The G48 has become my favorite Glock. It calls to mind (dare I say it) my German P225. But in a lighter weight poly striker gun.

...Maybe Newtosig765 should have kept my sight pusher….might have saved me money.

Welcome to the weekly meeting of Glockaholics Anonymous!

I'm actually contemplating getting my own sight pusher after all, even though I don't really need it, but, just because...

You know, now that you mention it, I can totally see it.

The 48 is outstanding.

The problem (to me) is the people that hang a light, optic, Shield Arms magazines, metal mag releases, etc is that you really don’t gain anything over a 19. And the 19 still has better performance.

But……….

Iron sights or a dot alone, it’s awesome. Most of my weekly off duty training has been with a 48. I have been keeping a respectable hit factor with it compared to a compact or full sized gun.

(sigh) That darn Gen5 G17L keeps whispering at me. Daggummit Glock!

Part of what I like about the 48 is the fact that it’s a light weight, thin G19. I weighed it next to my PPS with 8 round mags and it’s like an oz lighter with 2 extra rounds, and a longer barrel/sight radius.

It fits a niche for me, and adding lots of extra weight throws it into other gun realms for me. I might throw an optic on it at some point but may not.

The only reason I would throw a light on it is if I am using it bedside in a capacity limited state, which I am sometimes in.

Had the G48 out again today. I do believe it has edged out the G45 as my favorite Glock.

It is a great compromise. 11 rounds in the gun and an RMR? 23 ounces. Fully loaded 19? 31 ounces. 19 with TLR7 and RMR? 37 ounces.

I have both the 19 and 23. I have tweaked them lightly with smooth PolyDat triggers, extended slide releases and actual metal night sights. And I do carry them if I travel to an area where I perceive the threat level to be increased. But for most everyday carry in the Yoop, the light flat 48 cant be beat. If I cant resolve the situation with 11 in the gun and a spare mag, its...Feet dont fail me now!
