It would have to be extremely elaborate to be a photoshop as there is an entire article talking about the gun.

So I'm calling it 2 days before the official announcement: Glock 43 = singlestack 9mm.

Also it looks like it says "issue 18" on the side and that is the next issue due out in a week or two I think.

So Glock was lying when it denied the pics on IG were real.
Is that your mag?

 

[LuckyDucky]

No. Which pictures are you talking about? I've seen the one that was a photoshopped promo picture of the slide.

That was it.

 

[mike cyrwus]

yeah that one pics was a photoshop, those recoil pics look authentic. its bigger than I would have hoped for only having 6 rounds.

 

[jtischauser]

I'm with Mike. I wanted the same size as a G42

 

[Matt1911]

I'd like to see it side by side with a shield and a Kahr CW9

 

[poopgiggle]

1. So they made a gun that weighs basically the same as a Shield but costs more and holds fewer rounds. K.

2. It's funny that Glock is now copying the companies that used to copy them.

Er mah gerd..... I think I need one of these puppies.

I seriously doubt the G42 frame would hold up to 9mm, it and the slide are awfully thin in certain areas.

Saw this posted on another forum by a guy that generally knows what he is talking about about glocks. The way it is posted on that forum, it looks as though it came from an email or something similar.

So it's only .16" inches slimmer than a G26 but takes completely different magazines and trigger parts than all my other glocks? I guess being 5oz lighter is a significant advantage, but if I'm only going to have 6rds in a carry gun I'd prefer 6rds of .357 to 9mm or .380. It's so frustrating to practice with a gun that uses 6rd magazines. You have to load the magazine 17 times to run through 100rds in practice.

To me width is my biggest factory in the comfort. The weight comes into play second and is very dependent on the width too. If it weighs more then about 18 oz it starts to require one of the tactical belts that screams, "I have a gun!" which I don't care for.

I already preordered mine through Make Ready Pro Shop

 

[Matt1911]

There are a few companies that make leather belts with kydex inserts, like the Looper ones I got from you Jesse.

 

[jtischauser]

You know I need flashier then Looper bro. Actually I really like the look of well worn leather which is usually pretty soft.

 

[bullittmcqueen]

If Glock's advertizing doesn't convince me to pick one of these up, Jesse posting pics on his IG will!

Drag a belt behind the go fast 3 gun cart at the next match.... worn leather bro.

 

[LuckyDucky]

I saw a rumor that there will be 10rd magazines for it.
