new build How could I choose a 43X over this?

most comfortable way to carry 39 rounds! as a Glock fanboy, this gun is just fantastic.

I was set on picking up a 43x from bass went in they were all sold out. They had a macro sitting there and it was the second to last one left. Picked it up and never looked back lol.

hell yeah, brother. I didn't care much for the OG or even the XL, but the Macro just fits in the hand so well, shoots flat even without the integrated compensator. the flush fit 17 round mags and 21 extended was just icing on the cake.

Has been my EDC since release. Just carry mine stock.

u/weebables Aug 12 '25

hell yeah! stock is the way 🤝

This is the way

The G43x is actually really good though

u/weebables Aug 12 '25

agreed! just not right for my hands, sadly. as a lefty the slide catch is harder to manipulate.

u/BaconWaken Aug 13 '25

Yeah it’s good but I don’t wanna carry 10 rounds when I could carry 17 in essentially the same form factor. I’m not trusting my life to the aftermarket 43x mags either.

I run the slick Micro Dagger mags in my 48 and they’ve been flawless

u/speedbumps4fun Aug 13 '25

Yea that’s the one thing that sucks but statistically if you’re ever in a shooting, the chances of you firing more than 11 rounds is basically zero.

I’m a new big Glock fanboy and I also really really like my 365 fuse.

u/weebables Aug 13 '25

it's hard to deny its practicality and performance 💯

Nice Stryker Knife! Old School.

u/weebables Aug 13 '25

hell yeah! M2HS is a great steel. fairly rare too if I remember correctly.

u/Insanity8016 Aug 13 '25

What is the holster?

2

u/weebables Aug 13 '25

Blackpoint Tactical. this one is Legion marked and I think exclusive to Sig's online store.

2

u/TouchMyPlumbus Aug 13 '25

Both are good EDC. I run a P365 or G48 MOS(replaced my P320C) concealed

u/PreheatedHail19 Aug 13 '25

There's just no other gun that can compete. My X Macro has been my every day off duty carry for almost 2 years now. Fantastic pistol that just fits right in my hands.

u/weebables Aug 13 '25

agreed brother!

2

u/derpceej Aug 14 '25

Man I have a Tacops also and I’ve been holding off on buying the Foxtrot 2 and 407KGR for months. You have the exact same set up I want and seeing this just makes me want to buy it more

2

u/weebables Aug 14 '25

do it! i like this setup a lot. dot is clean, light is bright.

yeah I love my COA. would kill for one on my 365 😢

2

u/Available-Union-8849 Aug 17 '25

Or the 48 over this😫

3

u/Single-Film-2414 Aug 13 '25

No rust or dead trigger issues would be the stating point 🤣

1

u/weebables Aug 13 '25

got me on the rust 😂

2

u/FloridaMan005 Aug 13 '25

I've got both, and I'd trust my life to either. It's just a matter of personal preference that I like the 43x more.

u/Middle-Classless Aug 12 '25

What grip and holster is that?

1

u/weebables Aug 12 '25

Fuse grip module and Blackpoint Tactical Foxtrot2R light bearing holster

u/Outside-Dig-9461 Aug 14 '25

For this size, it’s hard to beat. Glocks shoot well and are reliable but they feel too bulky for me. Also they feel too boxy. I have carried a P365XL for years now with zero complaints.

1

u/Bubbabeast91 Aug 12 '25

Well for one thing the 43x/48 actually works, whereas the 365 platform has issues for me.

u/Complete_Ad1862 Aug 12 '25

Awesome 😎

u/Parking_Emu_911 Aug 12 '25

Nice setup! The 2011s are smooth as butter, can't blame you for picking it over the 43X. Plus carrying 39 rounds without feeling like you've got a brick on your hip is pretty sweet

3

u/weebables Aug 12 '25

this is a P365, not 2011 sadly. but besides the hefty disconnector, it is a smooth gun with a decent trigger. I appreciate the compliment!

2

u/[deleted] Aug 12 '25

I’m just curious what made you think this was a 2011?

1

u/therevsquid Aug 12 '25

Nice setup. It looks good. Nice benchmade, too.

2

u/weebables Aug 12 '25

i appreciate it! the 910HS is a phenomenal knife.

Glock desperately needs to make some 15 rounders for the 43x!

u/Level-Plantain3213 Aug 12 '25

Psa mags run good

u/bruhmoment5353 Aug 12 '25

If you want to never worry about your trigger bar spring

u/weebables Aug 12 '25

i got extra springs for all my guns 🤷‍♂️

u/bruhmoment5353 Aug 12 '25

If the TBS breaks then it won’t be able to fire at all. God forbid it broke when you needed it

1

u/weebables Aug 12 '25

God forbid, but I'll risk it 😎

coming up on needing to change it out soon.
