The Glock G43X delivers proven reliability in a slim, compact frame optimized for concealed carry. This 9mm pistol combines the trusted Glock operating system with enhanced ergonomics and a durable Cerakote finish that resists wear and corrosion better than standard polymer coatings.
What Makes This Different
The G43X features a unique combination of compact grip length with a longer sight radius compared to the G43, improving accuracy while maintaining concealability. The Silver nPVD slide coating provides superior corrosion resistance, while the 10-round magazine capacity offers more firepower than single-stack competitors. Glock's Safe Action trigger system eliminates the need for manual safeties while maintaining drop-safe reliability.
