a rail now available
Thx gd info !! Which has more recoil???
43x
If you live in a state that only allows 10 rounds then the best gun is the 43x. Even though the 19 is a better model; carrying a bigger gun with only 10 rounds isn’t worth it.
Not to be one of those clip vs magazine guys, but it's "grip" not "purchase". Purchase is only used when there's no opposing "squeeze" action being applied with the thumb. If there is, then it's called "grip."
Thank you.
thanks didnt know that!
My EDC is a glock 43x
When did grip start being replaced with purchase? I hear it a lot
It's the current trend right now, even though most of them use the term incorrectly.
Lmao I know its getting on my nerves
@@jaycamacho8179 I hate it too.
I thought it was interchangeable! Live and learn! I'll make a video about it!
43X is not a single stack, I took the magazine apart on my 43X and the cartridges start to stager after the second round !!!
You’re right they’re staggered in there but you know what I’m saying- it’s pretty much single stack
i did the opposite. when I got my S15 15 round mag and the 43x, I ditched my G19 and just kept the 43 and 43x. feel like the 43x did everything the g19 did
I can certainly see why you feel that way. It's interesting - part of me wishes I had a Glock 17 and Glock 43X now to serve two separate, distinct purposes. But its all in what you like and how you use your setup. Thanks for watching!
You should’ve done like me buy the 48 and you would’ve have the 43,43X and the 48 which is like the 19 but slimmer
Must be nice. I'm stuck in NYS we can't have a mag that can hold more than 10 rounds.
@@wendull811 the glock 43 is the best gun for NY residents.
@@jjking316 I finally got my ccw and got to hold a pistol today for the first time in my life. I'm 39. I really liked the glock 43x it fit my hand great where as the glock 19 was a touch to big.
Glock 43X might be an interesting option....if the Shield Plus didn't exist.
43x with the 15 round mags should’ve been the 19
The 43x has a 26 slide and a 19 grip
honestly, i think they both shoot about the same. any snappiness of the 43x's shorter barrel seems to be mitigated by the reduced mass reciprocating in the slide.
To me the G19 has a little less recoil than the 43X & im a little more accurate with the G19 maybe because i have trijicon hd sights on the 19 & stock sights on the 43X.
You are delusional. I’ve owned and shot both and I won’t try to justify the 43x just because it’s hot and popular. There is a world of difference in shooting between the 19 and 43x
Not even close. The 43X is way snappier. You can't shoot the 43X one handed without having to regrip after a few rounds. Either you're being dishonest because you want to like the 43X or you're the world's strongest man and every gun feels like it has little recoil to you.
Do the 19 mags don't fit on the 43x?
No the mag well is narrower.
Can you imgine that glock 19 with the grip of the 43x? That will be a home run.
That would be the Glock 48.
Uhmmm ... you just described a Glock 48.
I am in market for a Glock 9mm. I have looked over the Glock 43, the 43x, the 48, and the 19.
I have bigger hands. Have been shooting a Glock 21 in .45acp for 35 years
The 43x and the 48...I felt like I could not get a grip that would stop the firearm from wriggling lose in my hand...the Gen 5 Glock 19 felt very solid in my hand ,locked in my grip so to speak. I did not feel that with the Glock 43x or 48...bringing the firearm up to a shooting position quickly I found the 48 and the 19 the sight just were there.
The 43x shorter sight radius had me searching and moving my presentation a bit I didn't like that.
I know I will get slightly more velocity our of the slightly longer barrel.
I get a rail system and interchangeable backstraps for the Glock 19. I can shoot a whole ton of different Glock OEM mags which I have complete faith in. I get 15 rounds with a reliable OEM mag in Glock. With the 43or 48 I have to go with shield arms mags and mag catch...I have shot Glock mags with the same Glock mag catch with my 21 for 35 years not one malfunction or failure to feed.
The Glock 19 just fits my hand better I get a better grip and the sight picture is just there everytime I quickly present the firearm to shoot, and I get 15 + 1 in OEM mags.
My decision has been made I'm getting a Gen 5 Glock 19.
I agree with you. When shooting one handed, the recoil with the 43X made it rotate in my hand no matter how tightly i held the gun, which is a disqualifier for me since I may have to shoot one handed. I understand the appeal to the 43X but I don't think a lot of people think things through all the way.
the gen 5 43x MOS have a light rail now prob gonna be my next gun. after i sell my brick of a glock 23 haha
Not a single stack with the s15 mags
hoping for a sigle stack 40 cal
Eventually I think they will
Good review. I've always wondered why people weigh guns empty. Nice to know but do you carry it empty? Not a chance, right? The difference between these two loaded is more than 5 oz.
Hey thanks for watching and commenting. The reason I weigh them empty is because there are many variations in round loading and round types which will vary depending upon what you choose to shoot. You do bring up a good point though. In future comparisons I might try to do both 😊👍
Because it's a statistical baseline. Like weights of motorcycles, cars, etc. EMPTY WEIGHT IS A THING.
What mag release is that on the 19?
It’s stock
@5:45 Glock 43x mos your wish has been granted 👍
Volume
43X rail is available in Europe
I actually just found out about that from another viewer a day or so again. Any idea when they'll be available in the US?
Don’t recommend the shield mags their springs suck
I own a 33 that is more thin. And has a better trigger.
The 43x is designed for carry.
Nice video, but just a minor critic, you don't need a black background (mat) when you video black handguns. The table would have been a nice contrast
Good point - I will revise that in future videos. Thanks for watching
Did your 43x come with the night sights?
Yes I ordered them for extra $
Go with truglo tfx pro, I did freak'n awesome!!
For someone with big hands, how is the 43x?
Might be a little small for you IMO
Only difference is you can’t change caliber
43 x with shield magazines is basically a thin Glock 19
pretty much
You forgot to mention that the Glock 19 accept Glock 17 magazines giving it a 17 round capacity. Of course you can put a much bigger extended magazine capacity on the 19th as well if you're trying to get crazy and non practical like some of the street thugs you'll be facing if they break in your house. But I don't think we have that capability with the Glock 43x. It's made primarily for a concealed carry not a main Home Defense weapon.
The Shield arms 15-round flush fit mag was definitely the deal sealer for me it is a no brainer
Shield Arms 15 round mags are dangerous and have numerous feed failures..sold the 43x and the mags..got the new hellcat pro...best thing i have done gun wise in years....
@@dbenson002i actually really appreciate you revisiting you comment with an update, i had the exact same thought process and seeing what happened for you, made my choice way easier!
They make 15 and 20 round mags for the 43x
So the 43x is the winner for me
thanks for watching!
Is the 43x still not legal in California??
It never will be, until the roster is gone for good. Luckily for you, it was recently found unconstitutional.
@@jshepard152 Well hopefully they get rid of that sht.. -_-
Makes you wonder why the Glock 19 is as thick as it is anyway.
Yeah especially with these 15 round flush magazines that are available
If the grip length is the same then why bother getting the 43x ? I’ll stick with the 19 .
Maybe the weight difference
Narrower, lighter, shorter barrel.
I'm definitely not a fan of the idea of having to swap out the mag release for use with the S15 mags. The original plastic mag release will last less than 200 rounds with the S15 mags, and the soft aluminum ones that everyone is selling for $30-$40 will also fail in less than 1,000 rounds with the steel mags. Unless you machine one out of steel yourself, then any of the previously mentioned options for an upgraded mag release make the 43X with S15 mags unacceptably unreliable. I won't consider a 43X without it being able to hold 15 rounds, so it's not a viable option for me.
I hit 2k rounds aluminum mag realese almost no wear
wow! for losing 7 rounds you don't really gain a lot of space in the waistband.
Its actually 5 rounds (10 in G43X and 15 in G19)
Yes, and the smaller slide/barrel on the 43X makes your rounds lose velocity and increases the recoil. No thanks - I'll stick with the 19
The 43x mos has a rail.
What happened to the G43 😢
Finished
he got traded in lol
Glock 43x for every day concealed carry (slimmer and 10 rds). When Glock creates the 15 rd mags, without having to change out the magazine release. I'll buy 15 rdr's for the 43x (no thanks Shield Arms).
Glock 19 time tested and 15 rds already, for the bump in the night pistol.
dude speak up
This isn’t a real comparison when talking a single stack fail
Glock 43xx 😂😂😂😂
The Glock 43XXX will definitely get railed! 🤣
Get a mic..sound is like a mouse.
will do
This glock is different from the one I got from *glockworld* on wickr the one I got have switch them told me it's a new gun 🔫
