Mass Glock CCW?

The only thing I change on Glocks are the sights and add a dot & light depending on which one it is. I don't expect a Glock to have a good trigger, that's why I also shoot Nighthawks.
 
I know a couple FFL’s that are still slinging Glocks however I’m sure private sale is easier considering OP hasn’t developed a good relationship with an FFL/ is new to the game we play here. Solid Info, thank you!
No problem 👍

And to correct what I wrote, it’s the AG regs that prevent Glock dealer sales. They’re on the roster.
 
None of my Glocks are stock. Not a one. Let’s see, I’ve got 3 Glock 34s, one 23, two 19s, and a 43x. So that’s 7. And I sold a 17 and a 26.

44
(2) 43 (were carry guns)
43X (carry gun)
48
19
17 (plus 2 spare slides)
(4) 34 - 2 Gen 4's for competition, a Gen 5 because why not, and my first Glock - a Gen 2
31, (knapsack gun, with a second one in the pipeline)
41 (pin gun)
17 Clone

It's actually funny when I take the time to think about how many Glocks I have. I think they multiply when I'm not looking.
 
Is just over 1k rounds a year supposed to be a lot?



Ha! My first centerfire pistol was a 1911 and I ended up trading it for a Glock 19.
Could be for some. Could not be for others.

When I look at that number in hindsight, it's low. But, given that some most shooters might get out only a few times a year, 1k rounds isn't a low roll.

I shoot my duty gun (G22 Gen 4) three times a month. 300-400 rounds each session depending on what qual/drill is being run.

I'm able to get my G19 Gen 5 out maybe once or twice a month depending on work..... It's to the point where I don't even keep track of that.

What’s the biggest difference you felt between 43 vs 43x?
 
Do just a little bit of research instead of expecting to be spoonfed.

He asked what’s the biggest difference people felt not what the exact differences are you fúćķin nitwit. How about you treat this man with respect instead of trying to make him feel bad about his post.

Besides the grip size and magazine capacity?

A 43X is a Glock 48 frame with a 43 slide

short slide, longer grip for better fit in the hands and 4 extra rounds, even more if you are in a free state and can use the Shield 15 round magazines

A 43X is a slim G19 (but completely different architecture)

The 43X has made the G26 almost obsolete IMHO

Don't ask me why I don't have a lot of affection for the G48, it just doesn't do a lot for me, but the 43X to me is a nice gun if you don't want to carry a G19.

As I said a lot of guys that bought 43X's have not touched their G26's since
 
Glocks have the worst trigger shoe, the dingus digs into your finger and it hurts after a few hours of shooting. The trigger shoe is the first thing I change out.

This can be fixed in 20 minutes with a round pen/pencil/dowel and some sandpaper. Remove just enough of the dingus so when it’s fully depressed it sits flush with the trigger.

100% functional as a safety, but doesn’t hurt your finger.

Thanks for your intel.

I like my current carry, PM9. The profile with the extended mag is perfect for me. Figured the G43x would be similar feel & profile with the low maintenance of a Glock.

I wanted to read other people’s actual first hand experience. Helps my decision with the little $$ I have haha!

Can’t avoid the trolls though. The sad fact of the interweb.

I wanted to read other people’s actual first hand experience too. I’m not like PewView who seems to have unlimited funds for toys. I’m poor lol
I have a PM9 and it was my summer carry/ deep concealment piece for a few years. I have always thought it was an under rated hand gun.
It is surprisingly accurate for such a tiny gun, and it is tiny. Comparison to the G43 and 43x below
My only complaint is that the trigger pull is very loooong. It's smooth but long.

I agrees with the PM9 trigger feel. I’m glad it wasn’t just me haha!
