Post states Carrying a pistol in a holster on his hip. Question, Was he proudly open carrying? If so, then all questions go out the window, he was breaking the law! Which resulted in a direct response. PSA, Off duty officers carry concealed, plain clothes officers on the job open carry duty weapons with the badge clearly displayed. Just my thoughts on this post, knowing from experience.

pretty sure OP is in South Jersey so it may not be worth the ride... Though we are having a Diversity Shoot at GFH on the 22nd...

this.......

I just did a quick check and found out that Gun For Hire has many Glocks available for rental, including the 43x and 48. Might be worth the drive for you to check them out. BTW, it's a pretty impressive place, well worth seeing.

The 365's are not the 320's and don't have any of the problems the 320's had/have. I'm up to a couple thousand rounds though my 365's and have not had one single hiccup. And they never went off by themselves. I have 100% confidence in them. I switched over to the 365 line up for many reasons. The trigger is much better than the Glock triggers. Better reset, take up, and break, they also come with flat trigger shoes (except for the standard 365, which can be switched to the flat trigger). Optic cut slides are standard in the lineup. Modularity, you can buy 1 FCU and make 4 different guns by switching grip modules and slides around. But the biggest reason for me was the magazine capacities, compatibility, and options. This is where Glock really screwed the pooch. Glock 43 mags are not compatible with the 43x/48 mags and the whole lineup has substandard capacity and no options. The standard 365 has a capacity of 10rds whereas the 43 is 6rds, and they are the same size guns (Sig might be a tad smaller). The 365x/xl has the same grip length as the 43x/48 and is a 12rd capacity vs 10rds for the Glocks (factory 10rd mags are also available for the 365x/xl so you can be NJ compliant). The 12rd mags also adapt to the standard 365. Then you have the option for factory 17rd(!!) mags for the 365 lineup (Yes, this is a moot point for now, because f _ _ _ _ NJ), whereas their are no factory options for higher capacity in the 43 lineup. Yes, I know there are aftermarket 15rd for the 43x/48, but there is always huge debates about factory vs aftermarket mags, I'll just leave it at that. You also get night sights standard on all the 365's. Like I said, I'm a big Glock fan, maybe even a fanboy, but I couldn't deny how superior the 365 series is in this segment. The only downside to the 365 family, at least for me, was the mag release. It was too low profile for me to manipulate without having to change my grip, but I resolved that issue with aftermarket mag releases. FWIW, they shoot great too. I can shoot 200-300 rds in a session without tiring out.

Currently have a G48 in my carry rotation. Grip is definitely slimmer - I don't have large hands and I found I had to put on Talon grips to make it comfortable enough to shoot a lot. I have the OG Non-MOS 2-tone version... It's all Mike Lowrey Bad Boys 2 two-tone'd out.... Back when the G43x and G48 launched, I shot both and chose the G48 over the 43x for the reasons HE stated. It's much nicer shooting. Yes, the G43x cycles slightly faster, but man - you do feel that recoil more.

My two cents is that I put an Apex Tactical Action Enhancement kit into my 48. I liked it. If I ever go for a NJ CCW that will be one I carry. I happen to agree with HE on the dimensions of the 48. It seem to mold onto my frame well, and I can't have more than 10 rounds anyway.

The Sig drama is still going on. The slide is the easy part of concealment if you are carrying IWB. If your an OWB fan, it’s a little harder, but at the end of the day, it’s only 0.8” more to hide, but - to me - the effect it has on controllability is pretty significant.

I prefer the 48 to the 43x. They both have the full size grip, you may as well have the benefit of the full length slide. I shot both the 43x and the 48 before choosing and I see no benefit to the shorter slide on the 43X unless you are going to put a comp on it. The shorter slide does not help you conceal the gun and - to me - it is noticeably snappier when shooting. Whichever one you decide on, get the MOS version so you have the light rail and the option to add a RDS if you ever want to go that way in the future.

From our Federal 4473 form, item 14, check one: Shouldn't the third one now be a disqualification? After all, you are mentally disturbed.
