Glock 43
Glock's micro and one of the truly small ones. Only six rounds, a grip that leaves one finger hanging off — but it fits in a pocket and in carry positions no other pistol does. A pistol for someone whose alternative is leaving the gun at home.
What's good about it

- Exceptionally slim, disappears completely under light clothing
- Glock reliability in a micro frame
What's less good
- Only 6 rounds
- Very sharp recoil for such a light gun
- No red-dot provision, and tiny sights

How to mount an optic on it
The Glock 43 has no factory optic cut, which is true of most pistols in Israel. There are two routes: milling the slide at a gunsmith, which costs more and is irreversible but sits the optic low; or an adapter that replaces the rear sight, which is cheap and reversible but sits it higher. These are the optics that mount without milling.
