I am really liking my new Glock 45. Feels great in the hand, and not difficult to conceal.
I also ran my G43 this weekend. I’m starting to shoot pretty decent with this little guy.
Short slide, long grip handguns have never made sense to me. Yet, many makers have come out with such models (and continue to do so), often called the “carry” version. If one is going to have a long grip, one might as well have a G48.
I think it's all these skinny folks and their appendix carry.
But I agree with you. I've got a 48, and no desire whatsoever for a 43x. It does seem to me that the 43x sells faster than the 48 in gun shops, despite the fact that Glockbois harangued Glock for a "single stack 19" for years, then kind of ignore it when it finally arrives in the G48.
I'm done with guns that won't fit my pinky. The 43x doesn't add enough grip length to really attract concealment. It's easier to shoot, and significantly increases the magazine capacity.
