Just use federal ammo. Don’t even experiment around. I’ve been a cop for 19 years. I’ve seen a lot of ammo. Just go federal. You are doing a great job traing. Great job.
I have the same setup but with a 407k Green x2 and I absolutely love it. I believe the weight of the light and the dot help with the snappiness as well. I love carrying this thing as it conceals really well and you don’t lose shootability. I also stick with OEM mags cause I believe if I need more than 21 rounds I’m probably in trouble and need a rifle anyway. Keep up the great work brother and carry on!
I have the non MOS version with a TLR 6 light, a Hogue grip, and I painted the front dot orange. Everything else is stock. I totally agree with everything you mentioned.
Had the 43x switched to the 48 and couldn't be happier. I understand why you would choose to go with the OEM mags but I've used 5 different S15 magazines and shot around 1500 rounds through them with no malfunction and I'm very confident carrying the S15 mags, just my experience.
@@ryrysinger wanted the longer barrel and the two holsters I had fit the 48. So I was already concealing the extra length anyway really the only difference as far as concealing the 48 would be the extra weight.
Thanks for the detailed video! I’m finally getting my conceal carry license soon and was look into a smaller firearm than my current, I just so happened to be looking at this one and your review helped a ton!
No problem, I’m glad you enjoyed the review. Enjoy your new purchase, I hope you love it as much as I love mine. Thanks for watching and have a great day!
@@RetUSNdude That is really interesting - I just checked their site now and you're right, it only says XSC. I ordered this holster the first week of October and it had an option for TLR-7 sub. I would reach out to them and ask, they have a great CSR team. I'm not kidding though, it really had an option for the TLR-7 sub when I ordered. Hope this helps. (team@trex-arms.com)
Great gun for people who live in the restricted magazine capacity states. I totally agree with you on keeping OEM magazines ! And you should be able to neutralize your target with 11 or less rounds. Because traveling through the District of Columbia you can only have 21 rounds on your person legally.
Good shooting! Try CCI Blazer for target ammo. ....tens of thousands of rds --- ZERO failures! FWIW: 48 = 4.17" bbl, 588 g empty .. 19 = 4.02" bbl, 670g empty So, you are smart enough have recognized the ultimate reliability of Glocks in general....AND..... the value of bbl length for increased velocity & sight radius, as well as the additional weight for stabilization. For me, G19 conceals fine, 15 rd (G19) mag in the gun, 17 rd (G17) spare mag(s) on the belt. THEN, once you have a reliable pistol, the next best thing is a whole lotta' rounds! I am the guy whose EDC for years was a G17....and, for reference ......I have - and / or have had - 17, 19, 21, 41, 43, 48. Everybody gets to have an opinion......IMHO.....the G19 GEN 5 is the perfect solution for EDC!
Got my 48 mos back from gl9ck runs perfectly now with all my s15 mags i also have a t rex holster have the og trex armes for a 19 and i have the 2.0 t rexarms so had experience lead time and warranty are great also i carry liberty civil defense 50 grain at 2040 fps these bullets are very light and are just really nice for edc .
5:15 id probly shoot the camera on accident right there, I see what you mean about not switching out to the Shield Arms 15 round mags because it does also require a mag release switch too, however 99% of videos about them have shown great reliability, and a 10 round full size gun just doesnt feel right being in Texas but definitely do what you’re most comfortable with and cheers!
I often carry a regular Glock 48 due to weight & fact I am age 72. 43X is ok, but I have come to prefer a 4 inch barrel/slide. Get a better sight view. I carry a 19 & 45 some, So I am kinda in a 4 inch Glock guy.
Yes I agree!!! Me personally I cannot see putting another 1,000.00 dollars in a 600 dollar pistol. I own 10 pistols and I do not have any red dots or lights on any of them. I just laid away me a G48 at local gun store but it’s not MOS!!!
Dude I'm 2 minutes and 40 seconds in and you're hitting on all the points why I'm considering the 48 after carrying and shooting the 43x and the 19 for a long time. The 43x is good but shootability against something like a 19 it doesn't compare and the barrel length does concern me a bit for the 43x at longer distances. I'm sure bsllistically it's fine but having the barrel length the same length the FBI, Navy Seals, and other police and military orgs trust in gives me that extra confidence in the sidearm. The 19 is super solid aside from carrying it for long periods(10-12 hours)can be a little uncomfortable and concealing it iwb while wearing a t-shirt isn't the greatest. It's definitely doable but not the greatest. Flannels are great and obviously sweaters are great. Tight t-shirts no way lol and I'm pretty fit and skinny in the mid section area. I also noticed the light(TLR 7) on my 19 does aid in muzzle flip rise so was happy to hear you mention that detail on your 48. The 48 may be the perfect option! I'd like to stay stock so the 10 round mags are a little setback from the 19's fifteen round mags and interchangability with mags up to 17 and 33 rounds but not terrible for civilian use. I think the 48 is my next option and looking forward to see how it feels iwb. Thanks for the great review!
Thanks for the feedback Matt, I sincerely appreciate it! - You cannot go wrong with either option. In my humble opinion however, the 48 is the way to go.
I like CCI Blazer Brass. I don't know if I would use Tula. I am considering buying a Glock 48. I have a few Glock 43x...both with Shield magazines, magazine well, and magazine catch. One has a red dot and light, the other doesn't. The only thing I don't like is that they are murder on the thumbs.
Does it concern you at all how large the gap is between the holster and the trigger? I can get my pinky in there and pull the trigger when the gun is fully seated. Their customer support said they didn't care and it wasn't something to be worried about. Do you know of any g48 mos tlr-7 sub holsters that do not have a gap like that?
I think I saw you use the slide lock as a release instead or racking it manually.. that may be why you had the issues… (just a guess.. I don’t really know what I’m talking about!). I’m torn between the 43X MOS and the 48.. such a hard decision!
You mentioned that you previously carried a CZ P07, can you talk about the reason for switching away and comparing it now to the 48? Thanks in advance.
Thank you for posting this video. I am currently looking at getting the same setup that you have. I'm curious how your height/weight is. This will be my first concealed carry pistol, and I'm a little worried it will be too big. Also, do you ever carry with a shirt tucked in? Thanks.
if you dont mind me askin, what is your height and weight? cus i was lookin at the 43x but wanted to go with the 48, but im only 5 foot 10 and like 165 pounds. like will the 2 make much difference?
Great review. Quick question, what’s your opinion on the g26? I have the 48,19, and 19x. I love the 48 and 19, I just think the 19 is too big to carry.
Hello Dillon, I honestly do not have time behind a G26 to make a fair statement. However, I would still go straight for the 48 over it - for the fact that I can get a full size grip and it fits better in my hands as opposed to the double stack Glock models.
Just use federal ammo. Don’t even experiment around. I’ve been a cop for 19 years. I’ve seen a lot of ammo. Just go federal. You are doing a great job traing. Great job.

Did you need a mounting plate?
@@chrisrios3914 yea I’m using the C&H Precision plate. It has held up extremely well with no issues.
I have the non MOS version with a TLR 6 light, a Hogue grip, and I painted the front dot orange. Everything else is stock. I totally agree with everything you mentioned.
I’m rocking that Glock 48 MOS myself with talon grips, TLR8 sub light, Holosun EPS carry with still the Glock OEM sights as my EDC CCW. It rocks.
Out of my glocks the 48 is my absolute favorite.
What Glocks do u have?
damn...what an outstanding review. No B.S around editing, get straight to the point. LOVE it.....

43x with HRC comp gives the same length with insane shoot ability.

Why runs differ ammos from you carry? shoot what you carry! that stokepipes probably from steel case Tula! Good review.

Don't blame the gun, is the steel shell. Use brass is a big deference
Excellent shooting dude. Thanks for the review.
Good review man. I don’t know if it’s the angle or not, but that shot with the tight group - looks like you’re leaning back a bit…
As much as I appreciate tula has always been a source of issues for me lol. I switched to Aguila and have had no issues.
I thoroughly enjoyed this review. Interested in your updated thoughts on the 48 mos
I appreciate the feedback brother - I'm still carrying this everyday in the same setup. It's not going anywhere!
@@BlueScoutArmory have you added the kagwerkz slide release to the 48¿
The Glock 48 is a self defense gun, no reason to add optics and stuff. Full size pistols yes.

Nice editing man, I’m currently weighing between a 43x and a 48. Helpful info.
Thanks for the feedback Matt, I sincerely appreciate it! - You cannot go wrong with either option. In my humble opinion however, the 48 is the way to go.
48 for balance on the waistline brother
For CCW purpose...says the 43x is a better option.
Which one did you end up getting? I'm in the same position now. Can't decide
@@robsteer5634 I went with the 43x, needed something for the GF’s purse, I’ll be grabbing a 48 probably around summertime 23.

How's a failure to extract an ammo issue if I can shoot Tul ammo in my guns without a malfunction?
You said you used the 10-8 sights. What heights were the front and rear sights?
I’m definitely sticking with stock mags also 👍🏼 I Carry Glock for its reliability you jeopardize that if you don’t use Glock mags .
Lmao have fun with your 10 rounds then
I had a few issues with that ammo also.
Maybe add some thumb grips for better grip or better ammo. 🤔

Did you just point your gun sideways with a mag in at the range?
Great video. Thank you for sharing.
Does having the 48 make the lens of your light less dirty? I have the 43x and it notoriously covers the lens.
It does not. You can shoot a few hundred rounds and the light glass will look just as good as it did before any rounds were fired
What holster is that? Can you link it

Hello - 5ft 8in 150lb - I usually just wear a t-shirt or flannel when carrying. For tucked in shirt, I would probably go with a different option

Why do people bring up the issue of limp wristing. If you need to worry about the way you're carrying a gun. Then it's a crap gun. That's any gun.
