The Glock 43 pistol in 9×19 caliber is the smallest model from the legendary Austrian manufacturer. Due to its compact size, it is suitable for concealed carry. It is typically delivered with a set that includes one magazine for 6 cartridges and another with a capacity extension of the same size.
The popular Glock G43 in 9mm Luger caliber is an exceedingly compact and accurate pistol. It offers excellent parameters for all shooters regardless of hand size. The grip has an ergonomic design that allows the user to achieve a high and firm grasp.
Three automatic, independently operating mechanical safeties are built into the firing system. All three safeties are sequentially deactivated by pulling the trigger. They automatically re-engage once the trigger is released.
A visible and tactile loaded chamber indicator is located on the extractor. The functional slide stop lever holds the slide open after the last round is fired from the magazine.
The slide and barrel surfaces have a black anti-reflective finish. All metal parts of the weapon undergo surface treatment, making them resistant to corrosion and saltwater effects. The durable polymer frame makes the pistol lightweight. The cushioning properties of the polymer effectively absorb recoil and shocks. The slim G43, designed to superlative standards, undergoes the same rigorous testing as its larger siblings in the Glock pistol family.
The subtle texture on the grip improves adhesion without being overly aggressive. The magazine release is ambidextrous and enlarged towards the back of the pistol, making it easy for both left-handed and right-handed users to operate.
The trigger distance is shorter compared to other GLOCK models. However, the grip angle is equivalent to that of larger pistols. The dimensions of the standard sight have been reduced to fit into the slim slide. The polygonal barrel is easy to clean, and its better bullet seating increases projectile velocity.
The magazine has a single-stack design to minimize its dimensions, and its metal insert is covered with a polymer coating. A magazine with a capacity extension is also available to ensure a more secure grip and better ergonomics.
