The best CCW - The Glock 48 MOS

- I believe that the G48 is the best CCW on the market. I believe that it can do everything a Glock 19 can do and do it better. Also when paired with a Glock 43 it opens up a whole new world with the G43, G43X, and the Glock 43L or G43L.
I agree on everything except capacity. I'm willing to carry 10 rounds to get the slimness of the 48. There's no way I would trust the Shield Arms mags, there are way too many video documented problems.
10 rounds 48 in your pants is better than 15 rounds G19 left at home because the gun isn't comfortable to carry the way I see it.
I have SA Mags and I use them for fun. Never had a malfunction but I still don't trust them to conceal carry.
Yup, agree 1000% about those SA magazines. First off, they literally cost twice as much as a Glock factory magazine. Second, one must also purchase SA’s metal magazine catch and then that limits using the Glock factory mags. Third, I would never trust them with my life either. SA magazines are a fail in my book.
I will say this. From what I have seen, the first gen S15 mags definitely had problems, but, the gen 2 mags seem to be running great. Just my thoughts.
My shield arms gen 3 mags run perfectly. 100s of rounds through them
I would have to agree! I’m running the 48 mos with TLR7 sub and holosun 407k Green X2 and it’s the best setup I’ve ever carried and I’ve been carrying for close to 20 years everyday. Keep up the good work sir and thanks for your time and effort putting this video together for us.
Thank you!
Just picked up my Glock 48 and I’m loving it. My new EDC. I just really dig how slim it is as I have medium size hands. Great gun. Excellent video 👍🏼👍🏼
It fits my hand really well too. It does not fit or feel like a normal glock to me.
Cool video. I loved the illustration of interchanging with the G43.
Glad you enjoyed it
I just bought one this past Saturday.. as soon as I put it in my hand i said the same thing, it feels extremely similar to a 1911.. I'm an instant fan of the 48 mos
How much did you spend? I walked out the door paying $507
@jessehernandez536 Im sorry I'm just now seeing your comment. I spent close to that.. they're going for $499 in my area.
just ordered a 48 MOS, I'm pumped! great video
I hope you love it! Thanks for watching
@@arkansasoutdoorschannel1867 I just posted my own review of the G48, if you could check it out that would be wonderful. You influenced me to make a video as well.
The Glock 48 MOS was the first pistol I ever purchased. It is a range toy at this point as I now carry a P365 as my EDC but I don’t think I’ll ever sell my G48
I tried the P365 and Hellcat. I still like the 48 better for my taste.
I don't rock with Sigs at all but what works for one man may not for the next .
I rock a 48 mos, but I do miss my og nra p365 with a stippled grip hmmm🤔
I have an xmacro that went into my safe. I just couldn’t carry a dig because of the safety issues. Can’t carry something I fear will shoot my nuts off 😂
@@johns6431and prob rust ur nuts off too 💀
Team G43X MOS here. Holosun 507K and S15 mags. Sight radius doesn’t matter while using an optic. All the same just a slightly shorter barrel. I want a 48 as well though
The 43x is a great gun but with me owning a 43 and a 48 Im able to have the best of both worlds.
I just laid away me a G48 for Christmas. I’m ready to carry a thinner lighter pistol. My current EDC pistol is the S&W M&P Shield.45 subcompact & it’s a thin pistol. This is why I’m getting the Glock G48 I love a thin pistol. Great video!!! Subscribed!! Hope to see more great videos in the near future!!!👍👍🇱🇷🇱🇷
Thanks for watching and I think you will really like the bike.
If everything works out I will grab a MOS 48 today. Really excited. I have my range toys vp9 and glock 44 but the 48mos is just perfect. 5th gen glocks are excellent
Update. Got it. Let’s do this
Awesome! I hope the gun works as well for you as it does for me.
Just got my glock 48 mos.
No regrets.
Im glad you like it!
oh snap. I never thought of putting the 43 slide on the 48's frame. Definitely getting the 48 now
I've got a 48 on the way to do just the opposite...lol. I've been wanting a 43L for a long time now.
I never thought of that either so I bought a Glock 43X. Since the G43X out sales the G48 buy 3 to 1 (for every one G48 sold, three G43X are sold) I think I did the right thing.
That's literally just a 43X
@@craigcrissman4651 _Exactly_ 😊
I actually like my standard 48 over the 19 only because its thinner. I ain't worried about a dot and a trigger mount light ain't hard to find
Good review. I'm 5'9"/165 30/31" waist and just ordered a 48 on base for $510. Very tempting to dump the g42 and pick up a g43 to play with--I'm hoping that the g48 grip doesn't stick out too much for IWB tuckable--I don't have an issue with the p365 tuck, but the 48 looks like it adds about .7". I may try it in the small of my back when I get it, but I imagine that could get a little uncomfy in a church pew, lol. I wonder what other folks dimensions are and if they've tried an IWB tuckable for button down/business dress. Anyhoo, good review. Here's yer' upthumb.
Thank you!
I’ve seen bad reviews on the shield arms magazines . I like the 10 round carry with an extra magazine.
Same here but my second mag has a plus 4
In close quarters I can hit what I intend to hit. By close quarters I mean within 25ft. I can change clips relatively fast. 10 rounds for me is a real good start at stopping an aggressor. The Glock 48 is dependable, accurate, and fits my hand nicely. I'm not into all the upgrades. Factory set up works just fine. Good job Glock. Anything more is sheer extravagance. To each his own. Q
If it works it works
That’s a solid argument.
Thanks. I will have to admit that there are several guns that have came out in the past year that might, just might be able to dethrone the king.
I agree
Close... it's the 43x. Especially when you like to carry AIWB. S15's have been running well for me for three years now.
Being left handed it only took Glock 5 generations to get a fully ambidextrous pistol, and I can share magazines with several other Glock 9mm models so the G48 seems great but it can't do everything my G45 can do. js
Good video. I just grabbed a 48 MOS... Will it replace my 19? Maybe. I still do not shoot the 48 quite as well as the 19, but maybe I will right? I mean I've had the 19 for 13 years now and it's what I know... and I am still getting my mind right to trust those Shield Arms 15 round mags.
Just run factory Glock mags. No need to “get your mind right” about anything. They’re tested and true and hold up to everything they’ve been put up against. Much better than any other 3rd party magazine 🤷🏽♂️💯
@@felipetalavera3766 I guess you haven't been paying attention here Felipe. Factory Glock mags for the G48 are 10 rounds, Shield Arms 15.
@@lrh411 I’m well aware. Sure, you get an extra 5 bullets with the SA mag but the price for that is having to trust non OEM manufacturers
@@felipetalavera3766 In that case, just stick with the Glock 19 right? The whole idea of the G48 is a slimmer platform but not if you have to give up 5 rounds. If size was the only consideration then the Glock 43 is fine.
Never had any problems with the SA mags. But I agree with sticking with OEM mags. They have been tested and 10 rounds is plenty for edc
Why wait on MOS? You could just get a 48 and have the slide milled for a optic of your choice. Milled is so much better than plate mounting. Although the 48 with the rail is better than the one without looks wise.
💀 48mos don’t need a plate if u put the right footprint (rmsc) on it I’ll take factory cuts… all it takes is one fuck up from 3rd parties to fuck a slide up
I was just about to trade away the 48 and now I’m considering getting a cheap 43.
It’s a really good combo and if Shield Arms does make a 10rd 43 mag wow!
I'm waiting on my 48 to show up right now to put together a 43L. We could have just traded uppers...lol
Should look into the z9 magazines from shield arms for the Glock 43!!
Glock made the 48 just to sell in Canada (10 rounds and minimum barrel length)
Even if thats the case its still a great carry option.
Too bad Glock puts the SN# on the frame. Sig put it on the trigger chassis. $40 I can turn my p365 into an p365x. But then again why bother all I have to do is inset a factory 15 round mag.
Great video, I love Glock, had they made the 43 a 10 round gun I’d bought it. Big face palm for Glock when Sig dropped the p365.
19 more of a just nice size pistol that you can use when you really want to shoot my 19 has the best acelarator cuts 48 can't have that and the feel of 19 is better smoother slide better function. Glock 19 I'd take and put it in owb holster while 48 is a great inside the waist band and used for self defense if you have to its a great option while having some comfort my 19 its hard with a light to carry inside waist band I've tried every holster and while I can carry my 19 concealed I hate it and way rather it be owb .
Great pistol. My brother-in-law has one with a Holosun and it was very fun at the range. I just prefer a hammer fired pistol for AIWB.
I find myself preferring hammer fired these days as well. My current carry is the CZ P-07.
Hey man. I have similar setup. My mom has my old 43 and I just bought 48 mos. Praise the Lord for the right to own this stuff.
If you’re not a Christian you should be. I know Jesus is totally real and the only way to heaven. Seek Him today before it’s too late. People died so we could have a Bible but many don’t read. 2A is no guarantee in this world.
Thanks for watching
how do you like those 15 rounds i hate shield mags
The Best CCW - The Glock 43X (without MOS)
NOTE: The Glock 43X out sells the Glock 48, 3 to 1. For every one G48 sold *three G43X pistols* are sold _(Info from the Glock Store)._
The 48 with a 43 will give you the best of both worlds.
@@arkansasoutdoorschannel1867 The best of which worlds 🤔??
The handgun for "concealed" self-defense is the area both firearms were designed for. In that area the Glock 43 for women/people with small ✋ hands and the Glock 43X for larger hands. Ammo count in real life and not Hollywood isn't important for CCW as long as you have 5 to 6 rounds ( Note: The FBI study on the less than 1% of self-defense incidents a year, says an average of between 2 to 4 shots are fired in self-defense with handguns)
The 2nd world 🌎 I have not a clue what that means. Surely not outside the waistband carry, military or police work, competition, etc...
Could you give examples 🤔 on this mystery?
Thanks.
EDIT:■Happy upcoming Thanksgiving!■
@@sweetcostarica well if you watched the video then you know that a G43 and a G48 can swap slides. So you can carry either a G48 when you need a bigger gun. You can carry the 43 when you need a smaller gun. Or you can put the 43 slide on the 48 frame and make a 43x or you can put the slide of the 48 on the 43 frame for a very concealable gun with a longer sight radius.
@@arkansasoutdoorschannel1867 I did view that slide swapping non-sense. Who does that?? (IMO) That is high school boys talk - sorry straight truth.
The Glock 48 is not a big gun. It is a small concealed carry gun & in CCW/self-defense range (3 to 7 yards) the slide length does not matter at all. Thus, the Glock 43 and Glock 43X are much more popular & in use today.
Odd video to be honest brah.
@@sweetcostarica cool story bro. Thanks for the view
Love mine
They are great guns.
Great video! #Glock43X #Glock43L #Glock48S
Thanks! Every single view and commit helps the channel so thanks again!
Im a Glock guy. I have Glocks and Sigs but hands down I prefer Glocks. But I respectfully disagree with you on this subject. I have been shooting and carrying for a long long time now. I have heard soooo much advice over my years. Some good. Some bad. Seems like every day you can learn new things. But the ONE thing that has stayed constant is “always run factory mags esp while carrying”. Range…sure. Use whatever. So this has always been the reason that I personally will never buy a 43x or a 48. I will never use an aftermarket mag, esp ones that seem to work about 50% of the time, in a gun that i depend on for my or my families life. When Glock sells a 15 round OEM mag with these guns then I will def get one. Until then I will carry my OG 19. Great video though. But to each their own.
I can understand that.
I had decided to trade my G43 for the G48.
I really like the 48 over the 43. The 43x is growing on me but so is the new Sig x-Macro.
So I should be able to purchase a 43x and put it on my 48?
I agree with everything, save for the notion that the G19 and G48 have equal shootability. They don’t, unless you’re one of those people that have small hands, and the G19 might actually be less shootable. The recoil impulse with a proper grip (assuming you can properly grip a G19) still affords for superior handling on a G19. Out to 25 yards the G19 really establishes its superiority, though I will concede as you get closer that difference diminishes.
I can hit the same with the 19 vs the 48 at distance. Maybe its because my hands are smaller than yours, who knows? But I have not had issues with the 48 a distance.
@@arkansasoutdoorschannel1867 Your arguments are compelling. I think we can agree the only logical thing to do is own all of them ;-)
@@pgsanta gotta collect them all
Ok I hear you. But the 19,45,17. Is the best all you need. If you have small hands ok ,i get it. But the reason glock(1 of the reasons)do not change to much, in anything they do. Is,if it is not broken do not try to fix it. At the end of the day,will it go BANG?. I think it's for women or men with small hands. And look that's ok. I belong to a gun club,I can get my hands on anything I want. And I can say 48 is nice(it's a Glock). But my lady has long fingers and she loves the Glock 45, 17,19. Lol it's funny to me. I had to give up my 19 lol. But at home 17 is her sleeper. And she some times carry lol. GLOCKS are the $&%$#&$&. Hands down, Second M&P. Lol had to give it a shout.
There is nothing wrong with the 19,45,17,19x, ect. But the Glock 48 and 43x are better and easier for CCW. The size is what makes them better than the others. The weight and the easy of carry is what makes them better.
I just picked up the 48 mos I'm having to wait for like 14 days for my backround check to clear how ridiculous also I tried getting my ccl and there booked till next year all the way till August I don't get why we need a ccl and with this wait time I feel like my amendments are being violated I don't get why backround checks take so long ?
I recommend moving to a more “free” state. In Arkansas you can get your CCL just about any day of the week. The paperwork takes about 2-3 weeks to clear but it is still pretty fast.
You must live in a blue state !
@@barrygoodson4952 sad to see oregon go that way it's split with Republicans and democrats it's really bs to deal with so I will be moving after 25 years in oregon I'm getting pushed out of the state I can't believe how much they can affect your life with so many laws that are uncompliant with the constitution also these people are traitors to America.
Yep 43x and the 48 made the 19 irrelevant.
I just realized i had a 48 mos smh
Well hopefully you just realized that you have an amazing carry option! LOL!
Which SIG Romeo is that?
God bless the Glock 48 MoS and god bless Steven Crowder
Thanks for watching and I agree on both!
Easy. G19 for duty work. The 48 MOS for cc.
I agree. However I will be trying out the 43x since so many people said I was wrong in this video.
@@arkansasoutdoorschannel1867 do you like your 43X?
I'm still working with it. I'm not sold on it over the 48 yet.
@@arkansasoutdoorschannel1867 keep your 48. Screw the haters man. I'm a 19 guy too. Hell, I turned it into a Roland. Love that gun. And I just picked up a 48 MOS last week and love it. You're 100% right. It's the perfect cc gun. To us anyway. To each his own. Thinking about turning the 48 MOS into a Roland mini. Why not keep it consistent?
@@arkansasoutdoorschannel1867 and if you get a 43X, why not have it around as a backup or loaner? Don't do it for the hate. Do it for you.
The way I see if you want more rounds ,carry the 19 , only law enforcement may go over 10 ,or 20 rounds . The 10 round plus Another magazine is more than enough. After Fiive or six rounds it’s over. It may be good for target practice.The shield .
I reviewed the new Shield Plus. It is very close to being my new favorite little 9mm
Unless they finally come up with a micro sub compact 10mm, I'm going G20. Until I save up enough for that preposterous ass Desert Eagle .50. That thing doesn't have a slide, it has a f'n upper receiver.
Everybody at the range is gonna think my dong is tiny but I dgaf, when I scrape up an extra 3 grand (and another 2 for ammo) I'm getting one and I'm going to shoot it until I puke.
YOLO
Do these fit in level 3 holsters ?
Im not sure. Last time I checked I could not find one for the 48 but someone might make one now.
Lol the 48 or 43x dosnt come close to what the 19 can do less snappy and more reliable track record proves that people are having problems with all tbe aftermarket mags that would make 48 i little more comparable but they arnt so not trusting a gun is not like the 19 that everyone trusts just becouse you say you have no problems with your sheild mags dosnt mean others have same experience. Most people's experience with s15 mags is that they are unreliable i still carry my 48 but I definitely feel better with my 19 that i carry know back up mag becouse i know how reliable the 19 is .i hate people that have strong opinions that dont match with the way that other peoples experience is sheild arms 1 2 and 3 all gens arnt reliable you can feel how they almost dont work i almost cant even rack a bullet in with a full mag and there is mareing going on in the slide even on the bullet theres a score mark its not seamless. When you have so much invested in your edc its hard to be honest i get that lol people are weird and this guy is know different ive heard him try and argue facts lol. The fact is that way more people have had problems after problems with tbe sheild arms i thought i got one out of my 10 mags i got but nope it failed me now im running throigh second batch that came back after returning all mags i got and ive already have had malfunctions with new mags how much ammo do you want to waste its a problem when you shoot hundreds of rounds fine than you get a stove pipe or failer to eject lol fuck aftermarket mags and when your left with 10 rounds and a gun thats tiny its just all the way around a shitty experience especially when you cant even really shoot a lot out of the gun couse seems to get freaking red hot . Hey i like the gun but i wish glock came out with a mag for it that works the 48 is not at all the same experience as the 19 the only thing they have in common is there both glocks thats it.
No one responded to you because the comment is grammarless brain rot
The 48 is fabulous. But…. Shield Arms mags + the metal mag release is something I’d never trust with my life. Glock factory OEM magazines are the best. For civilian ccw or off-duty LE carry, 10+1 is “enough.” Plus, I always carry two spare magazines in the pocket with any semi auto I carry. So 30+1 gets the job done. If one can’t get the job done with 10+1 plus a spare mag or two, then maybe that person should move out of Somalia and into a safer city.
I own every Glock 9mm ever sold in the USA. The 48, 43 and. 43x are all in my daily rotation, among other models as well.
The Glock 48 IS the ultimate ccw. However the Glock 48 MOS contains the useless MOS feature for mounting a holosight - the most useless ccw feature on any handgun.
I disagree. It takes a bit of training to get use to but an optic is a good thing.
it has a shield rmsc optic cut. It wont fit an rmr or rmrcc.
Yes the full size RMR will not fit but the RMRcc can be used. You just need an adapter plate like this. chpws.com/product/43x-48-rmrcc
@@arkansasoutdoorschannel1867 yeah less than ideal solution
Swampfox Sentinel fits right out of the box, no adapter needed! Great Optic looks like it was made for the 48 MOS and functions perfectly
@@LAPIPPI012 Yeah it doesn't hold up very well on drop tests though.
@@fr8cture The new Holosun EPS Carry would like a word. Better in every way.
Lol this video is so ridiculous lol trying to make a case for comparison of the 19 vs 48 lol while its a alright gun its no ware near how the 19 mos shoots
I promise if you spend a day of training with them both you will never say the 48 is better than the 19 . The 48 is a carry pistol period while the 19 is so much more .
Thanks for watching
@arkansasoutdoorschannel1867 yeah I really get stuck on wtf sometimes when I hear a person reasons or a point there trying to make holy shit its comedy dont take yourself to seriously.
Anybody wanna trade a g48 slide for your g48mos slide?
You should be able to find someone online that can mill a standard 48 slide for an optic for under 200 bucks. That might be a better and easier way to get one.
Been a g19 guy for the longest time, but after getting this 48 in a trade the other day and watching your video.I think that the 48 after a few mods will be a better fit. Great video!!!@@arkansasoutdoorschannel1867

Bought one last Friday sold it yesterday .... for me it was poorly made giving me no confidence it would work. As always I handle a gun for hours per day before firing and I just couldn't get over how clumsy it was. Just didn't handle well for me... grip angle. slide racking, everything.
Understand it's a great gun for most people. but for me NOT ... but it may be perfect for you.
I understand it may not fit you but I dont understand the reason why you stated it was poorly made. Ive owned a lot of Glocks and I dont think Ive ever seem one that was poorly made.
@@arkansasoutdoorschannel1867 Apples to. apples ..... I own a PO7 Cz and have handled my sons S & W polymers and the Glocks polymer felt inferior, as to the fit of lower to upper you could see light thru more of the length than them, the grip finish was not equal as well. Its family tree is impressive but for me I was not impressed compared to others.

Sig 365 xl Is better
Why is the Sig better?
@@arkansasoutdoorschannel1867 better trigger, better Sites, bettwr build quality, shoots slightly better, feels better in hands, I can keep going. I have a Glock 48 too btw
Sig 365 XL can NOT co witness like the G48 MOS, other than sites Glock build has not change nor has its reliability, feels better in the hand depends on whose hands we are talking about… I can go on and on and I love and Carry a Sig. The only one up in my eyes on Sig is the factory mag capacity and maybe the trigger. Outside of that really the GLOCKS run and run…
The Glock anything sucks. Just in the last two months I’ve seen five police badge cameras where the officer involved shooting shows the Glock jamb . One of the officers lost his life because of it in Wisconsin . Go make your videos sir
Thanks for watching!
Wrong. The SigSauer P365X is the best CCW.
Why? What is your reason to say the 365 is the best?
365 xl is the best
There’s a lot of better guns for ccw better ergos more capacity better looks more accurate just as reliable sig 365 xl hellcat even a s&w shield and the list goes on glocks fucking suck and are over priced
