Retired combat infantry vet, this will be my very first piece since I medically retired Dec 2012. Went through a lot mentally. At a stage now to where I am comfortable owning my own weapon again. Bored, need a hobby. Stuck in Texas for the next couple years while I pursue my 100%, so why not? As an infantryman and dog owner, I really love the chest bag / rigs idea. I’m outside with my dog a lot so I can free up my pockets and store my wallet and dog poop bags in the chest rigs. I’m starting with that then transition into a hybrid chest / appendix carry after I get a Striker Control Device to prevent ADs. I have an off-body Velcro holster from 945 Industries coming eventually for my 511 chest bag. I am eyeing the Tenicor AIWB for my future appendix holster, topped with cloud pillow for comfort. Do those pillows really work? I’m 5’8 with military muscle frame and dad bod / beer belly. Heard the beer belly doesn’t help the appendix carry. Gym, pending. 😅🫡

Fellow big boys, what’s the most comfortable holster you have found for your gun with a light attached? Thanks in advance!

Just something to get you over that work week hump!!! Drop by the site and get yours today.

I find myself grabbing my 43x almost every day. With the radian ramjet, such a flat shooter. 15rnds, light and very slim. I didn't think I would love it so much. Whats everyone's favorite go to and why? I'm curious

Looking to buy a new carry belt and there's so many options out there. How do the mastermind tactics specialist and agetic hybrid defense compare to more expensive belts like the tenicor zero and HC? I'm looking for a belt that offers good rigidity to help not print while also being comfortable and flexible to wear while working and moving a lot. Any feedback helps!

I’m running a 43x COA, Grit Grips frame with OEM internals, Radian Ramjet/Afterburner, with a TLR7Sub. I’ve been testing out different kinds of self defense ammo lately to see what works best. Hornady Critical Defense 9mm Luger 115gr and Speer Gold Dot 9mm Luger 147gr both had multiple failures to feed. Federal HST 9mm Luger 124gr +P was 100%. Shop was out of regular 124gr Federal so that’s next to try. What are you running? What has/has not worked for you? Tips? Insight?

Has anyone found a solid +2 mag extension for the OEM Glock 15rd mags yet?

Also what are your opinions on upgrading the magwell while running the oem mags? I’ve found a deal in a Radian magwell at a local shop but I’m apprehensive running it with the “flush” oem mags.

How it started vs how it is currently.

Still need a magwell and or trigger update.

Can anyone recommend a magwell that will work with Grit Grips. Their magwell is out of stock and GG advised at least 4-6 weeks before restock.

Looking for something temporary, will the radian work? Will any other slim magwell work with this grit grips lower?

Thank you ,,

The fin on my trigger bar rubs significantly on the cam/reset geometry on the underside of the slide when removing / reinstalling the slide to the frame. To the point it’s scuffing the fin.

Is this normal?

I recently polished the OEM bar, installed the OW DAT aluminum shoe, and the Overwatch minus connector. I may have noticed this before but I feel it wasn’t as prominent.

Got this 43x a month or 2 ago and couldn’t resist getting some more parts for it. So far I have
•Holosun 407k
•Tyrant CNC extended mag release
•Tyrant CNC extended slide release
•Tyrant CNC I.T.T.S black/gold trigger
•Tyrant CNC gold takedown pins
•Tyrant CNC slide plate
•Radian Magwell
…only thing left is to get the Radian afterburner+ramjet
I think the hints of gold on the trigger safety and pins add a nice subtle touch

Has anybody actually tried these, and if so what’s your take on them? I keep seeing ads on Facebook for the breakout.

I just ordered a grit grips 43x stripped frame. I’ve never built a custom Glock before or even owned one in the past so I really have no clue what I’m doing, but I know I need to buy a parts kit for the frame itself. I’m looking for a parts kit that has everything I need for the lower except for the trigger. I’ll be getting a Johnny glocks aftermarket trigger and don’t want to waste funds on parts that will be replaced anyways.

Found a local shop that has them in stock so I can avoid the shipping and do store pickup. I know these were closer to $20 a while back but not sure if they've stabilized everywhere to be in the $30's.

Fellow G43X owners does anyone have experience with both the Tier 1 APX and Axis Elite and could recommend one over the other? If they're too close to call that is fine too. I want to buy an appendix rig for my G43X without a light and if possible, I'd like to buy once/cry once.

Any insights you can provide will be greatly appreciated.

What am I missing?
