The Glock G43X delivers enhanced capacity and improved grip length in a slim, concealable package ideal for everyday carry. This 9mm subcompact pistol combines the proven G43 slide with an extended frame that accommodates 10 rounds while maintaining a 1.1-inch width profile.
What Makes This Different
The G43X bridges the gap between ultra-compact carry guns and full-size pistols through its unique proportions. The extended grip provides better control and higher capacity than the standard G43, while the shorter slide reduces printing and weight. Cerakote finish adds corrosion resistance beyond standard polymer treatment, extending service life in harsh conditions.
Key Features
- 10+1 capacity in slim single-stack configuration for enhanced firepower
- 3.41-inch barrel length optimizes velocity while maintaining concealability

Field testing demonstrates consistent accuracy at defensive distances with various 9mm loads. The balanced weight distribution and extended grip surface reduce muzzle flip during rapid fire sequences. Law enforcement agencies report reliable function through 5,000+ round service intervals without maintenance-related failures. The pistol performs in temperature ranges from -40°F to 140°F without functional degradation.
