I would also recommend taking you mags apart & spray the Mag body & Mag Spring with Liquid Graphite (Pencil Lead). Make the mags run super smooth. I do this to ALL of my mags & have had Zero Malfunctions in my S15's. Just a suggestion.
Got my 43x and basically got everything on the first 43x build you made. People I hand it to says it’s the most comfortable glock they ever held. Thank you for your suggestions and informative reviews.
the 43x is the most comfortable Glock I've ever held. I thought my 19x felt good but i snagged a 43x a couple weeks ago and it makes the 19x feel like a brick in my hand lol.
Best gun reviewer on youtube imo. Your understanding of the fundamentals of video shooting with lighting, color and sound! Plus the dope builds with great aesthetics paired with concise reviews are a huge step up compared to most guntube. Hope your channel blows up so you can keep cranking out content.
I just want to say i love the quality videos you always put out. I can tell you pay attention to the slightest detail and you make your videos so pleasing to watch. I also love how much you care about your viewers by making a website and uploading your whole gun setups on there. With links! you are a great content creator and I thank you for these amazing videos that give a bunch of detail. Keep it up.
first gun i’ve ever heald in my hands today on my break at work. i felt it calling my name. I’m a 6”4 dude that works out, this thing feels great in my clutches
The screw affecting the extractor problem was the same thing that happened to me on my P80 g19, it made sense after I looked at it in more detail but thank god it wasn’t something else! Glad I wasn’t the only one with this issue! 😅
Though I’m sure Goon tape is great we can’t forget the tried and true Howies hockey tape. Dude started it in his parents basement and has continued to produce great quality tape. Company also sponsors PeeWee hockey teams while giving kids a chance to play the sport. Excellent video as always. Best firearms content creator on the RUclipss!
@@jamesmoore8873 I have went through multiple different sets of sights, both regular height and suppressor height on my non MOS 43x, not sure why others are saying it has to be the MOS version, it's simply not the case. The only difference between MOS and non is the ability to run an optic, and the added MOS rail for the ability to run accessories on the MOS. You can 100% add suppressor height sights on both the 43x and 43x MOS.
Birchwood casey aluminum black works really good on the holosuns and steam lights btw…gives it a slight ghosting effect to the lettering. Super easy to do
I have bought 2 of the gen 2 S15 mags and the Shield Arms' own steel mag catch. Each mag I've tested with defense loads, there was 1 failure to feed, which was solved with a tap and rack. From then on, I had ZERO malfunctions with at least 2 more fully loaded mags +1 in the chamber of assorted defense loads and then over 300 rounds of assorted FMJs. So far, I'm happy with what I got. I may get a 3rd S15 mag with the 5 round extension or giggles
Glad I could help with the extractor comment. Assuming it was my comment you listened too lol. I at first wanted to go with the G43X and a comp but I ended up going with the G48 MOS and I LOVE.
Glad to hear someone got the S15 mags to work. I picked up 3 along with the premium mag catch. And had nothing but problems just function testing them with SnapCaps. My problem with them was that the mag follower was not probably interfacing with the slide stop/release. Causing misfeeds, jamming and failure to lock open on the last round. Also the geometry of the magazine just seemed off to me. It didn't properly fit in the magazine well, seemed to loose and rattled around. But I was able to return everything and get most of my money back. hopefully they'll do an update in address the problems people are having. Cuz I really wanted these things to work... O well, Factory mags and plus threes from the Glock Store are working just fine.
Likewise I had the same issues with mine and I wasn’t able to return them bc I actually shot rounds through them and I sent them back to get tested and of course SA said they were fine and sent them back to me. I sold them and sticking with OEM just carry another mag.
I had the same problems, as bad as I want to use my s15 mags but everytime I hit the range I have malfunctions. I'm going back to oem. I'm comfortable with ten rounds that works all the time.
I have the exact same 43X MOS build except I run an Agency Arms premier line threaded barrel. I love the Johnny Glocks Combat system and the Vex shoe. Definitely takes some getting used to but it's about as good as a Glock trigger can be. I dig the Goon Tape on the Talon grip, I might steal that look!
Really basing my obsession over this model on your videos, going to shoot one this week compared to a p365 as well, I appreciate the quality but relatable nature of your content! Please keep it up my friend.
I was starting to get excited to hear a fix for my shield arms mags constantly jamming…. But I don’t even have an optic or an MOS for that matter and mine still jam at least twice per mag. Going back to OEM and giving PsA dagger mags a try.
I’ve done this build almost exactly just don’t have the silencer. Just can’t afford that but everything else works beautifully. Thank you for all of the advice!
Bro, I stumbled upon your video just to get some info on a Glock 43x. Great video btw. But your outro message really stuck with me, man. I appreciate you for making this content and I subscribed. Thank you 🙌
I had the same issues with the s15 mags and shield sent me the premium mag release and it solved the problem the s15 mags have been flawless since the switch
I don't think it's the mag release that's causing the malfunction. I had the standard steel release and fired the 2 OEM Glock mags in it with no malfunction. The mag release is only meant to hold the mag and drop it free.
Just found your videos after getting my 43x mos, really enjoying your videos/content, got a feeling my 43 will end up very similar lol. Thanks for the content got my sub.
About to take the online course today for my ltc, and will be getting a 43 mos beginning of dec. glad I got to convince my girl to allow a gun in the house for your same reason you got into guns. Badass video brother 👍🏼
Best channel ever!! 👊I had the same issue with my Glock 22 when i swapped the original mag-release button with a new one built in alluminum. It destroyed the magazine-cacth in both my magazines, so i needed to buy two new magazines. Actually i'm running the Strike Industries polymer mag-release button, it works and feels great, without having any type of issues :)
I’ve been carrying a 43x for 5months now and I like it. I don’t like the 10+1 capacity and i was considering the shield arms mags but they are unreliable :( . So I got a Glock +3 extension. Ive shot 500+ rounds thru it and the thin handle made it difficult to get a good grip so…talon grips! The 19x feels way better in hand and while shooting than the 43x imo. I could only imagine that the Glock26 feels the same or if not close to the same as the 19x. I think a 26 with a extension would better suit my needs/wants 😂
Honestly the Glock 26 with the plus 2 is a really good option for carry. I would prefer it over the 43X simply because it’s reliable. The shield arms mags have issues and I don’t feel comfortable carrying a mag that I can’t trust my life with.
Ever since I saw your 43x in another video I've really wanted to build one. Unfortunately my distributors don't have any 43X MOS's in stock which stinks but hopefully I'll be able to build one soon because I love the premise of a subcompact with the ability to shoot silenced. In its place, for now, I'm getting parts together to do a custom P365X Macro build which I'm excited about.
Night fission has very good customer service, I bought a used Glock 19x that had NF sights on it, that night I noticed one of the rear dots was dead, I contacted them, they asked for pics and sent me a new rear sight free within a few weeks
Great and fun stuff! We should advise people not to mess with the factory settings if 43x will be their edc, don't fix what's not broken...and that thin baby is the best Micro-subcompact outhere! I've used only johnny's conector, and it made a world of difference while keeping 100% reliability.
Thanks for this video; I definitely appreciate your comments at the end. Also, thank you for the holster info on your site. I've been looking for a good holster for concealing and Black Arch looks perfect for fitting the TLR-7 Sub light.
Great review bro. I’ve carried glocks for years. I’ve been considering the p365x macro but after watching this I’m thinking about replicating your setup. Shocked that the shield arms mags are sucking. I just got two 9rnd for my g43.
Goon tape is awesome, but if you grip like I do, the glue squeezes through the pores of the tape and eventually sticks to my hands. So, I've tried kinesiotape and it's more spongy and durable than the goon tape. Try it out and tell me what you think. Mueller is a great brand for cheap at Walmart.
God I wish I could get the s15 mags to work. Running a completely stock G43x MOS with the metal mag catch and I couldn't get through a single mag without a jam or misfeed. Had to just go back to OEM mags :(
I noticed the train with purpose shoe on the kit page and was curious if it fits the gen5 G48 because the lower should in theory be exactly the same as the 43X. Has anyone else asked about that shoe? I ordered one earlier today and they already got it shipped.
Thanks for the vids man! I picked up the Empire magwell and love that thing. Definitely adds extra grip. And dope shirt btw, BLKGUNCO are friends of mine. Super dope company!
It’s probably just an 8th an inch but I would send an email to CHPWS for exact measurements though! I can’t seem to find anything online and mine are lock tight in.
I purchased that exact mounting plate, and the screws were the same length. I contacted the company and they said they have no idea why anyone would put a shorter screw. They said it makes no difference.? They further went on to say they’ve never even heard of that issue
Whaaaaaaaaat!? That’s so strange! Now I’m trying to think back about how in the world I got 1 screw shorter than the other because I definitely didn’t buy anything outside of stuff from CHPWS. So that’s weird.
I have a G43XMOS and I love it. I like Safariland ALS and all of my other pistols have that for holsters. I can not find an OWB Safariland holster for this pistol. Any suggestions?
Doing a similar build but I’m doing a Timney alpha series comp trigger , stippling, and a rmsw glass edition because it will sit flush with Glock 43x mos and don’t have to send slide off to get milled down for 507k but then again might do it anyway if ima get it stippled
dumb question but the CHPWS adaptor is for being able to mount the 507k or does it serve a different purpose? just interested why its needed. thanks man! love your stuff!
If you dont plan on using s15 mags would you still purchase the s15 premium catch? my thinking as long as the mag is metal it should work with a metal mag catch
I would also recommend taking you mags apart & spray the Mag body & Mag Spring with Liquid Graphite (Pencil Lead). Make the mags run super smooth. I do this to ALL of my mags & have had Zero Malfunctions in my S15's. Just a suggestion.

Awesome thank You for the show and tell

Best to create a Rumble account due to current RUclips purge. Excellent vids by the way.
What is the holster brand/model?
When purchasing a threaded barrel, are you required to ship it to your local gun store or can you ship it to your address?
How much would you say you had to shorten the mounting screw for the holosun by?

Ofc I have already bought and fit a Hyve mag release and THEN I see this video lmfao. Eurgh.
A buddy of mine who also runs a G48 told me first when I mount an optic to NOT over torque the screw or else it will mess up the gun
I’ve read the 43x isn’t meant to be suppressed. How’d it shoot?
Do u recommend shield arms magwell or empire katana magwell
