Why I Don’t Want to Like the G48 or G43x

haven't you got to come down bro can't be on the roof John I'm not coming down until everybody knows about sportsmen guide and shop some deals today yeah yeah this is not how sales work man no no one's gonna do that John I've made my demands they're not going cuz you're on a roof at worst you'd roll an ankle John people are in danger of not saving money on sportsmen Scot calm I appreciate that buddy but they're not gonna listen this people aren't gonna respond to this I feel like this changes everything this doesn't change anything come on buddy if you come on down now we'll look at sportsmen guides website together are you serious I'm serious we can do it right now me and you buddy okay I'm coming down John that's a good boy I'm proud of you [Music] why what's happening folks how about that intro I know they're getting better and better or perhaps dumber and dumber either way thanks for enduring them so right now all my YouTube gun friends and instructors are having their own little parties with the new Glock 43 X and the Glock 48 and I'm over here with my old rusty Glock 43 I wasn't invited to their party I don't have one I don't have either of those guns yet I'll remedy that sometime in the future for you guys but at present I'm just kind of looking at my setup where I go out I choose a weapon system and for me generally it's a Glock 19 or a Glock 43 and then I go just get tons of the magazines now the problem with the Glock 43 magazine is they're already like 35 bones and then if you want to add a extension to it then there's another 15 to 40 depending on which one you go to so man I'm really reluctant to all the sudden fall in love with the new Glock 43 X which does look awesome or the new Glock 48 which also looks awesome because now I have to go stockpile a ton of magazines so it's not just the difference for me if going to get a new gun it's hey I want to stockpile a whole bunch of magazines so I can run and gun with us typically when I go to the range to shoot i've got like 40 magazines already pre-loaded so i don't have to spend valuable range time stacking mag so that's just how I roll but regardless what I wanted to do is revisit the subject of the Glock 43 perhaps from the bitter perspective of everyone else's partying with their guns but hey which magazine extension should you get and how do you quickly install it so I've got two different options that I go for here's just your normal Glock 43 magazine and when you compare that this is the Vickers tactical base pad right there and you see the extension down there for size this gives you a +2 there's from the profile like so then there's also the tare and tactical base pads these are tougher material where these are plastic field these are more of a metal feel this doesn't feel cheap by any means but this is definitely Hardy or this tear and tactical base pad is and so what you get with that you is this magazine shoots out a good bit quicker one of the difficulties when your gun goes cold especially on the Glock 43 something like that you hit through your magazine and it doesn't fall you see that and that means you at you're spending valuable reload time where you have to reach up grab strip now go for your spare magazine and go back in and man that just sucks and again here you go I just push the button that one went out really well typically if you point this finger out it'll allow a little bit better to go out it's not doing it now that I show you but anyway it can stop short and then won't come up and then you got a strip if you have a heavier base pad and this one has rounds in it will shoot out a little bit quicker but when you have a really heavier one like the Terran base pads the real big reason why this one would be better than the vicar's one is because it is it has more weight to it so literally it just kind of shoots out of there shoots out so that's really great and then here's the +3 extension I'll compare the sizes for you on this just banging stuff around for you guys there's the 43 right there with a +3 right there and then compared to the vicar's one right there it's a plus 2 and if you compare it to just your standard magazine it's right here the 43 X will give you ten rounds plus one the plus three gives you nine rounds plus one so what you're picking up is an extra round on the 43 X and a little bit of increase in muzzle size I believe yeah I think that's right anyway so what I don't care about on the gun especially for a subcompact is a little bit longer slide right here if you have that doesn't really matter to me what matters to me for concealment is I don't want this very long so typically when I'm just carrying around I have got no extension on there just a basic little finger groove it doesn't give me any plus one capacity and I can slide that in so that really just disappear so that whatever even when I'm tucking and a shirt carrying appendix with this this just disappears and as you add links on right here then well it doesn't conceal is about as well and it kind of beats the point I might as well be carrying a Glock 19 if it's way out here for me yes this would still be skinnier but really the size because I'm already a skinny guy the width doesn't matter as much to me it's the length that does right so anyway what I recommend if your budget conscious is this Vickers bass pad right here is only like 10 to 15 bucks so you can get a bunch of these 10 15 bucks no sweat the reliability is good they're working for me just fine the Taran one's a little hardy or heavier-duty they're gonna be something like forty to fifty dollars per they will shoot out quicker and I think reloads are really important for subcompact guns for a Glock 19 or something what has happened that your 16 rounds into a fight and it's all come down to how fast can you hit that emergency reload whereas a Glock 43 or something smaller a subcompact you're gonna run cold much quicker which means your reload needs to be spot-on which means I really would like a magazine that shoots out of there I've got a conglomeration of both I carry one of the I carry the plus three at the ready in my holster right here semi plus three and then just this finger groove so typically I am rolling around like this with the ulti clip attachment on my tier 1 holster guys for all the base pads and whatnot you can look below in the description I'll have links for you let's go ahead and install one here's just your normal Glock 43 magazine and I will go ahead and take it apart with this snazzy tool this is pretty cool I'll provide a link for you below I don't know what it's called but it's called helps me out a lot if you don't have one of these snazzy tools that takes your magazine apart you can just grab some type of pin push it deep in there right there and then just push on the lip of your bass pad if you still can't get it out take this base pad and push down hard on some type of edge of a table or something especially if it's metal while pushing in right here and then it'll snap right out for me I have this snazzy tool so I'm going to use it and just like that easy be careful on this when you're easing I'll put your finger and your thumb over it so that the spring doesn't come out and take your head clean off yes and that dangerous not really someone's gonna take me seriously all right very good this is the Vickers one will install the only difference between that and the tearin one is this little metal rod right here once it's installed you pushed that down and this little allen screw and there can tighten and loosen stuff so here's the Vickers one I'll just basically push this in this will come with a different follower it'll come with a new spring and this so you'll go ahead and push it in right here go ahead and put that down like so and then we're just going to run the new base pad in like so like that and that's it that's all you need so basically you got the different options on which one you should get in case you also have envy of everyone's shiny new 43 X and 48 you can be one round away from them with a +3 extension somewhere the vicar's are plus twos so anyway guys train hard train smart and there's what to get and how to put it on see you next time and that is the video thanks so much for tuning and everyone remember to subscribe comment like all that stuff is fantastic thank you sportsmen guide for sponsoring this video and everyone out there train hard train smart and we'll see you next time
