I bought a Glock 48 when they came out a few years ago.
I had no specific need for it, but I bought one because I support the concept of a single stack G19 sized gun. (I have a Kahr K9, P9 and T9 that I accumulated over the years that are about the same size platform)
I found it very pleasant to shoot. I qualified with it and occasionally carry it off duty (loaded with Hornady Critical Defense 115 grn)
I can think of a dozen people I trained over the last thirty years who would have benefited from a gun this size because they had really small hands. Two were males. I wish Glock had invented this gun years ago, when they came out with the baby Glocks. I have big hands and long fingers so it isn't an issue for me, but it is an issue for a lot of people.
The Glock 48 would make a good duty gun for cops with small hands, provided that somebody made an appropriate duty holster for it.
