I didn't think the 43X made a whole lot of sense by itself (narrow market), however, releasing both of these at the same time as they share the same frame and magazines makes a lot of sense! Now Glock has a robust single stack 9mm line from sub-compact to medium for ban-Staters or just those who like single stacks. I don't carry Glocks, but do have a P6 and a Kahr K9 among my carry guns so I'm a fan of 9mm single stacks. | |||

I will be buying a G48, my wife likes my cut down G17 and I think it would be great for her. | |||

I often carry my G-43 with the Pearce +1 extensions, making it 7+1. I was hoping the new 10rd mags would fit the old 43, but this video shows the new mags are wider. https://www.full30.com/embed/MDE4NDkz Thanks again to whoever first posted it a few pages ago. Here's a short review: https://www.policeone.com/shot...usr_PBqhONMMalEaqXTe | |||

I think I'll pass on both. Don't get me wrong, I own several Glock's, but my P365 is softer shooting and more accurate than my G43 was. And as for the G48, I'd carry a 1911 in 9mm. Just not for me. Go for it if you are so inclined. ******************************************** "On the other side of fear you will always find freedom" | |||

The 43x is noticeably larger than the 43, it's not like it's slightly larger. So it will be quite a bit bigger than the p365. Seems like Glock is basically making their versions of the P225 and P239... | |||

I may like it. The 365/G43/lc9 feel just a bit small. I’m hoping it slots in between the 19/26 and the 43. ----------------------------------------------------------- TCB all the time... | |||

^^^^^^ I couldn’t have said it better myself! I have said many times that Glocks don’t fit me and are uncomfortable to shoot in their stock form. But I will seriously consider these pistols and pay to have them altered to fit me. As for ten round states; California will not accept new guns that will not micro-stamp a serial number onto a bullet and it’s casing, so the largest 10 round state is out.

These makes sense for 2A shitholes like NYS. Why have the overhead of a double stack design, when all that is permitted is 10 rounds? Being from NYS, This is why I lean towards .45ACP. Of them both, I could see owning the G43X... Glock double entendre “X” as well as Roman numeral for 10. | |||

I don't think that was intentional. They're following the same nomenclature as the previously released G19X, which has the barrel length of a G19 with a longer grip and greater capacity. Similarly, the G43X has the barrel length of a G43 with a longer grip and greater capacity. And the G19X holds 17, not 10. But then, G19XVII doesn't roll off the tongue very well...  Glock calls them "X" models, while Sig denotes theirs as "Carry" models. Same concept. Shorter slide combined with longer grip. | |||

I didn’t realize some stores had them on site already. Does your dealer have a special connection, or are they starting to arrive at regular dealers already? | |||

Glock Distributor that received 20 of them in December and is now showing them to be delivered as authorized by Glock 01/22/19. | |||

If they G48 doesn’t make any sense to you, look at Canadian Firearm laws. Then it will make perfect sense, in addition to being applicable to CCW use in the US and in Commie States. | |||

10 round magazines are available right now for the G43. I have some. I don't carry them, as a rule; they're too long and bulky. They work fine, but it's a bit much. With a +1 pearce baseplate on the standard Glock mags, it's already got a capacity of seven plus one in the chamber. That's as good as a 1911, but smaller, thinner, more reliable, works from a pocket. I'll look at the other models, but just don't see the need. This thread has given me a hankering to carry the G36, though. Maybe tomorrow. | |||

We'll have to see how many broken firing pins and dead triggers are reported for the Glocks before that can be decided. | |||

If SIG can iron out the reliability/durability issues and the magazine design proves to be robust over the long term then the P365 is sort of a paradigm shift. The only real way for another to play catch up to it is to start, as SIG did, from the magazine up. Glock will never be able to get a mag that small simply because of the plastic outer shell.(Glock magazine are however AWESOME, in general). I would expect you will see some P365 competition come 2020 SHOT Show. "Guns are tools. The only weapon ever created was man." | |||

How do you figure that, considering the abhorrent reputation of the P365? | |||
