I traded into a G43x a few days and got to take it out yesterday. My thoughts so far:
Never thought I’d think of 147 gr hst as hot or blasty, but the first mag I shot of the usual carry ammo was. Noticeably more recoil than my shield.
My FAST time was consistently.5 to a full second slower. I struggled on some reloads as the opening is narrower than my usual Glock 17. Usually hit a 46-48 on dot torture, scored a 43 with the 43 .
Was pleased I didn’t get pinched during reloads like I usually do with a 19.
I found it less difficult than expected in “rapid fire” (.3ish splits)
I had one malfunction shooting other strong hand only, bullet failed to feed and nose was caught on feedramp. Thinking I might have limp wristed as no other issues in 165 rounds
Gun is very squirmy. Less slide bite than I expected, though there’s evidence of Glock perfection on my hand. Hopefully grip force makes an adapter for it.

I joined the G-48 owners today. Shot a little of everything I had for 160 rounds thru my 2 new mags. All would have been flawless except for one of my reloads. That's on me, not Glock. No Brass to Face!! Empties at 3 O'Clock. It fits my hand quite well. Plan on keeping it stock thru the 2K challenge, then some sights. My G-43 VersaClip will do for now, but I'd like one sized specifically for the 48.
G-19 BMC fits the new mags to my satisfaction.
I'm no Annie Oakley, but an 8" gong ever sneaks into my house late at night is gonna get it's paint shot off.

So am I the only one getting BTF? Happened probably 5 times in the 120 rounds I shot through it today.
Today was my second outing and went well. No issues or stoppages with the gun. Got a chance to shoot it back to back with my shield. For now, the shield is still better for my needs.
