    Nice purchase!

    I had a G48, great gun. Sold it to fund another purchase. Kind of miss it.

    Currently have the little 43 for pocket carry.

    Contemplating a 43x to add to the collection for use.

    Generally, can't go wrong with a Glock. :thumbup

    Thank you! Last week I purchased a Glock 42 and it's a pretty cool little gun. Due to the 43X having a greater capacity and being chambered in 9mm, I'm choosing to carry it over the G42.

    I’m a big fan of the sub-compact single stack Glocks. I carry either my 43 or 48 more then any other gun I own and because I have a 43 and 48. I also have a 43x and what I call the 48x(48 slide on a 43 frame). Gotta love Glocks the LEGO’s of the handgun world.

    Oh also the Shield arms 15 round mags for the 48/43x are awesome, I have a few and they function great in my 48.

    Tried the 43, too small, unsexy, and snappy, tried the 43X, still too snappy and unsexy.  Got a Springfield XDs with 8rd mag, perfect!

    You're right, Glock is like the LEGO of the handgun world. It's hard for me to choose my favorite Glock. I was carrying my Glock 17 a lot but now it's getting warmer and I wanted something smaller. I'm very happy with the 43X.

    Congrats! Love my G43, G43X and G43X MOS.  The 43X is my EDC until I get done breaking in the G43X MOS and optic.

    I have a G42 and that gun is super small. I like the feel of the 43X with the longer grip. I don't have big hands so for me it works pretty well.

    Another reason I went with the 43X was the Blue Label price. It's a good discount  :thumbup

    Thanks! What kind of optic are you putting on the MOS?

    I’m heavily invested in Glocks, duty gun was a 22. I’m very comfortable and happy with them, when I carry a larger gun it’s almost always a 23 or 19. Currently own a 41, 2-35s, 3-22s, 2-23s, a 27, 2-19s, 2-17s, and the 48 and 43. Not to mention probably close to a hundred mags, several duty, IWB and various other holsters.

    When my daughter went out on her own I gifted her a Gen 4 Glock 19 and a Ruger PCC set up for Glock mags. Wanted her to have a long gun hand gun combo that used the same mags and ammo.

    The 19 is a great one, I have a gen 4. Not too long ago I was able to get a G35 and that is one sweet pistol!  :thumbup

    42 or 43 work for pocket carry. Never owned a 42, but have held them. Good guns I've read if you like .380.

    Tried the 43, too small, unsexy, and snappy, tried the 43X, still too snappy and unsexy.  Got a Springfield XDs with 8rd mag, perfect!

    That is a big concern of criminals is being shot by "unsexy" guns. Lessens the cool factor if they live to tell the tale. ;-D I kid of course. I've gone the whole rotation on different handguns. I've had big ones, little ones, sub compacts, revolvers, etc, on what to carry. Always carry what works best and suits you at the time. I've had guns I loved when bought, and sold later to fund a different one... Always in search of the "Holy Grail" of a carry gun. Nothing wrong with the XD line. My business partner carries one in .45. He likes it a lot, and he came from a compact 1911 Kimber for years.

    43x that I sent to C&H Precision to get milled for a RMRcc
    Shield Arms S15 mags.
    Inside a Phlster Enigma holster I can wear gym shorts and have a 15+1 red dot sighted 43x that prints less than my keys do in my pocket.
    Perfect little hand cannon.

    That's pretty cool! I've been hearing about the Shield Arms 15 mags. Sounds like a great option!
