Keeping up with the requests from TNPrs is a full time job...and I love it! Here's another: "Get and review the Glock Shield Arms magazines for G43/G48." Done. I will discuss the excellent Shield Arms option for your mini Glocks, giving them the same firepower as a standard Glock 19. A metal mag release has to be installed too. But I'll also show you the super cool coating on my TNP Glock 48, transforming its appearance. And we'll discuss still my favorite holster option for G19s, G43s, and G48s.  Lots of shooting was done with this system, both in snow and warm weather. Insert video shows lots.  Another fun Glock update video brought to you by donors!

Why else do I not use Glock? Because the grips never fit my fat baby girl hands.

Powernoodle

Good stuff, sir. Love it. On the interwebs, we see mixed reviews on the Shield Arms mags. Some guys have lots of them that run 100%, while others have had a few problems. We never see problems with Glock mags. For my part, I stick with OEM mags on the 43X and 48. It depends on what makes your leg tingle - higher capacity with Shield Arms or (possibly/probably) better reliability with Glock mags. I'm good with 10+1, and maybe a spare mag if I am feeling frisky. Peace.

Andrettski

Not even 2 minutes in. I don't own a Glock, I shot a friends G17 last year and kinda liked it. I've got nothing against them. If I ever get one probably gonna be a G21 or 41 MOS. Back to the vid

Jake Haberman

I have a 43x MOS carried IWB in a DeSantis Slim-Tuk kydex holster. I like it so far but wish Kusiak had a leather signature for mine.

Hershey Roseman

I am hoping that PSA's new Magazines for the Microdager are more reliable than the shield arms. It would be a drop in no modification magazine.

Dean

Had a glock 21 when I was younger. It was a beast. Too big for my hands to get the best accuracy. If I remember correctly, it had 13 round mags, and I had 2 round extensions on it. And it was a .45 which was awesome.

Timothy Smith

Hi Nutn I’m a recovering Glock hater.I bought a G19 about 10 years ago and hid my shame for a long time but recently added a G43X .I see a Glock armorer for therapy once a week, though I’m not proud of it I’m getting help . Thanks for the vid !😉

Ace Invasive

I'm not a fan of Glocks because the grip is blocky. But the Slimline have a better grip. Thanks for the update video!

BadgerTails

Das Glockenspiel bash mashter, love it! Glocks and Glycines, what a GORGEOUS day!!!

Andrettski

Yep, I've got a bunch of 13 round mags for a PCC that accepts Glock mags so that's why I'd get a 21 or 41, along with WA State's 10 round mag limit now.

Nicolas Royston

I sold my glock 19 to buy my 229 legion sao. No regrets. Given the same amount of ammo to practice I am a way better shooter with the 229 than the 19. Also, on range days everyone loves shooting the 229. People never lined up to shoot the 19 and came away with a "wow" expression on their face.

Caleb Brooks

Have you looked at the shield arms z9 magazines? They take the standard g43 up to 9 rounds at the size of the standard pinky extension. Not the best option in todays market but if you’re hanging on to the 43 it’s a solid upgrade.

Harddog

I hate Glock because the trigger sucks! My wife and two daughters have traded their G43’s for Sig P365xl’s. Everyone I introduce to the Sig shoots it better. I carried a G22 for 26 years of LE service and use to be a believer. The Sig 365’s and P320’s are better in every way. My new go to war gun is a Sig Wilson Combat P320 and my edc is a 365xl. We are done with Glocks……

Guy B

Those are nice. I’ve got the Z9s in a 43 I wear in a wilderness ankle holster. Works well.

Zach Maddox

Try out Brownells Alumahyde, its a nice no fuss coating. Easy to get good results. Blast the part with break clean, dry it off with a heat gun, spray a coat, flash it off with the heat gun and shoot a second coat. Let it cure well and its good to go. Can do a handguard in like 15 minutes. You can also rapid cure it in the oven if you want. Its probably not as durable as Cerakote, but its a much smaller barrier of entry.

Zach Maddox

Amen bro. Don't hate glocks, own one, but have a small arsenal of P365's for the fam.

Harddog

I’ll still have 4 or 5, they more for handing out tho.

Mark Horan

Can I get permission to swamp out my glock 43 frame for a 43x frame. I had to buy my Shield Arm mags before the WA state 10 + normal capacity magazine ban went into affect? Thanks for the over view of new coating procedure. I like Ceracote, but it is a lot of work. Now I am a little bit more motivated to finish a rifle I would like to get done.

David Elkins

Have a 43x with shield arms conversion. Really like it when I want to travel light. G45 otherwise. Only thing unproven in 43/48 is long term durability / reliability. The internal parts are daintier than older models. No problems so far.

Seeker Keyl

I go back and forth between my 43x mos and my FN509C. At the moment, I am running the 43x, but I would like to get it stippled... Right now I have some applied grip material on it, which works pretty good for gripping and even carrying it pretty comfortable, but the tackiness of the material makes it a bit slower to grip it out of the holster than naked polymer. I am eyeing Battle Ready Arms to put some texture on it since they offer a "palm swell" modification which will change the shape of the back shape to be a bit more ergonomic. Anyone have any experience with them? They are not accepting orders to to high work flow which would indicate to me that they at least do good enough work to be really busy.

Justin Wingerter

My brother has those mags installed on his 43x and he says he loves them. I'll be sticking with my trusty sig p365 for edc/LPAC! Both are wonderful options for all you amazing TNPrs

Justin Wingerter

My girlfriend loves the 43x because she can handle the recoil on it a bit better than my 365, she says my 365 is a little too snappy for her!

Bret Smith

If tritium night sights go dim in 5 years, it means they spent a lot of time on a shelf. Tritium has a very short half-life at just 12 years. This means that if they’re dim after 5, they’ve been on a shelf for 7.

Harddog

are you running the 365? or the 365xl?

Eric Lindsay

Can’t wait to get a PSA micro dagger. PSA has their own version of a 15rd metal mag for the 43X/48.

Chris Fischer

I hate glocks. I carry a 43x every day with a shield arms SA15 in it. Ets also makes a 19 rounder that looks ridiculous and awesome. I have found both to be reliable in my pistol thus far with a few hundred rounds through each

Brandon Zeider

Brandon from Shield Arms here - thanks for the review Nutn, been a sub since almost day 1, then followed you here to Patreon.

David R Benkendorf

Never a Glock hater, but they never excited me. Only just recently bought my first personal one, a G27, and carry it as my EDC. That's because I often have to carry a G22 and wanted my EDC to flex as a BUG to the G22 with mag compatibility. Also, I really wanted a Walther PDP, but I am tired of chasing the next thing and getting a new carry gun every few years and went with the KISS principle. I run it with G23 mags. So what did they do now that I bought the G27? Yep, switching to PDPs with optics. And speaking of holsters, it may be true for most Glocks that there are tons of options. But it's actually slim pickings with a Gen 5 G27 (which I want because I'm a lefty and it has the ambi slide stop). That's because the Gen 5 has a wider slide on it and it won't fit in ones made for earlier gens. Add to that the facts that .40 is going out of vogue and I also carry it with a TLR-6, and I've only found one holster manufacturer that sells something for it.

Robert Harper

My only problem with Glocks are the grip. I wish they would get rid of that stupid swell at the base of the grip. It puts my hand at an angle where the edge of the trigger guard is right on the edge of the knuckle of my middle finger. It’s just really uncomfortable. I’ll keep my 19, and I still use it. I have Sig and Beretta, both are more comfortable. Also my hands aren’t small, I wear XL latex gloves at work.

David R Benkendorf

I disliked the angle of it years ago, but over time got fine with it. They point well for me now.

David R Benkendorf

I don't know, they don't bother me. I have a Beretta 92X Performance with a Langdon trigger job and it's awesome (around 2 lbs and best reset I've ever seen) but then again, in the moment I've never found myself thinking about the stock Glock trigger being not good enough.

David R Benkendorf

Same here, I would stick with OEM if I carried one of these Glocks. But I'm not all that cool with 10+1, which is why I prefer a G26 with G19 mags or a G27 with G23 mags. I run grip extension sleeves on the longer mags to take that bit of wiggle out of it (and just make it feel better) and that works just fine. Why not just go with a G19 or G23? I personally do like having the shorter slides for EDC, it's a slight weight savings, and I like the versatility of being able to still go with the regular mags if I ever do want to keep the grip shorter. I can make a 26 or 27 bigger but I can't make a 19 or 23 smaller.

Frank Plissken

Tyfys! Glock should be paying you big bucks for keeping them relevant! 16 rounds in a thin carry gun makes it very tempting to switch from the "compact it ain't" Sig M11a1 that's served me well for over a decade. Probably not quite there yet, but watching with interest.

JFire

I don’t have a Glock, I’m just here for the entertainment!

Racing Psychosis

I don't need a Glock 43X or 48 w/ Shield Arms Mags and mag release. For a baby Glock 19, I would recommend that you just go out and buy a Hellcat or 365. Done. The Hellcat is a super concealable G19 style on my relatively small frame. The Glock 19 is still never the wrong answer, but I do have some concealing issues.

Nathan Simms aka Darkpriest

You turned me onto Canik and I've never turned back. You should review the MC9. I'm selling my P365 with MRD to carry my Canik MC9 with a 507k. Go check it out man!

Gerald King

glock pistols are still the best.

Firemedic Mike

I wouldn't even look at the G43X because of its limited magazine capacity.... But then I discovered the Shield Arms mags. I bought a 43X and 3, 15 rnd mags. It's my favorite compact carry pistol. The Sig Sauer P226 is my full-size GTW pistol choice. You can't beat the DA/SA trigger!!!

Z-non

Brandon where do I find these mags? The optics planet link nutn posted doesn't actually list the product. I searched online and didn't find any listing where I could actually purchase them. Thank you in advance!

Z-non

You can shop around for a Gen 5 G26 holster and should be good to go because their dimensions are identical in every way except the extra 8 mills on the slide. That's about the width of two pubes so no need to split hairs :D Plus the important bit is the frame with at the ambi slide locks and those dimensions are identical. Odin out of Utah will make ya a custom holster. Oh! Before I forget most appendix IWB holsters are inherently ambi.

David R Benkendorf

I read somewhere that they went and put a .45 GAP slide on the Gen 5 G27s, but their slides in that caliber measure 1.12", so idk. Anyway, Glock's website says the Gen 5 G26 slide width is 1" and the Gen 5 G27 is 1.08". That's not 8 mm (which would be pretty significant), it's actually just a hair over 2mm. And that's still enough that many holster manufacturers specify "will not fit Gen 5" when ordering for a G27. Like I said, surprisingly few make a Gen 5 G27 holster, and then add to that I hung a TLR-6 on it. On Your 6 Designs is the only one I've found, and I feel pretty good about that because they told the Census Bureau/Department of Commerce to go pound sand when they started asking holster makers for customer data back in 2022. JM4 Tactical also refused, FWIW... interesting concept they have there, but not sold on the ability to re-holster with it on. But two thumbs way up for telling the Bureau where to stick it.

Racing Psychosis

Yep love the TP9SF. Just have a hard time finding decent holsters from goto makers for the Canik line, otherwise I would probably own a few more of them.

“Milk Man” Matt Moore

I’m not a Glock hater Nut’n but I’ll give you my best answer in relation to this video. Why do we have to go buy aftermarket mags (and sights) to make it a viable competitor in this pistol class? I always buy factory mags for reliability and don’t like having to modify a serious use carry pistol.

Z-non

Why do you guys want so much detail to purchase a mag? Gender? First Name, Last name, DOB. With all due respect, it's too much. I'm a TNP'r with a need for your product and you lost me because I don't want/need to divulge such information for plastic and steel. You're free to run you're business how ya want and I'm free to say what I've said.

Gary Boss

KG works well - agree on all points including sanding prep. I also carry a 43x with standard 10 round mags when I want to go small/light. It is the only Glock I own.

TenaciousAmerican

Visited my Son recently. We talk a lot of guns. A few months back he had a Glock 43 stolen out of his truck. Bonehead.... Anyway, he told me he got a call from the Sheriff's office to come pick up his found Glock 43. I thought of Nutn and his dessert Shotgun experience. In the interim he purchased a 43x. He seems to like it. Totally unsolicited,.He prefers the 43 as its easier to conceal. The 43x to him printed more for him. I told him you may as well carry a 19 or check out the shield mags. 2 cent data point.
