Glock 43X
Glock's answer to true concealed carry. A slim, full-length grip — your hand wraps around it like a big pistol, but it disappears under a shirt. The only compromise is capacity, and even that can be solved.
What's good about it
- The slimmest grip in the Glock line — a real solution for small hands
- Full-length grip, every finger gets a hold. Rare at this size
- The best seller in Israel in its category, so holster availability is excellent
What's less good
- Only 10 rounds from the factory
- The 15-round extended magazines are aftermarket metal and also require swapping the magazine release
- Light enough that recoil feels sharper than the 19
