Duration: 25:58

The Glock 43X offers Glock's renowned reliability in a slim, compact package, but its longer grip places it more in the 'belt gun' category than a pocket pistol. While accurate for defensive use, its dimensions are compared unfavorably to the smaller Sig P365 for deep concealment. The interchangeable slides between the 43X and 43 are a notable feature, though magazines are not.

Quick Summary

The Glock 43X offers Glock's renowned reliability in a slim package, but its longer grip makes it more of a 'belt gun' than a pocket pistol. While accurate for defense, it's larger than the Sig P365 for the same 10-round capacity, making the P365 preferable for deep concealment.
