Glock to Release 10 Round, G43X Pistol

[Amp Mangum]

According to dimensions leaked to RECOIL by a third party with ties to Glock’s Austrian headquarters, compared to the dimensions of the G43, the G43X grip is “4mm wider and 15mm longer than a G43” to accommodate its new ten-round magazine.

Perfect. I predict they sell millions.

 

[Mitch Rapp]

Oh, look...a G365 lol

 

[ProfMagoo(ret)]

When they gonna make a belt-fed version?

[BatteryOaksBilly]

Wider and longer. Pass...

 

[BatteryOaksBilly]

During the Meet and Greet my Pard Jeppo let us all finger his Sig 365. I can say size wise I like it better than my G43s. I'm just too heavily in on the G43s to switch. Our guns now carry 9 all up.

Not sure but, that might have been with the 12 round magazine.

 

[Radar]

So why not just carry a 26 then? Oh yeah marketing gimmick got it!

 

[Geezer]

A 43 with a bigger grip? Might as well carry the G19.

 

[Ikarus1]

I have seen a Glock 43 with a wider grip. It's called the G26 and it holds 10rds in the flush mag.

 

[Get Off My Lawn]

That's not what she said.

 

[Jeppo]

Will be interesting to see how long it takes for an M&P365.

 

[Flashpoint]

I don't get the whole "x" thing. I'd much rather have a longer slide / sight radius than a longer grip that will print more. I could do the longer grip thing myself with a longer mag and mag sleeve. Just don't get it.

Shoot one, might change your mind. I said the same thing till I handled one that a friend had and felt how well balanced it was. The “X” isn’t a new thing that glock developed, the commander 1911s are the same concept.

Again though, it can be done with a 19 and mag sleeves, and the grip is typically what prints, not the slide. You could even do it with a 26 and think how well it would balance then.

Exactly this!!!!!! Too big for its capacity.

It’s not intended to be a conceal carry gun (even though it does carry well) so printing isn’t a concern. Again...try one, ya might change your mind...

 

[fieldgrade]

I actually like the grip on the G43 much better than the Sig P365, even with all that capacity in the wee grip in the Sig. I sold the Sig and kept the Glock.

 

[Tailhunter]

I want ...

My wife tells me I’m old enough that my wants won’t hurt me.


A g45 and a g43x

 

[fieldgrade]

So it’s 15mm taller and a smidge wider than a g43. I want one.

I occasionally carry 2 26s with 19 mags and sleeves. I like them but they are a tiny bit too much of a load for this old man. I carried 2 26s for a little over a year. The grips are a bit fat for my girlish hands. I prefer the 26 with 19 mags and sleeves.....for me.

 

[jmccracken1214]

I carry a 19 and 45. But will be getting this as soon as one comes in at Craig's.
They'll have info on it Jan 3rd

 

[fieldgrade]

Did the 42's and 43's have any bugs to work out when they were first released? I don't recall.

Not to my knowledge. We are talking about Glock here, not Sig lol

And I'll be ready to buy it for half what you have in it Jan 4th.

Pshhh, I get them at a very good price.

The G42 had some issues related to magazines. A couple of revisions to the mags and all is good now.
The early G43 had a very heavy trigger pull. Glock addressed it and retro fitted any that were sent in for repair. All is good now.

 

[P01135809]

15mm!!!!

might as well carry a G40 MOS...

The G43 I have now has the best trigger of all the Glocks I've owned, and it is bone stock. Might need to wait for them to get the first batch out there.

Thats because its in 380 and 380 is gross

I love the 43 so much. If this has a slightly wider grip, and 12rounds (TTI base) I am going to own one. And lovingly pimp it out with stupid aftermarket parts and ugly cerakote.
And get a high ride kydex owb.
My poor 19 may never see the light of day again!

Never fell for the 26.

God, what happened? Never thought I’d be excited by dumb new Grocks. I always aimed to remain a CZ cork sniffer.

 

[NKD]

You shut your whore mouth Karen!

I love the 42.

Yep. My favorite Grock. Carry mine everywhere!

 

[jmccracken1214]

You probably wear your wife's heels when she's not around too.

 

[Jeppo]

I believe you mean “heals”.

 

[jmccracken1214]

I believe you mean “heuls”.

Lol!! I've been up since 4am sick as a dog. I'm allowed a type-o

I agree...

I gave my son my 19, and the 17 is a match gun, or alternately a truck gun, lol.

The 43 is all that, and if they make it in 10 rounds, I'm all in, while keeping the current 43 for pocket carry.

 

[ProfMagoo(ret)]

Wider and longer. Pass...

See, this is why one should have both a G43 and a G34: you know, normal state and excited state.

 

[SC380]

It will be smaller and lighter than a 19 and you wont have to put talon grip on the handle to be able to hold onto it.

Some of these reactions remind me of the reactions to the 19x and then the Glock 45 and oddly enough Glock sells every one of them and we now have people saying the Glock 45 is the best Glock ever...not that I agree with that but the emotional outpour over Glock new releases is both amusing and mind boggling.
