Description
The 43X earned its spot as one of the most popular carry guns in the country by doing everything well and nothing poorly. The Hoth edition takes that proven platform and gives it a look you won't see on the rack every day: a distressed grey Cerakote applied by Shark Coast Tactical with a battle worn treatment that pulls straight from a certain frozen planet in a galaxy far, far away. The finish work is paired with Shark Coast's Greasy Cut slide, which sharpens up the profile while giving your fingers more to grab during racking and press checks. A laser stippled grip rounds out the custom touches, adding real traction where the factory texture leaves off.
More Than Just a Pretty Slide on the 43X Hoth
Underneath the custom work sits a genuine Glock 43X. That means the match-grade Glock Marksman Barrel measuring 3.41 inches, the Safe Action striker-fired trigger system, a built-in beavertail, and the slim frame that makes this pistol disappear under a T-shirt. It carries like a single stack but shoots like something bigger, which is exactly why the 43X has become a go-to for everyday carry.
15 Rounds Without Growing an Inch
Here's the part that separates this version from the standard 43X. This package ships with two flush-fit 15-round magazines, giving you 50 percent more capacity than the factory 10-rounders in the same footprint. No extended baseplates hanging below the grip, no added bulk. Just 15+1 of 9mm in a pistol sized for concealment.
Drop an Optic on Your 43X Hoth
The slide is cut to accept red dots with Shield RMSC, Sig RomeoZero, and Holosun 407K/507K footprints, and the correct mounting screws from Shark Coast Tactical come in the box. If you're an iron sight person, the fixed sights are ready to run right out of the case. Either way, this is a limited run, and once these grey ones melt away they tend not to come back.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I mount a red dot on the Glock 43X Hoth?
Yes. The slide is cut for optics with Shield RMSC, Sig RomeoZero, and Holosun 407K/507K footprints, which covers most of the popular micro red dots people run on carry guns. Just make sure you use the mounting screws from Shark Coast Tactical that come with the pistol, since standard optic screws are not the correct fit for this cut.
How does the 43X Hoth fit 15 rounds in a flush magazine?
The included 15-round steel magazines use a staggered round design that packs five extra rounds into the same overall length as the factory 10-round mag. Nothing hangs below the grip, so you keep the exact same concealment profile while carrying 50 percent more ammo. It is one of the most popular upgrades in the concealed carry world, and this package has it covered from day one.
Is the worn look on the finish damage or intentional?
Completely intentional. Shark Coast Tactical applies a distressed grey Cerakote with a deliberate battle worn effect, so the scuffed, weathered appearance is part of the design. Since the distressing is done by hand, each pistol has its own slightly unique character, and the Cerakote itself is a tough, corrosion-resistant coating built to handle regular use.
Is the Glock 43X Hoth still a good everyday carry gun?
Absolutely. Under the custom finish it is a standard 43X, with the slim frame, 3.41 inch Marksman barrel, and Safe Action trigger that made this model a carry favorite in the first place. The bump to 15+1 capacity and the optics-ready slide arguably make it a better carry setup than the stock version, with a look that stands out at the range.
