I was going to say, $380-390 sounds high. I’ve seen the blue label from big LE sources for $368. Not sure on availability, though.
I bought an in-stock 48, regular sights, for $448 OTD, which seemed like a good price. Haven’t picked it up yet, but I hope to put some rounds through it this weekend. I didn’t really need it, but if it makes me more likely to carry it than not carrying my 19X, that’s a win.
Will the 48/43X mags fit in a 43?
The mags are not interchangeable. What one can do though is change frames or slides around though using the appropriate magazine. Son and I just got back shooting the 43, 48 and the 365. Shoots the 43/365 about the same but likes the 48 much more for shoot ability. I have a nice holster on the way for the 48, need to get a mag pouch also. For info, at 275 round count on the 48, no issues, zero malfunctions and have shot 115 Speer ball and 124+p Gold Dots.
I was at 421/22 out on mine as it was easier to go in with cash and not pad the account and order. Looking at the Ameriglo sights.

Just some quick dimensions using a tape(grip), may be off 1/32" either way. Measured trigger reach from the backstop to the trigger’s center, trigger safety compressed on Glocks(caliper). Grip measured following the grip angle around just under the trigger guard and at the bottom. The measurement at the bottom is increased with the “hump” but so close under the trigger guard.

Don’t lose her! 
Yeah, she’s a keeper!
Blue Label with plastic sights is $358. OTD w/taxes is $388 in TX (8.25%)
I hope it sells well. I looks like a cool gun. Just other higher priorities for me at this time.

I like the G43 because it’s tiny and slim for situations where my G17/19 won’t fit my attire. A 43X doesn’t appeal to me because I can just get mag extensions for my 43. A 48? I don’t see the use in MY personal lifestyle for it, but I’m sure it will fit someone’s.
So I shot a 48…
It really is a Glock SW Model 39.
I actually like it more than a G19 for CCW. No interest in the 43x whatsoever on my end.
Really G34 is my bae but really my G19 may get relegated to a hunting gun now.
It’s so pointy. Point click point click. Maybe we won’t see a .45 Glock 1911. But this is like a 9mm Glock 1911 in terms of grippiness and pointiness.
I have a hand longer than most of your black tall NBA stars save for maaaaybe Shaq and I thought it would hold me back but NO! It makes it better.
Like I am not on acid or K holing but like… I appreciate this more as a man than I would if I were a girl. Although if I were a girl I would be happier because all I’d need is this, a Retro CAR-15, and maybe a 1911 in 9mm. Then I could just live my life free from my pile of shame.
I dunno… I’d be replacing Knights Armament with Louis Vuitton. I would be soooo unapproachable.
The tallest I’d be is 5’9” so I can still be somewhat imposing and beat a man’s ass but still be able to be sorta diminutive only for the most superior of mates.
I never thought that 30 minutes with a single stack 9mm Glock would give me all this liberty to just open up but yes…I approve of these pistols
LOL!!!
Glock 19 for a true SHTF scenario. It’s what I’d snatch along with my “grab-and-go” AR. No doubt about it. Wouldn’t even have to mull it over.
But for CCW in “civilized” times? The Glock 48 struck a chord with me. Just sayin’…
Not trying to convince you one way or the other on the 43x because you’re entitled to your preferences, but I also have a 43 that I’ve shot a lot. Comparing the two, mag/grip extension on the 43 is not the same as the 43x grip. Night and day difference. Quite surprising actually.

I have 0 interest in a 43x, and since I mostly don’t bother with CCW anymore, the 48 is only just slightly interesting.
Dunno, though. Since the gettin’ is still good, it might be worth looking into tossing one on the pile for the inevitable 10-round-limit future.
Damn, Fly…did you just chill with it and share a cigarette after your range session, or did you kick it to the curb with a wink and tip of your hat. LOL! :no:
The G48 as a 9mm 1911 is an apt comparison. I actually was looking at a Norinco 1911 at the same time as as the 48 and couldn’t help but feel like the profile was similar.
That was a secondary thought for me, as well, as long as I’m trapped in my hellhole state.
I’ve thought about the whole 10 round thing but then my state decided that they are going to try and pass a 5 round limit with no grandfather. I think I’ll see how this all washes out before I buy anything else.
I live in a “free” state (per se) so mag capacity isn’t an issue. I just like the fact that you can get full-sized gun ballistics with a very carry-able platform. Yeah, a SIG P365 has 10 rounds and is more compact but it doesn’t have a 4.18" barrel either.
That said, the P365 is absolutely next on my list! 
Damn, and I thought my pre-lock 686+ was future proof.
Maybe they’ll allow subjects in OR to fill in a couple of cylinder holes with lead to get down to 5 rounds…
I hear the 43x and 48 use the same frame and are wider than the 43? How much more narrow does it actually feel in the hand?

To me it feels like a full-sized 43 (obviously subjective).
I’m not too worried. Even if it gets passed it will hit the courts fast. The law as written already doesn’t survive the Heller decision. The law bans entire categories of commonly used firearms. Not only is the magazine limited to 5 rounds but guns capable of accepting larger magazines are banned. It would also limit you to 20 rounds of ammo a month. I can’t think of a single other law that rations how much of anything you can buy. Supposedly the law was written by high school students and the state rep didnt make any changes because he wanted them to feel a part of the process. He also stated that he didn’t review what they wrote for constitutionality. The left is swinging for the fences but all they really are accomplishing is showing their true hand.
