[one_half]Editor’s note: When Jacob set out to test this XCaliber barrel, he ended up choosing some fat, slow rounds from Freedom Munitions. As I was posting this piece and adding links to Freedom, I noticed they’re having a Labor Day sale, and offering free shipping on orders over $99. We’ve been impressed with Freedom, especially their pricing on range ammo. So check out their sale.<\/em><\/p>\n

The GLOCK 43 with an XCaliber barrel and Freedom Munition’s subsonic 9mm.<\/p><\/div>\n

I have always appreciated the idea off a silent subcompact pistol. One of my first and favorite guns was a Walther PPK. I wanted a Silencer on the front. I wanted to be James Bond and wanted my carry gun to be as quiet as it was in the movies. Sadly, due to the mechanics of the PPK, this just wasn\u2019t possible. Nor was it economical.<\/p>\n

Years have passed and I have traded the iconic PPK for a more modern interpretation of the concealed carry pistol. For the last few years, I’ve typically carried a GLOCK 19 or a GLOCK 26. Now I find myself carrying the G43. It\u2019s light, thin, small and is unquestionably the PPK of 2015. But it still needs a threaded barrel if you want to run it suppressed.<\/p>\n
