Glock owners united MEGA THREAD

Is there even a lot of companies making these for the 43X

 

Here’s the back of my Glock.

 

lol so when you carry at the store are you just knocking shit off the shelf as you pass by the whole time? Love it

Sad day.. still waiting on my stamp lol

 

Can anyone answer this:
Is there a polymer80 or other similar style frame that is g43X sized? I know they make regular 43 size frames, but instead of buying a 43x, looking for a frame for those of us who already have a 43.

 

Is the g43x just a longer grip/mag capacity?

If so you can just add a mag extension, so your hand fits the grip. Plus extra ammo.
Xgrip and ETS 9rnd mag makes the grip right about hand sized, g19 length.

I am new to the glock thing.
These triggers are funky.

 

Yes and yes lol. Reloads should be easier in the full size grip plus you can get the 15 round mags for the 43x. But I really did keep telling myself I could do fine with the 43 with extended mags....until the MOS version came out: MOS, rail for a light, and 15 round mags.

In my google-fu last night I did come across a company that is making 80% lowers that use 43/43x/48 slides on a Sig 365 style frame and take Sig365 magazines.
I also did find a website that sells factory made 43x frames stripped. That may be my best option without buying a completely new gun.

 

I'm hoping to pick up a 43x as soon as they're back in stock. My buddy works at a gun store, so he said as soon as they get one in again, he's going to hold it for me.

 

Copy that, was thinking the 43x was just 10rnd. Glock must make 20 different flavors, cant keep track.
I like the size of these single stacks.


I just did a G19 and a G43/g48, the 43 turned into near identical size to the 19, just lighter and thinner.

I guess i was thinking you might save money with a mag ext. Plus you still can run it with short mag for stealth.
But hell yeah more guns!

 

Finally got this done.
May become new favorite.
G43(SS80), G48 Zaffiri slide/barrel, Strykout trigger, Ameriglo operator sights.
That Xgrip and 9rnd ETS mag.

 

Anyone have some 15 rd g20/g40 mags ? I could use a couple

 

Please excuse the awkward grip, I was in a hurry to avoid HOA complaining lol. OD green cerakote g20 compared to Toyota army green. I had to do it for science lol

 

Like the gun and like the truck. Screw the HOA. I can’t believe yours is that strict and would say something about being outside with it. I bet yours would site you if your BBQ pit put out too much smoke. HOAs keep out the trash but hurt the regular guy. Ours is not that bad. Down with the Karen’s.

 

Our hoa is almost non existent, just not trying to be the guy on the block known for posing with firearms in the front yard lol.

 

Bought my first Glock the other day. 19.5. Got it new for 539 locally.



Any recommendations on sights? I’m leaning toward ameriglo Spartan Operator. Trijicons worth the extra $$? It will be used for target shooting, HD, and cold weather carry.

I’m not a sight snob, I’ve been carrying a Shield with the stock sights for years. I just don’t dig the stock plastic Glock sights.
