Love the double stacks but for IWB carry, it’s single stack: 42 or 48.

 

Different jobs; different guns.

 

I agree and also different owners. The Glock 26 always felt like a brick to me, but for some it fits them perfectly

Haven’t checked out 48 but know people that carry it, love it

Basically single stack 19, barrel is 1mm or so longer to meet the Canadian legal requirements.

 

I have a 19.3, so for me the 48 and 45 are next on the list. While each excel in different areas, I have heard plenty of folks who IWB the 45.

The 43X just doesn't hold my eye like the 48 does.

With ya there. Especially for appendix carry. Longer barrel helps from roll over.

 

Got 'em all... Like (at of these ones mentioned) the G48 better, and I do run SA mags and all Steel SA mag catch in it. 100% confidence/performance/reliability. The 48 seems better balanced in my hand, and the sight radius, although only an inch difference, works best 'for me,' over my G43X. I can still hit targets at extremely long distance withe the 43X and hold good combat (good enough) distance groups with the 43X, But, just feel far better with the G48 in hand. "Nothing" against the 43x, not at all, great little shooter. But I just like the G48 better...

Well, I am new here. But an older guy. My wife is older also. I just in the Spring bought a G42 and a G43X. We do like both of them very well. Our very first Glocks.

We have a large variety of other pistols we shoot often as well. But, we certainly do like the fit and feel of these two. Nowadays, 15 yards is the most we practice at.

 

43x with the shield arms mags, baby. In a JM custom kydex holster. Best carry setup I’ve ever had. That gun just rips, 16 rounds, accurate, and seems to cycle so fast because if the low slide mass.

 

HMMMM. Would you have a link to those Mags please?

I have a G48.

I'm a fan.

 

Shield mags and mag release make the 43X hard to beat.

 

Our G43X is a close to ideal as we have found for concealed carry. Don't prefer the bright finish on the slide (purchased before black was available), but don't care much. Between it, our G43, and our old and trusted G36 we have a good rotation.

We trudge on.

 

I love my 48. Only owned it for a month but it has become my favorite Glock. I have a 43 so I tried the 43x setup. It shot fine but I like the 48 better. The longer barrel inside the waistband carried at about a 4:30 position pushes the grip into my back so it hides very well.

 

I bought the silver 43x when they first came out then traded for a black when they were released. I bought my 45 shortly after and sold the 43x within the same week. I never had the chance to get my hands on the shield mags but if I did I probably would have kept the 43x. The 43x is a great little gun and I'm still entertaining the idea of buying another one but the 45 is hard to beat. It currently serves as both my duty gun and off duty EDC.
