just randomly stumbled across this video trying to see other people’s g43x builds to get some inspiration for mine and honestly i’ve fallen in love with the look of yours man, looks amazing!!
I really appreciate the video. I just bought my first pistol today I went with the 43x mos. I fully went in the shop with my mind made up on a G19 (like most usually do lol) but when he brought me the 43x and said try this one too while your here, I fell in love. I don’t know what it is about this gun but every time I put it down, waited a few mins and went back to it, it was like a glove in my hand. I really wanted to get a 19 but I had the convo with myself in my head, and knew I was only getting the g19 based on things I saw in videos. The 43x mos was actually in my hand and it felt “like the right one” lol
"The original kit website I used previously restricted what I could link, so I just *built my own website* so I could link whatever I wanted" What a power move.
I got the same gun a couple days ago for my 21st birthday and I’m close to finishing the build already, I’m making it similar to yours while also keeping in lines with my state laws but thanks for this video!!
Been looking for some info on the 43x mos as a new add to my EDC rotation and I absolutely love your build! Not only that but your video quality and the info you share is so helpful. I was originally jumping back and forth between the 48, 43x or p365xl to bring into my rotation but man I think you may have swayed me into the 43x! Earned a sub here, can't wait to see more builds from you!
Rotation? About as dumb as this guys video game version . Same tool all day, every day.. anythingnelse is just for show.. just like his little terminator 43x... Get a 43x, SA 15rd mag, quick clip-maybe 2,and if you can't handle any situation with that, you're trying too hard.
I had them in my last 43x and I had a ton of jamming issues BUT I just built out a new 43x mos and tried them again and so far they have been perfect. I need to put 500 more rounds down range before I come to a consensus though! I’ll be making a vid on it soon!
@@Stone2915 There's all kinds of problems to be had. Use the original plastic mag catch and the steel mags are a reliability issue. Switch to the steel mag catch in the plastic Glock mags become a reliability issue. decisions decisions
I've had my 43x Mos for a year now with holo 507k and SA gen 1 15 rd mags. Mags fail to lock back on last rd 507k just died on me, changed the battery for a premium battery, worked for a day and died again. Going to get with holosun to see what they can do but I've learned that I actually prefer irons tbh.
The Talon grip pro version has almost a roofing tile texture and its amazing! My hands slipped on the rubber version and the granulate was too abrasive, but the pro is the way to go!
Those clips are made by Discreet Carry Concepts and you can purchase them individually and put them on any holster you'd like. I personally have them on a crossbreed holster and I love it. They also make that other style holster clip that has the bolts side by side with more of a square shape on some more basic Kydex holsters
Could you make a video about how you would conceal carry while wearing a shirt tucked in (professional) and how you would carry while going to the gym?
Can you do a brief cleaning/maintenance video for EDC. This is info I think a lot of people, including myself, could use a lot more of. Thanks brother keep up the super high quality content.
not gonna lie i gotta feeling u gonna get the glock 47 when its comes out and you gonna make everyone fall in love bro💯I love the setup the tape been trending lately
I really wanted the S15 to hit the OEM reliability level. While I appreciate the ingenuity of Shield Arms, I just can't suppress the alarms in my head about the possible reliability issues. Maybe things will improve in the future, but for now I am rocking stock 10 rounders with a back up +4 for EDC; I am confident that I can do work with 25 rounds should the situation arise. Great videos, and I look forward to more content from you in the future.
@@BananaRaid I bought some of the Ghost Inc. +4 base pads. They are polymer instead of aluminum, so they add minimal weight. Functionality seems fine with manual loading tests, but I am hoping to get out to the range with them over the next couple of weeks. I will report back once I have done some testing.
@@jt6980 I've actually also went with Ghost Inc and the +4. Although I've yet to take it out to the range, the +2 they offer is very comfortable in a side car and adds minimal print. They also both look fantastic imo
I copied the basis of the build. Solid as hell!! RMRcc cut by C&H Precision, TLR7 Sub, S15 +5 magazines, Apex Trigger, Shield Magwell, Shield Slide Release! Fully inspired by this 🔥
Excellent! And, your cadence detail in presentation is on point. Well done. Unfortunately, the Katana mag well seems to be on backorder. Boo. Do you have a vid on barre/comp combo? I'm gonna mod mine for that, I suspect.
Had mine for a while got 2 shield arms Mags, Factr USA trigger, ameriglo sights, recover rail with olight mini 2 then a awesome sidecar holster made by slimfit holsters a really good holster up there with tier 1 and trex arms.
Ghost plus 4 works flawlessly and is only 20 bucks.. Ghost extensions have always worked for last 15 years I used em.. It's just a sleeve n comes with a new spring n uses the oem glock plate.. Its flawless and light...
If anyone is looking for a reliable plus 4. Ghost inc makes one that I haven't had any problems with at all. Uses the OEM parts to do you just change the base plate switch over the spring and go.
FYI…XS DXT2 Suppressor/RMR height sights are not made/available for the 43XMOS. They’re available in standard height only for the 43X. I just checked their website.
Good to know!! I do still love the standard height ones I have on my build though! Because I have the holosun I realized I really don’t even need the SH version!
@@GUNMENusa I also got a response from Trijicon today. They also said they don’t make an iron sight at any sort of suppressor height for the 43XMOS that’s also compatible w/ their own RMRcc (that’s what I have on mine). Almost all of the other Glock models are supported, but no love whatsoever for the 43/43x/48. I think that’s ridiculous.
If why don't you just use shieldarms mags??? They are a double stack, steel magazine that hold 15 rounds in the 43x. The extention is a really stupid idea when shieldarms is out there
On the JGlocks site. Which trigger upgrade option did you select? “No thanks” … “Striker” … “JG Flatface Metal Shoe” …. “JG Flat Face Metal Shoe & Striker” considering getting one.
just got a gen 5 43x was wondering if you ever had an issue with an oem magazine getting caught on a oem mag release button while inserting mag just got the handgun and are frequently getting caught up on the mag release stopping get magazine in its tracks while inserting?
What ammo are you using for range and for self defense when you use your 43x mos set up? what about when you use it with your suppressor? Thanks for your time! Awesome Vids!!!
I like this video man. Was looking for different options and, simply, different ways the 43x MOS could be modified. Straight to the point, clear and consice descriptions. You didn't try and hit us with the, "But first, let's go into what ______, really is." 🙄 Subbed*I
What ammo are you using. Since I’ve switched my magazine to the Shield Arm and changed the magazine release. Seems the only ammo I can shoot out of it is practice ammo. Anything else and I have problems with the gun
Any reason you're not using Shield mags? even the flush mag from Shield gives you 15 reliable rounds, higher cap than your giant extension. Tbh even with 13 rounds that first round was popping up a little delayed!
I stand corrected from my last comment in your last video on the magwell. You are right the Katana is way better, feels better than the shield arms as well… great content as usual…
So I just got my gun and I’m learning about accessories and add ons, can anyone help me and let me know if the tip of the gun where the bullet comes out from, is it an add on or does the that part come with the gun? And what is it properly called?
My guy made a Julian Smith reference. I knew I liked this channel. Would you ever consider having your grip stippled? Wondering if it’s worth or just stick to talon grips.
Hahaha Julian was my hero in high school 😂 and I did think about doing stipple work, but because I conceal it I thought it might rub my skin off so I went with a softer option 😂 but I’m not against stippling! Just depends on how you plan to carry
Hi Gunmen, Very nice gun, I am very interested on building the same. What's the Grand-Total you spend on that gun? And if you have to sell it, How much would you sell it for it for?

Nice to know “6061 aluminum is a corrosion resistant steel “
🤦🏻♂️
I think if your looking for a reliable mag with more capacity. Shield arms makes a 15 round mag for G43s
I had them in my last 43x and I had a ton of jamming issues BUT I just built out a new 43x mos and tried them again and so far they have been perfect. I need to put 500 more rounds down range before I come to a consensus though! I’ll be making a vid on it soon!
@@GUNMENusa ah I see. Because that shield arms mag really make a huge difference in the capacity. Alright man will be wiaitngfor your vid.
All hearsay but I’ve heard using this mags makes you have to swap out the mag ejector as well
@@Stone2915
There's all kinds of problems to be had.
Use the original plastic mag catch and the steel mags are a reliability issue.
Switch to the steel mag catch in the plastic Glock mags become a reliability issue.

@@GUNMENusa what mag are you useing in this video??

They also make that other style holster clip that has the bolts side by side with more of a square shape on some more basic Kydex holsters
better get the 17 if you're after higher caps, besides, the "concealability" of the 43 seems to be ignored...
Could you make a video about how you would conceal carry while wearing a shirt tucked in (professional) and how you would carry while going to the gym?
Maybe a jacket or ankle holster.
Ooo this is a sick idea!! Both things I do regularly actually so I’ll definitely look into making a video for both!
@@GUNMENusa 😃 I'm so excited to see!! There is hardly any quality content out there about that. Thank you!
Dope video as always bro can’t wait for your channel to blow up I’m 100% sure it’ll happen in time. Everything about to video is on point
Brandon Thank you so much bro!! I hope it will blow up one day haha
@@GUNMENusa how do you feel about the black arch mag angle being more straight up compared to the tier 1 being more slanted
@@brandondaunce1788 i actually don’t notice it that much! It’s not enough to change my draw 👌🏼 so no big deal!
is the empire made out of 6061 aluminum or steel? because im sure its aluminum

For anyone who wants to know….the Forward Controls Design Mounting Plate For GLOCK 43X/48 MOS is compatible with the Trijicon RMRcc.
Glock store has a Double Diamond +4 extension magazine. Same issue the 14 rounds is right and 13 rounds feed better.

Your videos are fantastic. The editing is great and recommendations are solid!
thank you bro!! seriously thank you!
Are you still running with the Entrada Holster ? If you had to choose between it and the Tier 1 what would you choose ?
new vid coming soon on this but I would go Black Arch. Less expensive, better lead times, and it clicks in. both are good options though!
I have the Glock 43X MOS with shieldarms S15, one 15rd mag (flush fit) and two 20rd backup mags work great.
jelous
@@GUNMENusa go ahead and order some for yours
@@southerndad68 haha so i have 2 of them but they jam in my gun like crazy so I cant use them.
love you're videos keep the hard work
Thank you bro 😄🙏🏼 will do!
The printing on that holster is wild 😂
“I MADE THIS FOR YOU” hahaha love the content!
Haha thank you bro!! 😂 I watched that back and laughed at myself. Definitely a highlight of the vid 😂
Nothing beats a tricked out g43x and nice hot pot of Kool aid
I really enjoy your videos dude.
Keep it up.
Thank you bro!! More to come!
I copied the basis of the build. Solid as hell!! RMRcc cut by C&H Precision, TLR7 Sub, S15 +5 magazines, Apex Trigger, Shield Magwell, Shield Slide Release! Fully inspired by this 🔥
You need the shield arms magazine with the +5 extension, can't go wrong with 20+1!
I have 2 but they had so many issues in my gun jamming I couldn’t run them reliably sadly. I’m still diagnosing the issue
@@GUNMENusa are you running the 1st gen or second? Have you replaced the mag release?
Excellent! And, your cadence detail in presentation is on point. Well done. Unfortunately, the Katana mag well seems to be on backorder. Boo. Do you have a vid on barre/comp combo? I'm gonna mod mine for that, I suspect.
Do u use a mag holster for ur extended mag? If so, which one? Got the +4 and and now it tends to lean outwards. I need a ‘deeper’ mag holster.
Could you remind me what iron sights you put on it?
Had mine for a while got 2 shield arms Mags, Factr USA trigger, ameriglo sights, recover rail with olight mini 2 then a awesome sidecar holster made by slimfit holsters a really good holster up there with tier 1 and trex arms.
awesome build bro! great job 🔥
What trigger are you running and what’s your review of it ?
That empire katana is mean as hell. I’ve got the shield arms premium magwell. It’s like the katana. Really a nice magwell still
Ghost plus 4 works flawlessly and is only 20 bucks.. Ghost extensions have always worked for last 15 years I used em..
It's just a sleeve n comes with a new spring n uses the oem glock plate.. Its flawless and light...
If anyone is looking for a reliable plus 4. Ghost inc makes one that I haven't had any problems with at all. Uses the OEM parts to do you just change the base plate switch over the spring and go.
I just got my Katana today and my TRex sidecar great vid looking for the best upgrades that fit.
Heck yeah bro!! I love mine! 🔥
FYI…XS DXT2 Suppressor/RMR height sights are not made/available for the 43XMOS. They’re available in standard height only for the 43X. I just checked their website.

If why don't you just use shieldarms mags??? They are a double stack, steel magazine that hold 15 rounds in the 43x. The extention is a really stupid idea when shieldarms is out there
Which holster would you prefer?
are all of these parts compatible with the glock 43? or would i need a whole different build?
i got the GS +4 extensions for the OEM mags and same issue they only hold +3. but they work great! no jams or hiccups.
Ooo good to know bro!! Thank you for the heads up 🙏🏼
The magwell was made out of aluminum, so its high strength corrosion resistance stainless steel?
why not get the shield arms 15 round mags. and the 15+5
On the JGlocks site. Which trigger upgrade option did you select? “No thanks” … “Striker” … “JG Flatface Metal Shoe” …. “JG Flat Face Metal Shoe & Striker” considering getting one.
full package! shoe & Striker! the full package is what makes the trigger feel so smooth. you need it all man! worth it!
The gun is cool but I don’t understand the threaded barrel on a little gun… the threaded cap is likely to pop off while shooting.
Cool Glock and i like the quality of the video very profesional 😎
just got a gen 5 43x was wondering if you ever had an issue with an oem magazine getting caught on a oem mag release button while inserting mag just got the handgun and are frequently getting caught up on the mag release stopping get magazine in its tracks while inserting?
That's one clean 43x
Why not just do the shield arms mag catch mod and roll with the 15 rounders?
Try S15 shield mags,. I've had. No problems. Not one 15 rds
Great video! Definitely should have way more subs! Great website too!
Thank you bro!! Workin on the subs 😄 maybe one day!
have you tried the shield arms mags for 15 & 20 rounds?
The XS night sights…you have suppressor height or standard? I have the same set up as far as optic. Need to upgrade iron sites
PSA 15 round mags are good to go.
What ammo are you using for range and for self defense when you use your 43x mos set up? what about when you use it with your suppressor? Thanks for your time! Awesome Vids!!!
Would you consider a comparison/contrast between the 19 MOS & the 43X MOS?
Have you tried the Wrekz M6 IWB holster?
What mag release button are you using ?
I just got a 43x mos about a month ago. I got the Shield S15 mags. I love them. Is there a reason for not going with them?

What ammo are you using. Since I’ve switched my magazine to the Shield Arm and changed the magazine release. Seems the only ammo I can shoot out of it is practice ammo. Anything else and I have problems with the gun
Which polymer mag release do you use? Is it stock or aftermarket?
why did you go with the red dot over the green dot?
Just get the PSA 15 rd mag.
If you had to choose, talon grips OR goin tape. Which would be better
I’m thinking talon :)
@@GUNMENusa gotcha thank you
Any reason you're not using Shield mags? even the flush mag from Shield gives you 15 reliable rounds, higher cap than your giant extension. Tbh even with 13 rounds that first round was popping up a little delayed!
You should check out the magwell an mag extensions from SLR Rifleworks
I cannot seem to find any accessories on glock's website
Excellent video. Subscribed!

Heck’s yeah! Checkout the latest 43x update vid!
I usually jus put one in the chamber then load 13 in the mag!!
Do you know when goon tape is coming back
I had a quick question does the tyrant designs extension slide off easy...I got two and they silde off my mags really easy.
So I know this is a fun video but where did you get that bracelet lol super clean! I need one!
Why aren’t you using shield arms mags?
You got a shopping list to all the parts?
How's that holster compared to the werkz m6?
Are you going to have your slide milled for the RMRcc? I had CHPWS do mine, and it turned out really well.

Did you every get the extentions from glock store and if so did you like them better than the tryant extentions?
Wow you just sold me on upgrading to the 43x
Haha heck yeah bro!! You will love it!
Dumb question. I have a 43x. Debating on getting a milled slide/threaded barrel/507k. Shouldn't I just buy a 43x MOS and a barrel and be done lol.
What guide rod are you using?
can you still using s15 magazines?
The threaded barrel you have on there did you have to buy the piston to make it fit as well? Love the way this one looks.
What’s if my gun is stippled? Will the mag well still work ?
Oooo good question. I would sand down the area where the magwell touches if it doesn’t work! But that’s worth it in my opinion!
Yeah…the Vickers slide release is the truth. Was a little sharp on the edges and stiff in the beginning but broke in nicely.
Absolutely bro. I can for sure say it’s one of the best inexpensive upgrades you can make 👌🏼👌🏼
I got the Kagwerks raised version. Love it!
What kind of grip do u have on there?
What edc belt you using?
Hi Gunmen,
Very nice gun, I am very interested on building the same.
What's the Grand-Total you spend on that gun? And if you have to sell it, How much would you sell it for it for?
