Hickok45, can you request a S&W M&P AR-22 from Bud's and do a review on it? Thanks a bunch. Love what you do
Slooow down a bit. This should be the hickok45 show. With 2 second pauses. Great video. Keep em comin'. Just feels like someone is rushing you...
Magnus Von Manthei I’m not 100 % sure but in the past H45 has been an Alabama Pocket Holster man & that’s what those look like. I have one myself and they do the job just fine.

"Let's smoke some more pot!" "They just sit in a basement and hate everything." Granddad jokes are on point, good sir. Thx for the video
I see your point about this gun being too big for a pocket gun. Why I like this gun is because I carry around a G17 all day on duty, so off duty I usually carry a G19 in an holster on my hip. But I like to carry often inside the waistband, which the G19 gets a little heavy and thick carrying IWB. So the thinner, lighter G43X is perfect for IWB carry, with 10+1 rounds vs. 6+1 if I went with the G43. So that's why I like it. Love your videos, keep it up.
Good point. Sometimes "thin" and light is just very welcome.
I was thinking the same thing. He jumped from pocket right to holster. IWB is where the 43x makes sense.
I carry iwb off duty. Been looking for a thin pistol and this appears to be perfect.
And Shield is making 15r mags for it already. The p365 and 365xl were just too thin for me but the 43x fits my hand very well.
bobbyfanman17 thanks for your feedback. Have you ever carried a G26 IWB? Curious how this firearm compares to the G43x as a shooter (muzzle flip + felt recoil) and from the standpoint of IWB comfort??
The 43x quickly became one of my favorite firearms for EDC. It is the most accurate gun in my collection next to my Beretta 92FS. I have never regretted purchasing the 43x. Great gun!
has the most accurate mags too..... smfh
@@ralphhardyman1148 So you’re gay…..
@@ralphhardyman1148 explain what you mean by accurate mags
@@TeamRocketWes its a joke hickok regularly makes on this channel. people just talk nonsense about what affects accuracy.
My 43x was trash, it shot horrible groups.
My 26 gen 5 is the complete opposite I freaking love it
I used to carry the 43 when the 43x came out I was so excited. I love it. It shoots great holds more rounds, and I love having a bigger grip.
Thanks for reviewing the 43X. I've been an LEO for 23 years and a dept range officer for 17 years. I've carried quite a few different firearms over the years and carry both a G19 and a G43. I bought the 43X and it fits me very well and is now a belt gun for me. It's the perfect fit for me. I've always been partial to the 1911 and the 43X has a bit of a Glock x 1911 feel to it. 11 rounds along with either 1 or 2 spare mags on my belt suits me fine. I did put Glock night sights on mine (I have seen polymer front sights damaged on carry guns). So far I have 500 rounds thru mine with no issues (115,124,147). I don't expect everyone to like the 43X, but it's one heck of a compact pistol....... As always...great review.
The more I shot the G43x and the G48, the less I was inclined to be too critical of them. Regardless of whether they fit exactly what I want for myself, I just kept getting the feeling that these things would be very popular. Regardless of all the negatives I talked about, there's no way to ignore that both are handy little pistols that are not too heavy or two thick. And like all Glocks, they go bang every time.
@@hickok45Agree with your point. But your comment about 365 reliability is a concern. If reliability is in question with any firearm, DON’T CARRY IT. You’ve gotta have faith in your carry firearm! For me, the 365 grip is a dealbreaker, especially since it requires me to shift my grip for a clean mag drop.
One of the first handguns I've had the pleasure of shooting. Thin and light like the 43, but doesn't have the uncomfortably tiny grip. Still a tad snappy due to the light weight, but not at all unpleasant to shoot.
Still partial to the black slides myself.
Black slides matter, Black slides matter.
The 43x will function 100% with a 43 slide, barrel and guide rod/spring. Black cerokote would also make the slide black. Problem solved. I'm so sick of hearing people with thier "it's not black. I want it to be black." quible.
Tan or bronze slides are my thing.
@@jakem4579 Honestly chief, don't really care. It's the color I prefer and we both know they would've sold more initially if it was black. Feel me?
To me, that bright slide cheapens the appearance of the gun, kind of a bell and whistle effect. A glock should all be about business. Thanks for the vid Hickok, John.
Hickok could pocket carry a 17
... 17L with a 33 rounder I might add.
I think Hickok could pocket carry a shotgun..lol
Indeed, Hickok use a handheld 20mm vulcan as ccw
Well, I think he could actually carry an A-10 Thunderbolt
This should not have made me laugh as hard as it did lol
Traded my 43 for a 43X at the gun show, excellent all around. Comfortable, holds 10 in the mag, wonderful CC pistol.

Hickok45 is a badass?? Ah, no lol. Nice old guy for sure.
I watch him because he's decidedly not one of those loud wannabe tacticool, know-it-all, "badasses" that seem to populate the gun video community. He's just a relaxed, knowledgeable, humorous man, with amazing aim sharing his passion with his viewers.
Picked up a 43x last weekend. I'm in love!
Hickok low key the biggest “pothead” on RUclips.
I see the 43X and the 48 as a more Ideal IWB carry gun because it is thinner yet it has a relatively full size length grip for a more positive grip when unholstering under stress. For people that are in a 10 round restricted state it is a less printing option to the G19 for concealment.
Perfect Analysis
Never fail to impress. Great shooting and commentary! Keep up the good work 👏
This man is the reason I bought my first Glock!
I'm in northern Wisconsin and you get me through the winter!
I recently got into reloading last spring with the Redding T7 press and have been upping my long range game considerably!
I recommend it for anybody like me. I'm disabled but still feel like I need to be out hiking in the mountains and shooting and hand loading kind of gives me a reason to keep going.
Keep the videos coming, sir. They are quite the morale raisers for me.
Thanks!

What a treasure it's been to watch you and John on your channel over the years. (from chilly CT).
I love your videos sir. I check my phone at lunch and see you have a new video posted and I catch myself looking forward to watching it and hearing your ideas and opinions. Just wanted to take the time to thank you for all that you do for us in the shooting world. Look forward to your next video.

Hickok45 thank you for always bringing great reviews. When i started watching gun reviews on RUclips a few years ago, you were the first person I watched and subscribed too. I always look forward to your next review, God bless you sir.
I have to say really good review on this one. Thanks Hickok45
Glock. The king of reliability
As a “belt” gun, OWB, I’d agree with your observations. But (you knew there had to be a but), as an IWB or AIWB this gun rocks! That’s the niche this fits best.
Yep, the thinness of the G43x and the G48 would be nice for IWB.
I've EDC'd a G19 for longer than I can remember. It's a great firearm and fantastic carry gun. I'm looking forward to adding the G48 (a/k/a Skinny Nineteen) to my carry rotation. It will be especially nice for the six months of summer we have here in Flyover Country.
Everything I wanted to know about this gun Hickok went over it.
My wife and I just got to shoot this tonight at the range. Aside from it being a little snappy, it was actually a fun shooter for sure. For someone who can’t see all the beauty of this firearm, my wife approved for the most part. She killed it st the range with a bit of coaching! Keep doing what you do and I’m so glad our opinions are equal of this firearm. Glock did a good job with it for sure!
43x with an s15 is my daily carry now for over a year. Best carry pistol ive ever owned, and a great compact way to have 15+1 on you.
Did you swap out the mag release for the S15 mags?
@@triptre3638 yes. Originally i swapped to their first gen aluminum mag catch. The aluminum one started wearing a bit much after a while and i replaced it with their current steel mag release and its been perfect.

Ever shot someone?
appreciate your honest review. first time seeing your videos but I will subscribe
Always answer the questions I have before a purchase. Thanks brother!
Just held a Glock 43X today. I think the rubberized Talon grip would be a great edition. My EDC is. Glock 26. I carry Appendix so the thinner G43X is looking good.
This is my first Glock & I just picked it up last month, I dig it. Its a sweet EDC gun.
There's not one of yalls videos I've ever disliked. Even if I'm not a fan of the firearm, you're still very informative and entertaining
Totally agree. Love you Hickok45 and love to pocket carry my Sig 365 too....
I think your thoughts are spot on with the 43x, I have many of the same findings with this gun. Thank you for a real and honest review and not just sugar coating everything because it’s a glock
Good video, I was considering the 43X or 48 but I love my 43 for pocket carry so I’ll just stick with it. I noticed your belt buckle, very good probability that my friend Russel Hen made it, he made thousands and sold them at gun shows and in gun magazines. He has since passed and is missed. I just recently moved back home to TN, go Vols
You’ve made me feel better about a number of different models I’ve carried. Can’t thank ya enough
This is my everyday carry. Highly recommend this gun for personal protection, ease of use, and incredible comfort just sitting in your hand. I swapped out the mag to hold more ammo, but everything else is absolutely fantastic with this handgun.
Don't forget conceal carry. Lots of us carry appendix or inside the belt on our hips. For those uses, double stacked pistols aren't as comfortable. The 43X looks like the perfect fit. 11 rounds, thin enough to be worn inside the belt and a grip long enough to get a good hold on it.
@@waholoopesorry74 the weight is more uncomfortable on a double stack no matter your shape
"They sit in the basement and hate everything."
LOL.
I always enjoy Hickok's review!
Been waiting for this video !! Keep it up hickok
Before I bought my first carry gun I rented Glocks, Sigs, Springfields, Walthers, CZs, and M&Ps. Put as much ammo as I could afford through all of em for months...and nothing was unreliable. Brand really makes no difference when you’re talking about the top 5 or so. I just tell people to buy whatever they shoot the best...and I do not shoot Glocks well.
Pick you company of choice , then the model , then read the forums , all the mass produced polymer pistols have issues .. you shot a sample size of ONE , models that have been out for a few years have far less issues then the latest wonder gun
Have to agree. I can pick up other brands and shoot them better out of the box at least. All of the brands you mentioned are great guns though in my opinion.
Cole Byre funny thing was I was shooting my cz75 sp-01 tactical for 6 mo the and then I rented a glock 19 gen 5 and I shot it even better than any of my own guns. Idk if it was just a lucky day cuz I was destroying all the rentals that day. I felt like someone must have modified it or something like that. I never liked glocks till I shot that one. Now I don’t mind it. Kinda want one but I want a 1911 more.
I would buy all of them!
I don't dislike Glock. They're okay. It's preference. However, for me, there are others I prefer over Glock. The G19 was my "go to" choice. I rented a Sig P320 compact . . bought it the same day. Been a Sig fan ever since. The CZ P10c is another I prefer. However . . I respect those who prefer Glock.
I love my glock 43x. This is my first handgun. Just started women basic training. People ask what are you shooting with, I said Glock 43x, and they say wow. Thanks for the video, I really enjoyed it.
Carla Howard Hi Carla. Have u tried pocket carry with this? If so whats your impressions?
Asking for my daughter.. what do these 43x sale for in 9mm??
Love the range. Can’t buy a gun without listening to his input👍🏼
Held a 43x today, and it's been on my mind ever since. Might need to buy it.
As newcomer to the world of handguns this is a good starting place The grip feels right. Fired S&W, Sig, Glock19, the 43x felt good.
The shield arms mag is a game changer though. You have the same capacity as the G19 with a smaller frame. The 43X is the best one to carry IMO if you have the S15 mag from Shield Arms. HUGE difference.
aftermarket magazines are a no go on carry guns
@@niquemarshall
Why a no go?
@@niquemarshall huh?
@@tomriggs699 aftermarket mags are not a good idea for a carry gun. they tend to jam a lot

Back before the Ammolypse of 2020. Those bowls lookin full! Great Vid, got myself a black 43x. Love it!
Thanks for the review on the Glog 43X. Getting myself one. Love the feel, not to heavy for me to carry. Long enouth for me to grip. And its a Glog...
The moment i got the chance to lay my hands on the G43x , i fell in love with it right away and its going to be my next purchase for my ccw. The Sig p365 is also a candidate but its just so way mighty expensive around here for me to consider. Thanks for this review sir
A good female friend of mine has the P365 and loves it but too small for my hands. The 43x is probably my next.
Let’s smoke some more pot🤣🤣🤣 cracks me up every time
“Let’s smoke some more pot” 🤣😂
Great review Hickok45! My friend just bought this 43X and I am itching to get one neXt! Thank you for the insight! 💥💥💥💥
Truly well-informed and smooth presentation. Thank you.
as someone that likes to carry IWB because i dont like wearing a lot of warm clothes (and if I do, i remove my coat while indoors) i find the glock 43 a great iwb carry gun. now, im not 6’8, i am 5’8 with an above average build. I carried the 27 for some time IWB and it was too fat to have wedged inbetween my waist and pants. i can see this being a good IWB conceal carry for people that want more capacity and the reliability of the glock. the longer grip will print more easily under a tshirt, but that is up to you if you want more rounds. for me, i cant get to pocket carry until we venture into the realm of 380s which i dont really care for. a decent compromise between the 19 and 43.
Same bro same..
@@cccjsw I find the 43 for versatile, as for as concealment goes... I'm in south florida so I think the 43 is a no brainer, summer clothes all year round. If I wanted more rounds I just add an extention which I can remove at any moment.
It’s an accurate reliable shootable pistol in a very efficient size. Love the 48 I’ve got.
Best gun reviews ever! Plus the added comedy is great!
I"m so glad you gave this demonstration. I'll be deciding between the 43X and the 48 in the near future. Please do a comparison between those two!
Awesome unbiased video as always Hickok. Looks like its time to pick up a new Sig P365. Keep up the great work!
I didn't know anything about the P365 or the 43x. I handled both of them yesterday, along with several other single stack pistols. The size to capacity of the P365 really stood out. Also had one of the nicest triggers. I'm also thinking that the P365 is the way to go.

“Some people just sit in the basement and hate everything” hahaha so damn true 🤣

I love it as well. Im a glock guy, I sometime carry my glock 30 Gen 4 but it can feel big, the Gen 43x, feels perfect
I watch ALL of your videos! You are the best!
Internet people claiming hickok45 is a Glock "fan(man)" haven't been paying attention. Among the many themes of Hickok's channel (safety, education, proper firearm handling, defending the 2nd Amendment, smoking pots and destroying garbage sodas 2 liters at a time) there has been a running theme of his quest for the best combination of small+light+capacity+reliability for a carry gun. His fandom of Glock comes from the fact that Glock has long been the best combination of small+light+capacity+reliability. The P365 has changed that (assuming they worked out the reliability part).
lkjh00on89 so he is a Glock fan. Not examining whether that’s right or wrong.
@@fuzzytraveler he gave an honest assessment of the new Glock. He even stated he thinks the Sig is a better carry option for him but he says that it's overall a good gun and that if you like it use it.
@@pandax75 I didn't say hicock is not objective or anything. Just says he IS a Glock fan. Nothing wrong with it. I like his videos and reviews, hence I'm here.
@@fuzzytraveler From what I've seen he isn't. He has his standards and Glocks meet a lot of them. Just because someone doesn't bad mouth Glocks does not make them a fan.
I ordered a Glock 43x with factory night sights, from Buds, 2 weeks ago, the Thursday, right before Christmas. It arrives at my local FFL, today, on the 2nd. I own several firearms and love almost all of them. I also own a lot of Glocks, and prefer them as my conceal and carry firearm over any other firearm. The department that I work for uses Glock 22’s, and seeing the durability and reliability of Glocks, is why I trust them.
I bought a Sig Sauer P365, about 2 months ago. It was either in the end of October, or the beginning of November. Since owning it, I have had nothing but issues with it and don’t trust it. I originally bought my P365, for my wife to carry. She has really small hands and my firearms that I own that have double stack magazines feel very uncomfortable to her. So now, I will have her try the 43x out. If she likes it, then that will be her carry firearm. If not, then I’ll keep on looking for something for her. I will also have my daughter try it out too. If the 43x, also feels good in her hand, then I’ll buy her one as well. But, she won’t be able to carry it until she turns 21.
With what Hickok, said about the 43x, being to big to carry as a pocket gun and it being a belt carry only firearm, I have to disagree with him. This is a great firearm for women. The thinner, single stack frame, make it easier for them to carry. It allows them to have a full grip, and allows them to carry at least 10 rounds and eventually, 15 rounds, when Shield Arms releases their S-15, 43x metal magazine. With the 43x, you also still get the long term Glock reliability and durability. But for women, they can conceal the firearm in a purse, ankle holster if they are wearing pants, inside the waste band either on the hip or appendix carry. In their vehicle, that may be a smaller vehicle and have very minimal storage etc.. Personally, I think Glock did an outstanding job on both the 43x, and 48. I cannot wait to get mine at then end of the day today, after I get off work. Then this weekend, assuming that the weather is nice, I will be taking my wife and daughter to the range and am going to start training them.
I looked for this video because I just got the Glock 43X American Flag collector edition to replace my Glock 19 for daily concealed carry but I noticed that I tend to pull left too! So I am not alone! I do love the 43X, 500 rounds now with no issue. Thank you :)
Great review. You pointed out something I wish others would grasp, meaning there's no such thing the right gun for everyone, just the right gun for you. My first gun was a Glock 19, but I quickly realized it was too large for me to carry. It is now my home defense gun. Next I got a Taurus PT 709 Slim, but also found it to larger for me to carry. It became my vehicle gun and has been as reliable as my Glock 19, over 5,000 rounds without failure. However, I've now replaced it with the Glock 43X. Obviously it is reliable, but clearly more accurate than the 709. As for me, my EDC is the Taurus Spectrum, over 2,500 rounds without failure. Many would hate it, but for me, it is the right EDC. So my word to new shooters is find the right gun/guns for you. If it isn't right for you, you simply want practice or carry. Thanks for your wise review of the 43X.
It's for IWB! Conceals adequately, feels awesome with talons, and it's my favorite pistol to carry ever.
It easily carries in a pocket holster. Dissappears in cargo tactical shorts.
best IWB carry pistol on the market with a full grip no extensions. That's one happy pinky finger. Fits like a dream.
What's it got in it's pocketses? Yes.... my precious.
One Glock to rule them all.
Needed this video thanks hickok!!👌
Happy birthday hickok45.. hope it is a blessed one
Hi there! Can you review the 460 Rowland in 1911 platform? Thank you and keep the good work!
Surprised at how Out of the Box Accurate" mine is. Great trigger too. Like it MORE that Sig's 365. The 2-Tone color kinda grows on ya. They DO now make a 43X ALL BLACK.
Finally getting my cc permit after putting it off for years.. Getting the 43x of 48 after getting a feel for them when i go back to the shop Wednesday to pick up my new shotgun. Thank you
A good concise review Hickok45.
Carrying appendix is what changes the play for the 43x and 48.
I love my 43X. Perfect for IWB, plenty accurate, very pleasant to shoot.
The explanation from the firearms judge himself delivered to us students as if he were an English teacher in the past that moonlighted as a part-time Sheriff's Deputy.
An honest and objective opinion by an individual without an agenda. Absolutely amazing coming from someone who's an avid Glock aficionado.
Summed up very simply... hater's are going to hate.
Not even concerned with the proverbial fanboy battle, "this is a pocket gun and this is a belt gun".
Carry the tool that you need... but make sure it's a hammer.
And I don't even like people from Kentucky! Well, not exactly true... I'm just jealous of his range (edited in... and skills)
A superb, unbiased review of the Glock 43X.
I have a 19x. Love it. Never malfunctions no matter what ammo I feed it. Clean as a whistle. She's cherry.
19x is my favorite Glock. I shoot her the best.
Just picked up my 43X today... at this point mags are hard to find... but in time... I'm sure I will score some! I'm a big-time Ruger fan... but I have a Glock 17 & 19 in the Burnt Bronze and now the 43x in the two-tone!
Dont think there out yet
Check out gun mag warehouse
that's odd.....I wonder how I just received 5 of them in the mail......
Timothy Smith Mag shack has them in stock...
@S. Rodriguez agree they may be reliable not not for the prices..
Love this gun. Will have it as soon as I can find it in my local shops. Glock forever
Spot on review. Great firearm but no longer a pocket gun.
Was waiting on this video.
My 48 is easier to manage and therefore more accurate for me than my G43. My 48 has become my conceal carry. It feels similar to my 1911's. I'm sold on the 48! Also, I always change the connector to 3.5 without any spring changes. It makes it just right for me.
I tested it out, felt very nice to shoot (tested it with the M&P 9 and P365). Just bought a G19 Gen 5 MOS but when I can get my silencer, that gun's staying home and I'm getting myself a 43x for EDC.
NJ here. I just got a Colt M1911.45 on Tuesday. I have wanted one since I was a kid and I finally got around to it haha. When I went make my final payment for it, the gun clerk let me hold the 43x and I loved the feel of it. I'm probably going to be getting a G43x or G48 as my next purchase. I would also like to disclose that I was one of those Glock haters, but people like Hickhock45 have convinced me otherwise. Thanks Hickhock45 for another awesome informative video! Edit Hickok45
Ive got a 19 that wants a little brother. Looks like this may be the one.
Duluth Fire Hose Cargo Work Pants have big enough pockets to carry the Glock 43X. Having the longer grip also helps when drawing the gun from the pocket. At least that's the case for me and those Duluth pants. The smaller guns like a G26 or P365 are slightly harder to draw from the pocket.
Yep, with a large enough pocket, it opens up a lot of options. I've carried a Glock 19 before in a Cargo pocket or large vest pocket.
@@hickok45 Yeah, I don't care too much for carrying in a cargo pocket though. I don't like the gun flopping around against the side of my knee. Those Duluth pants have large front pockets. That's what I carry in.
@Howard Luken LOL, Yeah right. I certainly don't work for them and I only buy them when they are on sale for $40 something with free shipping. I like them because they are durable and last a long time and the cargo pockets fit my other EDC gear really well and the back pockets are velcro closed and hold my backup ruger LCP really well. I've tried several different pants and they just work for me.
Always a good day when Hickok45 shoots a new glock!
when i heard this came out the first thing i did was go out and buy a 43X lower. i already have a 43 that I've modified slightly but i want that larger grip and 10 round mag. 10 rounds sounds much better than 6.
(if you're interested in what i did to the 43, i added tru glow sights and replaced the spring assembly with a tungsten guide rod and a slightly harder spring, severely helped when it came to hollow points. no major cosmetics done)
This gun replaced my Sig P938 edc.
Glock is one company that keeps coming out with something new for everyone
Lol
LOL, I got that joke too
Great insights and great review. Thanks.
Extremely helpful video, thank you
The 48 was a pleasure to carry. I'm sure the 43x will be as well.
20:39 sounding like the duke himself lol “whoa whoa whoa, theirs one thing I forgot to tell ya.”
So my wife just bought a Glock 48, and it's exactly why you said...... the width. I love your reviews. They are always spot on. 👍👍
Great video hickok45. I've considered switching to the 42 because I've found the 43 on the bigger side of what I want to carry. No way would I want anything bigger.
