Why is the finish different on the 43x and 48 that standard gen gen 5’s?
Looks like the old frying pan finish |

Mine G43X slide's finish pretty much matches my G45.
At least, that's how it looks to me. |

The 43X I bought several years ago has the nDLC finish which I dislike because it is too slick. The 43X I purchased recently has a matte finish which I like a lot more.

Some time in the last year, Glock went back to a dull gray GasOx finish on the 43X and 48, rather than the slick black DLc like on the Gen 5s.
Some are also seeing thing finish on the barrels of new Gen 5 guns. Reports of the durability are positive, but the jet black DLC is something I like a lot personally. |

The Glock nDLC finish is inferior to the DLC finish on my Staccatos.

I’ve noticed this the last few months looking at Glocks at my LGS. Seems that some are back to the old finish.
