Pistols from the renowned Austrian armory Glock are renowned for their polymer frame, as well as their high quality, which has led many armed forces of various countries to use them professionally. Currently, Glock offers more than 50 models, including the Glock 43X Rail with a 9×19mm caliber, which is also available in our selection.
The short and slim design of this subcompact pistol is complemented by design elements (such as the extended slim frame) that the 43X model takes from the Glock 48. The balanced design suits hands of almost any size and features a magazine with a generous capacity of ten rounds. The weapon also allows for concealed carry (CCW).
The Glock 43X comes with a new surface treatment of the black slide nPVD Slide Coating (Physical Vapor Deposition). The front serrations (FS) improve the handling possibilities of the Glock pistol. Thanks to the serrations, you can easily perform a fast press check before and after shooting. An advantage of the Rail variant is also the mounting rail for easy attachment of a weapon light.
The frame under the beavertail is modified to provide the shooter with the deepest grip possible, thus improving the weapon's behavior during firing. This modification minimizes the rise of the weapon during a shot. The ergonomic features of the weapon also include a reduced trigger distance compared to other Glock models, with the grip angle being comparable to larger Glock pistols.
Additional features of this weapon include a durable yet lightweight polymer frame, which reduces perceived recoil due to the damping properties of the polymer. The pistol also includes standard Glock polymer sights at the front and rear, with the rear ones being reduced in size to better match the slim slide.
Key elements of the Glock 43X pistol include the barrel with innovations in the Glock Marksman Barrel rifling. Even with this barrel, the weapon manages to maintain a very slim profile – for instance, compared to one of the bestsellers, the Glock 19 Gen5 pistol, it is a full 4mm narrower.
Safety features of the pistol include, among other things, a fully functional slide stop lever, which halts the slide in the rear position after the last round in the magazine is fired. Most importantly, the so-called Safe Action System, which includes three safeties that are sequentially disengaged when the trigger is pulled and reengaged when it is released. Finally, there are also indicators for a loaded chamber and an empty magazine.
