    @GJM what is the exact name of the 5.0 striker spring you’re using that you mentioned in the OP?

    Glock 43X/48 Range reports

    Shot a rental G48 today at my local square range.

    Ammo was Fiocchi 115 FMJ.

    I was only interested in the G43X but the G48 was what they had.

    I set up and did 5 rounds at 7 yards across a 1” Group. I used a top of blade sight hold.



    (Glock Group / first five rounds is the center chest ‘10’)

    Shot another 10 rounds but that was it; I was shooting it back to back with a P365 and was actually more curious about the Sig,

    It shot like a Glock. I remember why I use an aftermarket trigger in my G19 - the trigger was horrible, and the dingus dug into my trigger finger. And the dovetail protectors were their usual banged up selves on this well used rental. (Gun probably could have used a good cleaning, it has to be said.)

    It didn’t, really blow my skirt up. I mean, I didn’t see any advantages between it and my G26.5. Or my G19.5 for that matter.

    Still, it shot like a Glock. Very accurate. I’m sure it would be reliable. Glad I shot one but I don’t see buying at this time.

    Wolff 5.0 striker spring.

    Shooting in the desert with a brass mat a few days ago, the 48X threw the empty cases so far it was hard to position the mat to catch them, even with PMC 115 which is low power factor ammo. For giggles, I tried the 10-8 1911 test, of shooting without the magazine. Four of five out of the 48X when about 15-20 feet and the fifth case stove-piped.

    Sunday when I first stepped on to the range, my first two cold shots were with the G43X from 40 yards to see if I could. I was OK with that cold.

    What’s the best option for a Glock 48 very slim fiber optic front sight with a flat black square notch rear?

    Thank you. I also found these that I think I am going to give a try:

    It says they are not good for a Glock 43, but I assume that is because of the shorter slide length. Should be good on a Glock 48 as it’s the same slide length as a 19.

    Ran some Underwood Lehigh Xtreme penetrator ammo through the 43X today and it fed fine with a similar POI to HST 147.

    I'm contemplating picking up a 43X or 48. My first instinct is to go with the longer slide version.

    However, seems quite a few people prefer the 43X. Is there a consensus or is it shoot both and go from there?

    I'm in a pretty rural area of NY and don't have a lot of test drive options.
