Apparently the 43X & 43 use slides that are identical...which *should* mean that when my 48 arrives, I can swap out the slide from my 43, and make a franken43x, AND a longslide 43!!
But seriously, I'm hoping that the 48 is a test platform for a similar pistol in .357sig or .45. I'd buy & carry a single stack commander sized .45 glock in a heartbeat!Last edited by PJD642; 4 January 2019 at 19:36.

I'm hoping they offer the Stainless slides in other models.

Just dont show this to my wife. She had a gleem in her eye when she held the 43x but said, "If it only had a black slide"...

I thought it was generally men hiding their gun purchases from their wives... not the other way around.

There's sufficient room in the 43X/48 magwell that a CZ75 compact mag will fit and work with slight mods, apparently. More importantly though, there's a 15-round flush fit metal mag being developed for the 43X/48!

I visited these two models at the local shop and they seem to be pretty ok contenders for an EDC gun.
I kind.of was thinking about one or the other for that purpose but I waited because they at the time only had them in the two tone.
I might have to revisit these again.

I came close to getting a 48 but ultimately decided it sits in a weird space that is probably really only interesting for folks who live in states with 10-round mag limits, in which case it's probably a better pick than the G19. But even then, there really isn't a significant advantage over the 43X, IMO.

I went with the 43 and 43X because the 48 is basically the size of a Glock 19, only slightly slimmer. If I'm going to carry a 48, I might as well carry a 19. I'm sure the 48 works for some people and their body types for CCW.

On paper these isn't much difference between the 19 & 48 as far as dimensions. But as somebody who has smaller hands (size 10 gloves, usually), the 48 is awesome. It's like a commander sized 1911 if made by Glock - flat, points nicely, etc. It just FEELS a lot better to me.
