Frequently Asked Questions

Is it worth buying a used Glock?

Yes, buying used Glocks can be a very cost-effective strategy. Many used models are available at budget prices and are often found in excellent condition, offering reliable performance comparable to new firearms.

How does the Glock 48 compare to the Glock 43X?

The Glock 48 features a longer barrel and slide than the 43X, which can result in slightly less recoil and muzzle flip. While the 43X is more concealable for some, the presenter prefers the shooting dynamics and overall feel of the Glock 48.

Are aftermarket Glock magazines reliable?

The presenter advises caution with aftermarket magazines like Shield Arms, citing personal negative experiences. He recommends sticking with Glock OEM magazines for their proven reliability, even if it means a lower capacity (e.g., 10+1).

What are the advantages of the Glock 48 for concealed carry?

Despite its longer slide, the Glock 48 can be concealed effectively by canting the holster slightly. The longer slide and barrel help prevent printing by keeping the firearm closer to the body, especially when compared to shorter-barreled pistols.
