One of my buddies wants to trade me a Remington 1187 Premier for my stock G43. I’d been thinking of picking up the 43X, but the more I look at it I think I want the 48 MOS with a dot for my CCW. I work in a downtown area, but walk several blocks from a parking garage to my office. The 43 has served me well, but I’d like the ability to handle 15 rounds and the dot would be a plus.
Can you guys think of a reason this shouldn’t happen?
Coupla things...
How you carry - is probably the biggest issue, not round-count.
You should carry a spare mag and be able to swap it out in two seconds, anyway.
Appendix carry would favor the G43.
An optic is not sight radius critical.
An IWB/3:30 carry won't notice the longer grip, extra Bbl. length, longer sight radius, and better performance of an std. G48.
