I Stopped Carrying The Glock 43x (Even Though I Love It)
This expert analysis from Johnny Q details why the Glock 43X, despite its positive attributes like compact size and grip, is no longer the preferred EDC for many, including the speaker. The primary drivers are its limited 10-round magazine capacity, lack of native optics-readiness (non-MOS), and the availability of more exciting, higher-capacity alternatives in a similar form factor. The speaker, with extensive experience and thousands of rounds through the platform, emphasizes that while aftermarket solutions exist, the desire for a factory-ready, higher-capacity firearm is strong, leading to a re-evaluation of EDC choices.
