Best Glock 43X Accessories Available

What can I add to my Glock 43X? There is no shortage of aftermarket accessories, but I feel a few are necessary.

Glock 43X Sights | Night Fision Sights

Night Fision is one of the oldest Tritium license holders in the United States and knows something about working with Tritium. Their Tritium night sights are some of the most technologically advanced sights on the market for handguns.

So what makes the Night Fision Tritium night sights stand out from others on the market?

To start they use a ballistic polymer cup. Many other companies use only a painted ring or small cap. The ballistic polymer cup is made from the same material as bulletproof glass. Additionally, the ballistic polymer cup material is given a fluorescent color. Inside the ballistic polymer cup sits a custom-made Tritium vial.

That Tritium vial has 30% more gas pressure than any other night sight on the market. Pressure is what makes the Tritium bright. The higher the pressure, the brighter the gas becomes. Next, the ballistic polymer cup and custom Tritium vial is injected into a 4140 metal body that is coated with a black nitride finish.

All this attention to detail ensures their sights are the brightest available. Night Fision guarantees the sights for life never to chip, crack, fade, or fall out. Pretty sure these sights will survive an end-of-the-world apocalypse.

If you’re running a Glock 43X MOS with an optic, Night Fision has you covered with their Optics Ready Stealth Series.

Faxon Firearms Glock 43X Barrel

You can do a few things to a pistol to stretch the effective distance to 50 yards and beyond.

Things like a match barrel that can cut your group in half at 50 yards, ammo selection, and a good set of sights.

Faxon Firearms has been impressing the industry with its barrel expertise for a while now. Their match-grade barrels for the Glock 43X are no exception.

The Faxon match barrel drops right in without any fitting needed and the lockup is noticeably tighter than the OEM barrel. The combination of the tighter lockup, 1:10 conventional rifling, and 11-degree target crown make for a clean shooting and very accurate Glock 43X.

This Glock 43x barrel is extremely accurate and with the different coating options, you can get the look you want; because looking cool does matter.

Faxon Firearms EXOS Compensator

The Faxon EXOS Pistol Compensator is one of the best comps on the market for the Glock 43X handgun. Granted it’s not the only player in town, its design, ease of installation, and performance have put the competition on its heels.

The angled port design allows gas to deflect upwards as opposed to only deflecting to the sides, reducing the up and down muzzle movement and improving the overall accuracy of the Glock 43x.

The Faxon EXOS Pistol Compensator is designed to fit flush with the slide and has been optimized for Faxon pistol barrels.

Shield Arms Glock 43X Magazine

The Glock 43X is an excellent option for concealed carry, but with a ten-round capacity, it falls short of other pistols in this category.

Shield Arms has the solution with its innovative Gen2 15-round metal magazine. This high-strength steel magazine not only adds an extra five rounds of capacity but does it while extending no further than the factory magazine.

Additionally, you get a little better purchase at the base of the magazine if you need to rip the magazine from the gun.

Shield Arms Glock Magazine Release

The Shield Arms Glock Magazine Release is a quick and easy way to upgrade your Glock 43X pistol. It is machined from steel for unrivaled durability and designed to seamlessly integrate with the pistol’s ergonomics and styling.

In addition to functioning exactly like an OEM release, the Shield Arms Glock 43X Magazine Release profile is slightly extended with chamfered edges, which helps ensure that you eject your magazine each time you depress the mag release. Why upgrade to this steel Glock magazine release?

The OEM magazine release is made from a polymer material. When you upgrade to the Shield Arms 15-round metal magazine, over time that metal magazine will wear on the OEM magazine release causing functionality issues. To mitigate those issues, upgrading to this steel magazine release is highly recommended.

This is a fast and easy way to customize your favorite Glock. The magazine release is compatible with Glock OEM 43X and 48 magazines, plus the Shield Arms 15-round metal magazines.

Conclusion

In our opinion, these are the best Glock 43x accessories, and they take stock 43x to the next level.

What I mean by that is that when I’m shooting this gun, I don’t feel like I’m shooting a smaller-sized gun; I feel like I’m shooting a normal-sized gun such as the Glock 19.

Additionally, I have the same capacity as a Glock 19 but in a smaller footprint for concealability.

Add these Glock 43X accessories to your handgun and watch the performance and accuracy skyrocket.
