During Enforce Tac 2019, GLOCK showcases its new Slimline Silver slide, including the new subcompact slim G43X and the compact slim G48.

Both new compact slim GLOCK pistols have a high capacity with 10 9mm rounds magazine slim 01, an enhanced polygonal barrel profile, silver coloured nPVD slide with front serrations, a Safe Action system, an enhanced barrel profile, a frame design with built-in beaver tail, smoother trigger pull, a loaded chamber indicator and a reversible magazine catch (ambidextrous). 

The G48 is a thinner version of the G19, creating a prefect fit for a wide variety of hand sizes. The G43X is a crossover of the G48 and the G43 and features a slim design with high magazine capacity.

It’s important to note that previous single stacked 9mm mags used in the G43 do not fit in the new G48 and G43x. These new pistols have identical full-size grips, though the G48 has a slightly longer barrel then the G43x. Although Glocks are already popular among CCW owners, the powerhouse gunmaker wanted to up the ante.
