I thought glock bulge was more of a problem with gen 2 and early gen 3 Glocks in .40After many years I am finally looking at a a Glock 43X for carry.
Any pros or cons? Also, I have always been aware of the "glock bulge." I hate the idea of tossing cases after one use.
There is no Glock bulge with 9mm.After many years I am finally looking at a a Glock 43X for carry.

A a better suggestion? I have ruled out the Sig 365 for me.
Do the Shield mags work without modification?I had a 43X and enjoyed it. Added an aluminum mag release and 15 round Shield magazines and it was a good shooter. I preferred the Springfield Hellcat over it so I ended up trading it away.
I still have a few extra Shield 15 round magazines if anyone is interested in them.
Like he said, it chews up the mags if you don’t do the metal mag catch.Mine has been my carry gun for 5 or 6 years. Fantastic firearm. I use shield mags and have never had an issue. Yes you can use the standard mag release but it is polymer and can get chewed up by the metal magazines. It’s VERY easy to swap it out.
curious…what do you carry in place of your departed g43?I had one for a bit. The gun itself was great with the factory 10-round mags. The PSA 15-rounders had some issues- jamming with the first or second round and warpage of the baseplate when fully loaded. I ended up downloading them to 10 and they worked fine.
In the end, as small as it was, it was still too big for CCW in shorts and Hawaiian shirt or cargo pants which Im forced to wear by the weather and my boss.
Any outfit I could conceal the 43 in could also hide a G19 on the rare occasion I could layer.
Sold it to a buddy who really likes it.
Dunno, might get another some day.
During jacket weather, which only lasts about 2 months here (and Im not working), it's either the G19 OWB, or a Beretta APX A1 Carry or Sig P239 IWB.curious…what do you carry in place of your departed g43?
The only mod required for Shield mags is the installation of a metal Magazine Release on your Glock. The original or any other plastic release will get damaged.Do the Shield mags work without modification?
A range buddy of mine let me try out his P325 the other day. I liked it so much that I intend to buy one. He said his was an X Pro, but I can’t find that one listed anywhere. No matter, I think a standard P365 will do.Favorite is the P365X with the best ergos, balance and handling, and the best trigger.
Ah, ok. Im seeing on the interwebnets that there is an actual company called Shield Arms making making 43X magazines. Are these what we are talking about?I was thinking of magazines for the S&W Shield 9......?The only mod required for Shield mags is the installation of a metal Magazine Release on your Glock.
