Glock 43X, a 10 rd 43
https://www.recoilweb.com/gloc...x-pistol-144330.html


“Back in 2015 Glock released their much-anticipated single-stack G43. Glock’s latest addition, following newer releases like their Gen5, 19X, and G45 is likely slated for a SHOT Show 2019 premiere. We’re told the G43X a higher capacity version of its single-stack G43.

According to dimensions leaked to RECOIL by a third party with ties to Glock’s Austrian headquarters, compared to the dimensions of the G43, the G43X grip is “4mm wider and 15mm longer than a G43” to accommodate its new ten-round magazine.

We took the liberty of doing some Photoshop mock-ups based on the information we had on hand. The forward serrations are just a guess on our part.”



My question is, with the size increase over a regular 43, wouldn’t a 26 be a better fit?”

My 43 mags are all 8 shot with extensions. The reason a 365 appeals to me is the smaller size.

It certainly goes against the grain moving to a slightly larger platform rather than a smaller one.

Albeit slightly, but still...

4mm wider and 15mm longer gets it awfully close to Glock 19 dimensions, with 5 rounds less capacity. And likely the magazines won't work with the 43,

Sounds like Glock is doing a semi staggered mag to compete with the S&W Shield and the P365.
