The transition is anticipated to begin within 30 days.

The Glock 48 is presented as a 'skinny 19' with a slimmer profile but similar footprint, featuring a silver nPVD slide and Gen 5 grip texturing. It excels as a 'Goldilocks' option, balancing concealability with a longer sight radius for improved accuracy, especially at extended ranges. While comfortable for a full grip and reducing felt recoil, its 10-round capacity is a trade-off compared to the Glock 19.

It covers ultra-compact North American Arms mini-revolvers, reliable S&W J-frames, popular .380 ACP pistols like the Glock 42 and Sig P238, slimline 9mm options such as the S&W Shield and Ruger LC9, and larger double-stack compacts like the Glock 19 for more experienced users.
The Glock Model 36 is a slimline, single-stack .45 ACP pistol designed for concealed carry, offering a thinner grip than the double-stack Model 30.

Both share a 3.78-inch barrel, but their slides and barrels are not interchangeable.
