Man, I love this 43x. Not that the G19 is difficult to CC, but the thinner G43x, coupled with its shorter barrel, makes it a little more comfortable. As a big RTF fan, the only thing I wish Glock could have done is making it a little grippier. Q | ||

Just mobilize it |
Nice comparison pics Q. The 43x and 48 already seem to have quite a following. | |||

Most everyone I talk to really likes the 43X/48 grip. I seem to be the odd one out. Whether it's the combination of the added palm swell in the backstrap coupled with the gun's thinness and my short fingers, the 43X/48 doesn't "lock in" as well for me as the regular G43's grip does. The sensation I get from the taller grip reminds me of how the S&W Shield always feels at the front strap and the two physically are actually shaped nothing alike. I just get this weird feel as I wrap my itty-bitty fingers around the front of the grip on these new Glocks, something I never noticed with my G43. Conversely I never experience this sensation with a double stack Glock. Or a double stack M&P for that matter. | |||

I got the 48 instead of the 43x but I've played with putting a 43 slide on it and like it an awful lot. The texture on my 48 seems to be less then on my other Glocks but it'll wear Talon grips anyway. | |||

I've really become fond of my 48 and putting the 43's slide on it. I also wish it had the RTF grip texture. | |||

Great pictures, thanks. Looks like the 43X is about the same exact size as my Walther PPS with the 7 round magazine other than the wider grip to accommodate the 10 rounds. I should be able to try one out at LGS factory shoot next month. This might be a terrific pistol for my wife as she has shown interest into getting into shooting. My Glock 19 is just a little bit big for her hands/fingers and I bet it will be perfect. I have been reading a whole lot of positive comments about the 43X/48 "I stopped by local gun store to handle one and I have to admit..." LOL. | |||

Glorious SPAM! |
Great pics. Man a black slide and a smooth trigger and I may be a buyer for this or the 48. | |||

I put Talon grips on my G43x; same as on all my other Glocks. | |||

I am really pissed at Glock right now. First I buy a 19x and then they come out with the damn 45. Then I have had a 43 for awhile and they release the damn 43x and 48! Glock is temporarily on my shit list at the moment. For ME: DA/SA=Sig 9mm or HK P30 LEM 9 Striker fired= Glock 9mm If it's a .45= 1911 Suppressed= HK in .45 I like anything in 10mm | |||

I love my 43X. I finally got mine running right and I'm glad I did. The full length grip, for me, is a huge improvement over the 43 and I love how thin it is. I mow a few yards in my off time and occasionally go for a run so the weight savings over my 19 and the thinness is a big plus for me as well. | |||

Do they feel a lot different IWB? I’m thinking about switching from my 33...a little too short and fat. Love my Sigs but carry my Glocks | |||

If you have the 43, why not grab a 48? You'll have a nice slide swapping combo then. | |||
