Glock 43x 10+1

https://www.gunsamerica.com/digest/rumor-mill-upcoming-glock-43x-with-101-capacity/

Just when I thought I was going to get a pps m2 as a new carry gun…

I still probably will get a pps.

Seems kind of silly. You’ll essentially have a grip length of a G19 but with a diminished capacity.

Lots of people said the 19x sounded silly but it and the 45 have worked out. I think we should wait and see what they came up with.

This is exciting! Hopefully this works out of the gate and puts the P365 to shame.

Are a lot of people concealed carrying the 19x? You could at least argue that the 19x wasn’t necessarily intended to be a CCW gun, but a longer g43? Just carry a g19…You’re right though, I’m sure people will buy them.

Glock is going to have to work hard to put the P365 I have to shame.

Thinner profile, though, right? Isn’t one of the objections to carrying a Glock the fact that it’s too fat?

I might actually warm up to one of these. After it’s beta-tested, of course.

He probably means it’ll work without issues once released.

But, sure, make a bigger gun with less capacity than a p365 (unless 12 round mags come out too). Have fun with that.

I guess it all depends on your body type. For me I find the end of the grip is usually what is visible on me.

Will appeal to those in ban states. Designed around a 10rnd mag, and a has 3 finger grip vs the 2 finger 26. Slimmer than a standard G19 with no “wasted” space, like a G19 with a neutered mag.

If it fits in a standard G43 holster that’s a bonus as well.

I carry a 43 sometimes, and when I do, it’s usually with an extended magazine. I imagine this will be about the same length. I think it’s cool, but not cool enough to replace my 43.

As a resident of a non-ban state, if I want a 10-round gun that’s smaller than a Glock 19, that’s what the Glock 26 is for. Plus it allows you to carry a larger double-stack spare magazine from a Glock 19 or 17, which a G43X won’t.

I’m anxious to see pics and range reports.

I’m willing to give it a chance before I become a hater.

Interesting! I have a Glock 43 and love it for conceal carry. I wonder what a side by side size comparison would look like.

As someone that is a Glock fan, but hates the Glock 43, I will give it a chance as well.

I have a scar on my hand from my old G43 rubbing my thumb knuckle while I was trying to break it in with several hundred rounds in one trip this year. I think the added length may help me in that regard.

That said, the P365 I rented is my favorite “single stack-ish” 9mm I have ever shot, with a much smaller sample size.

To add as well, the Recoil article that was being shown off had front serrations also. Not sure if it was photoshopped or legit.

nevermind. Found it.

That’s the one. I hadn’t seen the article, just the pictures floating around INstagram. So they are assuming it comes with forward serrations, not confirmed yet. Thanks for posting the article.

So, it’s a “Glocked” Shield? I have the G43, and sometimes wish I’d gotten the Shield.

Get the Shield then :slight_smile:

Been carrying the Shield since it came out.

The Geelock is a little late. Glock fans have been asking for a mid size single stack 9mm for a long time. So what did they do? they spit out the 42, then the 43. While Springfield were making the little XD and Smith were selling the Shield like hot cakes. Finally after seeing the Sig 365 becoming a success, Gaston caved in. Where were you 10 years ago Gaston? too busy with your new young woman?

I’m sure it will sell if the rumor is true and good luck to them. Glad their fans finally got what they’ve been demanding. Geelock lost me a long time ago. No, it wasn’t Ernest Langdon that turned me.

I’m going back … way back … back before all of these there was the 3913. Yeah, it’s heavier and it’s only 8+1, but yes it’s heavier and that means less recoil, faster follow up shot. A deliberate first shot DA is good and short/light SA after.

I was skeptical of the G19X and now I love it so I’ll give this one a chance too.
I shot Mistwolf’s Sig 365 and I don’t love it as much as he does.
