The Glock G43X MOS combines the proven reliability of Glock engineering with enhanced versatility for everyday carry and tactical applications. This compact 9mm pistol features the Modular Optic System (MOS) for direct red dot mounting, making it ideal for shooters who demand precision in a concealable package. The Cerakote finish provides superior corrosion resistance beyond standard polymer coating.
What Makes This Different
The MOS system eliminates the need for custom machining or adapter plates found on competing models. Factory-installed mounting bosses accept popular red dot sights directly to the slide, maintaining a lower profile than aftermarket solutions. The G43X frame combines the compact grip of the G43 with a longer slide for improved sight radius and reduced felt recoil compared to subcompact alternatives.
