This includes a short trigger distance, built-in beavertail frame, and reversible magazine catch. The black slide has a nDLC finish, and the frame incorporates elements of the Gen5 and Slimline series. The G43X is a subcompact 9x19mm slimline pistol. Plus, it is the best compromise found in the Glock range for a conceal carry with adequate capacity for 9mm rounds. Being a Glock, it has the accuracy and reliability expected. The G43X does have more capacity than the G43, but it still holds less than the main competition – the P365.ĭespite this shortfall, many Glock lovers have been overjoyed with the G43X. We praise Glock for listening to users by releasing a larger capacity conceal carry weapon. However, many in the industry were still underwhelmed. Introduced at the 2019 SHOT Show, this is one of two of Glock’s slim-line pistols. This allows for a more filled out grip, which in turn has increased the capacity from 6 to 10 rounds in the chamber. This is effectively a G43, with the frame stretched slightly. The safety leaf sits in the center, which again makes this feel like any other Glock you’ve taken to the shooting range.Īs we have mentioned already, the Glock 43X was designed as a conceal carry gun. Similarly, the raised dot grip texture is on all four sides, making it feel like any other Glock. The trigger measures about 6 pounds, making it a touch heavier than some other Glocks. The magazine release is on the left, though you can reverse this. This allows for an aggressive high grip without needing to worry about slide bite. The aggressive beavertail shape scoops down a bit. This provides a shine-free exterior that looks good, though some may find the silver slide off-putting. The frame of the G43x is the traditional black polymer, while the slide has a matte silver nPVD finish. Interesting fact: Glock only makes one other crossover model, the Glock 19X. Thus, the G43X is a cross between the G43 and the G48, which explains the ‘X’ at the end. With the G43X was designed with an increased capacity in mind, while paying attention to retaining the conceal-ability of the handgun.
These are both part of the new Glock slimline series, with the G48 having a slightly longer slide length. The Glock 43X is a hybrid, pulling together the compact design of the Glock 43 and the newly released Glock 48. Luckily for Glock lovers, things have finally changed… Especially when you consider that the Sig P365 is comparably the same size, and yet holds double the capacity with 12+1 rounds. For many of us, that’s simply not enough rounds to get off before needing to reload.
