Talk me out of the G43X

[davsco]

Core and nexbelts stiff enough for aiwb, iwb and owb of larger guns also, e.g., up to g17/31?

I’ve had better luck with the ratchet gun belt for larger pistols. Same ability for micro adjustments, but stiffer.

What are you OWBing?

I IWB with my 43X. I also swap sometimes with my VP9 OWB. My Nexbelt has been just fine with the HK.

The Nexbelt is sturdy. I haven't experience any rolling of the top leaning away from my body. I can't see how much sturdier something has to be to work.

For 120 bucks, I'd rather buy 2 Nexbelts for the price of that 1.

Same with my Nexbelt EDC belts.
To be able to loosen or tighten (in 1/4" increments) on the go is the best thing that's ever happened to my carry game.
To be able to easily loosen the belt when you sit down saves a lot of cramping down on the intestines.
And you're right, it's an absolute game changer. I will never wear a belt with holes ever again.
I wish I had these belts back when I was sitting on all those flights cramped up in plane seats.

Exactly, Kore operates the same way, it’s nice to hit the lever and loosen it 1-2 clicks when in the car for along time.

I had what I consider some superfluous carry guns that weren't getting carried, and had decided I wanted a P365MS. I was considering moving my NAA Black Widow, Kahr PM9 and G43X. So, now that I have the P365MS, the wife liked it so much, I had to buy her one (traded her Shield in) and I still have the G43X (two tone). Someday I may trade that on an all black one, with Ameriglo Bolds. Or not...

is it worth dumping the shield for a g43x or p365? I can't seem to shoot the Shield well like I do my glocks.

I never liked my shield when I had it.

Yeah I tried to like it. I liked it a lot more when I switched to the Apex trigger. I just shoot Glocks really well, and I actually like the stock Glock trigger. I still am not very happy with how I shoot my Shield though.

I'm just debating on if I should stick with it and keep getting good with it, versus get ANOTHER platform and learn it from scratch.

I must ask, how does it compare to shooting a Glock 19? Obviously it's a single stack and slimmer, so not that same feel. But when switching from G19 to Shield for me, the trigger, sights, grip angle, everything threw me off from what I am used to.

One of the worst pistols I ever fired was a G19. It just seemed like too much of a grip learning curve for me. So I got rid of it.

My 43X right out of the box was shooting left, but that was a sight issue and remedied that when I put new sights on.
My big paws fit well around the X. As long as I'm hitting somewhere in center mass and into the face, I'm happy. And I do it with the X.
But the size/carry aspect turns me on too. I think it's perfect for me.

The P365 is too small for me.

I guess I'll have to check it out in person.

Picked mine up today. Swapped the sights out, now I'm just waiting 24 hours for the blue Loctite in the front sight to completely cure and then it's off to the range.

I have shot and carried the 43 and the 48...but this 43x seems like its going to win out. Guess I'll sell the 48.

Whose holster? I can’t quite make out the logo and I’m shopping...

Sorry for late response. It was a Vigitac that Trop in PA used to carry. The company went out of business ..

When we shooting it?

Literally whenever you are available lol.

I just need to get a shower. I'm still laying around.

Well, it shot wonderfully and I like it better than the 43 or 48. I also have giant hands though. For those with smaller hands, g43 and a tiny baseplate extension might be okay.

I have the Pierce +1 on the factory 6 round g43 mags and I can barely get my giant paws on it.

G43x for the win.

Mine was shooting low for me but I believe that to be in the grip on my first putting. What throws me off is my dry fire laser shoots exactly where I am aiming. So it’s got to be something I did wrong at the range. I Trijicon hd’s on it and noticed quite a height difference between those when laid end to end with my old triji’s I have on a 19
