Pistols from the renowned Austrian arms manufacturer Glock became famous primarily for their polymer frame, but also for the high quality that led many armed forces in various countries to use them in the professional sphere. Currently, Glock has more than 50 models in its range, and one of them is the Glock 43X caliber 9×19mm, which you can also find in our offer.
The short and thin design of this subcompact pistol perfectly matches its silver-colored slide, with some design elements, such as the extended slim frame, being borrowed from the Glock 48 model. The balanced design is suitable for hands of almost any size and features a generously sized magazine with a capacity for ten rounds. Additionally, the concept of the gun allows for concealed carry (CCW).
The Glock 43X comes with a new nPVD Slide Coating (Physical Vapor Deposition). The front serrations on the slide (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.
The frame under the weapon's beavertail is modified to provide the shooter with the deepest possible grip and thus improve weapon control during shooting. This modification minimizes muzzle rise during firing. The ergonomic properties of the weapon also include a reduced trigger distance compared to other Glock pistol models, with the grip angle being comparable to larger Glock pistols.
Other features of this weapon include a durable yet lightweight polymer frame, which, thanks to the damping properties of polymer, reduces perceived recoil. The pistol also includes standard Glock polymer sights front and rear, with the rear sights being reduced in size to better match the slim slide.
Key features of the Glock 43X include a barrel with innovations in the Glock Marksman Barrel rifling. Even with this barrel, the weapon manages to maintain a very slim profile – for example, compared to one of the bestsellers, the Glock 19 Gen5, the weapon is a full 4mm narrower.
The safety features of the pistol include, among other things, a fully functional slide stop lever that locks the slide in the rearward position after the last cartridge in the magazine is fired. And most importantly, the so-called Safe Action System, which includes three safeties that are gradually released when the trigger is pulled and reactivated upon its release. Lastly, there are also loaded chamber and empty magazine indicators.
