Glock 43X MOS Semi-Auto Pistol with Shield RMSc
The GLOCK 43X MOS is a slim, compact, and optics-ready 9mm pistol designed specifically for concealed carry. It builds upon the ultra-concealable G43 by featuring a slightly longer frame that increases both magazine capacity and grip surface, making it more comfortable for shooters with larger hands. It comes from the factory pre-mounted with a Shield RMSc red dot sight for rapid target acquisition, all while maintaining the legendary reliability, simplicity, and familiar ergonomics of a GLOCK.

Comparison: GLOCK 19x vs. GLOCK 43X MOS
This pistol serves a completely different purpose than the GLOCK 19x described previously:
-
GLOCK 19x: A duty/crossover pistol. Prioritizes high capacity (17-19rd magazines), full-size grip control, and ruggedness for military/field use. It’s larger and designed for open carry or duty holsters.
-
GLOCK 43X MOS: A concealed carry pistol. Prioritizes slimness, lightweight design, and deep concealment. It has a lower capacity (10rd magazines) but is much easier to hide under clothing. The included red dot sight is a major advantage for defensive shooting.
