Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns Glock 43X MOS

Anybody have any time with one? What did you like/dislike? I know the 10 round capacity is a knock but other than that what say you?

Not the MOS version but I've got the regular 43x . I really liked it until I got the 48. I can shoot the 48 better and it seems to carry better for me . If the 10 rd mag is your only drawback shield makes a metal 15 rd that works fine in mine. Just swap out the plastic factory release

Yep also the PSA micro dagger mags are supposed to be really good in the 15 round capacity. And you can use factory release.

I have the 48 which is the same grip as the 43x, just a little longer barrel. It is thin and carries well but I shoot the thicker 19 better.

I like Glocks but the Sig 365X is a better gun IMO. You get a slim grip frame but with better sights. I don’t hate factory Glock sights the way that most do but the Sig X-Ray night sights are a whole lot better, factory optics cut slide is standard, as are mostly flush fit 17 round mags, and a more modular pistol to set up however you want.

Glock grips will always be thicker or give up mag capacity to steel magazines because it’s basically a steel mag that is then wrapped in a polymer shell.

I’ve got a 48 MOS. When paired with PSA 15 round micro dagger mags it has a lot to offer, especially for a Glock fan. Basically a slim and light G19 with the same capacity. To me, the shorter barrel of the 43x doesn’t make as much sense as the 48. The grip is the hardest thing to hide and the longer barrel improves balance, sight radius (with irons), and velocity. I find the longer barter more comfortable to carry IWB as the shorter barrels hit me right on the hip.

K1500. I have the exact same set up. My wife wanted a slimmer grip then the G17 so the G48 fit the bill. Only difference was I added a stream light weapon light. She shoots that set well and it is loaded with Lehigh the speer 124 gr gold dot. Plus P plus ammo. It was a birthday present for her. I would like one for my birthday as well, but know she would never buy for me.

Buy exactly what you want and tell her Thank You. 😃

I have been carrying one often this year. No complaints so far. I did have to adjust my grip a bit to get it to shoot more to POA. I have not mounted a dot sight on it. Yet.

Or, just go with the Micro Dagger to begin with and get a better pistol and save some money.

I have an original two tone 43x without the MOS option. I love the thing. It's slim, lightweight and extremely reliable. I'm using the Shield 15 round mags and change the mag springs yearly and have no issues. It's so easy to conceal and carry and doesn't weigh much. I like the quality of Sig, but there's no Goldilocks model yet. The 365 is too small, the 365xl is almost right, but still too small and the Macro is too big. The Glock's grip is the perfect size for me. As for the MOS, I don't want one on my CC gun. I'm old enough that my eyes are getting, well, old, but I can still rock iron sights better than most can run a red dot, especially at personal defense distances. I figure the battery operated sight is just one more thing Murphy can get his hands on.

I tried the 43x. I shot my Sig 365 better and I thought it was more comfortable.

I picked up 43x a month or so ago, realy liking it, I shoot it well. About the right size, to carry. I'll stick with the factory sights. I trained with a Glock 22, and carried one for 10 years!
