Thank you for your videos man 👨! No hype, no salesman, and very knowledgeable and competent, totally appreciate you style and execution. Again thank you.
Much appreciated Alfredo
You have great videos, video quality is clear and crisp and it's all super informative. Thanks always, glad to be subscribed. Also merry Xmas dude!
Thanks Danny O glad to have you aboard . Hope you have a Merry Christmas.
My favorite quote - "Buy more of the bulk ammo and have some on the side"... wish I saw this at that time... great video as usual Mike!!
Yup things have ugly and gonna be that way in the ammo world for a while.
Is you 43/43x trigger gritty and heavy?

no mine is fine! If my wife will just let me have it back👍🇺🇸
LOL the first time someone recognized me from You Tube it was a bit freaky! I have a small channel but, was playing music at a bar. This dude walks up to the stage and said I watch you on You Tube. Turns out he was a nice guy and not a stalker. Still it kinda felt creepy for a minute there👍🇺🇸
Sneaky lol.
Its weird right. I wasn't expecting it. But he was a really nice family guy.
@@TacticalConsiderations yeah same here👍
I just now installed an "Apex Glock Slim Frame Action Enhancement Kit" on my (brand new) Glock 43. The reason I installed it was because I did not like the shape and feel of the factory trigger; it just felt horrible to me. This Apex trigger has a much nicer shape, and to my surprise it made my trigger pull feel cleaner (unexpected). I bought the "Thin Blue Line/Freedom Edition". Although I do work for a police department, I liked the blue as I am retired Air Force and love that this trigger looks like an American flag and goes with my American flag "frame plug" and US Air Force "butt plate" . I have the exact same Glock 43 color as the one in your video and so this trigger looks nice on this Glock's color without being gaudy. The nice shape trigger...the cleaner pull...the tasteful appearance...and mostly that it is "duty rated" all matter to me. I too have kept the factory sites as I very much like them. Great video
I'm glad you like it man. It really does clean up the factory feel . Always good to hear others experiences with these
Just ordered one for my g48 from brownells im excited to finally find one in red thanks for the vid wish more gave the slim frame glocks more spotlight
Enjoy it
I watched one of your Apex comparison reviews the other night and decided to order one for my 27. It came today and WOW! I'm sold! So I go back to their site to look into one for my 43x. Didn't see any claims for pull weight reduction so...just watched this video. You didn't steer me wrong on the first one, I'm gonna take your word for it here.
Glad you like it. Apex focuses more on cleaning up and shortening the break on the 43 and 43x models. They were not trying to reduce pull just make it clean .
Thanks for this video! Helped me out!
Glad you liked
As you probably are aware, there are a lot of gun oriented channels one YT. As a G43x owner, just ran across yours after watching about 6 others recently. You do it right. Subscribed. Keep up the good work!
Thank you Sam
@@TacticalConsiderations You certainly earned it. You're welcome!
Dead nuts! Haven’t heard that in a while, good video
I am bringing it back lol .
I've had a Glock 19 for 3 years and the 43X since May. The 43X trigger wasn't as nice as my 19, so I installed the Apex Thin Blue Line trigger, with Ghost Edge connector. It was a marked improvement and was really happy with it, until a friend (who is a Glock Armorer) let me try his 43X with the Overwatch Precision polymer trigger. For me, it was even better. I kept the Ghost Edge connector with the Overwatch trigger and am very happy with it that combination. Trigger pull is just under 5 lbs.
I did love Overwatch as well a bit shorter than Apex imo
Great review Mike. I’ve got the Glock 19 MOS, Glock 45, Glock 43X & 43 Vickers tactical edition & I’m always looking for ways to improve my Glocks. Thanks for the info man.
Sure thing, sounds like you got a nice collection going .
Watched a lot of different channel’s before finding this one, well done! Definitely got a new sub from me.
Much appreciated.
Empirepbf makes an incredible trigger for Glocks called the “Stiletto” . That trigger is amazing! They also do great slide work and optic cuts for Glocks only.
Sweet
I bought a Wolf trigger whenever they first came out years ago. I installed it, took it out. That damn trigger had around a 2lb trigger pull Was afraid of slam fires & unintentional discharges I took it out. Thinking of putting it back in a range gun See what how it does. Great episode bud!, love your content. Merry Christmas 🇺🇸❤
That's a low trigger pull. Range fun edc not so much. Thanks for watching . Merry Christmas
Shot my 43x for the first time today..I get my apex trigger in the mail tomorrow..can't wait to try it out!!
Nice. Enjoy it.
If Apex Tactical makes a trigger for any gun that I own, I will buy it. I love Apex Tactical because their triggers are drop safe, which is a big deal to me, but also they make THE best trigger install videos.
They are a big player in the game for sure.
You seems like a pretty solid guy Mike I really enjoy your channel my friend.
Thank you Larry I appreciate that .
Yea, I put in my piece. Love it
Nice.
I never understood why people would change their triggers. My Gen4 Glock 19 trigger is a thing of beauty, in my opinion. Then I bought my 43x. Total horrendous! I bought this Apex because of this video. I love it. But I still won't change my Glock 19 trigger. Awesome info on the video.
The factory stuff is just really conservative most times on take up , reset, pull weight. Totally usable for sure but some like to change it out for a little cleaner set up. Some of the 43, 43x and 48 trigger are really nasty out of the box.
AWESOME Video!!!!😃 I LOVE Apex Triggers!!!! I have one on one of my Glock 19's, and put one on my Glock 48 when I got one. I DON'T KNOW why you don't have MILLIONS of Subscribers!!!😃
Very cool! thanks for the compliment.
Always wanted to try a Apex on my G19 because the factory curved trigger causes me to shoot low left consistently. I tried a Weaton Arms flat face but didn't like the Spongy pull so I use the factory. I actually like a heavy trigger around 6lbs.
Well try this while pressing the trigger instead of using the joint near the tip of your finger try bending the first joint leaving your finger tip totally flat feels weird at first but makes a difference for some.
I have a 43x gray gun just like your love it. thing about changing my trigger as well.
Yup the trigger on these is not great from the factory.
I thought my apex in the 43x was an improvement but mainly it was the flat face ,which I prefer but when I dropped a overwatch into my g45 😬 had to try it in the 43x IMO the overwatch for the 43x is the best trigger I’ve found for me 👍 another great vid .
I love Overwatch as well. This apex is imo a bit better with the thicker shoe safety. How you liking the g45
@@TacticalConsiderations I love it , it's by far my favorite Glock , it's cold as hell here so I've been avoiding carrying it because I have an rmr on it and the constant in and out seems to not far well on the glass .I've been becoming more and more of a CZ fan boys these days , been carrying the P07 more often 👍
I'm loving my 45 mos one of my favs. The p10c optic ready too just fun
Just bought a hellcat for the wife !! And a czp10c thanks to your reviews $$$$
Awesome the gift of 2A. How's the hellcat
I picked up an early 43x at a gun show and the trigger was pretty bad. I tried a new one at a store a month ago (Feb 2020); it has a much better trigger. I put a Ghost 3.5 in it anyhow, as I always do, and I’m now quite happy with it.
Nice. Seems they are hit and miss on triggers
I gotta give it to you my friend a very thorough video. Apex is out of those triggers right now but optics planet has them. You spoke about gen 3 and gen 5. Gonna give apex a call.
Yeah stock has been hard to find. They have offerings for gen 3-5 and the slimline like in this video. Initially on the gen 5 stuff for full sized triggers the machines gen 3 bars due to lack of gen 5 trigger bar availability . The slimline stuff is factory trigger bards as far as I know right now.
@@TacticalConsiderations Thanks for the info👍
👍
Thanks. Great review
Much appreciated
Love your videos bro, straight to the point well explained ALL the time. Question! I was thinking of throwing an apex in my G43x all they have in stock is the trigger shoe and performance connector. It doesn’t come with the trigger bar . Would that really make a difference in performance installing it with the OEM trigger bar? Or Should I wait until the whole trigger kit with the trigger bar is back in stock?
The factory trigger bars are the best for use. the aftermarket ones I have seen did not preform as well. Chancing the trigger shoe is pretty easy and you can use your factory bar. Glock has in large part cut off factory parts to anyone outside government entities from my understanding.
@@TacticalConsiderations okay awesome yeah I didn’t think it would matter. I prefer keeping as much oem parts in the firearm anyway! Thanks for the response 🙏
The only one I can think of is the ghost connector for it I heard it’s super smooth.
Thanks for the video. I prefer to install my own parts but that's pretty cool apex does free install.
As Do I, but on the FN and some of their other offerings installs can be a bit tough for people who are new or just not comfortable. Its nice to see a company open their doors provide food, tours and installs. I appreciate you watching.
Free install??? That’s cool and I’m in. It’s worth it just from the peace of mind aspect.
Yup they do it at their open houses
Thanks bud great video
Much appreciated
On my G45 with a smaller back strap tail extension my index pad lands prefect for a straight pull,. My 43X feels to small my finger pad doesn't land right which causes a push I've been trying to train it out (correct) however I think about giving up on it and going with the 19 for the tail strap which will be like the 45 model, I'm ok with the Gen5 trigger as long as my finger can land correctly .
well your finger placement will be different on each pistol smaller pistols your finger may need to land further into the tirgger than full size. If you think more about how straight the first bone in your finger should be rather than where your finger pad is
Brother I like Glock triggers! The more you shoot them dirty the better they get. My wife took my 43x from me because the 19 is a bit big for her hand. Thanks to your great Nomad Defense review, I'm about to snag a frame for her. I definitely gave you a Sub and a 👍Thanks brother🇺🇸
They definitely wear in after about 2k the gun generally cleans up a lot. Most don't shoot that much though. Its crazy how many glocks I see with like 300 rounds through them that are 6 years old.
@@TacticalConsiderations my Glock I carry everyday G19 Gen4 is just a tad over 2 years old and it looks like it is 10 years old. I have shot the crap out of it and it looks like crap but, runs like a champ. Not sure what my round count is but, it is way up there. I kept up with it until I hit 600 but, started getting depressed thinking about all the money I spent on ammo. Brass, Steel, Aluminium it has ate it all so far it has never failed.
Well done
very nice... do i need to change the safety plunger if I plan to upgrade my OEM trigger to apex? thanks man!
Its a solid choice
I must’ve gotten lucky as well bc the trigger on my 43x is fine I mean it’s not my Sig P226 or my CZ but I’ve shot other Glocks that much worse. If I change to a new trigger in the future it will be simply because I don’t like the trigger shoe.
I have has the same both the 43 a d my 43x stick triggers were basic glock feel. But others have had really gritty ones. The shoe interface is why many change them out and the extreme pre travel
Does it allow the trigger dingus/blade to go flush into the trigger face? Stock trigger dingus doesn't go flush when pulled and I don't like it, I don't want a lighter trigger pull.
Yes the trigger safety goes flush
Any issues getting the slide back on/off once the trigger gets installed? I really had to give it force to get the slide back on.
There shouldn't be any more pressure than with the factory set up . Make sure the trigger is depressed and not in the forward or fire position as I'm sure you know. The 43 and 43x are quite a but tighter than say a 19 when re assembling but should feel same as stock
My bar gets caught up in the indent next to the firing spring. Where i have to use a little strength to get past it. The actual side of the numb on the trigger bar even has scratches on it from taking the slide on and off. I wonder if its out of spec or everyone else has same issue
Watching you put the slide back on the 43x seems like you have same issue. None of my other glocks do that
Its much tighter than bigger glocks for sure.
Great...great vid!
Thanks brother.
I love it soo much
Gald to hear it.
I got a really bad factory trigger and I'm considering buying this. Problem is, I'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to disassembling and assembling guns. I don't want to end up with very expensive pieces of hardware lol
There are break down vids all over if you feel comfortable if not any gunsmith can install this literally in 5 min
I noticed this video is more new than your other video covering the overwatch. What trigger do you prefer for the 43 for carry use? I know they both have the same trigger weight but I don’t have access to test either one in person so I’m just gonna have to buy one. What would you recommend as your pick.
I really like the Overwatch TAC for the 43. Its a little shorter on take up than Apex
@@TacticalConsiderations Thanks boss. Just put in my order for the over watch. I’ve been wanting that one because of the crisp wall but I wanted that confirmation. Thanks.
I have an overwatch poly dat in my 43x right now with a ghost edge connector. Does the apex still have that mushy feeling before you reach the wall? Happy with the overwatch but if the apex gets rid of that feeling I’d be willing to make the switch.
In my 43 and 43x the apex is pretty solid about the same as overwatch. I do like the look of overwatch a bit more and I think the take up is a bit shorter on overwatch as well. Apex really designs most things to be duty triggers. Except that M&P flatty that thing is crazy
I just ordered the Apex trigger kit for my 43X mos after watching your video..Thank you What would you recommend for a guide rod?
Good choice! I don't usually like to mess with the guide rods and springs. I have seen to many issues.
@TacticalConsiderations I have to say, I have watched ALL of your videos, and i find them to be the most informative. BTW, thank you for your service.
I truly appreciate that.
,, my question is with these aftermarket triggers that nobody talk about, where does the cruciform sit on the Shelf after installing these triggers if you're changing the trigger Travel, are you not taking that cruciform more off the Shelf thereby defeating the drop safety
I address that directly in the video where I say all safeties intact. Apex is one of only 2 triggers I know of that fed and some police agencies have approved for carry on duty since they are proven safe.
Currently in March 2021 what is the best 43x trigger you would recommend overall? My 43x trigger I don't like it from the factory and I want to swap it. I got an OverWatch precision per your recommendation for my Glock 19 I like it.. but I want to see if there's a better option for the 43x.
The 43 and 43x are known for being pretty gritty and inconsistent. Ive been running FACTR USA and Apex in my 2 43x set ups and have run the overwatch too. The Apex full kit breaks sooner and cleaner than. Factory but is ever so slightly longer on taking up than the overwatch.
My Glock 48 is like sandpaper, gritty as hell I need one of these. On average how much is it to replace the trigger labor wise thanks.
Yup they can be like that sometimes. Polish goes a long way.
Great vid ! Does apex uses oem glock trigger bar?
yes they do.
Do you notice a difference in your 1st gen with the silver slide 43x as opposed to the all black 2nd gen?
Is the trigger pull no
I wonder if they'll make a safety plunger for the 43/43X?
Hmm I haven't though about that actually.
Year after this video, I am considering upgrading my 43x trigger. I cc this gun, but it may have one of the heaviest triggers glock has ever produced. Like apex on some of my builds, but like Overwatch better. Are slim line apex/ overwatch triggers on par with their standard offerings?
The Overwatch has been my fav glock trigger for a while. I really like the performance, looks and feel .. Apex did do a way better job on the new trigger shoe designs.
@@TacticalConsiderations thanks brother. I was leaning that way. Have a merry christmas man, and looking forward to more awesome content in ‘22!
What connector does the Apex come up with? Is it a minus or dot? Or something else? Is modified much? Just wondering if has more of a roll to it than stock 43X?
Its the Apex version its a slight minus but mostly designed to reduce that gritty roll.
I have the 43x trigger in my 48. it works hella great!
Nice. different frame react differently to certain parts. It is nice when it call comes together.
Wish these were in stock!
Hopefully they get caught up
The factory really chews up my trigger finger. Finger rubs the trigger guard because of the angle of the trigger. will this correct that?
It will help a lot due to it being flat and having the shoe safety to sub flush .
I enjoy your channel very much, great info you give ,

Now if only Apex had these in stock! Gawsh
anything glock is a mess due to lack of availability or the trigger bars.
What is the Apex Connector similar to?... Minus Connector? How does it compare to the all popular Ghost Edge or Pro for the 43x? Or even the Double Diamond.
Scott the Apex one is more designed to smooth out the pull not necessarily to drop a lot of weight. The ones you mention will drop weight but may introduce a mushy feeling to the break.
@@TacticalConsiderations Awesome, thanks for the quick reply!
Did you end up liking the Apex or Overwatch Precision for the 43X?
I have both. They are both good set ups. Apex with the connector is a big cleaner. Overwatch has a bit more looks. .
@@TacticalConsiderations Thanks for these videos. I ended up going with the Overwatch Precision Tac w/ the oem minus connector. Hope you have a great Christmas and a happy new year. Now I just need to get my hands on a Shield S15 mag :D
geek sure thing should be a pretty big difference
Which would your recommend the Overwatch TAC Trigger or the Apex Slim Line trigger? Or they about the same for the 43X??
I do think Overwatch is a bit shorter and looks better . Tough one but the added connector in the Apex makes it feel a bit cleaner.
Tactical Considerations ahh ok, right now I have the TAC trigger and the OEM minus connector with the NP3 coating from Overwatch. But not sure if it’d be nice to just do the upgrade and all. :-)
@@moejoe7677 the set up you have is legit
I have one coming in the mail for my G43X.
Enjoy man remember to lube the connector where the trigger bar makes contact 👍
How do you like it? Got on coming in mail for my 43x.

Love Jonny Glock trigger .. He’s the best in the business to me .. Great video tho thanks
As many say the man is a trigger god .
Tactical Considerations customer service is by far the best he will talk to you 1 on 1 . No dang computer.. lol .. it’s real
I've heard . And that's tough for busy guys
Sir, I need your help; I have a nerve problem and start shaking when I hit and try to pull through the wall of the trigger, and I would like to solve this issue. I really have a hard time justifying $200-$300 for a trigger, but may if that's all I can do. What would you recommend? Thanks for any advice offered.
Justin not being a doctor I don't know exactly what the nerve issue is doing. I can tell you after having surgery on both my hands personally one with some nerve damage it was a matter or retraining my finger with dry fire.. My thumb is where most of the damage was and it caused my grip to loosen and trigger finger to freeze I had to speed things up and really concentrate on maintaining that primary had grip.
@@TacticalConsiderations
Thanks for the valuable & insightful feedback. I'll have to consider dry firing more than a catch phrase only used by professionals.
I'll start there instead of mulling over all of the different trigger bar connectors and spring weight changes.
👍
How much does it reduce pre-travel? How this reduction compares to the Overwatch TAC or Poly trigger? I want to leave pre-travel as factory as possible. Old Apex systems don't seems to reduce pre-travel but this new Slimline claims pre-travel reduction on their website. Thanks for your videos and reviews!
Hey man. Apex and Overwatch reduce pretravel about 20%. Hope that helps
@@TacticalConsiderations Want to install a Striker Control Device (gadget) on my G43X but this only works on triggers that don't reduce pre-travel. Got Overwatch Precision triggers on all my Glock's but willing to switch for Apex if I'll be able to use the gadget with them. Tried a Gen 5 Glock 19 MOS with a kit that includes the Apex Trigger and Connector, the pre-travel seems almost like factory, but Apex website now claims pre-travel reduced on all triggers. Thanks again for your feedback.
@@ronaldperezmedina yeah I get ya man. There is definitely a take up change so may not work.
@topseatcovers had to remove your other comment man. CZcams does not allow links to any 2a products.
I'm looking at the Apex kit for my g43 or overwatch precision dat trigger. Any advice between the two?
Both are good .. overwatch is a bit shorter take up i feel and looks are on point .
@@TacticalConsiderations what do you recommend for carrying?
I carry overwatch and factr usa
I know a lot of people were having issues with apex triggers for the slimline glocks. Anyone got an August 2020 update? Have they worked out the kinks yet?
What are the issues?
Tactical Considerations A lot of people say the trigger pull is gritty and the bar hangs up on the slide during reassembly. I suspect that Apex had trouble sourcing enough slimline OEM trigger bars to make the kit and were modding older bars. I installed my kit and it’s running fine, but the trigger bar I got has the right part number.
@@Mike-ul1xn I am gonna look at my numbers
@@TacticalConsiderations what’s the right numbers on it ?
Both mine are running fine with a bunch of rounds and are prior to August 2020 builds
Which trigger do you run today on your 43x?
FACTR usa
Specifically for the 43, do you prefer apex or overwatch? I like less take up, a definite wall, and a short reset.
Overwatch is a little shorter and has that defined wall.
@@TacticalConsiderations thank you so much! That’s where I was leaning. Love your channel.
Much appreciated 1👍
Would ya go this or Zev tech pro for the 43x or just pay the price and go Johnny Glocks
Man Johnny glocks has the best thing going besides the Timney Alpha.. If you got the coin to toss his trigger are legit.
@@TacticalConsiderations do ya like the Zev Pro for half the price of JG?
Mike, I need your opinion on this. After watching this video, I bought an Apex 2.0 trigger for my Glock 43X. After installing the trigger, I immediately noticed the slide does not come off or go back on smoothly as it does with the OEM trigger. Before I can get the slide to come off or go back on, I have to first pull the trigger forward to reset it and then, even after doing this, I have to manipulate the slide a bit before the slide will come off or go back on. If I do not reset the trigger, the slide WILL NOT come off or go back on. I even reinstalled the OEM trigger and the problem disappeared. I then reinstalled the Apex trigger and BINGO, the problem of the binding slide is back. I spoke directly with Apex about this problem and they acknowledged the problem of the slide binding a bit but cited a tighter fit and tighter tolerances due to the engineering of the trigger. Apex said this problem would not hinder the reliability or functionality of my 43x. Have you noticed or experienced this issue with an Apex 2.0 trigger in your 43X or any other Glocks? What are your thoughts on this matter? Please speak with candor...this is of concern to me. I enjoy your reviews. Keep up the good work.
Hey bud. You are the second person to bring this up to me. Mine is tight but not like what you're saying. I have 2 if them that both run perfect in the 43 and 43x. I'll take a look at them and maybe use some marking compound to see where contact is being made. Have you fired it yet
Tactical Considerations Yes, I have fired it...no hangups yet but this binding slide does not give one a warm, fuzzy feeling. I love the improved trigger function and feel of the Apex trigger but it has become a royal pain in the ass to remove or install the slide whereas with the OEM trigger, the slide goes on and comes off like butter. What to do, what to do......🤷🏻♂️
Definitely let me know
Is it the shoe or the bar that’s hanging up?
Same issue - just did the install and ran into the same problem. Very disappointed considering the reputation Apex has. Should have done more research, but apparently this has been a known problem for a few years. The trigger shoe is to blame. If you look where the trigger bar connects to the trigger shoe, the thinner-sided wall is too thin, and not as thick as the OEM trigger. This causes just enough misalignment to result in unwanted contact. No bueno..... They say after shooting the gun enough, some of the material will wear off of the trigger bar and/or slide and the binding will stop, but that’s not what I would consider an acceptable solution.
What mag extensions do you have on the 43?? So clean!
Those are the tyrants
Tactical Considerations so good. Have you put them on your 43x yet?
Just got them in for testing this week
Tactical Considerations just ordered back plate and release. Can’t wait to see a few pics of the 43x with mag extensions
@@moneyUWM soon buddy soon 👍
How is the install on these? I've only used factory triggers so I've never dabbled with this before. Fairly easy to install or is this something I should take in to get done?
These are super easy. Alex has detailed videos on them.
@@TacticalConsiderations just bought one..cant wait to get it installed and to the range
nice
I'm more concerned with overtravel than the weight, as long as it's a reasonable weight. With my G48 and stock trigger, I can feel that trigger take off and then stop at the back of the triggergaurd after the break. I really have to grip extra hard not to throw shots.
I get ya there overtravel is a pain.
Since we're talking about the 43x, any plans to cover the S15 mags from Shield Arms?
If I can get some .
@@TacticalConsiderations they seem to be a hot commodity.
I know. Shield stuff is pretty nice and they are a bit pricey but quality is generally not cheap
@@TacticalConsiderations very true.
Apex has a trigger dyno.. dope lol
Lol right
Is the agency arms trigger for the 43x safe
I have never used that one. I haven't had good luck with agency triggers.
Does it run less reliable if I just change the trigger shoe
No
These apex triggers down lower the trigger pull weight at all??? I wouldn’t want nothing lower then 4lbs for an EDC
They were not built to lower pull weight . They smooth out and and shorten the pull
A reg apex shoe alone will fit the 43 43x and 48 just fine
There are differences between the full size shoes and the slimline shoe .
Sucks it might not be for the PSA Dagger Micro
Not sure don't have one yet.
@@TacticalConsiderationsWould their 43X fit inside the Dagger Micro? Last I checked, they said none of their triggers would work inside the Dagger Micro. Also, love your videos. Great insight in all of them and your channel is my go to for very simple and straightforward reviews.
will this trigger work on the Glock 43x mos
Yes
When you talked about trigger with attire manipulation causing discharges (19:25 ), I immediately think of Roger Barrera over at QVO Tactical. The dude is flinging his his attire all over the place and will often show his issues with his draw at the end with the blooper reels. He also re-holsters so damn fast that my heart skips a beat when I watch him in his videos re-holstering his guns! Just watch his review of the hellcat Pro czcams.com/video/Pk9Q6o3VBkw/video.html
Roger is fast .. I never rush to put it away since I carry appendix for these I am pretty deliberate about it.
Does the 43X trigger work with the Glock 48?
Yes
Do you have your 15 rounds mag for your 43X?
The ets ones indeed
I got 2 last week for my new 43x and the mag release. I’ve never been a Glock fan but the 43x with 15+1 is the perfect edc for me. Imho I couldn’t ask for a better carry gun
I own a 43...I’m thinking in buying a 48 not because I like it but because I can have the Holly Trinity...43, 43X & 48!
Your thoughts, Mike!
Air Assault!
Lol the trinity I like all of them and will likely do the same. The 43x and 48 are preferable especially with that 15 round shield arms magazine.
RLTW!
Tactical Considerations Shield Arms is the exact reason I’m thinking buying the 48!
I think I’m gonna’ miss the serrations in the front of the 43X...but It’s worth it!
Take care my friend!
@@rickyramirez3483 You too
Is there a 2.0? I only see one model out there. Thanks in advance.
They are all this version now....
@@TacticalConsiderations there's some reviews out there that the slim line is nowhere as good as the regular gen5s, so I'm hesitant to buy them.
Slim line triggers are a bit grittier than the regular sized frames according to many. Mine were not terrible but definitely different from the factory than others . Break in period on the stick one definitely a must
I just hate how the Glock trigger safety blade sticks out.
Yeah that's a common theme with glock triggers.
Is the Tyrant mag release polymer or metal??
Its aluminum. It's a nice one
@@TacticalConsiderations Thanks. May you do a side by side comparison with the Over Watch trigger and this new Apex gen 2 trigger? Like to see the difference in brake and take up.

Just put this in my 43X, did not work well at all, way to tight on the connector and trigger bar is wider than stock putting too much pressure on resets, trigger would not reset every 2-3 racks.
Interesting I've had this in a few 43x pistols now without issue
@@TacticalConsiderations According to APEX, they no longer can get trigger bars from Glock so they had to source them out and I got one of the new ones. My testing showed the trigger bars are much thicker than stock glock causing excess pressure on the side of the trigger box causing failed resets. I returned mine and looking for another option.
Good fucking video bro....💯
thank you T. Payne 🤘👍
I wish this trigger bar didn't make my 43 not reset... or whatever it is in this trigger kit.
who installed it?
I did. Any suggestions?
thought it might have been a lubricant issue.. reinstalled real wet and it worked better but still not 100%.. gotta go back to oem. sigh. love the feel of shoe; scared of the reliability issues.
THE STOCK TRIGGER SUCKS, NO PERFECTION NOTED,
INSTALLED APEX TRIGGER 43x AND TRIGGER STILL SUCKS!
ANYONE KNOW WHERE I CAN GET A REAL TRIGGER KIT TO DECREASE TRIGGER PULL TO 2.5 TO 3 LBS WITH 43X?
THANKS,,
You can look into some other connectors but 2.5 on a striker like this is pretty low.
@@TacticalConsiderations The 43X will be used as a BUG GUN for Bug Gun Matches. Thanks, any recommendations for a good connector?
Have you heard about sheild-arms S-15 mags???
I haven't tried them. But I think hey are made by a company called checkmate and marketed by shield arms. They sound promising though
I just bought 2 of them with the upgraded mag release. LOVE THAT SETUP! Mags work perfectly!
I just purchased today a 43X and the trigger is HEAVY...😥
I have heard people having heavy 43x triggers. Mine were normal. Try a polish and a few hundred rounds she will lighten up
@@TacticalConsiderations I don't have a trigger gauge but it feels like 10lbs.. I guess I'm spoiled with the Gen5.
I also plan to do a .25 trigger job, I'm sure it will clean up some.
@@richerich853 it should
Rich E Rich mine too. I hate it and it is killer on my finger and I shoot glocks all the time with no problems.
Are you speaking of the 102-B117? I’m looking at that for my G48.
Thats the one. The slim frame kit from apex. I think its like 125 ish.
Tactical Considerations Good deal. Cost isn’t a problem. Just want the best for me and the 48. HD Trijicon sights are next.
Totally get it. Overwatch and Apex make really nice and effective set ups. Both are safe as factory with cleaner operation. The ameriglo spartans maybe something to look at as well. i just put a set on a buddies 43 and they are pretty nice for much less than trijicon. Just another option
Tactical Considerations Will do. Thank you! I will look at those ASAP. I have a Taurus 24/7 Pro DS that I’ve got to unload. Don’t laugh, lol I’ve had it for years.. But, your review on the G45 convinced me to replace it.
If it worked it worked man. I try not to be judgy as I'm not in everyone's shoes yes know
Installed the overwatch today. Man I don’t see what the hype is. Still crap. Maybe they are better in the full size. Will need to check out the Apex.
Really? There should be a noticeable difference in take up about 20%. It wont be lighter unless you do a connector with it. The Apex is a kit but feels much smoother and breaks quicker. But the Overwatch should give a pretty good difference from stock
Tactical Considerations take up yes. But thats about it. I guess im looking for something that feels like the full size triggers. These slim line ones are way different
@@24sevvin ok yeah the slimline stuff is a bit more gritty and heavy to most according comments. Polish up that connector and safety plunger that might give you a smoother feel
So is the trigger pull still 6lbs?💀
No its down around 4.5 now.
It's crazy to me they offer triggers with these specific models but a 45 acp or 10mm is just completely out of the question 🤦♂️ fucking apex
Well that has to do with the fact they sell 500 of these to every 1 45acp or 10mm model. Most companies dropped support for the 45/10 due to lake of sales and ROI
What is *_much_* better than an aftermarket trigger??
- Training with your gun.
- Practicing every chance you can get.
- Being the 1st at the shooting range & last to leave the range.
- shooting 500 to 600 rounds to *naturally* smooth every part of the moving parts
of your gun by friction. This way the gun itself does the work *at the exact* place needed for free.
Think gun people & save money.
OP-ED NOTE: if you need an aftermarket *trigger* like the video's money maker _Apex Triggers_ to
shoot your gun better then you have not attained adulthood in shooting for self-defense.
Some of what you say is true. I always preach training and range time. Options are options that being said glock factory triggers are atrocious.
OP-ED NOTE:
Everything you said is your opinion it is all an Op-ed.
@@TacticalConsiderations My pure opinion on your statements in "quotes":
1st
_"I always preach training and range time."_
I love this as that is the major thing that improves tactics & actually hitting your target(s).
Looking like you are an "operator" or a "pimp" & buying all kinds of "tactical" gear is not what
self-defense is about (IMO). That is what posers are about.
2nd
_"glock factory triggers are atrocious."_
What the... I have used Glock triggers for over 15 years and prefer them to ALL kinds of triggers on
the market & the aftermarket. Remember, the Glock trigger is:
- a combat trigger that works well. After market triggers are designed to make money for the "custom" manufacturer.
- a striker fired trigger & takes time to smooth out (about 500 to 600 rounds) & then you got a wonderful trigger.
- if you need a "good" trigger, whatever that means _then you ain't practicing_ with your firearm.
Check it out:
Today's gun industry people talk a lot more about triggers for some reason today as compared to even when
the 1st _striker-fired Glock appeared in the *1980's.*
At that time very light & smooth revolver triggers were considered to be a "good" trigger.
Different "Good" Triggers
- Police think a heavy trigger is a good one
- Sharp Shooters & Snipers want light trigger
- Cowboy Action Shooter love *hair* triggers
- MILITARY demands triggers with safeties
- A few people like double action triggers
So what a "good" trigger is I have no idea, except I can shoot my Glock with it's stock trigger fast &
accurately enough to end any life-threatening situation. Maybe that is a good trigger?
3rd
True statement of fact said by you *Tactical C.* _"Options are options."_ The other saying that said by
those selling the options: *_Theres a sucker born everyday._*
If a person wants to load up on aftermarket junk they can of course, _their money._ I am only stating these facts:
- Training with your gun.
and
- Practicing every chance you can get.
will do everything an after market trigger, sight option, stippling job, slide lightening procedure,
gold plated after market barrel, etc. will do and do it fast & easily.
Stay frosty.
They are out of stock on all of them pretty much, sucks!!
yeah everything has been bought up
