Have any of you glocksuckers shot the LC9s as well? I find it fits my hand well, disappear IWB, and points better than the G43 for me.

Great size/package but shoots blah... bad recoil (vs others, though not as bad as LCP) and trigger is blah.

The G42 is in a separate class. You can drop it in your t-shirt pocket. You can't do that with any 9mms except the DB9.

Almost went for a G42, but found the LCP-2, it’s smaller than an iphone.

If the 43x takes the same holster as the 43, I will most likely get one.

Video review of the 43x just posted. The 48 is in the video also.

So far I'm not really feeling the 43x. The 48 on the other hand, really has my attention.

Was it taken down? I watched it quickly before, and wanted to watch it again. Nothing there.

Just watched the video, that grip is way too long for what I want.

Same frame, different slide?

Yes, they use the same frame and different length slides. I am assuming that the new G43x slide is the same exact slide as the regular G43, so I would be able to buy the G48 and put my 43 slide on it and have an 43x also.

[Gunnz 49]

Probably gonna get a 48.

1. I actually like the bitone look.

2. I have smallish hands and shoot smaller semi autos better than larger ones.

will be putting in for permits tomorrow.

Hmm, interesting!  I also now wonder if the 48 slide will run on the 43 frame.

I'm really interested in the 48, but I'm going to wait a little while to see if they produce it with the black slide.

I really like silver slide.

[Gunnz 49]

MSRP is $580 for either new model .

What was MSRP for original g43?

I would also prefer no front serrations. I really have no use for them as I never rack the slide from the front. Even if I wanted to rack it from the front, I don't need the serrations to do it. 

It should be optional.

Both the 48 and 43X should be the same prices as the 43, unless you are a "GottaHavEm" type guy.

[Gunnz 49]

What does a G43 go for $450?

On Instagram a Glock rep was telling everyone MSRP for g43X or g48 was $580.

Glock is advertising/marketing the 43x and 48 as their "Silver Slimline" series. I hope that doesn't mean  we will never see a "Black Slimline" series.

I’m sure they will roll it out in black as soon as sales taper off on the silver slide models.  

Glock and Pez have a similar business model.  Crank out some new variation on their molded plastic product, and wait for the collectors to snap them up.

Agreed and they will call them the "XB" Model. Which will be touted as a "must have", "what everyone's been asking for" LOL!  Like I said before, their marketing scheme is truly genius.

My wife is already calling it “ Glock Slim”

i don’t know where I went wrong with her
