Glock 43X 9mm 3.41" 15rd Rail Pistol

The 43X answered a question carry shooters kept asking: does a slim gun have to hold six or seven rounds? It uses a Slimline frame with a compact length grip and a subcompact width slide, which means a full hand on the gun and a slide narrow enough to disappear under a cover garment. Magazine capacity is 15 rounds and two magazines come with the pistol.

This version adds the slim mounting rail at the front of the frame, so a compact weapon light or laser finally has somewhere to go. The rest of the Slimline traits carry over: a short trigger distance that suits smaller hands, a built in beavertail, a reversible magazine catch for left hand shooters, and the Glock Marksman Barrel that came in with the Gen5 line. Front serrations are milled into the slide for press checks, and the slide is cut for an optic. The frame is black polymer, the slide is steel, and chambering is 9mm Luger. It is a carry gun before anything else, but the grip length and the round count make it workable as a nightstand pistol too.
