Good info bro! I didn’t realise that it’s not a good idea to use polymer mags after switching to the Shield Arms. Also just received my first Edge series grips and will install them tomorrow. So far it’s Interesting how they figured out what seems to be the perfect combination of sandpaper and Rubber Thanks for that. BTW, I also have thousands of rounds through the Shield Arms with zero issues! Keep the awesome vids coming!

Thanks man! I appreciate it. And same here, the shield arms mags are great. And they do take some getting used to that’s for sure. And yeah I didn’t realize it either until I started having issues getting the mags to drop at the range but it makes sense!
@TheJedi270 Жыл бұрын
I totally agree shield arms is an absolute wonderful mag. Now the metal will chew the oem’s but for me I don’t need the extra 5 rounds. I do have OEM mags with an extension but I don’t carry those. So for the money i simply don’t buy into the “need” for the extra 5 I just carry an extra mag so 21 on tap, which the chances of me needing that is slim and none. I can’t justify paying the crazy high price for a shield mag that half the time isn’t in stock anyway, and loose the use of my $20 OEM’s the cost just negates the shield for me when they’re just not in my opinion needed at all.

Why do people get so butt hurt over their guns? Simply put I absolutely agree with the comments. I’m 55 years old, I’m a combat vet, you don’t need the five rounds just carry an extra mag that IF you’re in a street battle,(doubtful) you’ll feel better. Learn to change a mag and stop buying into marketing. Shield mags are way over priced and never in stock. And if you bought OEM’s and now can’t use em’ then you’re out even more money. But I digress it is your money.

I agree with your upgrade ideas. I tend not go go out at night and do not see a bid plus with tridium. I like the sights that utilize light to enhance the sights. I am not a fan of RMR. I have installed a Lasermax unit. I doubt if I really need it I will have time. I think it does help with practice. I am a firm believer that what works for you stick with it. It is your life on the line, should something terrible should happen.

Have any of you guys noticed that on the 43x mags, how sharp the back corners are on the floor plates? When I carry appendix, especially when sitting, they gouge the heck out of my arm. I rounded the corners on a couple of mags to see if that helps. The double stacks don't seem to be quite as sharp, or at least they don't stick out the same way. Just thought I'd see if anybody else had noticed that?

In the event you wear cargo style pants a "True" trigger guard holster works well for me. All it does is cover the trigger attached by a strong cotton cable. Tie a knot around a belt loop. -If needed just pull up and there you have a loaded pistol. These are made for many micro, sub and compact pistols. If you need a pitcure (Idea) click on immages and Google trigger guard holster. They cost between 10.00- 12.00. They are also great for putting a pistol in a bag etc. Many pro competion shooters are using them now. Just so the loaded pistol is safe while sitting on a firing post. There have been some negligent discharges latly, bu high profile shooters. This is why they a re becoming more popular these days. Best of luck-God bless.

I replaced the springs, installed a flat trigger and replaced the trigger connector with a Ghost edge connector and upgraded the mag catch with a Shield Arms metal mag catch and 3x Gen 2 Shield Arms 15 round magazines and an extended slide stop and installed night sights. I am wondering if anyone makes any beavertail back straps to get rid of the Glock bite and I want a TLR 6 Light Laser and an appropriate kydex pocket holster for it. I really love the pistol and as a big guy I easily fit the G43X in my pocket in a nice Glock 43 pocket holster.

I’m gonna try the PSA dagger 15rd mags and see if they are better. But you are right just try them out and go what you feel most confident with. I’ll stick with my 10rd oem mags till I’m confident with a 15rd mag.

@tonyrunner3 so i got the psa micro dagger mags and sanded any and all flashing off the inside with 180grit then smothed everything over with 400grit and they have been 100% reliable with 300+ rounds so far. Kinda annoying to have to sand them, but 15 minutes of sanding to be able to carry an extra 10 rounds (5 from each magazine) all the time is well worth it in my opinion

I totally agree shield arms is an absolute wonderful mag. Now the metal will chew the oem’s but for me I don’t need the extra 5 rounds. I do have OEM mags with an extension but I don’t carry those. So for the money i simply don’t buy into the “need” for the extra 5 I just carry an extra mag so 21 on tap, which the chances of me needing that is slim and none. I can’t justify paying the crazy high price for a shield mag that half the time isn’t in stock anyway, and loose the use of my $20 OEM’s the cost just negates the shield for me when they’re just not in my opinion needed at all.

Why do people get so butt hurt over their guns? Simply put I absolutely agree with the comments. I’m 55 years old, I’m a combat vet, you don’t need the five rounds just carry an extra mag that IF you’re in a street battle,(doubtful) you’ll feel better. Learn to change a mag and stop buying into marketing. Shield mags are way over priced and never in stock. And if you bought OEM’s and now can’t use em’ then you’re out even more money. But I digress it is your money.

Bingo. I have Talon grips on everything.
I agree with your upgrade ideas. I tend not go go out at night and do not see a bid plus with tridium. I like the sights that utilize light to enhance the sights. I am not a fan of RMR. I have installed a Lasermax unit. I doubt if I really need it I will have time. I think it does help with practice. I am a firm believer that what works for you stick with it. It is your life on the line, should something terrible should happen.

One other reason I have night sites is in the dark laying next to you like on a nightstand you always know there. If for no other reason it works. They simply draw attention to your eyes.
I'm tempted to buy Shield mags but I've been fine with my stock 48 mos and 5 extra OEM mags for now.
All I changed was the factory sights to night sights and added Talon grip. Zero malfunctions.
Great video I love the glock 43x I got the same exact all black glock 43x I put rubber texture talon grips on it I still need to get night sights tho

Respect! It’s a great firearm and it really can flex into all roles. Get night sights and it’s all you needs!
Have any of you guys noticed that on the 43x mags, how sharp the back corners are on the floor plates? When I carry appendix, especially when sitting, they gouge the heck out of my arm. I rounded the corners on a couple of mags to see if that helps. The double stacks don't seem to be quite as sharp, or at least they don't stick out the same way. Just thought I'd see if anybody else had noticed that?
Stick with OEM for your Every Day Carry (EDC). 10 rounds is sufficient. And the the Beltless IWB holster (with the ULTICLIP) by Blacksmith Tactical is a must. The purpose of EDC is to keep things simple, and minimal.

@@iLLBiLLsRoastBeats Because I said so. Next question.
In the event you wear cargo style pants a "True" trigger guard holster works well for me. All it does is cover the trigger attached by a strong cotton cable. Tie a knot around a belt loop. -If needed just pull up and there you have a loaded pistol. These are made for many micro, sub and compact pistols. If you need a pitcure (Idea) click on immages and Google trigger guard holster. They cost between 10.00- 12.00. They are also great for putting a pistol in a bag etc. Many pro competion shooters are using them now. Just so the loaded pistol is safe while sitting on a firing post. There have been some negligent discharges latly, bu high profile shooters. This is why they a re becoming more popular these days. Best of luck-God bless.
I replaced the springs, installed a flat trigger and replaced the trigger connector with a Ghost edge connector and upgraded the mag catch with a Shield Arms metal mag catch and 3x Gen 2 Shield Arms 15 round magazines and an extended slide stop and installed night sights. I am wondering if anyone makes any beavertail back straps to get rid of the Glock bite and I want a TLR 6 Light Laser and an appropriate kydex pocket holster for it. I really love the pistol and as a big guy I easily fit the G43X in my pocket in a nice Glock 43 pocket holster.

Id probably go with glock mags if i could but so hield seems to maybe be apart of glock id try factory mags at first look u aint gotta shoot 1000 rounds through a gun to test reliability with a mag just a hundered or so and carry a 5 38 revolver a backup
glad i just got the mos. an optic and a light either on the gun or in my pocket and i’m good. there’s really no reason to change out the mags.

@tonyrunner3 so i got the psa micro dagger mags and sanded any and all flashing off the inside with 180grit then smothed everything over with 400grit and they have been 100% reliable with 300+ rounds so far. Kinda annoying to have to sand them, but 15 minutes of sanding to be able to carry an extra 10 rounds (5 from each magazine) all the time is well worth it in my opinion

PSA Dagger micro Mags hold 15 & have the polymer coating as well so you don't have to change out your mag catch & can easily go back to your oem Mags for times when you have to carry in a shithole state like NY & CA where you can only legally have a 10 round mag.
