In short:
- The Glock 43 is an unbelievably concealable pistol but may be too small or lean on features for some.
- The Glock 48 ups the features and size, but isn’t as concealable nor as shootable as the G43.
- The Glock 43X, which shares a frame with the G48 but with a shorter slide, is a solid compromise.
There’s a good chance you or someone you know owns a Glock. For nearly 40 years, the company has been manufacturing high-quality, reliable handguns. What started as service pistols for the military and law enforcement community has expanded into concealed carry guns for civilians.
Today we will compare two Glock pistols designed for carrying concealed — the G48 and G43 — to help you determine if one might be the right Glock pistol for you.
