Glock 43X 9mm 15rd Pistol

Glock built the 43X by putting a slim subcompact slide on a grip with compact length, a pairing meant to suit a wide variety of users. This one is chambered in 9mm Luger and has a 15 round magazine capacity. Three safeties release one after another as you press the trigger, and all three reset on their own the moment the trigger is let go.

The frame is polymer, with an accessory rail for a light and a beavertail at the top of the grip. Glock applies an advanced surface treatment to the slide that gives it high hardness, cutting down wear and tear and resisting corrosion, while the matte surface keeps light reflection low. The extractor pulls double duty as a loaded chamber indicator: its position shows by sight and by touch whether a cartridge sits in the chamber, a feature that helps the pistol comply with the laws of certain states. Packed with the pistol are two magazines, a magazine loader, a cleaning kit, a pistol case and a gun lock.
