Glock G43x MOS Model Sight Ready Carry

the glock g43x mos let's check it out [Music] [Applause] [Applause] [Music] guys when glock introduced their g43x it quickly replaced my g43 definitely 10 rounds in the magazine it's a little bit longer but yet it's just more capable and so it's one of the things about this little pistol is it's so thin and it's really easy to carry i was actually at the time carrying a glock 19 and so this really brought it down quite a bit and with still enough capacity where i felt like i had confidence but now they've introduced the g43x with the mos and the mos version guys with the optical sights i mean it is where a lot of guys are going to not only for self-defense but also for competitive shooting it's really easy to see that one dot rather than trying to align your sights so it's quick it's actually a little more accurate really this gives you a lot of options plus they've added an accessory rail which is one of the things that the g43x needed and so being a big fan of the g43x i needed one of the mos versions got in touch with glock they sent it for this test and evaluation and i'm going to buy it of course the g43x and this is the mos version which has the modular optic system there's a plate here you can remove it and put on a micro red dot which is something that a lot of shooters have been going to because the red dot is so easy to pick up and you have one point of aim instead of having to line up your sights for two point of aim it makes it a little more accurate i would suggest that you train with it though because it does take some getting used to but that's one of the things a lot of pistols have gone to this mos style or this adapter plate where you take the the cover plate off one thing about the g43 x is it does not have adapter plates but there are a number of optics that will fit directly to it which allow you to co-witness with your sights ten plus one in the magazine does have the standard glock 10 rail magazine with the orange follower and then the gun is unloaded so this gun has the ndlc coating on it it has front cocking serrations it does have an accessory rail which the original g43x g43xs did not have so that's a nice addition and yet it's still pretty close to the frame in fact here is one of the g43x originals and you can see it's not really much difference between the two and that's great because this is a concealed carry option now really otherwise this is pretty much the same firearm it just has the mos version the grip is very nice a lot of times glocks have a very thick grip and so this gives it a really nice thin grip again very similar to your g43 and here we have the g43 it's a six plus one and then we have the ten plus one it does come out as you can see a little bit longer but the slides actually interchange between the two you can throw this g43 slide on the g43x and vice versa we've done it a number of times and of course we do have the g48 which is a little bit of a longer slide and barrel now the barrel is 3.41 inches in length it is the glock marksmanship barrel this particular one has the standard polymer glock sights but you can get night sight versions and you can switch these out there are a ton of different accessories for these pistols this one also has a little bit of a beaver tail that comes out as you can see and that's the same with the g43 and the g42 now you have your mag release right here but it is switchable to the other side of course you have your safety here with your trigger and you have that little blade that protects it so unless your finger is directly on the trigger it's not going to fire the gun and one thing they also have a firing pin block safety in here and they call this the safe action pistol and it is safe to carry guys just keep your finger out of the trigger on whatever firearm you have but the texturing is subdued more than it is on a lot of the larger frame glocks but it still has a really solid grip to it but because of that i have added talon grips to my standard g43x and will probably add talon grips to the g43x mos but this is a very concealable very thin handgun one thing about this particular pistol is that compared to the g19 which has been one of my favorites for years and this is the mos version you can see obviously we've got a red dot on here rmr the slides a little longer but look how much thinner same thing with the g26 a much thinner profile slide and so it's going to be a little easier to conceal carry and it does have about the same grip we have 15 and one here with the g19 we have 10 in one but a very thin very concealable firearm it's six and a half inches in length it's just a little over five inches in height and it's point eight seven inches in width now i'm going to install the micro red dot it does not come with adapter plates but the red dot that i purchased will fit right directly onto the rail i picked up one of the ritton tactics this is the x3 mprd these are fairly reasonable it is an aluminum site but before we do that i want to talk a little bit about the 10 round capacity that we have here and the reasons why they came out with this handgun a lot of that had to do with the sig p365 and you can see this is a 10 plus one and i know i've picked up a lot of guns i have double checked and double checked the uh to make sure that these are unloaded but here you see that it extends considerably farther out ten plus one ten plus one and this one actually has the xl slide on it i know i was switching things around and i thought i had my standard p365 but the big part is is this right here that makes it smaller and it also makes it smaller up front and so in fact these are almost identical with the long slide and so with the p365 standard it's a little bit shorter with the slide but really concealable is the grip so when i got my p365 i ended up starting carrying it for a while i know sig had a few problems so i put it back up and guys i was carrying the glock 26 which is a 10 round sub compact very much like the 19 it's just pretty much chopped off but it was 10 plus one 10 plus one even with this plus one adapter plate so i'm actually holding 11 plus one in the g26 the only thing is it's a little bit thicker and i've been used to carrying this one for years but one of the things is the thinness of this it made it so much easier to carry but then the advent of the shield arms s15 magazine really changed everything for me uh the 10 round magazine was great but because it's polymer there's no real way to make this any thinner there's no way to get any extra rounds in this magazine shield arms came out with the steel magazines and we have 15 plus one so when i put this mag in i now have 15 plus one bring back out my g19 and guys honestly both of them are 15 plus one i have a little bit of a longer slide on the g19 and the grip is the same but the thinness is just incredibly different and that's one of the big things about this it's so much easier to conceal than the g19 and so once that happened i started carrying the g43x as my go-to concealed carry piece and i've been doing that ever since it's just very easy to take a 15 plus one at this size and there's nothing out there that's close to that on the market even the sig even with the longer mags still is 12 plus one but i'm just going to be honest i do carry the sig p365 especially if i want something a little more deep carry a little smaller the one thing about the g43x is that the grip is a little bit longer and sometimes that's a little bit more difficult to carry especially appendix carry for me and so if i'm an appendix carry i carry my p365 but i typically carry this strong side right about four o'clock and guys as far as holster options i'll just tell you i've been carrying this stealth gear vent core and uh this is a super comfortable holster to be able to carry and the mos would probably butt up against this but i'm sure that they'll be making some to fit the mos model and that's one thing you want to be careful of guys is when you're having holster options if you're going to put a micro red dot on your firearm you've got to consider that sight now to me the gen 5 trigger pull has been improved over the gen 4 and gen 3. we're just going to take a look at it i mean it's still a polymer striker fire and sometimes the triggers are a little mushy we have take up right here a little very little stacking and then the break reset right there check the trigger pull weight with our lyman trigger gauge from brownells five pounds five point nine ounces five pounds point three ounces of course we've got the ritton x3 tactics mprd this is a micro red dot i got this off big daddy unlimited and i think it was like 150 dollars it was very reasonable but here is the site it's all aluminum housing and i really like that and so we're going to test this out and see how it does now unfortunately here on youtube you cannot show installations but i'm just going to tell you how to do it just take off your plate and then there are two screws provided and it will fit flush with your slide and you don't really need adapter plates for it and i thought that was pretty good and guys if you want to see the installation we're going to have this on gitzone.com and you can see it there so it's going to be pretty simple and straightforward now here we have the site installed i love that it's really flush fit with the slide and it allows you to actually co-witness your sights they're really low on the site but there they are now we're going to go ahead and bring this site up and i'm going to see if we can get it we got a really bright red dot trying to get it to focus it's not near that big in real life now i want to just run down a list of sites that do work with the g43x most of these are the micro red dots the really thin slim lines again the ritton optics x3 this seems to be working really well shield sights makes the rmsc which is an aluminum body and then they make the smsc which is a polymer body then also the swamp fox sentinel now those all seem to fit directly you know onto your slide and so there's no adapter plates needed with the sig romeo zero according to what i found they said the screws can be too long so you need to get the correct screw and those are aftermarket also the trijicon rmsc which is what i've really been thinking about you have to have an adapter plate for it and that's going to raise it up over the slide a little more so personally i may rethink that because i like the way this fits down into the slide i want to thank fioci for sponsoring the ammo all made right here in the usa one of the largest suppliers of ammunition in the u.s good clean burning stuff also want to thank lula loaders makes life just a lot easier now taking this down to the range it wasn't any big deal we knew what to expect we shoot the g43x put thousands of rounds through it i carried every day but i wanted to see how it did with the red dot and guys it was just this is a great little optic so far we'll be doing some more testing so i don't really want to recommend it yet until we get more ammo through it whatever optics you put on here it just is a great shooting gun the g43x has just really proven itself and so i like the fact that it is a little bit larger in your hand to a point because it shoots like a full-sized firearm yet it's really thin so you feel like you've really got a good grip on the pistol um you know of course we've already done our full review on here and again i will be getting talon grips to put on here just because the g43x and g48 frames are just a little bit more slick than their standard gen 5 frames not really sure why they decided to do that but it's still good enough but i really like to have that extra with italian grips very easy smooth shooting firearm with the red dot it just puts things all together i love that it sits really low in the slide so i can still access my sights in case i have some kind of problem with the red dot that's pretty important and then i don't have to put on suppressor height sights which honestly i really don't like because it just kind of sticks out and it's a point that i can catch on something so really this combination i'm loving it now for disassembly we're going to drop our magazine bring it back about an eighth of an inch grab these two tabs and pull them down at the same time and then pull the trigger and the slide will come right off this is a brand new gun and i actually got this from glock uh these are very difficult to get right now so i was really happy that they did send this to me for this review and here is your glock marksman barrel again it is 3.41 inches in length then we have our slide and we have our standard copper you know this lubricant always has this copper in it when you first get it right here is your firing pin block and so it's going to keep the striker from firing unless you pull the trigger and here you can see the frame and many of you have already seen this guys that's all you need to do to field strip to reassemble just put it in reverse order drop in your barrel recoil spring and guide rod this dual captive guide rod guys will really help tame the recoil as well then put it right back over your slide test for function and we're good to go [Music] now as far as price goes these are the same msrp as your glock g43x typically you can find those for around the 500 range during normal times right now in 2020 it's very difficult to find but that'll just give you an idea of what to expect if things ever get back to normal now guys there's a number of different self-defense options out there you know you've got your p365 which really kind of was a game changer with 10 rounds much smaller pistol then you have the hellcat springfoot armory which has 11 rounds again much smaller pistol those are great options and if you want to have that extra capacity and i think that's what a lot of people are doing they like that smaller size but yet having more capacity than just a single stack with the glock g43x you do have your 10 round magazine which gives it decent capacity for one of these pistols but it's you know a little bit longer here but for guys that are glock guys this is really just a great option and again i've been carrying the g43x for a good while now but a lot of that has to do with the shield arms 15 plus 1 magazines but still this is 10 rounds it shoots like a full-size gun which will give you advantages over the sig or the hellcat which has a little more muzzle flip and to me this just feels a little bit better in your hand as far as shooting as far as concealed carry and making it really small you know it's hard to beat the p365 or the hellcat but as far as being able to hit your target that's also a consideration being able to take this out and just enjoy shooting it all the time at the range and of course we all have our different experiences and our different ways we shoot but i really like the g43x i like the way it shoots i like the way it feels and of course adding that mos option on here is really what i was looking for so it's really great to see that with glock guys to be just completely honest it's very difficult for me to pick up my glock g19 which has been my all-time favorite glock when i have the shield arms mags in this g43x mos rubber dummies is one of the best training tools on the market and you get a ten percent discount using suit zero zero when you click the link down in the description be strong be of good courage god bless america long live the republic [Music] [Music] [Music] which is just a plate here it's a adapter you take this off to my glock 19 because it would hold 50 rounds i hold 50. this will hold 50 rounds people people and the mos version which is modular optics sighting system no modular optic system going down to the range no big surprise we've been shooting glock g43xs for as long since they but one of the things you'll notice is that that it's not as long which means the modular sighting system and so this gives you a modular sighting system modular optic system the g43x mos the mos is for modular sighting system and it's not sightings modular optic system you doofus [Music] all right just calm down calm down is for the micro red dot it's a micro sighting system right here modular sighting system it's the modular citing something
