Your 43x videos inspired me to get a 43x mos of my own and will be building it out similar to how your 43x is set up. Love the look and functionality of all the upgrades. Great video as always.
If ur looking for a watch, a casio duro is a classic. Not only does it not break the bank, but it doesn't break period. When you throw a matching metal bracelet on it it looks classy af, or you can use the stock silicone one for practical use
You inspired me to purchase a Glock 43x with the bells and whistles and I haven’t looked back since. Best thing I’ve done this year. I also have the Casio watch and get so many compliments on it. It’s also self adjustable and inexpensive. I decided to go with an Alien gear holster because it’s it’s affordable and it’s an all-in-one holster
Such a baller 43X, and I don't even carry glock. Something to keep in mind though, with that extra barrel length? It puts it flush with with the light and means that it won't cause AS MUCH build up on the lens.
Man the way this video is lit the camera positioning, the focus, the lights, the background and the editing all top notch! Best channel of its class so far. Question: What barrel do you have on your glock?
Omg, I was about to start planning an EDC canik SC build and checked the website to see what all you ran on your 2023 EDC and wondered if thered be an update anytime soon. You are a saint my friend 🙏
The new psa mags are a "gen 3" they went to the slick coat then later they fixed the problems that causthe feeding issues. I have some of the newest version and they run great in mine.
would you ever consider captions / subtitles? it’d really help me as the youtube captions never are that accurate to what you’re saying. love the content ❤️
i know your a fan of trigger tech triggers in your rifles. keep an eye out i just got to test out one of there new glock triggers and they are extreamly well built
I’ve been following the channel for a while and got inspired by your 43x, I’m curious about the round count you have put through it at this point and what the maintenance schedule looks like.
I built a 43x closely to yours, how do you like the RMR vs the holosun optic? The RMR you have on now looks very clean especially with the co witness setup.
I bought the shield arms gen 3 mags for my 43x and I got way too many malfunctions. I suggest if you want more rounds go with a different carry gun like the hellcat pro or the new m&p carry comp or p365 xmacro
I think it’s important to mention that you have to becareful when choosing non polymer mags as the metal mags can eat up any yeast polymer release button. Typically I’d say polymer with polymer and metal with metal
All this pain with buying mags and testing....Question but why not just get a Sheild plus/P365/ or even a Hellcat pro? Or is it just that you enjoy they glock?
I’m going to say this, I purposely went to the range today and shot 350 rounds with these shield arms mags, and had no issues, must be my build or what?
Mine worked well for months... Then they stopped working. I think the issue is longevity as most products work in the short term and when they're not subjected to dirt. It's what happens over time and use that concerns me.
I run a 43x and only thing I’ve done so far is add some mag grip extensions (doesn’t add capacity, just slightly lengthens the mags. I’m not worried about mag capacity so I was thinking of picking up two standard 10 round mags and then getting that mag well piece you have. Does it get in the way of standard mags with standard baseplates?
man i’d love to carry a glock but it’s just to much to put into it just to have an efficient fire arm don’t get me wrong oem glock is perfectly fine but for edc concealed carry having to rely on aftermarket mags sending my gun off or having to change things in order to be comfortable just isn’t worth it in my opinion when I could pay once for it to come with everything I need except light, holster, and red dot i’ve been carrying fn 509 t for about 4 years but looking to change but hard for a left handed shooter
Follower is getting stuck down with the +5 on shield arms gen 2 after I eject a few rounds and not feeding any tips? Shield arms has yet to contact me back
Yeah the shoe has very little to do with the mechanical safety of the firearm. As long as the main safety on the shoe works well, it won’t change anything. I’m mainly talking about “upgrading” springs, bars, detents, plungers, etc.
why 43x MOS over 48? i also carry a 43x but might get a 48 barrel slide and guide rod its just snappy and logically id think a 48 length would help but idk ive never shot one
If interested in ways to make the PSA mags more reliable, check out Chad’s video on School Of The American Rifle (SOTAR). Thank you for another awesome video 🤙🏻
I’m surprised at you. It’s edc. You know guns. And you bet your life on that s-15 mag or any aftermarket parts for that matter? It doesn’t matter how many rounds you ran through it. It’s when you need it, it won’t work, and that’s scary
Could not be any more fitting than to own a Glock and a Benchmade. Two companies resting in The laurels of 20 year old patents that have expired and falling further and further back to the competition, but still raking in dough by taking advantage of loyal cult followers 😂😂
I heard about this and there’s rumors that it only relates to linking sponsors directly to the description but because I have the kit page and don’t sell firearms it’s completely separate. So I’m just hoping that’s correct and I’m good 😅
reasons not to buy a 43x: 1) price - not the cheapest subcompact especially after all the mods you should do 2) snappy little fucker 3) trigger sucks 4) 10 rd magazines - having to source aftermarket mags and deal with reliability issues sucks 5) MOS requires plates for optics - stupid
Shield Arms mags and all after market Glock mags are junk! They are not worthy of self defense use. As the late, great, James Yeager said. Only OEM Glock mags should be used in Glock pistols. If you want 15 rounds, then carry a Glock 19!!
@@TheRios7018facts!! Like the shield arms I’ve been testing for my cousin when he’s on duty it’s been fine no issues and my psa micro dagger had been fine no issues it’s like people no a days have one problem and hates the whole business
Glocks not incapable of making a reliable stagger stack magazine. The design itself is less reliable. At least to glocks standards. Too much friction inside the magazine. Single stack and double stack are more reliable from a engineering standpoint.
Tells you not to change the inside of your gun, after he changed the barrel, mag catch, trigger, added a non factory adapter plate on top (will effect reliability if tigthened too much), and also added magwell. But guys don't worry, none of that will effect your reliability. Youre a clown
I will always appreciate the lighting in your videos the quality of your camera is genuinely really satisfying
The consistency of this channel is 🔥🔥🔥
We have very similar EDC’s! An OTF, a simple watch, a small pocket light, small card holder, Glock 19 and a T1C holster!
I’m about to steal your whole flow boss

most casio watches are solid options for those who want a watch and not a fashion statement or a symbol of wealth.
@@noveske.2236 I’d agree, but the Duro is definitely a loved watch, even among watch enthusiasts who have millions of dollars worth of timepieces

I’m a member of the kit page . But i want to know where i can find the exact same knurled threaded barrel protector you running
I want to get this exact set up so beautiful!
Good stuff as always!!!
Those suppressor height sights are wild tall. Had the same issue with my 19 Mos. Sold it now I'm only willing to mount using direct mill.
If you use PSA mags after trying the shield arms, make sure to remove the metal mag release before running the PSA mags

Have five of the gen2 and 5 Shield with no issues. They have been great
Best Guntuber on the interwebs.
Have you ever EDC a G19? What makes you prefer the 43x over the 19? Can you shoot the 43x just as good?
Hey GUNMEN just caught up with your video and congratulations hitting 100k subs Man
👍
Love the Overwatch Precision trigger shoes on my glocks!
Love the watch. Wish it had a light. Good video!
Seiko makes a handsome titanium watch to match your flashlight.
Excited
Would you ever build out a Zenith ZF-5?? I’d be interested to see your take on it and to see your full analysis

Wondering if that Empire Katana Magwell will fit my Shadow Systems CR920XP 🤔
Buy it and hope for the best?
Psa dagger has worked great for me.
PSA Mags have worked flawlessly on my G43X
I have a pair of rayban wafers but im digging the pair you have
Why the 4311 over the combat trigger from Johnny glock?

Any reason why you went back to the stock slide as opposed to running the arc reactor?
The arc slide is on a whole other lower haha it’s its own gun. I still love and shoot it
Have you ran into any issues with arc division so far at all? I just bought one and excited to try it out!
1 week til range day😎 can’t wait
LFG!
Have you tried a ported barrel on the 43x if so would you maybe suggest that instead of the threaded
What MOA did you get on your Trijicon red dot?
Which holster did you get for the light combo on the 43x? I am unsure which one will fit now adding the light.
Can you create a video on how or who to go to to build a Gucci gun? Also, love the videos. Keep up the great work
I’ve always thought wearing your watch in your right wrist is weird. But you might be left hand dominant
Thst jacket is nice where did you get it

Do you need the adapter for the 507k or does it fit without it ?
The links for the Gen 2 mags don’t work, is it just me???
What grain Speer gold dot ammo do you run?
Do you know if PSA micro mags have issues with the Shield arms Mag well? I remember you had both
I haven’t found a good holster for the tlr8 sub, really hope tier 1 makes one.
Have you tried Henry Holsters?

Did you mention that barrel thread ? Is it just a protector or something for a better shot?
You updated your trigger but said you don’t mess with any internals
Yeah the shoe has very little to do with the mechanical safety of the firearm. As long as the main safety on the shoe works well, it won’t change anything. I’m mainly talking about “upgrading” springs, bars, detents, plungers, etc.
PSA Micro dagger 15 round mags all the way.
Update the "LATEST BUILD" link on your website 😅
Haha wait it is updated what am I missing??
dude on my benchmade shootout the action broke the 4th day
Can you do a video build on a truck gun gun build? That would be dope.
What camera do you use
Where can I get the trigger you were talking about. Not the Johnny glock one but other one
I think it’s linked on his kit page. But honestly, johnny glocks trigger or bust.
Second video asking you to review a PDP. (They don’t have a slimline pistol. Still think You would enjoy it.)
They have nice grip texturing, great trigger, kind of blocky and snappy slide.
Do you have a link to that twp trigger shoe? I cannot seem to find it
Linked on the kit page with a discount code!
you dont run the arc slide anymore?
I have the arc slide on its own frame haha whole different gun. And I love it
What happened to the arc slide?!
Still have it on a separate frame! It’s its own gun haha love it still.
weird comment but what hoodie is that? Like it.
need that color dropped
It’s actually available on the site! This is the faded pigment black moth hoodie. www.gunmenusa.com/product-page/embroidered-moth-hoodie
why 43x MOS over 48? i also carry a 43x but might get a 48 barrel slide and guide rod its just snappy and logically id think a 48 length would help but idk ive never shot one
I love the 48 nothing against it at all! Would totally carry it if I had one haha

I wish glock make different external design but same internal mechanism..
What barrel are you running
The threaded one is from silencerco! Great barrel
I gave my brother two psa mags,may hav to take em back
background song?
Good brother…is sponsorship hurting your channel?
THREADED BARREL ON A CARRY GUN?
I’m surprised at you. It’s edc. You know guns. And you bet your life on that s-15 mag or any aftermarket parts for that matter? It doesn’t matter how many rounds you ran through it. It’s when you need it, it won’t work, and that’s scary
