Glock 43 9mm Subcompact Single Stack Pistol, Black, 2x 6-Rd Mags

Description

There's a reason the Glock 43 became one of the most carried handguns in the country almost overnight. Glock took everything people trust about their full-size pistols and shrunk it into a single stack 9mm that measures just 1.02 inches wide and 6.26 inches long. Unloaded, it comes in around a pound, so it rides comfortably inside the waistband all day without printing or dragging your belt down. The 3.41 inch cold hammer forged barrel keeps the whole package short enough for deep concealment while still delivering solid accuracy out to practical defensive distances.

Why the G43 Still Earns Its Spot

Plenty of micro nines have hit the market since this one launched, and the 43 is still a top pick for a simple reason: it runs. The Safe Action trigger gives you the same consistent 5.5 pound pull every time, with three internal safeties that disengage as you press and reset when you let off. The frame has a built-in beavertail so you can choke up high on the grip without slide bite, and the textured grip keeps things planted even with sweaty hands. Fixed sights with a white dot front and white outline rear are easy to pick up fast, and the serrated slide gives you good purchase for racking under stress. No accessory rail means no snag points on the draw, which is exactly what you want in a carry gun.

Glock 43 Magazines and Setup

This package ships with two 6-round magazines, one with a flat baseplate for maximum concealment and one with a pinky extension for a fuller grip on the range. Most folks carry the flat mag and keep the extended one as a spare or range mag, so you get the best of both right out of the box. Add in the massive aftermarket for holsters, sights, and upgrades built around the G43, and you've got a carry pistol you can set up exactly how you like. This model is made in the USA and wears Glock's matte black finish on both the slide and frame.
