And if you're deciding about something as crucial as which EDC concealed carry gun to get next, finding out as much as possible about your best options proves to be even more important.
In case you're in need of a new CCW handgun, you might consider getting yourself a Glock 43X, as it offers virtually everything you want from a solid sub compact. And if you're not sure what that everything is, just check out our recent hands-on Glock 43X review, available here.
But to offer some more perspective, it's vital you read more than just one review. So, I've decided to put together a list of the most popular Glock 43X reviews, all of which offer a relatively unbiased and objective opinoin on why this pistol deserves a spot among everyone's EDC.
#1 - Glock 43X - Vigilance Elite's No Bullsh*t Review with Shawn Ryan
Let's kick it off with a rather unusual, perhaps even a bit too vulgar, but very objective review by VIgilance Elite, a fast growing YouTube channel dealing with firearms. Vigilance Elite will give you both the benefits of the Glock 43x as well as uncensored first impressions of this pistol. The author of this video offers a great and unbiased comparison of the Glock 43x and the Glock 43 where he highlights some of the problems and shortcomings of the Glock 43x and as mentioned before, staying objective. He says whatever he wants and whatever he feels about the Glock 43x and that gives the whole review a very relatable and honest feeling.
You really feel as if a friend was describing the Glock 43x to you and that in my opinion is really great. He praises the stock magazines and the capacity as is expected but also critiques the feel of the slide and the fact that the Glock 43x feels like a side project to the original Glock 43. He also includes a direct target shooting comparison of the Glock 43x and the Glock 43 which results might shock you. So, if you don't mind a couple of harsher words, grab some popcorn and tune into the first review on our list, which you can find here.

#5 - Glock G43X and G48 [Hands-On Review]
Now the last review on our list is definitely a must read, especially if you're deciding between a couple of different carry guns. The gentleman from PewPewTactical, one of the most popular gun sites to be found on the Internet, decided to compare the Glock 43X to another model from the Austrian workshop, the Glock 48.
If you're deciding which of these two carry guns to pick up, here's what the author's got to say about them. "The G43X and G48 are bold moves. Some will undoubtedly compare Glock to Apple, complaining they are delivering yet a newer version in a never-ending progression of upgrades so I’ll have to buy the next one. Others might look at the G43X and G48 and say “meh” it’s not that different."
And if you want to find out why those who say something like this might be wrong, you just need to give this review by PewPew a proper read through ... And in case you'd like to know how such a great carry gun as G43X does against some other guns, feel free to check out our Glock 43X vs Taurus G2C review, available here.
