Glock, Glock, Glock, you own the market, and you know it. Glock\u2019s popular pistols dominate the law enforcement and concealed carry world, and heck, a vast number of military forces carry Gaston Glock\u2019s plastic fantastic. Glock\u2019s entry into the single stack world started years ago and continues to this day with the latest two guns, the G43X and the G48. Today we are taking a peek at the very irregular Glock 43X.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Glock 43 was a real winner for Glock and marked the first time they designed a single stack 9mm. Glock expanded on this concept, and I mean that both literally and figuratively. They expanded the single stack grip to accommodate a ten-round magazine rather than a six-round magazine. When they were released, I saw the point of the Glock 48<\/a>, and it was a single stack Glock 19 essentially.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The
A gun in the palm is better than one left in the safe<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Glock 43X left me perplexed in its design. It utilized the same barrel length as a Glock 43 but the grip length of a Glock 19. That\u2019s what drew me to the gun, and I needed to find out exactly why the G43X exists. So I got my hands on one and hit the ground running. Well, I guess I should say I hit the range running.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Glock 43X – First Impressions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Glock 43X looks odd and reminds me of that N-frame S&W 8 shot revolver. It\u2019s got a big grip but a stubby little barrel. We get a short slide with a 3.41-inch long barrel with an overall length of 6.05 inches. With an empty mag, the gun weighs a light 18.7 ounces. It\u2019s 5.04 inches tall, and the grip absolutely fills my hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I won\u2019t lie, it\u2019s quite comfy in hand. I hate a hanging pinky, and the Glock 43X doesn\u2019t leave my little digit ignored. However, it\u2019s no pocket pistol. Don\u2019t expect to shove this thing into a sticky holster in your pocket. It\u2019s too big for that, but not too big for a standard holster. At its widest, the gun is 1.10 inches wide, and it\u2019ll fit right into an IWB or AIWB holster naturally and comfortably.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The
The Glock 43X is a snub nose Glock<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

These single stack magazines hold ten rounds and fit flush inside the grip. I\u2019m not going to lie, and this isn\u2019t impressive to me. The SIG P365 is shorter and holds the same amount of rounds. However, the Shield S-15<\/a> magazines pack a punch with 15 rounds in a flush-fitting magazine. However, that\u2019s an aftermarket option and not something Glock came up with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, as you\u2019d expect, you get the same Glock sights Glock has always used. If I was going to change one thing on this gun, it\u2019s the sights. To hell with them! Why Glock clings to this idea of cheap plastic sights on combat pistols blows my mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the Range with the Glock 43X<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The gun comes with two magazines, and I loaded them up to capacity and hit the range. While I complain about the sights, they are functional on a square range. At 15 yards, I began practicing with some headshots from the low ready. That poor IPSC target didn\u2019t stand a chance, and he\u2019s now resigned himself to a short life of being a paper target. The sights are easy to see and track between shots, and scoring accurate hammer pairs made it fairly easy to engage the target rapidly at this range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The
The Glock 43X is seriously fun to shoot. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

After I warmed up, I began shooting one of my favorite drills, Dot torture. Dot Torture tests a wide variety of skills, including slow fire, one-handed shooting, drawing, reloading, and more. It gives you great training and is a great way to evaluate a firearm. I blasted my way through the Dot Torture target and shot it almost perfectly clean. My biggest weakness being one-handed shooting with my non-dominant hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I ran through Dot Torture and felt impressed with the Glock 43X. In the accuracy department, I had zero issues putting 9mm holes into those two-inch circles. The big grip made the gun very easy to control, and I\u2019ll admit the short barrel made the weapon well balanced for one-handed shooting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The
The big grip makes reloads intuitive <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Recoil is slightly snappy, but no more so than any other small firearm. The weapon was extremely comfortable to shoot due to that long grip and also easy to draw. The big grip made establishing a good, solid grip on the gun possible before I drew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Built For Comfort<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I committed several different drills with the Glock 43X. I ran four gongs in under five seconds, shot a decent failure to stop drill, and passed a 10-10-10 drill. Admittedly I just barely passed the 10-10-10 drill, but I passed, dang it! My hand never felt beat up, beat down, or tired. The gun never failed, faltered, or gave up on me either. It\u2019s got that Glock reliability we all know and love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The
Is 10 rounds enough for you? <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Over the next few hundred rounds, I came to a realization. This is a gun built for comfort. It\u2019s comfortable to shoot and easy to carry. From the smooth P80<\/a> style grip to the beavertail. The shorter barrel pokes and prods less than most and provides a weapon that\u2019s comfortable to carry. The Glock 43X\u2019s longer grips make it easier to control and less snappy than most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The
Tossing a new mag in is easy. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s all about comfort. In all honesty, it\u2019s a great option for new concealed carriers and those who are looking for a competent firearm that\u2019s just comfy. The shorter barrel ensures you can comfortably carry the weapon in any way you choose, including OWB. When carried outside the waistband, the shorter barrel keeps the weapon concealed, but the big grip makes it easy to grip, rip, and rock and roll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep The Gun Comfy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Glock 43X provides shooters with a compact, easy to carry, and easy to shoot firearm that also inhabits that famed Glock reliability. I started confused by why the gun exists, but now I get it. Why couldn\u2019t a concealed carry gun be focused on being comfortable and competent?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s exactly what the Glock 43X<\/a> accomplishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s admittedly not as impressively small and as competent as the Micro Compact firearms, but it\u2019s carved its place into the concealed carry world. What say you? Does the Glock 4A3X appeal to you? Let me know below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
