 Hey there friends, thanks for checking in at the range now and we're going to do a range comparison with the Glock 43x and The Springfield Hellcat both subcompact nine millimeter handguns that many people are proud to call their CCW Let's start with the Springfield Hellcat new release from Springfield It is a subcompact gun that carries 11 rounds in the smaller magazine Which Springfield claims is the most in the industry for a gun this size It also comes with a 13 round magazine both double-stack a very lightweight gun loaded with 11 rounds weighing at 23 ounces 3 inch barrel rear serrations that go straight across the top of the slide front serrations It does have a U dot sight a U in the rear a tritium front night sight a rail What they call an adaptive grip texturing, okay? Anywhere the hand touches that texturing is there a flat-faced trigger That I measure right at five pounds. It also has a sight hole indicator on top But this is the non-OSP so this does not have a slide cut out for an optic The other one is an OSP model and that stands for optical sight pistol the MSRP on this 569 it is selling for right around 569 not a great variance off of the MSRP at this point. Let's see how it does It's a very nice shooting handgun. I Like that trigger and I like the way this gun performs. It's performed this way since day one And at this point in time I have a good amount of rounds through it But now we have the Glock 43 X and This was a big hit when it first came out many people were wanting Glock to come out with a Higher-capacity magazine in their subcompact format. So they came out with this with a 10 round capacity from Glock and They also enjoy very strong aftermarket support. So you already you are already seeing Companies come out with higher-capacity magazines for the 43 X and the Glock 48 but this one here has the PVD coated slide It's got a 3.4 inch barrel with the silver PVD coated. They also make that in black now Okay, when it first came out many people wanted black so Glock didn't make that change front serrations Here we have the field gold Rear sight dot in the front those are polymer once again Glock aftermarket support is strong The mag holds 10 rounds already mentioned that but it is not interchangeable with the original Glock 43 grip texturing Very much Glock ish. Everything about this is Glock ish It does offer three finger contact on the gun Which is nice and the one thing that I really like about this is that it is very consistent with all the other Glock models Trigger pull measuring over five and a half pounds same Glock trigger with the trigger bar safety in there So you know you go from the say Glock 26 to this there's not a great learning curve I have one round in there does have a sight hole indicator So I was able to see that to give it 11 rounds. Let's see how it does and there we go the 43 X Very nice pistol So we've got the Glock 43 X and the Springfield Hellcat I forgot to mention the 43 X sells for between four fifty and five hundred dollars and that too has not Budged much since its initial offering. So both these are selling for right around the MSRP So which one would you choose? Well, let me tell you my thoughts. You can see that I both I shot both these fairly well I do enjoy owning both of them very much But with Glock you have to rely on the aftermarket support and although this gun has a lot of strength going for it You know for a carry gun night sights would need to be added a lot of people have Aftermarket triggers. I have an apex trigger. I need to install that but it you know additional mag It requires aftermarket support as where the Hellcat comes complete with everything Which does have a tritium dot it does have a 13 round magazine that comes in the case and many other things that I did not Mention so if you want something out of the case in my opinion the Hellcat is nice But I also love this Glock 43 what I'm mostly interested in hearing is what you think if you like videos like this Please subscribe and share I always appreciate thumbs up button.
