Glock 43X Design and Features
- The Glock 43X blends features from Glock's compact and slimline series, designed for optimal concealability while providing good handling.
- Slim Frame: The frame is designed for concealed carry, with a slimmer profile (1.1 inches wide) to comfortably fit inside the waistband.
- Ergonomics: The grip on the Glock 43X is longer than that of the Glock 43, providing better control and a more comfortable feel, especially for those with larger hands.
- Front Slide Serrations: This aids in manipulating the slide, allowing for easier press checks or slide racking.
- Standard Iron Sights: Glock's standard fixed sights can be replaced with aftermarket options, like night sights or fiber optics, for improved accuracy in low-light conditions.
Glock 43X MOS (Modular Optic System)
- The MOS version features an optics-ready slide with mounting cuts specifically for micro red-dot sights.
- It’s compatible with sights like the Shield RMSc or Holosun 507K, popular choices for compact pistols.
- The MOS model also has a built-in rail for mounting a flashlight or laser, something the regular 43X lacks. This makes the MOS model slightly more versatile for tactical or home defense setups.
Magazine Options for the Glock 43X
- Stock Magazine: The Glock 43X comes standard with two 10-round magazines. These magazines are slim single-stack models designed to maintain a slim overall profile.
- Aftermarket Magazines:
- The Shield Arms S15 magazine increases capacity to 15 rounds while maintaining the slimness of the stock magazines. These are made of metal, as opposed to Glock’s polymer ones, and may require the use of an aluminum or metal magazine release to avoid wear and tear.
- Glock also offers +2 magazine extensions, which can increase the standard 10-round mag to 12 rounds without significantly affecting the gun's profile.
