Picked up a g48 to go with the 43x I recently got.
I’m more and more impressed with the 43x, but this 48 is the sauce.
Shot about 135 #flawless rounds through the gun. Shot 18 rounds of 147 hst, 1 mag standard 2 handed grip running at a healthy pace (.5/.6 splits) and 4 rounds each hand single hand only with a super weak grip. No issues and every round ejected nicely.
2 of the 3 25 yard groups
And I think this is a 43 at 5 yards. I’m out of town and at a different range, one that didn’t let me draw from the holster, so I modified by drawing from low ready. On a positive note, dude beside me was shooting a suppressed 300 BO with his girlfriend, and complemented me a full minute on my “tight groups” and I swear I saw a lightbulb turn on when he saw me shooting one handed with both hands. I swear public ranges always make me feel way better about myself after looking at other folks targets on this site.

I’m not a Glock guy so I haven’t been following these threads. Sorry if this is old news or fake news. It’s not my gig.
According to “TheObsceneSailor” on IG, the mags fit 11 rounds making them illegal in certain ban states.

I could get 11 in at least one mag,but I couldn’t fit it in the gun with slide closed and didn’t bother to try on an open slide

Yesterday I shot a 30 CoF that has pretty aggressive PARs and stages from 2 yards to 25 yards. It includes two stages at 15 and two at 25 which include the reduced body pictured and the bolded box headshots.
I shot it with the 9mm Operator and shot a solid 27. Then I repeated it with the 43X.
With the 43X I seemed to have shot a 28 but there's a problem. If a shot outside the scoring boxes should be launched into the outside world, it's a FAIL.
And I put one through an ear lobe and one just whizzed past the side of the head with the 43 from the longer distances. But I was still wicked impressed with the hits from the little gun.
I did not repeat whole CoF with my G26 but I shot multiple reps of the 15 and 25 yard stages and dropped more points than with the 43X.
Caveat - in recent weeks I've been shooting mostly 1911 and G48/43X. I am finding the grip on those two classes of pistol be more in simpatico that mixing with the standard frame Glocks. It's always what you are habituated to and recency right? So I don't read into it more than this what I'm shooting.
Nevertheless, just sayin'

I picked up a new Glock 48 with my GSSF coupon today. Interestingly, I can get 12 snap caps loaded into each of the magazines, with the assistance of a maglula. Seems a little easier to get 12 in this magazine than to get 10 in the P365 magazine (which is admittedly much smaller).
The mags seem to bulge a bit with 12, adding some resistance when inserting the magazine into the gun. But it feels normal to insert, rack, etc with 11 loaded.
What AIWB Holster is everyone using with the 43x? I am thinking of picking one of these up on a whim.
I keep telling myself that a 43 and 43x can replace my Jframe, therefore I can avoid buying 38 special Ammo forever.
