Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key components of the "Shush Puppy" Glock 43X build?

The "Shush Puppy" build features an Arc Division 43X Reactor slide, a Faxon 4.92-inch Match Series threaded barrel with 1/2x28 threads, a V Tac slide stop for easier manipulation, and a Radiant 43X Anchor Plus magwell. A Dead Air Mojave 9 suppressor is used for hearing safety.

What is the critical grip technique for running a suppressed Glock 43X?

The most important technique is 'camming and gas pedaling down.' This involves actively pressing the gun down and forward to counteract the suppressor's weight and gas blowback, ensuring reliability. This method was shared by a friend named Bill.

What are the main benefits of the Faxon 43X Match Series threaded barrel?

The Faxon barrel is 4.92 inches long, offering potential gains in accuracy and velocity. It features 1/2x28 threads for suppressor attachment and includes an O-ring with the thread protector for a better seal. It's also noted for being readily available and more affordable than some competitors.

What are some potential drawbacks of shooting a suppressed Glock 43X?

Drawbacks include significant carbon buildup on optics after firing, the need for an oven mitt to handle the hot suppressor, and the sharp 'slap' of rounds hitting steel targets, which can be more bothersome than the suppressed gunshot report itself.
