Glock OFFICIALLY announced their new Glock G48 and Glock G43X which are the first in Glock’s Silver Slimline series of pistols geared towards the concealed carry market.

Similar to the already available Glock 43 model the single stack G48 offers a longer slide and higher ammunition capacity as the Glock 43X features the same barrel length as the original Gloc k 43 but offers a longer gripper and higher magazine capacity.

similar in the Glock 19X’s format.

Glock states“Carrying on with the design of the slimline series, the G43X and G48 create a perfect slim fit for a wide variety of hand sizes. The compact slimline frame combines a fuller size grip length with a minimal profile of approximately 1” for a comfortably balanced, versatile grip that’s perfect for a variety of users. While the width is similar to the G43, it is slightly wider to allow for increased round capacity therefore, the G43X and G48 magazines are not interchangeable with the G43.

The G43X and G48 feature the silver nPVD finish on the slide. This durable finish is a variation of what is found on the G19X, which has withstood rigorous military testing. The pistols feature a similar height as the G19 with a slimline width for increased concealability. Additionally, they feature front serrations, a comfortable built-in beavertail, reversible magazine catch and a match-grade GLOCK Marksman Barrel. Both models also come with 10-round capacity magazines featuring high”visibility orange followers.”
