Glock 43x - Perfection Login/Join

Purchased this yesterday under the Blue Label program for $380 plus tax. I shot 500 rounds to test function before putting it in the carry rotation and had zero issues.
I think I've finally found the perfect CCW handgun. The 43x fits my hand better than any other Glock pistol I own or have owned and accuracy is fantastic. I might pick up a 48 next.

500 rounds out of a 43 in a day, you're tougher than me.

I handled one at my LGS and I thought it had perfect feel, balance and point ability. I'm sorry I bought my 43 only two months before the X Came out. There will be one in my future.

I could have fired another 500 but the daylight ran out. Loading the magazines was more of a discomfort than the recoil. I've got a sore thumb.

I'm glad you like yours, I sold my 43 to finance my BL 43X - but now I'm eyeing a 43 frame-only on GB. The frame is $140-ish new (well, the guy say's its new) and it'll give me a two-fer for chump change. I really like the 43X but the grip is too tall for pocket carry.

My Blue Label dealer has a waiting list for 43Xs that is several months out.

I'm going to get one eventually, but I'll wait until demand dies down some.

If you already have a G43, buy a G48 instead, and you can swap the slides around between the frames. That'll get you four configurations with only two guns:

G48 (G48 slide with G48 frame)
G43X (G43 slide with G48 frame)
G43 (G43 slide with G43 frame)
G43L (G48 slide with G43 frame)

considered just buying the 43x frame and 3 mags for 240 bucks so I could put my black 43 on it. just dont care for the two tone. still only a ten rounder, never really cared for the recoil of the 43 and don't shoot it much hopefully it is tamed down a bit with the frame.

I am loving my 43X as well. The only hard part about shooting a 43X for 500 rounds in one sitting is loading the mags. The gun is very nice shooting.

The 48 shoots a little softer even...go buy it!

Has there been any credible word from Glock regarding if/when they will release the 43X & 48 with black slides?

I gave up loading Glock mags without an UpLula a long time ago. That thing is worth the money they charge and my thumbs are much happier these days.

just bought one last week. Has a great trigger, and the frame hump is much smaller than my 33 I carry-hits me in a better place, might be my new carry piece. Don't have any desire for a 48. Now a 43x in 357 sig would be the shit!


Love my Sigs but carry my Glocks

Just buy a G48 and swap out the the frames.....it is what I did. I love the G43, G43x, and G48 that I now have.

I got the 43x and 48, slight preference for the 48 and its slightly softer recoil. The 43x is going to my dad.
