Threw out a low bid on one on gunbroker and damned if I didn't win. Not sure what I'll do with it but the 43x is a good shooter so this one should be even better.

Sweet. I’m slowly coming around on these. I took my 43’s +2 mag into a shop to compare to a 43x/48 grip and damn if it wasn’t longer than the Slimlines.

What was the bid that one you the gun if you don’t mind me asking?

I couldn’t believe it. A guy came in with a G43X with less than a box through it. Trijicons installed & I liked it more than I thought I would. I laid it away and will pick it up next week. Now for extra mags..

I said 10 years ago GLOCK should make a single stack g19 with at least a 10 round mag. They would sell a ton. They finally did it.

The G48 was substantially that I handled was definitely smaller than a G19.

The grip length is about the same as a G43 with a finger rest baseplate on the mag (Pearce +0 or +1), and the G48 slide and barrel just a bit longer. The 43X isn't substantially larger than the 43. The 48 isn't substantially larger than either one, and I can certainly see a place for something like the 48 for inside the waistband.

For now the G43 is a great extra in the pocket, easy to draw, easy to shoot, thinner than a j-frame, quicker to reload, with a slightly higher capacity, so no need for me for the G43X...but the G48 does attract.

There is no practical difference between the 43x and 48. They are both belt guns. The 43 is pocketable so it is really in a separate category.
