Glock 43X Subcompact 9mm Pistol - Amethyst Cerakote Finish 10rd

The Glock 43X delivers the reliability of the proven G43 platform with enhanced capacity and improved grip ergonomics in a slim, concealable package. This variant features an eye-catching amethyst Cerakote finish that provides superior corrosion resistance while maintaining the pistol's legendary durability.

What Makes This Different

The 43X bridges the gap between the ultra-compact G43 and full-size models by extending the grip to accommodate a 10-round magazine while maintaining the same 1.10-inch slide width. The amethyst Cerakote coating offers 2-3 times better corrosion resistance than standard finishes and adds a distinctive appearance that sets this pistol apart from standard black models. The Silver nPVD slide coating complements the purple frame finish while providing enhanced wear resistance.

Law enforcement agencies report excellent concealment characteristics with duty gear, while competitive shooters appreciate the improved sight radius over shorter models.
