Glock 43 or Glock 43X

I like that they can use all of my 19 and 17 magazines.

That is my main reason I will use my 43x for light carry only. Office/Errands etc only. Road trips/out of town etc, I'll stick with my 19 or M11-A1

G48, hands down. Better balanced and longer sight radius than the G43X. It's gonna be a sweet summer EDC in place of my G19.

Not a fan of the grooved trigger, but it doesn’t seem to affect me as bad as I thought it would.

I’m now a super fan of the yellow front HD night sight. I’ve got one on my Glock 19 Gen 5 MOS and now this 43x. That big yellow blade almost feels like cheating.

You can swap a trigger shoe from a Glock 42 into the 43 or 43x.

I don’t like the stock sights either. I put a set of Ameriglo protectors on my 43x within a couple of hours of picking it up from the FFL. The 43x and 48 are also available OEM with Ameriglo Bolds.

I ordered the Ameriglo iDot sights for my new 48 today. They should be here tomorrow.

I’m a fan of the Ameriglo sites. Lots of variations to suit most people.

I think I'm gonna end up being a fan of the 48. Like said above by and for the same reasons as @Mr.357Sig, it will be a sweet summer (or even year-round) carry gun.

I like the front sight, but I’d prefer the plain black “U” shaped real sight.

These are on my Glock 19. I had to have a thin rear due to the MOS plate. AmeriGlo Protectors. 66 dollars from Amazon. Front is every bit as bright as my Trijicon HD yellow front.

Nice setup! The G19.5MOS is the first Glock to make me consider changing from my old G19.3.

Thanks. I’m currently carrying it without the light in a TT Gunleather MKS IWB while Nightingale makes my IWB leather rig. This one will stay with me for good. It gives my P226 Legion SAO a run for its money inside 20 yards. The grip reminds me of my old stippled Gen 2 19 I bought back in 02. Sold it because I’m an ID10T
