Description

Product Overview

The Glock 43X 9mm 10rd 3.41″ Pistol with Black/Silver PVD Finish (Model: PX435SL201) represents a significant evolution in the concealed carry market. Designed for the everyday carrier, law enforcement professional, or home defender seeking a balance of capacity, concealability, and shootability, this pistol bridges the gap between subcompact and compact frames. Its primary use is as a highly effective and reliable concealed carry weapon (CCW), though its manageable size also makes it a suitable option for home defense and recreational shooting. The Glock 43X merges the slim, short slide of the popular G43 with the extended, yet still remarkably slim, frame of the G48, creating a uniquely balanced handgun that fits a wide range of hand sizes without sacrificing performance.

Key Features

• Optimized Slimline Frame: The frame maintains Glock’s renowned reliability in a profile that is over 1/4 inch slimmer than a standard double-stack Glock. This design drastically reduces printing for concealed carry and provides a more secure, comfortable grip for shooters with smaller hands.
• Enhanced 10-Round Capacity: Utilizing the innovative slimline “01” magazines, the G43X delivers a substantial 10+1 round capacity in 9mm. This is a notable increase over many traditional single-stack subcompacts, offering a significant tactical advantage without adding bulk.
• Distinctive Black/Silver PVD Finish: The slide features a durable Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) coating in a two-tone black and silver scheme. This is not merely cosmetic; PVD provides exceptional hardness and corrosion resistance, ensuring the pistol maintains its appearance and function under rigorous use.
• Balanced Dimensions: With a 3.41-inch barrel and an overall unloaded weight of just 16.4 ounces, the G43X strikes an ideal balance. The weight mitigates felt recoil compared to lighter pistols, while the compact dimensions ensure all-day carry comfort and easy concealment.
• Fixed Glock Sights: The pistol is equipped with standard Glock fixed sights, offering a clear, durable sight picture that is ready for immediate use. Their low-profile design prevents snagging during the draw, a critical factor for a dedicated carry gun.
• Glock Safe Action System: At its core, the G43X incorporates the time-tested, internally safe trigger system trusted by militaries and law enforcement agencies worldwide. It provides a consistent trigger pull and built-in safeties for secure carry.

Performance & Applications

Everyday Concealed Carry: The Glock 43X is engineered for this specific role. Its slim profile makes it disappear under light clothing, while the extended grip frame allows for a full, confident firing grip. The 10-round capacity provides ample rounds for most defensive scenarios, and the 9mm chambering offers a wide selection of effective defensive ammunition. For the citizen seeking a no-compromise daily carry pistol, the G43X is a top-tier choice.

Backup or Off-Duty Law Enforcement: The reliability synonymous with the Glock name makes the 43X an excellent choice for law enforcement officers seeking a concealable backup or off-duty weapon. Its manual of arms is identical to full-size duty Glocks, promoting seamless transition and muscle memory retention under stress. The increased capacity over traditional backup guns is a tangible operational benefit.

Recreational and Training Use: While designed for defense, the G43X’s shootability makes it an enjoyable range pistol. Its manageable recoil and ergonomic grip facilitate longer practice sessions, which are essential for proficiency. Shooters can effectively use it for fundamental marksmanship drills and defensive shooting practice, making training with their carry gun both practical and productive.
