Frequently Asked Questions

What potential reliability issue was identified during the Glock 43X 100-round test?

During the 100-round test of the Glock 43X, a significant issue arose with the guide rod. It began to protrude further than normal, causing the slide to feel sluggish and potentially leading to malfunctions. This suggests a potential problem with the recoil spring assembly.

How did PSA Dagger magazines perform in the Glock 43X during the test?

The PSA Dagger magazines experienced a light primer strike during the Glock 43X torture test. While they did feed rounds, this malfunction indicates a potential compatibility issue or a problem with the ammunition used in conjunction with these specific magazines in the Glock 43X.

What are the perceived benefits of the aftermarket flat-faced trigger on the Glock 43X?

The aftermarket flat-faced trigger on the Glock 43X is noted for its feel, making it seem like less travel is required to pull. Despite the different shoe, it retains the stock Glock trigger safety and is reported to have the same pull weight as a stock trigger.

What is the recommended approach to ensure a firearm's reliability after modifications or extensive use?

To ensure reliability, it's recommended to put a significant number of rounds through a firearm, especially after modifications like a new trigger or when using aftermarket parts. A 'torture test' or consistent range sessions help identify potential issues before relying on the firearm for critical tasks.
