Glock 43X and G48 side by side

Not to sure about the 2 tone but I need to get a pair of them. They do call the 43x a compact and not subcompact but if it's close it likely will give the 365 a run for it's money.

Thanks for sharing. I like both but disappointed they have that silver finish. I like black. I'm sure there is a joke in there somewhere. Maybe they will release it in traditional finish color later.

Same here. I’ve got a preorder in for the 43x as soon as my dealer gets his hands on one.

Not a fan of the front slide serrations but may end up with a 43X anyway.

Somebody released that video too soon – the link is no longer good…

same length grip as the 19 just thinner on the 43x. The 365 grip with the 12 round mag is shorter by about 1/2 inch then the 43X 10 round.

I don't like Glocks,but I carry a 33 or a 19 regularly. For some reason I really like the idea of the 43x. Even though it's 10 rounds, the width probably will make it great for carry.


Love my Sigs but carry my Glocks

...and I can't wait to get the 43 for cheaper!

Call me unimpressed. I have a Glock 19 and 43 and am not seeing a huge benefit to change for a minor grip advantage on a self defense, close range firearm. If you feel that 6 rounds is not enough, then you must think revolvers are obsolete. The SIG 365 still crams more ammo per inch of magazine. This is where Glock missed the mark in my view if they were going to modify the magazine.

I don’t think Glock missed squat. Much better and more comfortable grip, no that much bigger. Had a 365, got rid of it. Can’t wait for the G43x and 48. I am so in.

I’m super excited about both of these guns! Thanks for the vid, I had not seen that one yet.

More guns that don't make sense, like the 19X, UNTIL you get your hands on them and shoot them. These look ergonomic and will feel great in the hand. They will sell a ton.

I don't either. And I'm logged in to Full30. Have they been deleted?

They sorta pulled the links.

Friend texted me an embed link earlier - it still works:

Somebody had a working link in one of the comments. My guess is it’s embargoed until January 2nd.

Cliff notes. G43X is basically the Glock 45 of the G43. G48 is a single stack G19.

Both look almost ergonomic at least as far as Glocks go. Two tone finish is sharp.

G43X looks very controllable but basically has a G19 length grip.

G48 probably makes more sense as it has the same length grip with the additional barrel length for velocity.

No where near a P365 competitor. Honestly not really a competitor to something like a Walther PPS in my opinion as it’s more versatile for carry. Seems to be more P225ish type competition.
