Glock Introduces Slimline Optics-Ready G43X and G48
Glock has just introduced the optics-ready G43X and G48. These pistols are the first of Glock’s slimline models to be available in the Modular Optic System (MOS) configuration. These slim pistol models, chambered in 9x19mm, feature a micro-optic-ready factory-milled slide and a slim rail.
These Glock Ready For Micro Reflex Sights
Reflex optics allow you to look through the reticle and focus on the target and alignment of the dot. The slim design allows the optical sight to be closer to the shooter’s line of sight and eliminates the need for high, back-up sights by allowing visibility of the standard Glock sights through the lens of the compact optic.
With improved accuracy, quicker target acquisition and versatility, MOS pistols have become increasingly more popular for home and self-defense and are an ideal options for confined space operations.
Mount A Light Or Laser Too
A non-standard accessory rail on the optics-ready G43X and G48 allows for a light to be attached with close alignment to the firearm’s bore with positioning in front of the trigger guard which allows the operator to maintain a two-handed grip.
“Engineered with the Glock perfection promise, the two new models are the first slimline pistols to offer an MOS option and are ideal for shooters everywhere,” said Shelby Lasater, Glock, Inc. director of marketing. “The versatility of the slimline MOS models give them the adaptability and ease of use for concealed carry, target shooting, law enforcement, and competition which make them a new favorite.”
Both New Glocks Incorporate Gen 5 Features
Both new models incorporate Gen5 Technologies such as the nDLC finish for extreme durability, a reversible magazine catch and the match-grade Glock Marksman Barrel (GMB) for increased accuracy.
