The Glock G43X delivers enhanced capacity and improved grip ergonomics in a slim, concealable profile that bridges the gap between micro and compact pistols. This 9mm subcompact maintains Glock's legendary reliability while offering superior control and shootability compared to smaller single-stack designs.
What Makes This Different
The G43X features a longer grip frame than the G43, accommodating a 10-round magazine while maintaining the same slim 1.10-inch width. The Silver nPVD slide finish provides enhanced corrosion resistance and reduced glare compared to standard Tenifer coating. This configuration delivers 67% more capacity than traditional single-stack subcompacts without sacrificing concealability.
