A rep from SA said in a posted video that it was shorter than a G43. I’d like to see a comparison in pics.

WTF, just buy a G26 and be done with it....

Shorter, thinner, and lighter than a G26.

Don't forget less reliable too.

I have a 43x and a 26. Both are equally reliable in my experience.

Do you some kind of evidence that points to the 43x being less reliable?

 

[yep380]

Is your 43x chopped and using the new chopped mag?

No.

A chopped 43x, using an aftermarket mag catch as well as aftermarket mags will not, and cannot, be as reliable as a Glock 26 in full oem configuration.

That is irrefutable. A sample size of 1 owner that happens to own an unchopped 43x and a G26 is irrelevant.

I didn’t get that from what you said before.

I agree with what you said above.

I’ve tried multiple generations of the S15’s in different guns and they just weren’t reliable enough for me to trust them. No way I would cut a gun to only be able to use their mag. We’ll see if the micro dagger mags ever come to fruition. If so they might get me back into a Glock 48.

I wouldn’t cut my G43x frame to run them either.

If/when PSA comes out with a micro dagger frame that is G43x compatible, I’d consider getting one to chop and give it a go. If PSA came out with a pre-chopped frame, that would be even better.

I’m talking range gun here btw, not something I’d carry.

And for the record, my Palmetto State Armory Dagger™ thread was created almost two years ago (May 19, 2021) in the Firearms Forums > General Firearms Forum after having consulted with GlockTalk admins. On December 30, 2022, a GlockTalk admin moved my thread under the Palmetto State Armory Vendor Member Section. Two weeks later another GlockTalk admin deleted my thread falsely claiming that I had posted it under the Palmetto State Armory Vendor Member Section. The thread had been viewed over one quarter million times. Thousands of hours of my time gone.

I know you don’t want to derail this thread, but I have to ask:

Did you receive any kind of apology?

I’m really baffled that a thread that added so much value to this forum and drove traffic to this site was deleted.

Which can be done by using a Shield magazine in a 43 with the OEM sized grip.

There is no Shield mag for the 43 with an OEM sized grip. The Z9 mag makes the 43 almost, if not as long as a 43x. Shield Arms completely missed the boat on that one.

A grip chopped 43x with a decent capacity mag would make for a great pocket pistol. You could carry a 15rd shield mag or Glock 10rd mag for backup/spare.

In my case, I wouldn’t carry a gun like that as I’m pretty much an OEM only person. I’d definitely like the option to experiment with it though. It’ll be even better if PSA comes out with a 43x clone where I could just buy the frame. Even better would be a pre-chopped PSA 43x clone.

You are correct, it isn’t flush fit. I said OEM grip, not OEM total length.

But it’s also not an extended mag hanging out the bottom either.

Not trying to be argumentative here, but what is an “oem grip” vs “oem total length”?

The shield arms Z9 mag is an extended mag hanging out the bottom of the G43. I haven’t seen any 1-on-1 comparison pics, but it looks to me like it increases the height of the G43 to that of the G43x.
