Say Hello To My New Little Friend (Glock 43X MOS)

[Dr. Evil]

Got my coupon after almost 8 weeks and went to pick this up today. Very happy with my choice. Can't wait to break it in. Added an Agency Arms trigger also.

 

[cgrutt]

Congrats. What is it? Lol

 

[Dr. Evil]

Congrats. What is it? Lol

Thanks. A Glock 43X MOS.

 

[cgrutt]

Single stack 9? I'm tired lol.

 

[Dr. Evil]

Yes lol. The nice part is that when I leave this hellhole and go to TN I can get some shield magazines and bump it to 15 rounds.

 

[Cooolone]

Lol...

Shot my Glock like a tac driver! But was never a fun gun! Still have it. Good luck with her and enjoy!

 

[tirwin1]

Congratulations!

 

[cgrutt]

Nice gun good luck with it.

I personally have a pistol to do a job that I hope I never have to do, not so much to have fun with. I'm all for reliable, concealable, purposeful and utilitarian.

Nice!
Pew.. pew...

Red dot life

Red dot life

Can't believe I waited this long for one.

 

[Parzival]

Had a MOS but was never going to run a red dot so I sold it. Then bought a regular 43x…perfect EDC for me…31 rounds on hand in a pretty small package.

Preach on brother.

Congrats bro, Id like one of those too. Cant believe you had to wait 8 weeks though, Sounds like a Westchester wait time, not Ulster.

Exactly.I got one about 3 yrs ago to replace my 19 and couldnt be happier with it. Gave the 19 away and have been carrying this exclusively since.

But why.. they are the same gun

 

[Parzival]

But why.. they are the same gun

MOS are harder to find and sell for a premium.

Compact compared to a sub-compact, no? Easier to carry the 43 for some. Also, single stack compared to double which may feel better to some.

How do you find it shoots? Eat all ammo? I used mainly 147 grain as I found my M&P did better with that compared to 115 grain. Any issue with reloads?

He was saying he had a 43x MOS (the 43 doesn't come as an MOS) that he sold it then bought a 43x (not mos)....

Soo yea the 43x mos isn't double stack.... it's just a 43x with an optics cut and a light rail

Sorry. For some reason thought he got rid of a G19. My bad.

Nope all good

I find it very easy to shoot and not a whole lot different than the 19.I had the NY trigger in my 19 and put the same in my 43x.I put about 300 rounds thru it when I took it on its first test.Hydra shocs, some fmj reloads of unknown manufacturer and some winchester 115 gr hp and all performed flawlessly as I would expect from a non modified Glock.

you must have got my reply crossed with the other somehow, I got rid of the 19.

Is the 43x essentially the same as a 48 just shorter slide and barrel?

They seem very similar to me. I'm starting to get interested in them they seem like a great NY gun.

I think it could fill the role of my summer EDC Walther PPS and give me more ammo in doing so.

Yes.I compared the 43,43x and 48 at the gunshop and the 43X felt best for me.

The 43x is a 43 slide on a 48 frame

 

[Drinkthekoolaid]

The 43x is a 43 slide on a 48 frame

Thanks that's pretty much what I thought

 

[Edwardteach72]

At the same time you can toss any of the 3 slides sides onto a G43x frame or a G48 frame (they are the same frame) or even on a G43 frame
