Glock 43X: Single Stack Perfection

The Glock 43X is a single stack 9mm pistol that takes the best qualities of the Glock 43 and makes them better.

It is thin like the 43, at just 1.1 inches wide, with the same length slide, at 6.06 inches. However, whereas the 43 held seven rounds, with six in the magazine and one in the chamber, the 43X holds 11 rounds, with ten in the magazine and one in the chamber.

The chief difference between the pistols is the longer grip on the 43X. This gives the 43X a height of 5.04 inches whereas the height of the 43 was 4.25 inches.

The @glockinc 43X. The single-stack sequel to the model 43. Immediate differences between the 43X and its predecessor? The 43X holds 10+1 (versus 6+1). And the 43X has serrations near the front of the slide, whereas the 43 has serrations on the rear-most portion of slide only. The 43X is slightly over 5” tall, whereas the 43 is 4.25 inches. @wearebreitbart @weaponoutfitters @glockfanatics @glockedc @cabelas @sportsmans_warehouse @gunnerationx @millennial_republicans @sebastian_gorka @thenssf @shotshow #breitbart #awrhawkins #glock #glockfanatics #glockfan #glock43x #selfdefense #ccw #concealedcarry #secondamendment #2ndamendment #opencarry

In addition to being super compact, the 43X is incredibly accurate. And because it is a Glock, it goes ‘boom’ every time you pull the trigger.

All these things come together to make the Glock 43X a no brainer for concealed and open carry. It is truly single stack perfection.

My opinion—> @glock.inc 43X could be best compact Glock ever. Certainly the best single stack. @weapons.addict @nationalrifleassociation @shotshow @millennial_republicans @red.pill.republic @gunownersofamerica @georgia_carry @warriorcode.us @cabelas @bassproshops @sportsmans_warehouse @sebastian_gorka @glockfanatics @glockstore #awrhawkins #2ndamendment #ccw #opencarry #secondamendment #selfdefense #9mmpistol #9mmpistols #armed #ishootback
