Absolutely, grab a few PSA mags, they make a good firearm great. Not sure why Glock didn't make 15 round mags....

Just bought a g43x today. I normally like larger guns like the g20, but the 43x feels AMAZING in large hands. Reminds me of my HK VP9 ergonomics. Fantastic little pistol.

Anyone else started salivating when they saw 4 full boxes of 9mm ammo at 0:12?

Tell me about it, just got a new G19 MOS and getting a red dot for Christmas, I’ve only got a little over 500rds. I want to go shoot but I know I’m gonna need to zero the new dot, and even then it’s gonna be painful to go thru so much ammo and have to go on the hunt again for ridiculously overpriced ammo. Oh well, I guess the are worse problems to have.

If you use this red dot on 43X or 48 MOS and mount directly to the slide, you will need to shorten the screw on the extractor side. The long screw provided in the Riton package will bind the extractor rod and your spent cartridge will not eject.

I was thinking of buying a fancy custom shop gun, but this 43X MOS is such a tremendous value that I think I'll buy this instead. It's got everything I need and nothing else this light and thin holds nearly as many rounds. I'd like to stick to optics that don't need an adapter plate so they sit low, but since it's a Glock there will probably be a lot of industry support and that won't be a problem.

@@chgofirefighter they didn't respond but I've shot the 43x MOS plenty and will give you the best info I can if it helps. I'm 5'8 and 155 lbs with pretty strong hands and some experience shooting handguns, I heard that the recoil from small guns is nippy and hard to control compared to a larger handgun, I really was expecting to get more recoil than I did, if you grip the gun right and grip it like you mean it, even if you're a small woman you'll have no issues with the recoil, I really would've expected the recoil I got from the 43x to be like 19 or 19x recoil, it's very, very manageable. I was shooting Winchester 115 grain and some Hornady 124 grain +P. +P has a noticably more violent recoil but again, still perfectly manageable with a good, aggressive grip.

I gotta buy another one. Well done Glock, this eclipsed the conceal carry standard imo. Of the shit tons we spend on nice firearms it’s this piece of gear you’re gonna depend on. Train with it, you can drive tacks with it.

👍 again. As a seasoned citizen a red dot solves the focal point problem for me. Older eyeballs make seeing front sight a challenge.

That 43 looks great and I had a good laugh with “micro optics sighting system “ bloopers.

I’ve been running the Glock 26 for 10 years now. And all these firearms that keep coming out are tempting for me to try something different. I just don’t see myself putting away my G26 after it’s been working for me and I’ve had gone through the whole searching for the perfect holster and upgrading the different parts to where I’ve had it dialed in and been shooting it very good, I don’t know if I can keep spending my money on new guns to serve the same purpose, I’d rather put that money towards training and ammo…buuuut I do think that the age of firearms we are living in is a beautiful thing with all these options that keep coming out. I hope you all enjoy them, I’ll enjoy watching the tempting videos.

Love the bloopers.

Love my G43X. Can't justify the upgrade to MOS at this point. However, for full disclosure, I do get bit by the magazine when firing though. Otherwise it's simple to clean, easy to conceal and goes "bang" when I pull the trigger. I'm good.

great review! Thnx for sharing! You’re running that pistol like a boss!

Please review the Glock G48 MOS. Thanks for all your hard work. Absolutely love watching your reviews.

Sootch's reviews are the clearest, sharpest and by far the best quality production so when you want to get a really good look at a firearm l always go t Sootch first. That Glock43x is a beauty, another perfect gun from Glock. And another thing, Mr Sootch is a very funny man. "Thunderbolt and Lightfoot" what a film !

Thanks for the review!

My wife just picked up a 43x MOS that she plans to use for home defense and eventually carry. I plan on adding a red dot ASAP! I have loved my G19 for the longest time too however after handling the 43x mos I'm super in LOVE with it and would consider selling my G19 for a 2nd 43xmos just for the fact that we could carry together and share magazine if needed. I have my CCW permit 1st though so I'll at least get to rock the 43x for a little until she gets hers.

Waiting for G42 MOS. Yes, the slide is a little narrower, but that is what MOS is for: you always have an adapter plate.

Great information, well needed because I plan to purchase the glock 43x mos and you provided me with details that I needed and also recommendations on holster. Thank you sir.

I like both Gs and Sigs... xl w 15 round is more comparable to 43x with shield 15 rd. So it's just options which is great. But for me, i feel totally comfortable with about 10 rds... Hence, XL with 12 rounds is slimmer, smaller, sleeker so that's the one for me.

Very nice review Sir. Just picked up mine on Wed.

i changed the trigger assembly as that blade would dig into my figure during recoil. i also purchased the S&W shield plus. much nicer trigger. However the finish on the S&W grip is rough on your skin when IWB carry. I don't wear a T-shirt under my shirt. Great price of $449 with MOS at PSA .

I’m currently testing a 43X MOS with a Swampfox Sentinel optic. So far it’s been a sweet set up. One thing to note is that because of the rail, the 43X MOS does not fit into any of the four IWB holsters that I own for the regular G43x. Just a heads-up.
