@WeaponsVault As soon as you buy those Gen 5’s, Glock is coming out with Gen 6’s 🫠

@WeaponOutfitter Home Depot has several different sized Collapsible Water Containers available very reasonably priced. When not in use they can be collapsed and stored away without taking up too much space.

Seeing the news about the super el nino is making me glad I have a decent MRE and freeze dried food stash, but also realized that my water storage game is WEAK and I need to fix that.

@spikesguides You obviously don’t understand all that went into the R&D of that Black EOTECH logo, compared to the standard white version. They have to recoup their investment bro 🙄

Know what's grim?
It's currently cheaper to buy a Trijicon ACOG than it is to buy an EO Tech holographic.

@A_Kennedy_1990 @HankVenture5 Did you go with the Radian Compressor Guild-rod or stay with the stock Glock one?
English

@SolidAlphaOne @HankVenture5 It’s night and day difference. The price of the RJ/AB was the only thing making me hesitate at first. Now I’m 100% getting one for my wife’s 43x and considering it for other Glocks I have as well as their RXM version.

P365 AXG Legion with RomeoX / Glock 43X COA - mini comparo.
These are the two sub compacts I will be carrying regularly moving forward, when I need a smaller/lighter package than the G19 I normally CCW.
Price;
Sig P365 AXG Legion/RomeoX - $1350 street price.
Glock G43X COA - $999 street price.
Capacity;
Sig 17+1
Glock 15 +1 with aftermarket (and soon factory) mags.
Dimensions;
The Sig is about 3/4 an inch longer and about an inch taller than the Glock, if you account for the taller Aimpoint optic then the difference in height is down to around 1/2" but arguably the taller optic is far easier to conceal than a larger grip. I find both pistols very easy to carry concealed. Width is about the same on both.
Sig with it's metal frame loaded weighs 2 lbs 2 oz.
Glock is a featherweight at 1 lb 10 oz.
Trigger;
Sig has a little more take up and then has about a 4 lb break with the Sig "springiness" that their striker guns are known for.
Glock has very little take up, about 5.5 lbs of trigger pull and snaps like a stick.
Optics;
The COA optic on the Glock is taller, is fully enclosed, has much better glass with a very crisp 3.5 MOA dot and a longer battery run time. Has very positive 1 MOA click adjustments made with an allen screw or the Aimpoint sight tool used on their rifle optics. With the A-Cut footprint there is an integrated blacked out integrated set of "irons" that can be used if the dot goes down.
Purchased separately the COA is a $600 Swedish made optic with a 10 year limited warranty.
The Romeo-X compact is probably made with parts sourced from Holosun, it has a smaller window, a lot of tint, and a 2 MOA dot that is probably not the best choice for getting into a gunfight with a pistol. It is an open emitter so the dot can be obstructed by dirt, rain, snow, etc. It has very tiny adjustment screws that are a bit mushy. It is low to the pistol and slightly wider than the slide. The P365 Legion has standard night sights that co-witness with the very low dot's integrated rear sight notch that has dayglow rods.
Purchased separately the Romeo-X is a $400 and is assembled in the US with Chinese parts and has a lifetime warranty.
In comparing the optics, both are 100% useable, especially at the types of ranges that the typical pistol engagement would happen (60% of police deadly force encounters take place within 20').
The Romeo feels "tight" and a bit crowded with the night sights, the smallish window, the very blue tint.
The COA feels spacious with a very precise dot that is even more forgiving to my astigmatism.
Ergos;
The P365 AXG Legion with its metal frame, excellent grip texture, flat faced forward trigger and size is likely one of the easiest sub-compact handguns for a newer shooter to learn to shoot quickly well.
The G43X has Glock's love it or hate it "brick" ergos and grip angle. The grip is more than large enough for good purchase but has almost no texture, likely because of Glock's belief that CCW carriers will carry the pistol against their bare skin (most don't). The mag release can be reached without breaking your grip but is not as ergonomically friendly as Sig's. The trigger is a traditional Glock semi-curved trigger with their blade safety mechanism.
Shooting;
The P365 AXG Legion is a pleasure to shoot, with an above average trigger for a striker fired gun. The grip is outstanding and the weight of the pistol combined with the grip texture, grip angle and integrated compensator make this an excellent gun to run. The letdown on the Sig is the mediocre Romeo-X optic.
The G43X is not an enjoyable gun to shoot. Like, at all. With the low weight and lack of grip texture it is an extremely snappy handgun to shoot, especially with +p loads. Having said that, it is completely capable of firing groups at a reasonable speed at typical handgun engagement distances of 25 yards or so, assuming you practice. I would not recommend the 43X for newer shooters or shooters who have a hard time locking in their grip and wrist angle. A lot of the irritation with the mechanics of the G43X are made up by the outstanding COA optic which is without a doubt the best compact red dot available on a handgun in 2026.
Why pick which gun?
For those in free states, who can afford the steep asking price, the P365AXG Legion is an outstanding choice. Smaller than a Glock 19 it packs more rounds, has outstanding recoil control, great controls and is only let down by the Romeo-X Compact which, in all fairness would have been considered a decent compact pistol optic just a few years ago.
The Glock 43X with the COA optic is a more difficult gun to shoot well, has a lower capacity (but one that is legal in more states with either factory 10 round mags or 15 round aftermarket mags) but has without a doubt the best optics solution for shooters who prioritize that aspect of a CCW pistol.
I am getting a Radian Ramjet/Afterburner for the 43X soon which will take the dimensions to that of a Glock 48 but with hopefully much better recoil control. The combination will end up being almost exactly the same price as the P365 AXG Legion so I will provide a brief update after I get a couple hundred rounds through that setup.

@Trijicon Why not include the Green dot RMR in the rebate celebration?
English

@aimsurplus Anyone know about compatibility issues with any magwells? I’m specifically wondering about the Radian 43x magwell.
English

@RenoMayGuns Does this help in determining holster compatibility?

If you haven’t checked out the website handgun hero, you should. Super neat tool to compare specs

Staccato C4X is in hand. Will shoot it this week.
