Why I "think" I don't need a Glock 43x for EDC

[Gunbuffer]

43x is what all Glock fans have needed and wanted for years, even if they now don’t realize it
Not a Glock fan? This pistol may make one of you. If not, the p365 from sig might work for you.

What are the differences between a 43 and a 43X?

What are the differences between a 43 and a 43X?

Just the grip. The X adds 4 rounds.

Instead of a Glock, just go ahead and grow a beard and wear women's clothing. No one will want to mess with you, you will be an extra protected species and you will not have to worry about the Glock going off in your panties.

Nah, I'll stick with the Glock for now. I'm a fairly active guy, and I don't wear women's clothing.

When I get too old and fat to reliably haul myself from point A to point B, I'll get me a big ol' 1911 so I can watch it rust after a long day of keister carry as I ride my mobility scooter.

I was in the same boat. I couldn’t justify the size difference for daily carry as I normally carry a Glock 19. The 43 just wouldn’t cut it due to size comparison. I carry a 380 LCP with a custom milled slide, and it has full size night sights, and a 13 lb recoil spring to help control the little snapper when my G19 isn’t an option. I’m consistent at 15yds on 8in steel plates with the LCP, and It’s practically undetectable, and comfortable.

I do shoot 3-4 days a week at OKCGC, so my confidence in the LCP is proven for defense and the possibly of having to engage a target at 15yds or less. I would feel more confident in the G43 shooting further, but the size between the 19 and 43 isn’t practical for me. The LCP in this configuration is perfect, but not even slightly comparable to the control I have of my G19.
