Description
The Glock 43X has earned its spot as one of the most popular slim 9mm carry guns out there, and this version dresses it up with a black tiger camo finish over the US-made MOS package. You get the same Slimline frame people love for everyday carry, paired with an optics-ready slide and a built-in front rail. The look turns heads, but underneath it's all business: a dependable, soft-shooting subcompact that disappears under a t-shirt.
Chambered in 9mm Luger, this 43X runs a 3.41-inch Glock Marksman Barrel with polygonal rifling for a tight bullet fit and easy cleanup. It carries 10+1 with the flush-fit magazine and weighs in right around 18.7 ounces empty, which is light enough for all-day wear while still giving you enough mass to keep recoil mild. The grip frame is longer than the original G43, so most hands get a full hold, and the built-in beavertail keeps the web of your hand tucked in close.
What Sets This 43X MOS Apart
The MOS slide is milled to accept RMSc-pattern micro red dots, so you can run a Holosun, Shield, or similar optic without an adapter plate for most popular sights. The Slim Mounting Rail up front lets you add a compact weapon light or laser, something the standard 43X skips. Precision front serrations and front-to-back grip texture round out the handling, and the slide wears a tough nDLC coating under the camo for corrosion resistance.
Carrying the Tiger Camo 43X
At 1.10 inches wide and 6.5 inches long overall, it tucks into an IWB holster cleanly and rides flat against the body. New shooters tend to pick it up fast thanks to the simple Safe Action trigger and forgiving grip, while experienced carriers appreciate the longer sight radius over the smaller G43. If you want a slim everyday 9mm that doesn't look like everyone else's, this one delivers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Glock 43X MOS come ready for a red dot?
Yes. The MOS slide is factory-milled for RMSc-pattern micro red dots, so optics like the Holosun 507K or Shield RMSc mount directly for most popular sights. Keep in mind adapter plates and the optic itself are sold separately.
What's the difference between this 43X and the standard one?
This is the MOS version with a front accessory rail, which the base 43X doesn't have. That means you get an optics-ready slide plus the Slim Mounting Rail for a compact light or laser, all in a striking black tiger camo finish.
How many rounds does the Glock 43X MOS hold?
It holds 10+1 with the flush-fit factory magazine and ships with two 10-round mags. Many owners run aftermarket Shield Arms metal magazines to bump capacity up to 15 rounds if they want more.
Is the 43X a good size for concealed carry?
It's one of the most popular slim carry guns for good reason. At 1.10 inches wide and right around 18.7 ounces empty, it rides flat in an IWB holster and conceals easily under light clothing, while the longer grip gives most hands a full hold.
Is the tiger camo a durable finish?
The slide still carries Glock's tough nDLC coating underneath, which is built to resist wear and corrosion. The camo is a cosmetic finish over a proven platform, so it holds up fine with normal carry and cleaning.
Does this 43X work for shooters with smaller or larger hands?
It handles a wide range of hand sizes thanks to the slim grip and longer frame than the original G43. Smaller hands get a comfortable reach to the trigger, while folks with larger hands appreciate the extra grip length over micro-compacts.
