It would be good to do a video comparing the G43 and G26 where you show the difference in concealability. Wear a form fitted shirt and show on camera the practical difference. Just a video idea that might help get some views.
Great review. Got the 43 for the wife and the just picked up a 26 with an RMR. Hate the RMR - selling the 26 - if it doesn’t sell I will slap the RMR on my FN SLP and keep the 26. Both great guns, prefer the 29 and the wife prefers her FNS9C over the 43! Unless your looking for an ankle piece, the 26 is the way to go.
I really love my G26 Gen 4. It's my EDC. For a back-up gun in an ankle holster I prefer a J-frame. S&W 442. Since I'm 58 and getting up there in years, if I got into a fight, most likely I would end up on my back so a J-frame in an ankle holster would be easier for me to grab and use... but that's just me...
You're videos are making me want a 26. I never had one. I have a 36, but ammo is so expensive to shoot and I like the fun stick option in the 26. I'm starting to get an itch for the 26. Great.
I beg to differ, the grip length Is what makes It harder to conceal. I agree the 43 has It's uses but, with my 26,19 and 17 I can carry the same 17rnd spare mag how ever the 43 Is better for a deeper conceal option......DAMN now I want a G43. Good video.
I like my 43, but i like my 27 even more. Though it is thicker, it's not too much thicker. My problem with concealing was the length of the grip, or the height of the gun. And you get a few more rounds and the ability to use larger mags, i keep a 15 round backup from my 22 nearby just in case 10 isn't enough.
I love my 26 and I'm not willing to switch to the 43 for any of those reasons in this video. My Duty Weapon was a G19 which I love to death but never carried every day. I do carry my G26 and also my G36 in a pocket holster and on occasion, I carry a Taurus TCP, also in a front pocket holster when I need very deep conceal carry. IMO, the .380 round, with the proper ammo is a good self defense round. I am confident with any of my carry guns to defend my life.
I'm not giving up my G26 either lol, this video was just to show someone who is trying to decide between the 2 guns, and may be newer to guns or Glocks, I love my 26!
I've always found grip length is the biggest factor in concealment. Is it poking my TShirt during the summer? I have a G26 and a Shield. I hate the trigger in the shield but can't justify a 43 given how close it is to a 26 in size and the rounds it gives up.
my g26 is just like yours with edge connector, and 25 cent trigger job but i would recommend the kineti-tech flat faced trigger shoe...it has made mine a completely different gun...awesome beyond words...check it out ...great vid by the way....i was thinking of the g43 but for all the more size difference i think ill keep the 11 round cap of my g26...thanks for the help!
Can you do a video on the different aftermarket connectors? Seems like there are so many and can't get a answer on a good one. I just want one that replaces the stock connector. My trigger group is all stock.
while on the glock 43, i would like a pocket carry video and holster plus different ways to carry it. I want a pocket pistol again. I had an lcp custom, kinda want a 9mm. Like kahr cm9 or glock 43 if it aint to big.
You gotta dry fire my g26 I did a polish job with flitz and I have the ghost trigger connector and I shoot about once every two weeks on average at least 100-200 rounds of 9mm it's pretty nice Paul
i owned a G43 for a little while but never could shoot it all too well. fired a friends 43 and same results. I have smaller hands and thought the trigger reach was fine, idk why i shot so poorly with it even after I swapped connectors. carry a G19. my ol lady has a sig 938, she doesnt shoot it very well but i can rapidly blow out the center of a b27 at about 10 yards with it.
The Danor88 roger that. I test fifed 26, 43 and 19. Im a smaller guy, love the way the 43 fit me, but it hurt to shoot, and the 26 with pinky mag is basically the same as the 19. 19 shot like a dream. Have a 19 laying beside my bed as i type this
well if that's the case and you feel like that you should have shouted out the guy that gave you the idea to make the video.. it's called common courtesy 😏
+H4T Certified Glock Fanboy just checked it out. I seen on the Glock 43 facebook page they brought these out. Good stuff. Love the look of the tungsten guide rod.
although I like the 43 the G26 in my oppinion is the best bang for the buck plus you get the advantage of being able to use all other Glock 9mm mags
DC2Megaboost amen! That's exactly what I think.

The 43 carries so easy, I have a 26 but never carry it. If I can carry the 26 I'll just carry my 19.
The fact that you can use the 19/17/ and 33 round mags with the 26 makes it a MUCH BETTER VALUE than the 43

Nice job.Still gonna keep my 26 and claim it's the best. : )
Thanks for that comparison, im really liking that G43.
Yea width is a big deal when you conceal carry i sold my 26 and got a 43 so much more comfortable to carry.
Cool vid H4T, but I'll stick with my 26...both of 'em.

Nice video. Did you see the .45acp Shield yet?
+Tactical Priority Yeah I saw a pic of that, pretty sweet!!
Glock 26 all the way Paul
I love the Glock 43 and dont forget you can always add rounds through baseplates.
glock 43 is my fav I want a 26-thow great vid keep it up.

I carry a G19 gen 5 appendix carry . The handle prints some with just a T-shirt , I’ve decided to look into the G26 🤷🏻♂️
Can you compare the g43 with the smith and wesson 500?
LOL
+H4T Certified Glock Fanboy well what do you think about a g43 in .40? Too snappy?
+AK47andGlocklover I would probably get one, but I bet some people would complain lol
+H4T Certified Glock Fanboy i think a g36 in 10mm would be pretty badass
Dude, thank you for another awesome video. Love your channel!
Thanks my friend!

You might want to throw The walther PPS M2 in the mix Comfort reliability accuracy light rack and awsome trigger.

GREAT VIDEO PAUL....
I love both of these Glocks. Even though I shoot the G26 better than my G19 and G43, I love them all the same.
I'm the same way. I think it's the way the hump fits right in my palm. It's a perfect fit.
Steven Szelag crazyyy. I tested all three before purchase, im a 5'7 145 lb guy. Couldnt pass on the 19 thiugh the 43 was super concealanle

Hey H4T you should put a rubberized talon grip on your G26 I just put one on my G30S today love there product
Yeah im getting that grip
Nice video, thanks for sharing my friend:)
Will the 43 slid fit the 26 like the 30 and 36
Hey bud.. Just posted my vid on the 43 finally complete. Checkout the Taran tactical Plus 3 base plates. Take care.
Sweet! I have never seen a +3 on a g43 yet
I WANT THAT G43 SETUP, THAT IS THE BEST ONE I HAVE SEEN YET! Guys check out his video on G43 upgrades
+H4T Certified Glock Fanboy just checked it out. I seen on the Glock 43 facebook page they brought these out. Good stuff. Love the look of the tungsten guide rod.
G43 good gun traded it for pc shield because could not avoid the slide bite pleasantly plump hands LOL
