Glock 43X Hoth 9mm 3.41" 15rd Grey Pistol

Hoth is Shark Coast Tactical's distressed grey treatment, and on a Glock 43X it reads more like weathered equipment than a paint job. The slide gets SCT's greasy cut, an angled machining pattern that breaks up the flat sides and gives the thumb something to index against, and the frame is laser stippled for grip. Everything mechanical is factory Glock: a 3.41" barrel, fixed sights, the striker fired trigger, and three passive safeties that release in sequence as the trigger travels.

Capacity is where this build separates from a stock 43X. Fifteen rounds of 9mm in a frame this slim used to require a double stack grip nobody could hide, and the 43X gets there while staying under an inch across the slide. Two magazines come in the case. Grip length runs long enough for a full three finger hold, which is the reason the 43X shoots more like a compact than a pocket gun, and the beavertail keeps the web of the hand high on the frame. A custom finish on top of a proven carry platform is a fair trade for anyone tired of black polymer.
