That variation primarily boils down to the weight of the G43X’s four additional rounds. The weight of the G43 with a loaded magazine is 20.6 ounces, and the G43X weighs just over 23 ounces. Both come with 3.41-inch barrels, and both are between 1.06 and 1.10-inches wide. It is impressive that Glock has found a way to stuff four additional rounds in a magazine that is not all that much longer than the one found in the original G43.Īside from magazine and grip length, the G43 and G43X share similar dimensions. It is not a double stack, but the cartridges occupy alternating positions toward the left and right side of the magazine to maximize space. Unlike the G43, the G43X uses a semi-staggered magazine. This new, higher-capacity version of the G43 was dubbed the G43X. 75 inches to the G43’s magazine and grip, increasing capacity of 10 rounds. The company accomplished that by adding just. To compete against subcompact semiautos with double-digit capacities, Glock would have to find a way to increase capacity. However, the original G43 only held six rounds. When the G43 was released, it was one of Glock’s Slimline models, which kept overall width under and inch to aid with concealment. The design for the G43 (which predates the G43X) is Glock’s forty-third patent, for example. Instead, the number assigned to each gun corresponds with Gaston Glock’s patent for that particular model. The Glock G43X utilizes the same alpha/numerical naming system that the company has utilized since its inception, which has nothing to do with caliber. First Lookįirst, a lesson on Glock history and terminology. So, how do Glock pistols compete in the crowded field of compact carry guns? Let’s look at one of the brand’s newest and most popular pistols, the G43X MOS, to see how it stacks up against today’s toughest competitors. The Austrian company no longer claimed sole possession of the striker-fired pistol market. Over time, brands like Springfield Armory, SIG Sauer, Ruger, and Smith & Wesson developed guns to compete with Glock. The overwhelming success of Glock’s pistol designs led other firearms manufacturers to release their own polymer-framed, striker-fired guns. Law enforcement agencies quickly adopted Glock pistols because they are affordable and extremely durable, and soon Glock began to dominate the concealed-carry market as well. The G43 comes with 2 ultrareliable single-stack magazines.Gaston Glock deserves credit for introducing the polymer-framed, striker-fired pistol, and despite some initial misgivings about “plastic” guns, Glock pistols have proven to be reliable and accurate. The G43X MOS Semi-Auto Pistol is a reliable, easy to maintain firearm that's perfect for everyday carry. The length, shape, finger rest, and size of the trigger opening are the same as the larger pistols, and the trigger is the same size, making them all familiar to those who already use Glock pistols. The white-dot front sight and the white-bracket rear sight provide rapid acquisition in dim-lighting situations. The textured polymer grip provides a solid hold, and while the G43X MOS is quite concealable, the grip offers shooters enough surface area for ultimate control.
The Safe-Action trigger system makes shooting in stressed situations infallible. Internally, the G43X employs the same striker fired, short-recoil operated, and locked-breech barrel as the larger-framed Glock pistols. Made with the same materials and quality control as all Glock semi-automatic pistols, the G43X is a carry gun with the power of a 9mm field gun that you can count on for survival. Coming in with a slide matching the dimensions of the G43, the G43X features a slightly-larger frame that accommodates a larger round capacity and can fit larger hands more comfortably. The Glock® G43X MOS Optics-Ready Semi-Auto Pistol utilizes a single-stacked magazine in 9mm to make it slim and compact, specifically for concealed carry use.
