The Glock G43X MOS delivers enhanced versatility for concealed carry with its optics-ready slide and compact profile. This 9mm pistol combines the proven G43X platform with MOS (Modular Optic System) capability, allowing shooters to mount red dot sights without custom machining.
What Makes This Different
The MOS system sets this apart from standard G43X models by providing pre-cut slide mounting points for popular micro red dot optics. Factory serrations on the slide improve grip during manipulation under stress. The 3.41-inch barrel delivers full powder burn while maintaining a compact 6.5-inch overall length, making it 0.87 inches shorter than the G19 while offering similar capacity.
Key Features
- MOS optic mounting system compatible with Shield RMSc, Holosun 407K/507K, and Trijicon RMRcc footprints
- 10+1 capacity with flush-fit magazine in a sub-compact frame
- Polymer frame with integrated Picatinny rail for lights and lasers
- Textured polymer grip panels for secure handling in wet conditions
- Ambidextrous slide stop lever accommodates left and right-handed shooters
- GMB (Glock Marksman Barrel) with enhanced rifling for improved accuracy

The G43X MOS maintains Glock's reputation for reliability across temperature extremes and high round counts. The 9mm Luger chambering provides effective terminal ballistics with manageable recoil, suitable for both experienced shooters and those transitioning from smaller calibers. The compact dimensions make it viable for appendix carry while the rail system accommodates tactical lights for low-light scenarios.
