Glock 43X

[blksheep 466]

Recoil Web breaking story. Yes please.  Let it be known Sheepdog Arms first to break the story...

[Zeke 5,504]

Sig won. Glock sucks!

 

why do I think my wife is gonna want one?

[diamondd817 826]

Mine is 7+1 (with standard baseplates). I'm good with that. I don't want a larger single stack pistol.

He he... I bet my 365 is same size as your 43.. but carries mo muscle 

[Maksim 1,504]

No doubt, this will be a great seller.

Creeping up to a Glock 19/26 size, no?

Looing forward to shooting it at Shot Show.

Are you using a magguts follower?  How do you like it?

Yep. I have magguts spring and follower kits in my G43 and G42. Both have been 100% reliable and I have 100% confidence in them.

There is this  rumor also:

Gock 48 - Single Stack 19 or 17 size.

So... a Glock 1911. lol

Humn, wondering if there will be a point of differentiation between a 43X and a 19 or this 48... Considering the 43X seems a lot like a slightly slimmer 19.

This is supposed to be the real deal Glock 48. 

It is the length and height of a G19, width of a G43.

 

Additionally, looks like Victory Forst (Matt Jacques) is offering a long slide built by ATEi for the G43

Looks interesting... but serious question... is the G19 too thick for anyone as it is?

The whole appeal of Glocks are that the smaller frames are thin enough as it is for a double stack?

I can see the appeal of the 48 in ban states like NJ... but practically speaking... why? (besides "because we can")

Saving on weight?  Can't be that much.

[diamondd817 826]

I wonder if the 43x is the 48 or vice versa? I can't really see Glock introducing 2 10rd capacity single stacks that are different size frames. I do know people have been asking for a single stack G19 for a long time. I guess we will know by the end of January.

[PK90 3,570]

Looks like a Kahr.

[diamondd817 826]

G48 and 43x. I don't know if it's a photoshop, but it if is, it's a good one. Click on it.

Might be the same frame with different length slides?

Although I can do without the inox/np3/stainless type slide, I like them!

Would not be a fan of them in that color...

Would be nice to see the 43x in the same desert tan as the 19x and the 48 being in black.

Have not gotten any media info yet from Glock... suppose I can bug my contacts there.

 

[Gunnz 49]

I love the stainless look on a black frame. If it’s real, I will be a buyer!

[diamondd817 826]

If these are the real deal, I'm sure they will be available in all black also.

The 19X isn't.

Perfection, reached again.

Supposedly that is an official press photo.

I prefer the xds to the glock 43 and I already get more rounds in the mag plus I have the added grip safety which to me should be required on all ccw pistols.

that said, for ccw, the ones I think are top 3 are cz-p01, xds, and Sig

lol    just preference as we know from those that carry, its' the highest instance of accidental discharge.  I have the study somewhere on my computer. 

 

let me rephrase, I think it's smart but in true republican fashion, should not be mandated....better?

Even as a Glock hater... I would say I would still pick the Glock.  Light, cheap, disposable.

The XDS is certainly a nice gun but the trigger and shooting characterists are not as good as a Glock.  The Sig... depending on which one, but if we are talking about 229... is freaking heavy as hell... in that case would just carry a 1911.

I suppose a CZ P10C would be a good gun to compare to this or quite frankly a commander sized 1911 if you want safety features... in that case, tough to beat cocked and locked with a nice 1911 trigger. 

I am however excited about both of these guns and looking forward to putting it through its paces in a few weeks.

You have to admire Glock's marketing team. Add some front serrations, change a color, add an X to the random numbers they already have and viola you have a new gun. It's genius.

[SW9racer 262]

If the slide is the same and the front frame contour is the same as the base 43, should fit the existing holsters. Hopefully it’s only the grip that grows 4mm

no the p-01 is different.  It beat every handgun on the planet in reliability testing for nato.  You want to talk about a great handgun, not sure how anyone can claim it over the p-01 with it's reliance on reliability, parts compatibility across cz lines, and accuracy.  it's an uberweapon...oh and it's small!
