Glock 43X

I have a Glock 48, the first Glock to be a good fit for my hand and a good shooter on top of that. I've added the Shield Arms magazines for 15 round capacity. They've worked well so far.

I chose and carry the S&W Shield as my EDC over the P365 and other compact pistols. Different strokes for different folks.
 
I do not have a Glock 43X 9mm, but I rented one.
This was the first Glock I ever shot, and I liked it.

The 43X fit my hand nice. My target practice improved
with each magazine use. What amazed me how BAD
the magazine lips were and the pistol just kept
shooting every magazine full.

I would definitely consider buying the Glock X43.
 
Another satisfied G43x owner here. Was considering the P365 when the G43x was released. At the time, Sig had the striker issues. I had other Glocks and have never had reliability issues, so I picked up the 43x. Mine is still stock and am not really interested in the Shield Arms magazines. Have seen too many folks report issues with them. I knew what the capacity was going in.
 
I've held the 43X in a nearby LGS and I was pleasantly surprised at how good it felt in my hands. It's amazing how much better the Glock frame feels to me when it doesn't have the Gen3/Gen4 finger grooves on it. It was a nice width too.

I do wish Glock still offered it in the silver slide configuration that was available when they first released the gun though. I thought that two-tone looked pretty sharp. I also don't really care for the front slide serrations, but that seems to be the way the industry is moving with carry guns these days.
 
I've been a hardcore Glock fan since the late-90s but I won't buy a 43X until they get rid of those "Taurus-ish" front serrations. Just when I thought a Glock couldn't get any uglier...
 
I've shot 43X and 48. The 48 is a little easier to shoot (naturally) but both suit me.
In the end, I bought a 19X. Smallest back strap on the grip suits my yes, admittedly, small hands.
Odd thing for me about Glocks, is while I agree the trigger feel and weight isn't to my preference, it doesn't stop me from shooting them lights out for accuracy.
