New Glocks prior to SHOT -- G43X, G48, and G44?

[JBP55]

The owner of a Glock Blue Label Distributor told me Glock will have something new at S H OT but he signed an NDA and can not discuss it before S H O T.

My guess is a 10 shot, single stack 9mm that will make CCWers rejoice!:cool:

G45 MOS would be an easy one.

Gen 5 G22 would also be easy as they are already selling them to the Brazilian cops.

Unless they live in NY, NJ, CA, or those poor bastards in MA who can’t even buy new Glocks.

Given the fact that glock cannot produce a reliable 10 round magazine for anything other than the G26, a G19 sized single stack based on longer G43 mags is a reasonable idea.

"This Glock 43 would be so much better if it had a longer barrel and held four more rounds!," said...tens of thousands of CCW'ers

At which point it's a low-cap G19.

To be fair, I thought the G19X/G45 size was dumb too, so clearly I have my finger on the pulse of the market. :D

We don't know what the Glock 44 is. It might not even be a gun, but odds are it is. There is a market for a thin, single stack 9mm for those who want a slimmer gun for concealed carry, and in those states that are limited in magazine capacity. So imagine a G43 that is scaled up in barrel and grip length. I don't think they'll release a G45MOS until 2020. They want to sell the current version for a year the same way they sold the G42 in .380 for year and then introduced the G43 in 9mm...which a lot of G42 purchasers had wanted in the first place.

I would also like to see one of the Polymer80 frames with a Glock 17 grip length to fit the Glock 19 slide, i.e. a Gen3 style G19x or G45. That combo doesn't interest me a lot except that I have a G19 slide with an RMR and compensator. Overall length is a shade (RCH) less than a G34 and I'd actually like it better with a longer grip. That has nothing to do with anything Glock is likely to release, but hey, it would be nice.

[Chance]

Rumors are a ten round G43X and a single-stack G19.

[shakazulu12]

I had all but settled on a 19.5 MOS and a 45 for the two GSSF certs I need to burn. Maybe worth waiting a few weeks just in case. There had been posts on some Glock forums mentioning the same rumors for a couple weeks now. It could simply be another combination of parts to make another sub-model as well though.

[Polecat]

I think if you made the 43 grip the length of say vickers +2 and widend it just a tad, you could get 10 in there. I would buy both a thin 19 and a G43 with more capacity. Even if the G43 was a bit wider, it is small front to back and the overall grip would still be nice.

SIG makes that, it’s called a P365.

Single stack 19 would be interesting IF they have enough pixie dust to make a reliable magazine.....

How about a workable 10 rd magazine for something other than a G26.

S&W was doing this with the shield before the G43. If they could make it work with their hybrid polymer/metal lined mags they would have done it in the 42/43. Not gonna happen.

A difference without much distinction, between the two, no?

That said, a G43 with a longer grip and even 2-3 more rounds in the stock magzine, as well as 3/4" more barrell and sight radius would be great fun.

The latest version passed our agency testing and is now an approvedoff duty / BUG option.

No idea how many tweets and revisions it took to get there but that just reinforces the “don’t be a beta tester” mantra.

I hope it's a longer/taller G43 rather than Glock trying to work magazine magic to compete with the 365 and creating a two year bug fix period.

Ug...i really dont want to go back to the Gen4 roll out days where they would hint at coolness and new guns and then, "oh look a Gen4 version of an old model...hooray." please let it be a newer concept for Glock ala the G45.

[ubervic]

Extraordinarily much ado about nothing, as nothing has been seen or shared yet. :)

And yet, I'll throw my hat into the proverbial ring, expressing publicly my hope for an official G17k, which I would purchase sight unseen.

In fairness to Glock, the Gen 5 G22 they made for the Brazilians is actually something New. A Gen 5 17/22 frame with a heavier / wider G37/45 GAP slide but a .40 barrel and breachface.

This is what many knowledgeable gun people said the Glock 40 caliber guns should have been in the first place.

California is stuck with existing Gen 3 models too, since those are the only ones on the list. It's a big reason why Glock is still making Gen 3 9mm's. So a new single-stack 10-round gun won't do much for them.

[El Cid]

One of the new guns will be a single stack G19 sized pistol in .380.

Odds are it's nothing too cool like existing models in gen 5 or with the MOS system or something. Would be cool to see a 17 slide on a 19 frame.

I'm betting they'll release some Gen5 17 and 19 pistols with front slide serrations.

Hell, if they did Gxx.5 in everything I might actually buy a few. As it is all I need Glocks for are GSSF matches which severely limits their sales to me.

Seriously, it blows my mind that Glock has never figured out a way to do removable backstrap pieces for the lower part of the grip - humped, straight, flat, curved, extra humped, whatever. They've literally got a big dead space hanging out there, plenty of room for whatever attachment method they need.

[olstyn]

That's precisely how I formed my opinion...

I sure hope whatever Glock rolls out is nowhere near the trainwreck that the 365 was/is/might be, might not be.

My only personal experience with a 365 is just 2 days ago watching one choke hard in a match. Shooter engaged the 1st 3 targets of a 12-target stage and then the gun just stopped. He stood there trying to get it going again for quite a while and then gave up. Obviously a tiny sample size, and maybe not representative of the model as a whole, but not exactly confidence inspiring...

I will not hold my breath however.

I trained a chimpanzee to swing over the G30.4 production line and steal a frame then run over and put a 30s slide on it so they wouldn't have to have a special production line. Was going to give him to them free. They said, "Nein, vee haff no inter-species restrooms."

So, no 30s. Gen4 for you or I.

[Super77]

My guess is a 10 shot, single stack 9mm that will make CCWers rejoice!:cool:

[Jim Watson]

17 degree grip angle.

[GAP]

The only thing that would cause me to purchase a different carry gun than a G26, would be a single-stack G19 with 10+ rounds. Sadly, it’ll probably be just another mix-and-match (slide/frame) 9mm or a full lineup of .40 caliber Gen 5’s.

[Glenn E. Meyer]

How about a 410/45 LC Glock? Might have a grip problem, though?

Who am I to judge?

I would like the 10 shot 9mm, signal stack thinner gun. I also though a G36 with more rounds, a better grip and mags without that honker base plate would be attractive.

How about a 10 shot, longer barrel G42 for the recoil limited folks? So far not me. Shot about 100 45 ACP 230 grs this weekend and my hand still functions. But I could be there.

Without finally ditching the polymer mags, I don't see how Glock could get too many more rounds into the G43 grip without making it very long...

I honestly don’t know how SIG did it, but the 365 is MUCH easier for me to shoot than you would guess from the size. As in better than a G26 for sure. I also find the recoil less. I know this is all subjective but it’s a common theme with my buddies.

I trust Glock more than SIG, but the both the G42 and G43 has teething issues also.

Guess we are just going to have to wait and see what we get at SHOT. A 10 round slim G19 would be VERY useful for me.

I'm actually hoping for this. I'm pretty dedicated to going all-in on Glocks, and a solidly set-up Gen. 5 .40 would fill the last need/want slot on my list. The Gen. 4 22 isn't a bad option, but the Gen. 5 guts and heavier slide would make the 22 a really good option.

I'd also like to see the 19s standardized with no frame cut-out. I'm one of the lucky few that it doesn't bother so it's not a huge deal, but I think it's better without.

So to sum up: I'd like two things that already exist in some form in the wild. Hopefully it's like the song says: If you don't expect that much from me, I might not let you down...

Well, if Glock disappoints, there are G37 45 GAP police trades on the market right now and ATI is making a 45 GAP to 40 SW conversion barrel. Last I saw both were availible from Sportsman’s guide.

I am actually hoping for a non-MOS G34 g5 personally.

Other g5 things I'd be interested in...
-G24
-G35
-G40 (highly unlikely)
-a somehow thinner G26
-a slightly taller G43 OR a factory 7 round G43 mag

[Old Man Winter]

My wishlist would include:


Gen5 19 minus the grip cut out, no MOS.
Gen5 17 top end / 19 lower without grip cut out.

A single stack pistol chambered in 45 auto with a 4 inch barrel. The grip would not have finger groves or a cut out and would be slightly shorter than the G19 grip. The same gun in 9mm. The mag baseplate will be similar to a G17, G19- it will not be designed for the pinkie to be placed on it (it will not be like the G30). The backstrap will not have a pronounced arch or hump. It can have a slight arch.

A 42 or 43 sized .22 would be a lot of fun and I would be down for one.

Our school department ditched SW Model 19s for Glocks. I asked an officer is that a Glock 22. He got all pissy and said: That's a Forty!

Why is the SW 327 in 357? A guy heard I had a 327 revolver and wanted to buy it. I had to tell him it was a 327 Mag (a SW 632). He wanted the 357 gun. Cabela's sales clerk told me a 632 was a 22. I told him it was a 327. He got all pissy until an old fart clerk came by. See the dude thought it was a 63-2 (a model of their J frame 22 LR).

How about a 5.7×28mm, just to add to the suspense? It can go with the carbine!

Wouldn’t a g26x basically be what Smith has out with the m&p? I think those are selling pretty well. I wouldn’t want one. I like a 4” barrel but I’m sure they’d be popular.

Tangential, but I’ve sold an even half-dozen G42s for Glock USA at this point, just by taking new female shooters to the range with my collection of exemplars for them to try out and choose from. Only one lady did NOT choose the 42, and even she ended up with an LCP, due to insisting upon the smallest gun possible for ASAP EDC duty.

Women under 5’6" and 125-140 lbs or so really take a shine to the 42, and why not? It’s a likeable little gun.

Incidentally, second place—for shooting—has uniformely been my tuned NY-1 K-frame, but I can totally see why nobody ran out to the counter to buy a duty revolver. [/shrug]. The 19/26 option gets drowned out by the 42, in my admittedly limited experience. That G42 fits petite hands like a GP100 with compact letts fits mine. JMO.

[Clobbersaurus]

2019 needs to be the year of the Glock carbine.

How many more non-Glock manufacturers need to produce carbines that take Glock mags before Glock realizes how huge it would be for them?

Hint:

1) B&T TP9 style, with mags in the primary grip (that drop free) = a very good start.

Women under 5’6" and 125-140 lbs or so really take a shine to the 42, and why not? It’s a likeable little gun.

Incidentally, second place—for shooting—has uniformely been my tuned NY-1 K-frame, but I can totally see why nobody ran out to the counter to buy a duty revolver. [/shrug]. The 19/26 option gets drowned out by the 42, in my admittedly limited experience. That G42 fits petite hands like a GP100 with compact letts fits mine. JMO.

Weirdly, my 5' 4" wife and myself, 6' 1", both like the G42 and felt the G43 was really clunky. We'll be getting a 640 Pro to test for her in the coming year. (I can't hit with Ruger revolvers--something about the geometry doesn't work for me.)

. . . but I think SHOT is the time for a small but capable Glock carry gun.

Hmmmmm.

[Totem Polar]

How many more non-Glock manufacturers need to produce carbines that take Glock mags before Glock realizes how huge it would be for them?


Y'know, every time I read "Glock Carbine," it gets filed into the same internet nook in my brain that keeps "Gecko45" posts. But you're absolutely right. If nothing else, Ruger has made the point.

Craig Douglas and I briefly discussed the 42/43 conundrum at his course a couple of years ago (I was using a G43 for the class). We both agreed that the 42 was a sweeter shooter. Honestly, a real case can be made for a G43 as a "one gun to do it all," if it's going to be the only pistol, but if two pieces of plastic are doable, splitting around it with the 42 and a G26 or similar makes more sense to me. OMMV.

Maybe it will be Glock models factory equipped with SCDs.

[Navin Johnson]

So....... Either a G42 sized 9mm (I wish) or a double or staggered g 43.....i.e. 365 that works. ( I know there is a half dozen or so 365's that work......so far) Astonishing the worship for a few extra rounds instead of magazines and/or practice.

[FPS]

I've owned three and down to one currently. I am one of those people where Glocks just don't fit my hand real well. That was why I was so surprised when I picked up the G42.

I don't feel that way at all about the Gen 4/5 19. The Gen 3 did feel a little chunky but I think that was grip shape more than a big difference in size.

Then again, I like potatoes.

[jellydonut]

I wear size 7 gloves and the G19 feels perfectly fine. The gen 5 is downright good.

[SW CQB 45]

I prefer the G19 but I dont want it any slimmer.

Not much room for my support hand to make frame contact.

I like the Gen 5 (no finger grooves). I have a few in my office ready for assignment. I will get one next budget year.

I should have the below Gen 2 back in my office in Jan 2019 for overall comparison.

I think the 19.5 is about perfect in size for my hands and I'd love to try one out by renting one. But every Glock I've ever used shot left of center. People tell me the Gen 5's have a different trigger pull. Maybe the G5 is the ticket?

[Jim Watson]

But every Glock I've ever used shot left of center.

You can do a lot of study on grip and trigger finger curl to correct that.
Or you can move the rear sight a smidgen to the right. Exact amount calculated by trigonometry. Which is what I did, since I only shoot Glocks for GSSF.

It’s not the trigger pull. It’s the trigger shape. Viewed from the top, stock Glock triggers are round faced. This, plus the drop safety tab on the middle of the trigger face tends to result in right handed shooters engaging the trigger safety tab and Only the left side of the trigger. As a result the trigger gets pulled on a 10/11 o’clock to 4/5 o’clock axis literally pulling rounds left.

You can mitigate this by playing with trigger finger placement or by gripping the shit out of the gun.

[Polecat]

Three things would love to see:

Gun sized between the 17 and 19, slimmed down a bit.

Optional Safety like on the MHS guns, not for everyone, but I would like it.

Lastly the Glock rendition of the P365, not a stupid G26 with a 43 slide stuck on top either. The 30s is dumpy and downright looks like an afterthought as do all their .45s with that crappy useless extension looking thing.

A well executed safety that is as easy to engage as disengage.

[TheNewbie]

It won’t be that — unless GLOCK has decided it has more money and lawyers than I do (which it absolutely does) and went ahead and created its own unlicensed version (which is extremely unlikely).


I was mainly joking but it would be a wonderful thing if it happened. Of course it happening in a way that made you lots of money would be even better.


Especially if it meant we all got PF koozies out of it!

Capacity and a more comfy grip angle

[EJO]

G46, it will be Gen 5 G17 slide on G19 grip frame...the reverse of the G45 combo...:rolleyes:

This has actually been made and I've been told it will be released on/ around SHOT. The G45 MOS is also for real but I don't think it will be released until much later. They'll wait until they've sold as many G45's as possible then introduce the G45 MOS. Think 42 then 43.

[Polecat]

Actually, the magazine is the worst thing about Glock. The magazine limits everything. The gun doesn’t have to be as wide and clunky, it does though currently because of the magazine width.

Worst in that it gives up a few rounds. On the other hand, rugged, inexpensive , reliable, weather resistant, and not to mention inexpensive. Add to that, designed such that longer mags can be used without the fear of over insertion. And, they’re relatively inexpensive. ;)

If this thread has become a wish list, well, an up-sized/stretched G42 would certainly get my attention, as would a non-MOS long-slide 10mm. (Been reading too much grizzly bear stuff, I reckon, and we have been researching/contemplating some photography trips in places where big bears roam.)

4 mm wider than the 43 would put the width about the same as their double stack 9mm pistols. What is the advantage over a 19 or 26?

I think the extra 4mm side to side won’t be bad as the front to back grip is pretty small.

[luckyman]

This would be perfect for California.....of course, it will never make it on the DOJ roster of approved firearms.

I hope they don't stick with the "43x" name. I don't think it's very logical if this is truly a 1.5 stack gun with a completely different magazine. Presumably the 43x magazine will not fit in the 43. I hope this becomes the G44 - but either way, I have a GSSF coupon burning a hole in my pocket.
Now let's hope the G43 SCD will work on it -- and let's also hope it gets a 4" barrel.

[einherjarvalk]

4 mm wider than the 43 would put the width about the same as their double stack 9mm pistols. What is the advantage over a 19 or 26?

A longer grip than the 26, but with a shorter muzzle, apparently. The 43 is already slightly longer in the grip than the 26 is; the leaked dimensions would put it slightly below G19 length. It sounds more like a G26X than a G43X, assuming it takes the same mags we're used to seeing for the rest of the double stack family.

[SAWBONES]

4 mm wider than the 43 would put the width about the same as their double stack 9mm pistols. What is the advantage over a 19 or 26?


And the current G26 is only 6mm wider than the G43, so although that does definitely translate to a bigger "felt circumference" (as well as, obviously, a bigger measured circumference), I'm not sure a difference of just 4mm would seem worth it.

Holding one in the hand will obviously be necessary...

[RJ]

My abiding memory of shooting a rental G43 was how jumpy and slickery it was. Seems like a longer grip would ameliorate that somewhat.

Thoughts on the grip surface being rougher than the G43?

Also: from the photo shops, it might be Shield size. S&W has done fairly well with that size/form factor. Anyone own a Shield care to comment?

I assume it would accept G43 size extended mags?

Last one: sure hope the current G43 SCD fits it. Tom_Jones any thoughts on that?

I have to admit I’m kinda interested in a slim 10+1 Glock.

[ranger]

I have a Shield 9mm - good size. I bought an early G43 but sold it as I could use the Shield for same purpose and I wanted more capacity plus I carry my M&P 2.0 Compact even more. I suspect I would still have the G43X if it came out first and would not have bought the G43 or Shield.

They will sell a bunch of G43X in the Atlanta area if real and bet there will be a bunch of used G43s on the market.

[jwperry]

I believe you are referring to what the G45 should have been from the start. HK got it right with the P30L. :cool:


And .357 Sig, and 10mm.

Hell, if they did Gxx.5 in everything I might actually buy a few. As it is all I need Glocks for are GSSF matches which severely limits their sales to me.

Sig isn't even making 357 Sig guns anymore, I doubt Glock will invest..

[MSparks909]

Well this saves me from picking up a P365. This is what the G43 should have been from the beginning. Watching with interest :cool:

[CalAlumnus]

I just compared my Glock 26 and P365 magazines. It looks like the 26 magazine is 1.6mm thicker than the P365 magazine.

With a grip 4mm thicker than the Glock 43, the 43x grip would be 1.8mm thicker than the P365 grip.

Indeed, the P365 grip is 4.5mm thicker than its magazine, while the Glock 26 is 7.2mm thicker than its magazine.

I wonder if it's as simple as slimming down the frame, perhaps with a stronger polymer.

[Totem Polar]

Hmmm. I will admit to always sort of wanting a kahr P9...

;)

[camsdaddy]

Looks like a shield or 3913 sized 43 or a 43 with a talon tactical extension. There are a lot of people who like shields. There are a lot of people who add extensions. This will sell because its a glock and people know that they will have reliability, resale and accessories available.

How about the 43x in 45 GAP - suggested just to be a trouble maker for 2020!

[Dismas316]

The length puts is it just slightly longer than 365 w/ the 10 round pinky extension. Right in the middle of the 10/12 round length on the 365 and pretty much the shield length. Sounds like the grip however is a bit thicker, not quite the 26 (about 2mm less), but certainly thinker than the other single stack 9's. I'll be in on this one regardless, it's just a matter if I can hold off and not be a beta tester.

[psalms144.1]

Would everyone stop with these millimeter measurements? America don't speak metric!

So, now that we have SOME idea of what it is, my thoughts:

I don't give two shakes of a lamb's tail how it compares in size to a G43 or G26. How does it compare to it's direct competition - the P365?

If it has the G43's barely existent and slippery texturing, I'm not so interested. Hopefully they'll use the Gen4/5's texture.

Translation on the way...


With a grip 0.157" or 5/32" thicker than the Glock 43. The 43x grip would be 0.071" or a bit more than 1/16" thicker than the P365 grip.

In other words, we're not talking about huge differences.

[JCS]

Just my luck after I’ve spent the last year and a half investing in the Glock 43, mags, holsters, testing mag extensions etc.

I’m definitely interested if it is a Glock version of the p365. Also if a SCD will fit it. Surely they will keep the slides the same.

Hoping for the same. I think depending on what this is, it might fit my needs better and I can sell the 19.4 I never carry then between picking up a 45, whatever this is and my current 43, I think I’ll have my bases covered.

I think another potential positive for it is extended magazines. If Glock produces a factory 12 rounder or TTI or someone else produces a reliable +2 or +3 then your approaching g19 capacity in a single stack.

You know better than to go against Doctors' orders. Doc says you need three, you should buy three. That will be my game plan for certain. I hope they're as awesome sauce as the Gen5's have been. I love my current 43's and 19.5's.

I have two 9mm Shields. One for me, one for the wife.

The P365 and now this, I'll not likely be ditching the Shield for either anytime soon. I just don't see either one doing anything that much better than the Shield. With Talon grips the Shields are just grippy enough. Accurate, reliable, decent sights out of the box and a usable trigger. If Glock gets the price competitive I'll be shocked.

EDIT: Glock will have to work hard to be price competitive. PSA M&P Shield 9 $249.95 + 1 TTI base pad (gets 10 rounds in the mag) $30.99 = $280.94. That leaves a bunch of room for trigger work, ammo or class.

[StraitR]

The increase in capacity is welcomed, but I'm most excited about the incremental increase in overall size. I don't have an issue shooting my 43, in fact I'm shooting it better than ever, but I know a small size increase would go a long way towards making it easier to shoot well.

Color me extremely interested in this and whatever else Glock has up their single-stack sleeves.

26 capacity but smaller? If anything, I think this makes the 26 redundant for a lot of folks, especially if they don't own full size 9mm glocks.

I'll give it a year or so for the kinks to get worked out, but if it's as good as it promises to be, this will probably replace either my 26s or my 43s (the 43s, most likely).

It's very possible that I misread the stuff due to having very little sleep this week, but I thought the height of it was more than a G26 while just being a bit more slender. If that's the case then it seems like a cruddy trade off for losing the ability to use high cap mags in it, or even a pinky extension adding a couple rounds to the mag.

But if I did indeed misread that then I can see the appeal. Though I never have a need for a smaller gun than a G26, and the ability to reload it with much bigger mags always makes the 26 appeal to me.

Actually, you're right. Looks like it's 15mm longer than the 43 (assuming overall height, thats 123 mm with mag - G26 is 104mm with mag).

I'll hold my judgment til better photos of the real thing come out, but I'm assuming it will be competitive with the P365.

Pretty sure no matter what size it is I'll end up buying two...

[YVK]

but I'm assuming it will be competitive with the P365.


Doubt it. 365 is smaller than 43, and this 43x is larger than 43. If this new offering has slide width of the 43 and overall slim enough to conceal nearly as well as 43, it will be favorably competitive with the 43. Probably more shootable too. G26 has a fat slide so slimmer slide with the same mag capacity may offer concealment advantages to peeps like me who pay other peeps to round the slides of their double stack Glocks.

I'm definitely still interested if it offers a more shootable single stack pistol with G26 capacity. The explosion of quality 9mm single stacks in the last decade has kind of spoiled me, especially now that I own and trust a couple.

It does appear that the gun is likely to be pretty tall if tis information is correct. Assuming it is 15mm longer than the 108mm length of the 43 + mag, that puts it at 123mm in toto - just 5mm shorter than a G19. Either way, I'd definitely welcome a slimmer slide.

Curious to see how this actually shakes out when it's released.

I had really wanted the "G44" / Single Stack G19.

8rd single stack, 5" tall, 4" barrel.

Basically a Glock reliable version of the Kahr ST9:

Prudent course. If history is any guide there will be much analysis of how the photo-shopped pistol and eventually actual pictured pistol is neither fish nor foul and doesn't fit into any niche and is a big mistake . . . which becomes another very shootable monster success and becomes one of the most commonly carried concealment pistols. :D

It sounds like that is what this is...?

[Center Shot]

Have read every post, but a few things.

People who know what the new small Glock is, don’t recognize what Recoil photoshopped.

Santa sometimes brings more than one present.

I guess the rumor is that Glock will present two new models at Shot Show, the G43X and a single stack G19. Anyone hear about the single stack G19? They might even accept the same magazines? I guess the only difference between the G43X and the single stack G19 would be the longer barrel on the G19.

[JHC]

I think the actual pistol will most likely hit a sweet spot of a highly concealable and comfortable to IWB carry gun with a very serviceable "street" trigger that can still be shot to a very high level of performance. I think just a little more girth to a 43 grip would be a plus for me. And that its built on the robust and simple Gen 5 "platform" bodes well generally.

That's what I'd go for. I'd want a longer barrel/slide to balance the longer mag. Not for aesthetics, it'd just carry better.

[octagon]

That's what I'd go for. I'd want a longer barrel/slide to balance the longer mag. Not for aesthetics, it'd just carry better.

Exactly. The longer slide/barrel means better sight radius,more velocity,less recoil/muzzle rise and less blast/flash even if very minimally different with almost zero penalty for concealed carry IWB. I just don't get short slide length compared to grip length like the 19X and so called 43X. That's just me.

[mmc45414]

The longer slide/barrel means better sight radius,more velocity,less recoil/muzzle rise and less blast/flash even if very minimally different with almost zero penalty for concealed carry IWB.I actually like more barrel to reach down far enough that my ass pushes out to offset my gut pushing out on the grip.

The shields at $249 were a one time thing when they were being closed out in favor of the shield 2.0s.They are still out there, but the only ones I see at $249 are with the (IMO) undesirable thumb safety.

[Savage Hands]

OMG more options, shame on Glock... And every one will be sold out for years.

[Tod-13]

*sigh* I would prefer a full length single-stack grip. Not everything has to be little-itty bitty deep concealment or service (over-)sized guns. A lot of CHL folks would like a not-too-heavy not-too-huge handgun that actually fits the hand and doesn't pinch on reloads. (Even my wife with little bitty hand thinks the G43 grip is weird and prefers the G42.)

0.6 inches longer? Just make it a normal single stack and make it 1.5 inches longer.

Still left overs. That TS 1.0 is just like the veggie omelet MRE no one wants.

On another note, with all the stupid aftermarket crap out there I don’t know why someone has not made an extended thumb safety for the shield - something like the thumb safety on the M&P22 Compact.

[flyrodr]

If one tabulated the dimensions of several popular models, well, I'm not sure what it does, but here it is.

33427

And then, for grins, if one adds L+W+H+Wt, there's perhaps an even more meaningless set of numbers

33429

And even if that last set of numbers meant something (as in, is the P365 "smallest"), I expect they'd need normalizing somehow by capacity, or fit, or feel, or function, or whatever.

But, yes, it'll most definitely be interesting to see where the new Glock(s?) fit in (literally).

Isn’t that just a G45, or do you mean single stack?

[mmc45414]

Isn’t that just a G45, or do you mean single stack?Yeah, I think there would be an opportunity for a larger gun that is still thin with a grip long enough to fit your whole hand on without a mag extension, like the Kahr that was pictured, but with a Glock or M&P action. One of the larger Kahrs will even (I believe) take a tweaked 1911 magazine. Seems like the trend is for smaller to always mean shorter, and they end up being stubby little things that are still just as chunky IWB. Take something like the Shield and make it as tall as the extended magazine and put a 4" barrel on it. Maybe this new Glock will be along those lines?

The more I think about it, the more I think that this will be the approach. I actually think the “43x” and “Single Stack 19” are the same gun.

It’s tempting to start with an existing model and tweak it. That’s what Glock did with the 26, and that’s how a lot of people are thinking about this 43x in this thread (myself included).

Instead, I think (hope) Glock is designing the optimal solution around a 10 round capacity—optimal including shootability, accuracy, and concealability. In other words, to think about the value proposition of different firearms...

Glock 19: A shootable, concealable 15 round gun.
Glock 26: A cut down Glock 19, that accepts magazines from the larger guns, at the expense of shootability.
Glock 43: The smallest, most concealable 9mm Glock.
Glock 43x: The best compromise between shootability, concealability, and ammunition capacity. Longer but thinner than the 26, with a 4” barrel. Probably a 1.5-stack magazine; won’t accept double-stack magazines.

Sig P365: The smallest, most concealable 9mm with a 10 round capacity.

[Spartan1980]

That’s a lot lower than I would have thought. It’s no wonder S&W have sold what? a million of the Shields now?
I think I remember seeing S&W state they sold over 1 million quite some time back long before the 2.0s came out. I'm sure they are way past 2 million by now.


The shields at $249 were a one time thing when they were being closed out in favor of the shield 2.0s. They normally run $300-$350 ish.
I've seen them at $279 multiple times. I got my wife's for that and with a rebate it came down to that or even a little less. Ironically it had a far better trigger out of the box than mine did. Mine got trigger work done to it, this one didn't even need it.

Why not just get a Kahr ST9? All guns above the PM/CM size are very reliable.

ETA: Bold Prediction - dedicated Glock 19/26 carriers will buy a 43x, carry it for 6-months and then realize it doesn’t conceal better than a 26/19 and dump it, because it’s not backwards compatible with existing mags and holsters.

[psalms144.1]

For about a million years, a large number of GLOCK fans have been screaming for a GLOCK LW Commander - slim, light, single stack 9mm about G19 dimensions. If the G43X is a 4-inch barrel, 10-shot that's about 4.8-5" in OAL, I predict it will sell like hotcakes to that segment of folks who want a SLIM carry gun for CCW.

I think it'll also make a lot more sense for folks in stupid places that limit magazine capacity to 10 rounds, since factory neutered GLOCK mags have a history of being not-so-great, reliability wise.

I personally don't see any reason to pick one of these up - the P365 has the same capacity and is MUCH smaller. The G26 has the same capacity, but can reload off any of the multitude of G19 and/or G17 magazines in my collection. And, given the rough dimensions we're hearing, I don't see how it'll be all that much more concealable than the G19...

I attended the Glock Operator Course in Smyrna a while ago. It was hinted a single stack G19-esque gun was being called for. This was not too long ago, but long enough that the X moniker was not on the market. FWIW.

I'll probably pick one up if theres no other 4" single stack this year.

In general though, I prefer pistols made in Europe.

It doesn't have to be Glock - I would be beyond thrilled with a 4" barrel Walther PPS...basically a modern version of the Walther PP.

I was on a kick for a single stack 19 (https://pistol-forum.com/showthread.php?18015-Glock-19-size-single-stack) at one point. I tried most of them. The reality was thinner wasn't better for me. Really thin single stacks are hard to draw well, reload, and maintain a good grip on during recoil. If someone could crack the code on those issues, make it reliable, with a way to control the striker/hammer, and do it with out the weird grip hump of a Glock I would be really interested. How's that for what if's and run on sententeces?

[Mjolnir]

I think another potential positive for it is extended magazines. If Glock produces a factory 12 rounder or TTI or someone else produces a reliable +2 or +3 then your approaching g19 capacity in a single stack.

And therein lies the conundrum.

The 19 is BLOCKY compared to... VP9, P-07 and P-10C.

The Model 43 has a slimmer slide and its the right, rear corner of the slide that prints if you’re righthanded and carry AIWB.

A longer stock makes the pistol a little easier to grip and draw under stress as well as shoot it better at speed and/or under stress.

I don’t see this pistol being a bad thing at all.

"Glock finally realizing the single-stack 9mm market is where it’s at for concealed carry after 15 years of being told." Seriously? Can you name a single model in current production that it will be competing with? S&W ditched the 3913, I'll remind you, so painting this as a no-duh move is a little silly.

The only competitor I can think of is Kahr, which doesn't have nearly the market share/production capacity. The SIG P225 counts too, but is nearly twice the price as the average Glock model MSRP.

If this does end up being a "single stack G19," I suspect it will sell very well in ban states. I'll definitely buy a couple just to be ready for the non-zero eventuality that I end up in a ban state again. I also own far more Glocks than is healthy, though, so YMMV.

But remember it has to get to ban states. No one can get a G42/43 in California and chances of it getting on the roster are zero. No G43 in Mass either (though they have the G42 and Gen G19).

In the current social climate, it's entirely possible that the mountain could well come to Mohammed on this, too. That is certainly a real concern in Washington. Just saying.

Yeah I mean CA is beyond redemption, but it looks like at least Mass is still adding new Glocks to their roster, so it's not inconceivable that they'll make it onto the list eventually. There's also CT, NJ, MD, NY, and HI, so another 10% of the 50 US states.

I actually think the additional width stands to give it a kind of niche place in the CCW handgun market out there. When you think about it, we really do live in an extremely new and relatively spoiled era with regard to handguns designed for concealed carry. When I first got my permit about 10 years ago (not much time compared to others here), there were J frames, Kahrs, and double-stack subcompacts. Kahr and a few other models excepted, there were very few handguns explicitly designed for CCW.

It's nice that manufacturers (not just Glock) are moving into new territory and away from doublestack subcompact/compact/FS pistols. Even if I dont have any interest in buying one (Sig P365, Kimber K6, etc) I think it's great they're aiming at at market that consists primarily of folks like me.

Per what I think is their most recent roster (https://www.mass.gov/files/documents/2018/04/23/Approved%20Firearms%20Roster%2004-2018.pdf), they have Gen 4 guns on their list, so they've added guns at least semi-recently.

I don't have much issue shooting my 43, and I find the thinner grip 'points' more naturally for me, while also obviously printing less.

At the same time, I always use it with either +1/+2 base pads in order to get a full grip, and since its carried IWB, the short slide is of no benefit for concealement, and is a negative for recoil and velocity.

If I was designing an "Ideal ideal" single stack IWB pistol, it would be a 7rd flush fit grip, with option 8rd pinky rest magazine, and a 4" barrel. Basically like the older Kahr Tactical 9, which was the TP9 slide on the P9 frame:
http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-lVnEh-4bDhQ/TgNPjToyMvI/AAAAAAAAADI/OL7qLk62m5w/s1600/TP9-NOVAK.png

In that configuration, you'd have a 4.5" high pistol with the 7rd mag, and a 5" high/ G19 sized pistol with the 8rd pinky mag. And you get the 4" barrel to allow you to shoot off the shelf duty ammo, rather then the specialized short barrel loads.

For example, a Shield or PPS with a 4" slide, would be that gun.

But thats a little too perfect to expect from Glock, so I would just be happy for the "single stack 19" / TP9 sized G44.

I'm worried the G43X will be what it sounds like - a G19X style pistol with a short slide and long grip. Which is basically the reverse of what I'm looking for in terms of a pistol.

[littlejerry]

Went shooting with the wife recently and we were trying to identify her ideal pistol. Basically ended up describing a 42x. She's under 5ft and her weight is double digits, so she's always been one to shy away from full size guns.

Seems like a goofy gun but I'd be thrilled to buy her one.

Good old byzantine MA gun laws.

An individual can own new Glocks in Massachusetts (with 10 round mags or pre ban 10 round plus mags) legally. There are a few ways for newer guns not on the various "lists" to get into MA. Once in MA anyone can purchase them if they have the proper licensing, but due the rarity you will generally pay a premium. The 43x is interesting to me since its a hopefully reliable 10 round gun without neutering the magazine. Once its vetted I'll likely be one of the people overpaying for it in MA since our AG is a tyrant.

Ah, ok. There is more to it then that. Not all firearms on that list may be sold to the public by ffl's because they dont meet the attorney general's separate compliance requirements. There are a whole list of requirements to make a gun MA compliant, things like a minimum 10lb trigger pull. The standards went into effect in 1998 and pre 98 glocks are grandfathered. My understanding is that post 98 glocks can be sold to leo's but not the public. Just goes to show how convoluted MA's gun laws are, and that's just a general overview...

...there's more than one list??

Added to the reasons to not move to Mass.... sigh. As a Patriots fan this only adds to my self loathing.

Of course, one list would be way too easy. There is the EOPS roster that Glocks are on since the past an actual test so the police can use them. There are also "requirements" that the attorney general came up with under the guise of consumer protection with vague and undefined terms that require heavy trigger pull and other nonsense. FFL are not supposed to transfer handguns to the public that don't meet the AG requirements. MA is a cluster. I have spent hours and hours reading stuff the try avoid accidentally breaking one of the many often contradictory laws.

I always like to point out how the MA system is inherently biased against lower income folks as the amount of time and resources it takes is unfair to them relative to someone like me is lucky enough to do ok for themselves. That argument always messes with the heads of liberal MA folks. They don't like the hear the "rich white guy" is advantaged (I'm not rich sadly).

Went shooting with the wife recently and we were trying to identify her ideal pistol. Basically ended up describing a 42x. She's under 5ft and her weight is double digits, so she's always been one to shy away from full size guns.

Seems like a goofy gun but I'd be thrilled to buy her one.

Did she actually try the 42? What about the S&W .380 EZ?

A 42 with a bit more tube, both top and bottom, would be a hosing machine. I know, "phrasing," and all that, but one could really throw some lead downrange with a gun like that. A CZ83 for the new millennium.

The real question is...will this be Pocket Glocks or Subcompact division in GSSF?

Looks like you were right with the G43X, how about the single stack G19?

I heard that the single stack G19 will be called the G48. Anyone have any info. on the G48?
