- My take on the Glock 48. Overall I found it reliable, decently accurate, and made for concealment. it is not, however, a Glock 19 replacement.
As much as people wanna dislike the 43x and 48. I say get your hands on one and it'll definitely change your mind.
You're absolutely right! I didn't think I'd like them, but I put my hands on a couple and it's like the heavens opened up and I saw the light. With my hand size at least, I felt more control over it than any other.
I didn't like glock either because of the grip.
I held 43x 1 week ago and 48 yesterday .I love them both trying to make my mind up
My vote would be for the 48. They are identical in every way except the 48 has about .5" longer slide. So from my viewpoint there's a negligible weight difference and you get a little longer sight radius. Now, those are my "by the numbers" reasonings, but really I just prefer something a little more beefy in the hand and the 43/43x feel just too small. But that's all personal preference. And honestly, if you buy the 43x and aren't a fan, in most scenarios it's a new enough gun you could trade it to a LGS for a 48 straight up or maybe be out another $50-$100.

I just found this channel yesterday, it is easily my new favorite. You do absolutely excellent reviews. No B.S. and exactly the type of helpful information I want when researching a product. Kudos to you, and thanks for your Service to our Country.
Shield arms is coming out with a 15 round flush fit steel magazine for the Glock 43x/48
MSRP $39.99 supposed to be released this summer. Can’t wait to pick up a couple for my G48, which has quickly become my new favorite carry gun.
hearing that was the last push i needed to pick up a g48
Did they ever come out with one
HopOUT Boy, yes.
HopOUT Boy yes, they work great
G48 + 15 round flush magazine = game changer
I bought the 48 today,the shop had 2 of them and another guy already had dibbs on the one with the factory night sights.I'm satisfied with mine so far.
Mine has the factory night sights they are amazing. Love my g48 w/ 15rd mags.
I am selling my 19. I shoot the 48 wayyyyy better due to the grip of it and my short fingers. 10 rounds of gold spear dot still makes me feel comfortable with any application and minus mags and mag catch my 43 componants are able to he used in it. The grip thickness reminds me of a 1911 and I've always shot slimmer pistols better.
At first I thought the 48 was a stupid idea but after thinking about it I can see why someone would want to carry it.
Right now I alternate between a Shield and a gen4 G19. The Shield is so easy to conceal and super comfortable as well. The G19 is a bit harder for me to conceal but still doable. At times the bulkiness of it feels uncomfortable though. The width especially is very obvious with an IWB setup. I find myself wanting to carry the Shield more because of how slim it is. I have medium to large hands and can grip the G19 fine but it still feels chunky.
Then the G48 comes along. It has the slim profile that I like in the Shield with the benefit of 2-3 more rounds and a longer sight radius. I carry my Shield with the 8 round mag which makes the grip the same length as the G19 so the G48 wouldn't be adding any grip length either.
So the way I see it, the 48 is a nice middle ground between the Shield and the G19. I sacrifice 5 rounds for more comfort but for me 10+1 is good enough and feels better than having 8+1. Just my two cents.
Thanks for the video, brother.
I feel the exact same way. I may be getting a 48 soon.
@@tanman7879 It is a perfect pistol. Picked one up yesterday. I used to joke about putting a 26 on a railrod track to get my single stack 19 that I've wanted for years. They finally made it.
You know what? I had not thought about it in these terms but you are absolutely right. This thing does sit right between my Shield and my G19. I love them both, but had pretty much been splitting the difference by carrying a G26 with a +2 floorplate on it. But then my little brother, who is still working, talked me out of mine for Christmas.
The G19 was my last duty weapon when I was a cop, and to be honest, there isn't a hell of a lot wrong with it. But now that I'm retired and try to stay out of trouble, most days I find myself carrying something a little smaller. I'm not sure if I would get one of these G48's since I have the Shield and I'm probably good with 9 rounds plus a reload, but I can see where someone might choose it. If I was still on the job, I'd still be carrying either the G19 or G26 on or off-duty.
I alternate between the exact same and couldn't agree with you more
You literally explained my thought process perfectly. I love my g19 but find myself carrying the shield more because of the thickness. When I first saw the 43x/48 I disregarded it as pointless. When I heard about the s15 mags it kind of helped sell me on it, hopefully they prove to be reliable. I however am going g43x because my 19 after awhile digs into me while sitting from having a longer slide length than the shield.
I love my gen 5 19. That being said I bought the 48 the day it came out and love it. Mine came with night sights. It’s my new everyday carry gun.
Mine is growing on me. Holster should be in soon, just put some night fision sights on yesterday.
This is a great option for new gun owners, magazine restriction states & people with smaller hands. I’m not giving up my G19 for it but it definitely has a place in the market.
Carry on! 😎
We had very similar experiences - especially the trigger serrations
Serrated trigger shoes 🤮
Just bought a 43x and will probably get the 48. In my opinion you can't have too many Glocks. Call me crazy but it reminds me of the Colt 1911 A1 I carried for years on active duty. I think its the slenderness.
Thank you for ur service
Thats what I was going to say about it's slimness. Feels like a commander 1911
No fair!!! I was told I couldn’t take a G48 or G43x home till Monday, Glock asked dealers to hold them till then. I agonized over it for a while, and got the G48 first. Mine is the Night sight version that adds about $75 to the price. These new models are way more comfortable to the hand, and point more naturally, then the G43.
I see it as replacing the G26/Shield/XDs/ etc.
My G19s are not going anywhere.
Dealer here was letting them go out the 17th, but that might have only been law enforcement sales
I sold an XD and my Shield to get this gun. I don't ever see it replacing my G26 though due to being able to use full size mags. Still, the G48 will have its place in the winter rotation along side my G19 and G30S. My G43 and G26 will be summer carry options.
Carried a single stack for years. Had to give it up, and narrowed down to one gun... a double stack. Learned to conceal it better. No regrets.
J Helmsing, another great no-BS video. Thanks!
Great, and informative as always! I like your videos because you are open minded and give honest reviews.
Glock had specifics in mind as far as concealed carry when they design the 48 I have one and it fits very smoothly under clothing the idea of the smooth texture is so that does not snag on anything when you're trying to draw it in a hurry. if you're going to open carry you might as well carry your good old dependable Glock 19.
Very balanced review.
Thank you very much!
200 rounds and a good cleaning and my G43X has an average 5 lb. trigger pull. Perfect for a carry gun.
I think as you get older, and still want to carry 24/7, the 43, 43x and 48 of the world will be greatly appreciated, at least in my case that's true. At first it was an act of discipline not to grab the model 32 in the morning but after carrying the 43 for some time now, I'm ok with the compromise and looking forward to picking up a 43x and a 48. Another good vid
My biggest problem is that I'm still a full-time LEO and don't want to get in a gunfight with a little gun. When that changes and I retire or travel to a different state as a civilian I'd much rather tote this around simply for defensive / protective purposes.
I hear you. Thank you for what you do, God bless.
@@jhelmsing It's hard to call the 48 a little gun. It's basically a 9mm 1911, glock style. I handled one in the store and I felt the additional width in the frame helped fill my hand over the 43, and I I think it will fit perfectly in the hand for a LOT of people. The only downside here is that it doesn't have full double stack magazine capacity, but as a civilian CCW or police backup gun either of these could fill the role brilliantly.
If you have a 43 already, just get a 48. 43 slide and 48 frame then you have the X.
@@Jmdwifi The 48 slide is longer than the 43X, but I see your point. I own both the 43X and recently got the 48 MOS. Love them both.
This will become my next EDC. A thin glock 19 and I have medium sized hands. There will be smorgasboard of aftermarket for this gun as well. Another youtuber commented that in hi opinion after market mags could easily hold 2 more rounds and still remain flush to the grip.
I agree the mags are underloaded to 10 rounds for the good of the people's republic. They are 10.5 Rd mags as is. They aren't a full stagger though so I'd say +1 will probably stay flush and then overhang for 2 or more.
That's exactly what appeals to me. Thinner, but still the same feel of a "big gun". Can't wait to hold one.
Helmsing consistently has some of better analysis I've found amongst today's reviewers. Fact not opinion based with sound logic. Thanks for your service sir.
I got the G48 because It feels better in my hands than a G19, also I'm skinny and it's easier to conceal for me.
same!
Well it's too late because I already sold my G 19 after carrying it for over 10 years as my Duty Weapon and I did love that G 19 and it served me well! Now after retirement, I purchased a G43 which I use as my EDC and I also recently purchased a G48. I live these slim line Glocks and I waited a very long time for Glock to release these Guns. At my age of 76, I no longer need large double stack guns with 15 or seventeen round magazines. I pocket carry my G43 and I also will carry my G48 in my OWB/ITWB holsters! I could not wait to sell my double stack heavy guns. Thank you Gaston!
Good review. I’m not sure the G48 or G43X are right for me. The G19 Gen 5 has been perfect for my training and EDC use. I think Glock released these for the increase in people getting conceal carry permits and want something slim to carry. With the number of 10 round limit states too, I think it will sell well. I’ll stick to my G19. Thanks for your in-depth review.
I've had G19 gen3 since 2001 when my agency finally wised up and authorized Glocks. I retired in 2003 then 2005 I returned as a courtroom deputy and continued to use my 19, then one day a decision was made that we all had to carry the Glock 22, it was a game changer for me because I never witnessed a Glock malfunction, it did with our issued ammo. I retired for good in 2014 and eventually bought a Glock 43. It was to small to draw smoothly from concealment and I couldn't shoot it worth a damn. I sold it and went back to a small frame 38 for warm weather and when it's cooler my trusty Glock 19. I now have a 48 on lay away I'm hoping it's an improvement over the 43 I got rid of. But like the title of this GOOD video says don't trade in your 19 just yet, that's a mouthful and believe me that 19 gen3 is hard to beat. I also have an Advantage Arms 22lr conversion unit for mine and for backyard practice an Umarex Glock 19 gen3 BB Gun.
G48 and 43x use G43 slides and sights. The slides and sights are the same functionally between all 3 guns.
Great video of the Glock 48. Comes with standard sites, Glock night sites, and ameriglo night sites. Been a Glock 19 gen 5 fan for a few years, just shot my 48 for the first time yesterday. Didn't do too bad, I admit...the 48 fits the hand nicely, but I believe some more trigger time with the 48 will even it all out. You did a cool review, and I'll be looking for more.
I'm digging the looks/style ....
I bought the 48 yesterday and have never owned a Glock.I was making really tight groups at 20 yds with everything stock.The trigger botherd me a little after 150 rounds so I may install a flat face trigger.The sight don't bother me as much
Very good review. I've been eye balling the G48 for summertime carry. Thanks
Got mine blue label and was able to get Ameriglo night sights installed from the factory.
Touchthesky412 are the Ameriglo bold sights worth it?
In my humble opinion, the 48 with the shield 15 rd mags is the best EDC out there. I put two layers of talon grips on for my bigger hands. I love mine but I will keep my 19 and 17 also. Really think some talon grips help it alot.
Thank you for the review. No need for this gun in my tool collection.
I appreciate very much your review on the the G48. I own the 48 ( My first Glock ever) & I’m Definitely looking into getting stippling / gripping for it. I agree with you it is somewhat slick........
Nice review brother. May need to go check this gun out. Also, good meeting you at BA this month. Go figure, small world. 👍🏼
Haha yes, that was very cool! Take care and nice to meet you!
the 48 felt off balance in my hands and the 43x felt perfectly balanced my guess is with the longer barrel on the short frame of the 48 lacks some support at the barrel end
Just got the 48 in Black with Glock Night Sights they do make a after market 15 round mag for it now! Good video.
I own a G48 & carry PSA micro dagger 15 round magazines!!! Zero issues
Great review. You clearly put a lot of thought into it. Very well detailed. I subscribed.
Good vid.Was interested in side by side comparison of Glock 43X to a Glock 19.
Thanks for carifying that the standard 43 slide will fit on the larger 43x or 48 frame. At your recommendation just ordered the 48 and I will put my old 43 slide on the 48 lower, and the 48 slide on standard 43 frame for better concealment.
Yeah thanks a lot...my wife already owns a 43. So you made my decision for me. Looks like I’ll be getting the 48. Thanks brother
I just got the G48 with AmeriGo sights from Glock. They also have the standard night sights.
Keanon Gilliam if I get one I was thinking to go the Ameriglo sights also. How do you like them? Accurate at long distance? They light up nice in the dark?
Loved my Gen 2 Glock 19 sans finger grooves and accessory rails. Sold because it didn't work well with inside pants holsters. This seems like just what I was looking for.
Cool review by law enforcement. I got one and I like it so far. I currently have a 17 for practice and home defense but this will be my carry.
Thanks for a very nice review.
Really enjoy your reviews!
Glock48 grip feels more like Glock45, which is good improvement.
I couldn't disagree more man , it's a 19 size grip & the 45 is a 17. Or are you referring to the way it just feels in your hand cause if that's what's you mean I totally agree. Ny brother is a huge glock hate mainly because if the ergonomics he shot my 43x & 45 & is now on the glock bandwagon
I’m also in law enforcement. I carry a gen4 Glock 22 on duty which I love. I wanted to pick up a new concealed carry gun recently. I looked at both the Glock 48, and 43x but they just did not feel right in my hand, and I did not want to give up capacity. I looked at the Sig P365 but the grip was just to small. Glock 19 is just a little big to carry concealed. I ended up going with the FNS-9c.
I see the G48 as a nice option for those with smaller hands - in particular thinner women. My Wife shoots my G19 fine, but does think it's a bit bulky, and doesn't like the more aggressive grip texture. I plan on renting a G48 for her to try out at my gun club after they get one. I can see it as a perfect fit for a lot of women - and certainly a better option than the diminutive, hard to control semi-autos that too many gun salesmen steer women towards.
I think you’re likely spot on.
100% correct. My wife has smaller hands and loves this gun. I neglected to mention this in the review because it tends to make me sound like a jerk. I'd 100% steer new female shooters to this specific gun. I see some of the Glock ads seem to be marketing it toward an older female demographic.
Really good vid. 👍🏻👍🏻
Being a Police officer I will stick with my G19 or G45. Since I picked up the G45 it is being carried more that the G19. I think the G19 will be seeing more carry time during the summer..But I will pickup a G48 ☺ . Great review.
So, I guess anyone that thinks that a thin and light RELIABLE 9mm with a 10 round mag handgun is not gonna get the job done for personal protection, ALSO would NEVER carry a heavy 1911 with an 8 round magazine. Not to mention the thumb safety and grip safety to deal with! Oh, but 45 ACP is so much more effective than 9mm! Geez... A civilian's carry needs are quite different than LE's needs.
Fantastic video!! Would love to see a video in comparison of the velocity of the 4” barrel of the G48 to the G43X. I am a subscriber 👍👍
It looks like the perfect California gun with its 10 round limit.
I just want the G19 Gen5 MOS, without the Modular Optic System.
Liberty or Death I think they may have a model for your liking.
This is an interesting point. Frankly, Glock gives me pause putting the front serrations and removing the cutout from those models before they rolled out (the two major gripes about the Gen 5). The Glock of yesteryear would have told us to shove it and tabled the idea until the next generation minimum especially since the Gen 5 only recently released. I think it shows to some degree that the pressure from other manufacturers is effecting them. I'm sure some of the executives are still lying passed out on a conference room floor over the MHS loss. It's also interesting that they seem to be steering people to their MOS guns. I think perhaps at some point the MOS guns may be the only model and just become standardized. The Gen 5 34 comes in no other flavors as it is. Their thinking is if you don't use an optic just leave the plate on and I can't say it's an entirely bad strategy.
Thanks for the video and keeping it simple & to the point as always. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Kudos for an excellent review from a retired LEO.
Buy what u can afford , carry something u know u will always walk out the door and not feel uncomfortable wearing at all times and practice shooting . Good ammo, reliable and comfortable gun and practice ur craft shooting. Both of these guns are fine to buy and carry. They both go BANG!!!!
Can't wait to see one. I like the look, and the 10 round is better than my 42. I think it will still conceal pretty well with the right shirt.
Thanks for video. I'm really puzzling now. I choose between the fifth generation G17 model and the G48 model.
But on the G48 model in RUclips there are no videos for complete detailed disassembly.
I really would like to ask you, please could you make a detailed comparison between the fifth-generation G19 model and the G48 model?
Or could you make videos for complete detailed disassembly G48?
Thanks
Sights for that gun ALREADY exist because they are the same sights as the 42/43. But hey if you want to wait until all the company's catch up and update the part description/compatibility.....
I am aware the 43 sights are compatible (I put some on this right after filming). I was referring to the factory installed Bold sights. Happy to see that they downsized those and they are now available for the Slimline guns as well.
I love my g48 mind has night sights Conceals amazing. Same length as gen 5 Glock 19 just thinner. Trigger is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!
Did you know that there is now a Shield S15 G43X/G48 15 round metal magazine that fits them flush. Getting excellent reviews so far. Range reviews are also good on the G43X. Shield recommends that you switch to the anodized black metal mag release they also make because the metal magazine can possibly wear on the factory magazine release over a period of time. The standard Glock mag will work fine using the metal mag release. There are also G43X's with standard black uppers now. I really like mine so far. It won't replace my G19 but does have it's place as a carry handgun.
The 43x and 48 take 43 and 42 sights FYI.
Tossed some trijicon FO sights on mine for the 43
Great video. So the 43x and the 48 are basic,y the same gun only the 48 has a slightly longer barrel? Then I would assume the 43x is the best choice for concealed carry? Thanks again.
48 is a slim 19, the 43x is small like 26/27
Got a glock 48 & shield arms s15 mags. Now I don't even need a glock 19.
Great review as always 👍 .
I am impressed with this gun. I really like the 19 but living in the south the 19 does print under a t shirt which is what everyone wears all year round.
Why do you think the Glock 48 will print any less than a Glock 19? It's the GRIP that prints; not the slide.
Trae UCity bc it’s a good bit thinner and thinner grips print less.
@@2aholes402, I can't deny that fact; but I also cannot deny the following facts. The Glock 19 is 1.26" wide. The Glock 48 is 1.11" wide. That means giving up 1/3 of one's round count, for a 12% savings in width. Personally, I'd opt for a looser T-shirt; but to each his own.
Trae UCity you should buy a 48 or 43x and carry it for a week and then see what you think bubba
@@2aholes402 , Being that my current carry gun is the Sig P365, I'd think, "These guns print a helluva lot more than my P365, because of their long ass grips; and they only hold 10 rounds! And these plastic sights SUCK! I need to purchase some Ameri-Glo or Night Fision sights; and hope someone comes up with a way to mount a weapons light." I've been toting slim, mid-sized pistols with 10 round magazines, since Glock fanboys were obsessed with 17 round magazines with +2 base plates, Bubba. We call them lightweight, Commander sized 1911's. Glock didn't do anything new.
OMG you nailed it on that trigger. Feels like 10-12lbs...hate it. Ordered trigger connector 3.5-5lbs...Much better!
Good review. I’m an LEO as well and bought this at blue label. I’m curious what your thoughts are for the G48 being carried on duty as a plain clothes/detective pistol? I’m a detective and leaning towards thinking this would be a nice option for that. Thoughts?
I think it would be an excellent choice. I don't like smaller guns but I'm very seriously considering carrying my 43X off duty.
The barrel on the G48 is 4.17" due to Canadian laws. In CANADA ""Prohibited handguns include those with barrels shorter than 105 millimetres, and handguns with magazines that hold more than 10 bullets.""
Interesting. This gun is definitely made to fit in low-permissive environments. The mags could have easily been made to be 11 round mags, as it's more like a 10.5 round mag right now (10 rounds fit very easily) so I suspect that 10 round mark was target for similarly restricted areas.
After years of carrying a sixgun, I feel spoiled carrying 10+1 with a backup mag. And if I can get the Shield 15 round mags to work reliably, this could be the last handgun I ever need.
The G48 was actually set up as an import gun for the Canadian market , but Glock is also offering it to the U.S. market as an offset to the 43X
I seriously doubt that the Canadian market is big enough for any company to make a new product geated for us, I'd imagine we're just the beneficiaries of happenstance...
Blake if you look at the specs if fits your market to a T . I read or heard it from a credible source . That’s all I can say ...
Check out Thegunblog.ca
@@thomascarpenter7415 well son of a gun, I take it back - I would have never thought we were that significant in the grand scheme of things for Glock...
I LOVE the stock, Glock sights.
Am I being trolled?
The good news is that now Glock is coming out with a 15 round magazines for the G 48 and the 43. Changing the release button from the standard plastic to metal and you got a Glock 19 👍 ……concealed carry
I like the 48 over the 19. The 19 doesn't fit my hand as well as the bigger 17 or the smaller 48. I've had it for nearly a year and it is my EDC. I sold the 19 and don't miss it at all.
I didn't like glocks for a long time do to the bulky grip. I got into them when they introduced the g42. I've since bought several other glocks and have learned to live with the bulky grip. But had this been available earlier, i think i would have gotten it and left it at that. (I hope SHIELD ARMS can release the flush fit 15 round mags to the public)
I'm considering the Glock 48 but also waiting to see if the Avidity Arms PD10 is ever going to arrive at stores ....
Good review, any idea when a 48 will be available in MOS for a red dot ?
Thank you
There is a after market magazine that holds 15 rounds for the G48 n G43X it's from shield arms looks promising
Great review. The only issue as we all know is GLOCK is just doing what Kahr Arms has done for the past many years. Still good guns but not anything new to the market
Are you familiar with the Overwatch Precision trigger? Flatface trigger shoe promotes a straight back trigger stroke. Less likely to pull muzzle left in my experience. There are lots of flatface triggers. Robar guns recommended this one because Overwatch maintains all the Glock safeties that other designs do not.
Are you going to review the new fridge?
That's actually an old GE fridge from inside the house. Water outlet continually freezes, motor makes funny noises when defrosting, but it still keeps refreshing beverages cold. I'd give it a 6/10.
I have a Glock 43 and a S&W Shield 2.0...I’m fixing to change the springs to both for magnut springs.
But would buy a 43X any day if it comes in black.
The grip needs stippling but the frame is a bit too thin, not sure that would be good. I also don't like the fact everything is miniaturized, may not hold up as.well
Hey, I just found your video here, and watched it all. And wanted to give you my thoughts. I want to address your particular feelings and views that you have expressed here a few times. Your used to shooting the thicker, heftier glock 19 and as you have said, the smaller 43. Which is small, but hefty in its design. So the discomfort you are feeling with the 48 is the think, narrowness of it. IT really is the glock 1911 : / that has to be what glock was thinking when they designed the glock 48. So its a totally different gun, than the modern day combat had guns such as the glock 19.. And as you know, but most likely dont see or consider because you are a police officer. The smaller guns , the sub compact guns are made for concealment carry, and as much self defense power and ease of use as possible in a small concealing gun. YOU being a police officer dont need to worry so much about concealment, ( i understand you do want to have the best concealment probably, that you can get ) But if you werent a police officer, you would definitely feel differently, and you wouldnt have the sense of " power and authority" that you are used to. Big difference for the rest of us.. So those are some of the reasons you are not really enjoying this gun. And you shouldnt. why should you use anything else? You said so yourself several times, you are trained and very experienced and obviously very comfortable with the bigger Glock 19.. And a hand gun being a tool for self defense in emergency situations? You should be comfortable with it, and understand it, and know it, and feel very close with it. SO just keep that and carry that, and thats it.. Alot of people keep forgetting that guns, and particularly all GLOCK guns, are made for self defense! that is It. People have created other uses, like target and action competitions, but the truth is a gun is made to protect you. And i think this is very important to keep in mind, because when looking at the Glock guns, you will then understand once and for all, that GLock has designed thee best combat hand gun, for any and all situations and circumstances, conditions, enviorments, elements, etc.. To guarantee reliable, dependable, and effective self defense if every needed!!!! That has been tried, tested, and proven true for over 40yrs. now. And all of the other companies have only imitated and duplicated Glocks design! BUT ARE NOT ABLE TO LAST AS LONG PER CONSISTENT FUNCTIONALITY RATE! Some are close! yes.. BUT!!! GLOCK IS STILL THE SINGLE BEST AT WHAT IT DOES! Making reliable, dependable, tried, tested and proven true, consistently effective, in ANY situation, self defense hand gun!!! And lastly, Glock has a model for everyones needs! : ) ( ps. I do not work for or am associated with Glock in any way ) Im just aware of what they have done and gave to us and appreciate it, and dont want people to lose sight of that.. We shouldnt live in a world where we need to be concerned about self defense and consistent reliability and effectiveness in a tool called a hand gun. But since we do! Im very happy GLock came along to help us with deal with it, if we ever have to....
I have a 19 well a couple and a 43 and now a 48 and I’ll tell yah I like the 48 a lot more then the other two, I do have 2 of the shield arms s15 mags and I have had zero issues with it so I trust them for sure after about 500-600 rounds through each of the two, I like the 48 a lot it’s prob my fav Glock to date, and mine is a tac driver but it’s just me so idk,
Did you have any issue with the stock sights? I found that my G48 has too tall of a front sight. When aligned properly the point of impact is way low. I find if I align the sights with the rears about 2/3 rds of the way up the front instead of a flat straight line it's about right.
Excellent review jimmy! 17L review?
Is it just me or is the Glock 48 essentially what one would call a Glock 19 SF? Kinda like some of the 45 acp models...
New to your channel. Good review. It’s a toss up between the 48 and gen 5 mos.
Gen 5 MOS review coming up!!
I like the new 43x and 48. Add a quality set of sights, a quality trigger and some grip tape and it's almost as nice as my Kahr P9. ;)
@J Helmsing - would you choose the Glock 48 or the Glock 26 gen 5? Thanks for the video and cheers!
26 Gen 5 *(ducks tomatoes flying across the room)
J Helmsing so don't trade the 26 for the 48....
@@MDpolo I can't say that for sure, it all depends on your preference. The 48 carries more comfortably because it is thin. The 26 carries like a hockey puck. The 26 has a better trigger, better grip texture for shooting, better recoil control and can take larger mags without issue. Those are the reasons I'd side with the 26 over the 48.
J Helmsing many thanks J. I'm in agreement. The only thing I dislike about the 26 is the thickness. I shoot it well although I only have 1 box through it.
J Helmsing also, just FYI, I had to turn the volume to the max on my iPad to hear you. Tried it on my laptop and same. Could be my equipment but happened on both devices. Cheers!
Go ahead n sell the G19 cuz now there are 15rnd clips made for the G48. I got a few n love it.Yeah buddy!
Take apart one of the Glock 17 magazines use just the metal insert inside of the Glock 48!
Glock needs to use steel mags and stuff more rounds in there
I ain't selling shit.
I don't care what model of what or what manufacturer makes. My G19 gen3 with night sights and a TLR-7 is my ride or die.
My 19 is my go to but I carry my 48 on normal days, and not going to Memphis
Thanks for the review. Single stack for nearly same price of double stack, no texture grip? No thanks.
Nice job,as always.
Glock 43 sighs work on the 48
