Got a chance to shoot a Glock 48…

I gifted a Glock 17 once but never bought a Glock for myself. LGS has the Model 48 Black for $390 with Homeland Security discount for which I qualify. So that would be for me right around $425 out the door. Seems like a decent deal. Should I....?

Yes you should.

Brownells currently has the Shield mags (15 round/flush fit) for the Glock 48 for 37.99 with LEO discount.

The 43x/48 have a great fell to them. No doubt about it.

Only Glock I had to swap out the trigger on is my G42, my EDC. I went with the Over Watch trigger and it’s a really good trigger. OEM trigger bar and their trigger shoe. Would put one in a G 43x/48, if I owned one, without thinking twice about it.

Lefty

Put $200 towards it yesterday. Last one they had with the Homeland Security discount. Will pick it up within the next couple of weeks. With tax $420.

My 43X MOS was $405.00 plus DROS (State reg fee), sales tax,etc. $425.00 OTD isn’t bad at all .

Stay safe.

. I replaced it with a Vickers flat trigger shoe. That was a piece of cake.

Agree. Vickers trigger face may solve your problem

Thanks for the info guys..... Installed one on my G48 today and really like the trigger,which was the only complaint I had with the pistol.

Glad to hear our trigger suggestion worked out .

Stay safe.

Being heavily invested in Glock 19's and Glock 26's, I really tried to resist the G43X/G48 for as long as I could.

Picked up a Glock 43X last year and it has replaced my other Glocks. I shoot just as accurately with it and it conceals nicely. I added night sights did the Shield Mag conversion. I wish there were some greater than 15rd Shield mags available for it.



I like High Noon for holsters:


The above is there Baseline Holster:

I have a 48 and her smaller sister the 43X, I love them both! My son has the 48 now and I kept the 43X. Both are good shooters, and I kept the 43X as my edc pistol and will be trying to find the best way to CCW.

I put a previously mentioned Shield Arms Mag release and 5, 15 round mags for the 48 and they work great! I kept the 43X with the Glock 10 round mags to keep the weight down.

I had my 43X out today and should cross the 6000 round line in the next month or so. Not a hitch or bobble to date. I plan to do an extensive rebuild after 10,000. Anyone hit that yet? Any excessive wear at that round count?
