If you’re looking for a 9mm pistol that’s easy to carry and dependable, the Glock 43X is worth a look. A lot of folks around Houston use these for concealed carry permits, and it’s a solid option for keeping at home for protection. It’s also a good size for practicing at the range.
Glock 43X Details
The Glock 43X is a slimline, 9mm pistol built around Glock’s well-known Safe Action system. This means there’s no external safety to fumble with – it’s a three-part safety system integrated into the trigger pull. It’s a semi-automatic, polymer-framed handgun that focuses on all-day comfort and a reliable shooting experience.

What sets the 43X apart?
Glock designed the 43X to bridge the gap between their subcompact and compact pistols. It’s got a slightly longer grip than the standard 43, which gives you more to hold onto and a higher round count. This model features a built-in beaver tail and a shorter trigger distance, making it comfortable for a wider range of hand sizes. The slide also has front serrations for easier manipulation if you need to rack it back under stress. The nDLC finish on the slide is tough and resists corrosion, important with the humidity we get here in Houston.
