Glock releases more single-stack pistols: G43x, G48 (VIDEO)

By Daniel Terrill


Glock expanded their slimline series with two new variants: the Glock 43x and 48. Compared to the original 43, the differences are obvious. The new guns feature a longer grip that holds a 10-round magazine, and serrations on both the front and rear of the slide.
The original 43 combines the performance of Glock’s traditional double-stack design and the slim profile of handguns built specifically for concealed carry. The 1.1 inch width affords a more comfortable concealment. With the single-stack design coming out some four years ago, it was time for an upgrade.
“We’re always in development of new products and pursuit of innovation in our product line,” said Brandie Collins, Glock’s public relations and communications manager. “The release of these products were fitting for SHOT Show, especially with the expansion of the slimline series and the addition of the G43X to the crossover category.”
The new guns are equipped with familiar Glock features — the safe-action trigger, removable sights, and reversible controls — that make shooting intuitive and adaptable to individual preference. The longer grip allows for a full three-finger wraparound. That and the simple point-and-shoot ergonomics make controlling the 9mm easy.
