sure but sig has been a shitshow for the last 25yrs. you can pick up any glock anywhere in the world and it will blast and blast. not to mention, 2 finger grips with 35k psi ammo are worthless. cant hit shit with them. seriously, everything sig has made since the 226 has been complete shit.

I got my first chance to handle these today. I'm mostly indifferent. The 43X is significantly larger than the P365. It compares okay to the Shield, though. It will probably be a decent CC option for some people depending upon their preferences. I find the 48 to be more interesting in an academic sort of way, but I wouldn't expect it to sell as well unless it turns into something of a ban state service gun. The only thing that baffles me about these is the finish. Why the hell did they choose a silver finish for CC guns? |

I wasn't wild about the silver slide when I saw it in pictures but after buying a 48, it's growing on me. It looks better in person as it's more of a flat grey color. I really wish Glock would bring back the frying pan finish as their standard coating. Best finish ever.

Whoever thinks it has to do with import rules is wrong. The G43 is smaller than both the G43X and G48, meaning they have fewer points awarded to them, but are still imported just fine. Quote HistoryQuoted:

so glock has gone from copying HK to copying colt and smith and wesson. it would be nice if they got original and did away with that horrendous grip angle and under cut that trigger guard. but, only the millions have been asking for that since the 90's

We're at SHOT Show and Mrs. Miami_JBT also got in on the fun.
GLOCK 43X & GLOCK 48 Review in Español  Mrs. Miami_JBT handling the new GLOCK 48. Today is a special treat since the Misses is stepping out from behind the camera and is giving the female shooter a look at the new G43X and G48 in both English and Spanish. I just want to say that as a female shooter and someone with "tactical hands". I find GLOCK's new Model 48 is just the ticket for someone like me. I currently carry the Model 42 as my EDC but I've been wanting something a bit bigger like the GLOCK 19. The problem is, even with the Model 19 Gen 5, the grip is just a little too big for me. But the Model 48 is just right. I've always had issues with trigger reach but the grip circumference of the Model 48 makes it so much easier. I don't have to constantly readjust my grip. It just fits naturally. 
GLOCK 48 and GLOCK 45 Like I said, the Model 48 fits my hands perfectly and as the Ben, the GLOCK rep said. I don't have small hands. I have tactical hands. I really think this will be a hit with the gals at the range and I hope my hubby gets the hint and gets me one. For our Spanish readers, please by all means and enjoy GLOCK explaining why the new G43X and G48 are great choices for the female shooter.  SHOT Show 2019: Glock Español |

At least this will motivate SIG to release a P365X. They could make the grip an inch longer and have a P365 variant the exact same size as the Glock 43X and it will hold 15 rounds.

Comparing my G43 and my new G48...
 Attached File Attached File Attached FileAnd, finally, my homemade G43X and G43L...  Attached FileI really like the G43X and G48 a lot more than either the G43 or G43L. The G43 grip has always been too small for me and with the G48 slide on it, it feels really unbalanced (it might feel different without the TLR-6 and with a full magazine, though). The G43X/G48 frame, however, fills my hand well and both slides feel great on it. |
