Slimline Glocks

[SkyHawk]

I am making the switch from G43 to G43X for my summer carry this year.

[damon1272]

I ha e a 43 and a 48. I have shot the 43x. For a carry gun I prefer the 48 and I prefer the 48 for shooting also as the 43 and 43x feel snappier. The 48 conceals well.

48 with the Shield Arms mags is the bee’s knee’s, since I got that combo my 19s and 23s just sit in the safe.

The G43 is my main CCW, I use either a R Grizzle IWB or OWB, depending on the weather. I shoot it fine, I like the fit, and see no reason to jump to another platform. For a short while here in TX, I carried a G26, but eventually fired and bought the 43. As far as capacity, I'm fine with 7 rds.

Wife and I have G19s and I carry mine on occasion. Bulky for me, I much prefer my S&W Shield 9mm. In .45 I carry my G36. Capacity is not that important to me since I also carry an S&W 442 Airweight (5 rounds) when I want to just drop something into my pocket.

I use +1 pads on the 43, carry a second magazine on me and have extras in the truck.
Not overly concerned about the limited capacity.

I have carried a G43 (after carrying a G30 as well as a G26) for years.

Until it is eventually replaced by a P365, I am perfectly happy with its' size and capacity.

In the Glock line, it is currently the sweet spot for discreet carry...

The real answer is the P365

[Title1guy]

I found the G43x to be too long in the grip for me; after being "spoiled" by the P365 grip. The P365 can be carried in many pockets....the G43x less so. Wound up selling the Glock.

All Glocks are the best Glocks. You can't go wrong choosing one.

I’m in market for a carry gun leaning towards the shield in 9mm but I’ve had my eye on the glock 48 for a while too. I like that it can be more than a carry gun too

Can find a 48 locally for upper 400 range too. ��

I have a lot of Glocks of various calibers and sizes. Recently picked up a 43x with night sights and find it really easy to shoot and very accurate. Got two 15 round Shield Arms mags that fit flush and another with the extended base plate that holds 20 rounds. Changed out the mag release to aluminum Shield Arms and the higher cap mags all run reliably. It is now one of my favorite Glocks. Super easy to conceal, accurate and same capacity as a G19.

I have a Sig P365 on my CCW and carry it with the 12 round mag. I really like the Sig but slightly favor the G43x. Waiting for the range to open back up so I can qualify with the G43x and list it on my CCW. Once that is done, the G43x will become my main carry gun.

I compared a G43 to my G26 and the difference is not enough for me to pay the premium to buy a G43. The G26 works for me.

I purchased 2 G42s (consecutive serial numbers) when I could buy them using SSE. I have one set up for CC when I need something small or as a backup in an ankle holster. It works so there is no need for a G43.

Anyone carry a G26 with G19 mags using an X-Grip?

[dave85620]

lexo, I don't carry but I have a g26 that I shoot with an X-Grip and g19 mag. Feels much better than the pierce grip which pinches my pinky.

Anyone carry a G26 with G19 mags using an X-Grip?

I carry a G30S with G21 mags and Xgrip.
