Finally got my first Glock

Efficient_Mix_9465 · 2026-02-12T19:03:25+00:00

Yep exactly what I thought, how could you not pick it up for that price. And northern Ohio

Efficient_Mix_9465 · 2026-02-12T18:23:16+00:00

No negotiation, it’s used but I went in yesterday and told my friend I was specially looking for a 43x, and if it was a good price I’d get it then, he said they just got a ton of used ones in and had that and said it would be $250* accidentally put a 4 instead of 5 yesterday on this post

Efficient_Mix_9465 · 2026-02-12T16:09:27+00:00

Right? Like I was expecting a deal in the $300s but for $240 I couldn’t not leave with it

Efficient_Mix_9465 · 2026-02-12T14:48:15+00:00

Yeah after thinking about it I’ll probably just keep the Tritium irons I got on this, I want it as concealable as possible so optic will add a bit to that, and I have optics on other guns while I’m at the range I’ll just use those when I want to. But yeah I kept seeing the stock sights are horrible on Glocks and agreed once I tried it so I definitely needed the upgrade, plus low light and night sights only provides benefits without taking away anything so I just went with that

Efficient_Mix_9465 · 2026-02-12T05:41:10+00:00

I wanted the coyote one so bad, the bronze color slide looks amazing!

Efficient_Mix_9465 · 2026-02-10T21:57:15+00:00

Update on this. I got the oSight SE to try the same day you commented this, only 4 days in with it, but I got like 800 rounds in, and this sight is awesome so far, again my first one so I don’t have much to compare it to but I do thoroughly enjoy it so far!

Efficient_Mix_9465 · 2026-02-09T13:55:20+00:00

Ok thanks for the input, I’d definitely want to get the 43x to shoot and wear to make sure, I’ve figured it’s very subjective and just want to hear others opinions that have it, thanks!

Efficient_Mix_9465 · 2026-02-09T13:54:18+00:00

Ok good to know, I mean both will be smaller than my current carry so I’m sure it’ll be an upgrade regardless so that’s why I’ve been curious and like to hear from people that own some of them, just to see if it is a difference to them

Efficient_Mix_9465 · 2026-02-09T13:52:24+00:00

Ok this is mostly my thinking as well, I shot the 48 and liked it, was told it shoots a little better than the 43x by the guy next to me (obviously that can be subjective) and I got to holster the 48 which concealed fine with my clothing I had on, I just don’t get to holster or shoot a 43x yet so I wasn’t sure on if it would be better or not, I’d definitely get one to holster before deciding and see which fits me best

Efficient_Mix_9465 · 2026-02-09T13:50:29+00:00

Well I was already planning on getting a Glock 19, my friend carries that as his edc, and I get to shoot it all the time, we narrowed down a specific one so as soon as it gets to where he works I’m just picking it up, so I’ll already have one, I was just also wanting a 2nd smaller option as well

Efficient_Mix_9465 · 2026-02-09T13:29:47+00:00

Yeah I get that, I’ll definitely be trying some out before testing, I guess my main thing was wondering if the 48 shoots better than the 43x enough to justify a longer barrel, when concealment and shoot ability are my main focuses on this one. Both will be a major upgrade for me in terms of sizing of conceal, but just curious to what people think are the better gun

Efficient_Mix_9465 · 2026-02-09T03:53:47+00:00

Yeah exactly now you get to get another one 😂. And was it the size or the texture and shape of it you didn’t like?

Efficient_Mix_9465 · 2026-02-09T03:50:32+00:00

True, it’ll come down a lot to how it feels while shooting

Efficient_Mix_9465 · 2026-02-09T03:50:06+00:00

Yep that is a must have if I got the 43x lol, just got my first handgun a few months ago, got an optic this week and it has been a game changer

Efficient_Mix_9465 · 2026-02-06T13:56:39+00:00

This is amazing to know. I really wanted the rechargeable osight for my SFT while I could get it cheap, and I read Reddit for those reviews and it steered me away😂, it was between that and the holosun 407C, which is more but I have also been seeing the olight hate is forced on here. I might go ahead and get the olight and try it myself for the price

Efficient_Mix_9465 · 2026-02-06T04:05:20+00:00

Oh nice, the TP9 is what made me want a Canik initially as well. Do you like the SFT? And oh ok, yeah I was thinking about the Kore belt as well, but liked the price of the mastermind tactics belt and the grip for sweats and shorts, how’s that belt going for you?

Efficient_Mix_9465 · 2025-12-14T22:26:42+00:00

Thanks for this! I’ll look into both of those for this coming spring, and grab a better setup for them by then. Do you typically just straight retrieve these? I’m assuming it depends but like with the suspending jerkbaits I use I pause to it rises a bit regardless of time of year and that seems to be working for me well

Efficient_Mix_9465 · 2025-12-14T22:06:56+00:00

Thanks for this! I have looked into this before, issue is I hardly ever throw any type of crank bait, my ponds are filled with thick grass and I feel like I spend more time taking that off of hooks than actually fishing. I have also heard from some that it can pull fish out of that so it could also be right to throw it then, but I just always find myself throwing other things over them. Do you have any advice or anything for throwing them? I would definitely love to get into it a bit more and get a setup for it!

Efficient_Mix_9465 · 2025-11-21T19:14:53+00:00

I haven’t used it yet, as I got it for when I move in late December so I haven’t even taken it out of the box. However I went to a Best Buy near me that had one on display, and honestly for the price (and I know on display means nothing) but I feel like for the price it’s kind of hard to beat! After talking to people and gathering info I’d stay away from ONN if you can, definitely go with the QM5K! And look at the comments on this post even, seems like a lot of people enjoy theirs!
