Everyone's dumping Glock 43?

I’m never getting rid of my 43. I don’t need a 43x I have a 19. To each his own I guess.

[The Gleam]

No interest.

I'm waiting on the Glock 44.

A stock P365 is good enough in my opinion without adding more. For some, concealment and capacity is necessary. To each their own.

I don't have a dog in this fight but I did watch a video from Hickok45 on YouTube and he was going to stay with the 43 which he says is more pocketable than the 43 x, which he believes has to be a belt / holster carry type gun, even though it's not that much bigger.
In his opinion it's just now too tall/big for a pocket unless you're talkin a giant jacket pockets...

I haven’t had time to check the G43X since it’s still in jail. I do have the mags with me and it seems the G43X chopped to G43 may hold 8 rounds, but who will make chopped down mags? I doubt Glock will bring out a G43 size G43X with 8 round mags. That would surely kill the Glock 43.

P365 with Talon grips. Better ergos, better trigger , more capacity. Put a few thousand rounds through it and it shoots very well once you get the grip down.

I don't think it is being dumped. I just think it is not the new, cool kid on the block. The 43 was my daily carry for the last 2+ years, but now after 1250 flawless break in rounds, my 365 is in the rotation. The 48's grip is just too long for what I want in a CCW gun.

Some people just see money in a different light.

I know some not rich people who have paid 400 bucks for a lunch. They don't blink an eye paying outlandish prices for what they want.

If you are conservative on spending - attempting to get maximum value for your dollar - most women must drive you nuts.

[JTROKS]

Yup! I still don’t get why would anyone pay $2500 for a friggin’ handbag with someone else’s name or initials on it.

I like the 43 and P365. If I'm going small, then I'll buy small, and not get an in between gun. G48 is a slim G19, pointless due to ammo loss per mag imo, and the extra barrel length is worthless in carry; it sits in an interesting postion, maybe for a 1911 grip feel? A G43 is a slim G26, and a 43X just sits in the middle with a better grip.

The only thing that makes me think the 43 is dead is because the 43x mags dont work in it. I have a feeling the 43x is going to grow a lot in the aftermarket than where the 43 is now.

[JTsanchez]

So many G43 and G43x for sale in marketplace. Is it that bad?

Absolutely love my G43, I wouldn't want to sell it for any reason. I'm not LE, so I paid a crazy price of 1000 3 years ago for one that was NIB w/ factory night sights, ya I know absurd but damn I wanted it. I carried it for about 2 years when my work demanded it and I never felt more confident in a pistol than I do in my 43.

[Spoilerv2]

I love my G43. It’s the perfect CCW for my size (short Asian). I carried a G27 for 12 years, still on a few occasions. But the 43 just feels right. For those who thinks the capacity is lacking, just carry an extra mag or ad a footplate extension.

[stormvet]

If you own a Glock 43 and a Glock 48, you also own a 43x.

[GlockN'Roll]

The G43 isn't going anywhere soon.

It is very popular with the CCW crowd. It is still my No. 1 for carry...

Unless they make a true compact 10 round competitor for the P365, it will remain their top CCW option, IMHO.


As the G43 is no longer the latest and greatest pistol, some people are turning them over to make a profit while they still can,

but there are not being dumped in mass by any means.


The G43x and the G48 are not interesting to me as they are heading in the wrong direction (wider, longer grip and/or longer slide) for concealment applications...

Sig seems to have figured out an excellent compromise of size and capacity with the P365.
