Glock 43X Review and Usage and Features
Primary Use
Target Shooting
Are you right or left-handed?
Right Handed
What features does this gun have that appeal to you?
I have an exclusive teal paisley design that is girlie-looking, but 9mm that can kick butt if necessary. The men in my house leave it alone. I love the longer and thinner grip. I have small hands and can easily grip firmly.
Tell us about shooting this gun.
It is easy to shoot and accurate. Just what I was looking for. Enjoyable for target shooting, but easily concealed and great for home defense. This was my first gun and I am already hooked and looking for more!
How would you describe the recoil, is it manageable?
It has a slight recoil as you would expect with a 9mm, but still very manageable.
How does it fit your hand, are the controls of this gun easy to use? (Safeties, slide pull, magazine release, trigger pull, etc.)
I have a small hand and the slim grip fits perfectly. I like the longer grip, I can easily reach the magazine release, trigger, etc. Being very weak due to an arm injury, I can pull back the slide with no problem. The slide has serrations for easy gripping.
Do you like the sights on this gun?
Yes, it has a reliable and accurate sight. I am not an expert shooter and from the beginning, I have been able to accurately hit the target. I feel confident I could protect myself if necessary.
How reliable is it?
Extremely reliable. I haven’t had any issues.
Any problems with any type of ammunition?
No issues with any ammunition so far.
Was it easy to take down and clean?
I am extremely weak and with the gun so new, I have had to get my husband to take it down for me to clean. It is getting easier and loosening up the more I do this.
Is there anything you dislike about shooting this gun?
There isn’t anything I don’t like about this gun. I wish I would’ve found it years ago!
For someone considering this gun, what would you tell them?
I knew as soon as I saw it that this would be my gun. Go to a range and try one out! I bought it without trying it first and have no regrets!
Would you recommend this gun? If not, do you have a preferred gun?
Absolutely! I would recommend this gun to anyone, but especially women! I feel like it was made for me.
Read my review of the Glock 43
I love my sig but I also have the beretta storm that I also love to carry. I can tell you if you want to carry a 9mm it is a nice gun and not snappy like some 9. I find it easier to hold than the ruger.
