I want one.
Like the gun. Don’t see the need for a sight on a compact carry pistol.
Meh! Roughly the same size as a Sig P365XL with less capacity and higher price. The Sig is optics ready too if you absolutely have to have it. Pay a few $ more for the Sig.
I’ve been planning on getting a 43X since I first saw the one my neighbor got. Now, I’ll get this version. After all the craziness with firearms and ammo shortages subsides. No point in getting a pistol if I can’t get any ammo for it. This will be my first 9mm, so I have no 9mm stockpile.
I put a Crimson Trace trigger guard laser on my carry pistol and sighted it in at 10 yards with a bore sight laser. I had to get a new holster, but who doesn’t have extra holsters. At 10 yards, it’s s perfect. At two yards, it’s about an inch low.
I got it because my eyes have been getting more fixed-focus as I age, so using the three-dot sights while looking at the target was becoming impractical.
I have a simple solution. If we can’t ban democrats, let’s at least prohibit democrats from owning guns. That by itself would eliminate most gun violence.
My 17 shot SR9C will do just fine.
A red dot sight will work fine on a compact pistol for concealed carry, if the sight is no wider than the pistol slide. But pistols with red dots are expensive.
1911s are obsolete in their original design. You have to throat the chamber mouth to feed most HP, and the the leaf spring style extractor gets more stress. There is a reason cars do not use leaf springs anymore.
All modern designs have the feed ramp integral to the barrel, and use a coil spring rocking extractor.
I am a mechanical engineer who wasted a lot of money on 1911s in my youth because all of the hype about how great they are.
You have to spend a lot money on 1911s to get them to the standard of modern engineered pistols that cost a fraction of what the custom ones do.
Some of the new 1911s have been built with modern features and tighter tolerances, and I do like them.
It is a jewel! I was turned on to it by a pal who is a sheriff’s deputy, the department bought them all 43xs as their backups. I got mine six months ago, it resides on my ankle and is barely noticeable. All things considered I prefer a .45 1911, but it is almost three times as heavy when fully loaded.
