Quoted: This is an absurd argument and OP should feel bad View Quote It's a valid argument because your not restricted to single stack glock magazines or Gucci aftermarket magazines that may or may not work reliably. With a 26 you have more magazine options and when your stopped by a traffic cop you have the "compliant" 10 round magazine in it and a 17 round magazine in your pocket. |

Okay so I'll have a compliant 10 rd magazine in my 43x with a 15 or 20 rd magazine in my pocket. I'm not reliant on "gucci" magazines but I'll damn sure use my S15 magazines to make my chosen carry gun better suited to my purposes. 26 is a great gun, but as long as the 43x and 19 exist, there is zero reason to carry one. Look, a 43x with a 10 rd magazine in it and higher capacity mags for relaods. You're right...that was a pain in the ass Attached File More likely than not though, I'll say "fuck it" and carry whatever I choose regardless of arbitrary laws |

I prefer the G43X and G48. Fits my hands much better.
If I am going to carry something like a G26, it'll be my new G29SF. |

Quoted: I don’t feel the love GD has for the single stacks. I dumped my 43 and bought a 26. The 43 was great for carry but not for shooting. The 26 is the better shooter. YMMV View Quote I shot pretty poorly with the 43 to be honest. 43X is better. G19 is best. The Gen5 is really nice. The P320/P365 design mitigates felt recoil very noticeably for me. There is definitely less snap on the P365 than the 43/43X. |

Lol, no.
Even if we're limited on ammo capacity, most gun owners are lazy fucks when it comes to carrying. They want as small a gun as possible. That is not the G26. |

Quoted: With a high possibility of some type of strict gun laws coming why limit yourself to single stack mags with the 43/48 that cant take double stack glock mags 10,15,17,24,33, and 50 round mags that you can do with the Glock 26 sub compact pistols? I personally carried the 26 for years and am going back to it since the thickness is not a big deal as folks make it out to be. View Quote |

I use the OEM mags when I carry my 48. I don't like after market parts in a Glock, just a thing I have. 10 rounds, but what the heck.
Well, I did put X/S night sights on it. |

Quoted: This for me, too... mostly. I did just bring a P365 back into the stable. An M18 followed. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: My 48 conceals better AIWB than a 26 and holds 15+1 thanks to S15 mags. If I want to carry a thicker gun I’ll just grab the trusty G19.

i don't understand why the g43, 43x, and 48 exist
same capacity as their competitors while being much larger g26 won't ever become more popular, but the reduction in grip length makes it nice for carry |
|
Yeah this is a dumb ass theory.
Go ask the boys in NY. Their was no grandfathering. When the ban your shit, they ban your shit. They don’t give 2 fucks about what you already owned. |

I don't want a smaller gun. Short sub compact grips are annoying. |

I'll stick with my G29 for deep deep concealment, lol baby 43 with aftermarket mags.

Quoted: I don’t think he thought it through. View Quote The Glock 26 gives you the option to appear compliant with the 10 round magazine in it but you can easily have a 15,17,24,33,or 50 round magazine nearby or on you in case. With the 43/48 your stuck with 10 rounders or Shield Arms which are more expensive and harder to get with 15 and 20 rounder and some other less known aftermarket magazines. But if you like your 43 or 48 then no need to get upset there is nothing wrong with them just some limitations I am bringing up for those who are on the fence with this hostile political climate. |

This thread seems like useless baiting.
With capacity-limits, the logical thing to do is get a more powerful round. I like the 43x for concealed-carry, due to the small size, 15+1 capacity (with S15 mags), and light weight. I don't see the point of adding extra weight or thickness, even if I had to downgrade to 10 rounds. Even if you want a thicker grip, you could always add one of the Hogue grips ones. Probably the only major downside I can think of is that I'd like to put a red-dot sight on it, but am not sure it's worth the money to do so. |

Quoted: Glock 43 killed the 26 sales in NY. I know one gun shop that stopped carrying the 26 a while back because it wasn’t moving at all. If you can’t have big mags, there’s no reason to carry a big gun. View Quote This is the truth. Back during the ban years it was all about the small guns or 1911s. These days something like a HK45 would be the optimum larger gun. Glock 43 would also clean up. Could see a dedicated 10 round single stack version. |

Before the Clinton AWB sub compact double stacks were unheard of, 380 pocket pistols were rare to unheard of.
Literally an entire class of firearms were developed, in part, because of the Clinton ban, and subsequent passing of CCW laws at the state level. |

View Quote Strict gun laws would include having to either turn in for destruction or register with the ATF, all magazines above 10 rounds. So you still wouldnt be allowed to have those 15,17,24,33, and 50 round mags... |

I have a G43 and happy with it, shoots fine, conceals nicely. No reason to get rid of it and jump on the latest fad for concealed guns.
