The Glock 43 comes with a flush magazine and a pinky-extension magazine. Both have 6-round capacity. As usual for small Glocks, there are several aftermarket options for magazine-capacity extensions.

Overall, it's easy to see why the Glock 43 is one of the most popular CCW pistols. It's small, has decent capacity, great ergonomics, and is utterly reliable. I can only fault it on looks but there's enough aftermarket parts to remedy that.

In the end, all of the numbers of the Glocks got their name from their patent number.

2015 The Glock 43, high-quality subcompact pistol, was first introduced in 2015. The G43 is also one of the smallest and lightest single-stack handguns found in the 9mm semiautomatic subcompact gun family.

Along with all the standard models such as the Glock 19 Gen 4, the fourth generation of Glock pistols also introduced the Glock 43.

The G43 is easy to own and easy to maintain. Glocks need very little maintenance. They perform just fine when they're dirty and because they are mostly plastic, they are simply easy. If you're new to guns or don't want a finicky firearm that needs maintenance, Glocks are a good choice for you.

In terms of capacity, however, the Glock 19 is the clear winner. The 19 comes standard with a 15-round magazine and is available with optional 17, 19, 24, 31, and 33-round magazines. The 43, however, is limited to its standard 6-round magazine. If ease of concealment is your concern, you may want to consider the G43.

Glock pistols are known for their reliability and durability. The Glock 43 inherits these characteristics, offering a reliable firearm for self-defense purposes. The 9mm chambering provides good stopping power while maintaining manageable recoil.

generation four Glock The Glock 43 is considered a generation four Glock, but the trigger reminds me more of the Gen 3 Glocks. It has your super-light take-up.

If you're looking for a smaller, lighter gun for everyday carry, the G43 may be the right choice for you. If you're looking for a weapon that's still concealable but features a higher round capacity, the G19 is the obvious choice.

Maximum accuracy if you practice is about 50 yards. But for the most part for the average shooter 7 yards is used for self-defense practice.

Shooting experience. I find the Glock 43 to be extremely easy to shoot. It feels comfortable in my hands, the trigger has a crisp pressure wall (definition below) and I can quickly focus my eyes on the sights. This combination makes the gun easy to shoot accurately and shoot consecutive shots quickly.

Choosing a subcompact Glock for concealed carry often comes down to the choice of Glock 42 or the Glock 43 since those are the most compact of the baby Glocks. Each has their benefits and drawbacks, so it's really up to the person doing the shopping to make the choice.

Along with all the standard models such as the Glock 19 Gen 4, the fourth generation of Glock pistols also introduced the Glock 43. While completely and utterly late to the single-stack subcompact 9mm party, it still became one of their most popular pistols to date.

Just like every other Glock, the G43 has no external safety that will get in the way. Instead, it comes with three passive, independent safeties. This Safe Action System is backed by torture-testing and ensures your G43 only goes off when you pull the trigger.
