For concealed carry and everyday readiness, selecting a pistol that balances concealability, shootability, and capacity is critical. An upsized micro-compact can solve the common trade-off between grip comfort and a snag-free draw without adding unwanted bulk.

GLOCK G43X blends the compact footprint of the original micro-compact with practical enhancements that matter for daily carry. Shop this product to see current photos and specifications on the Taylor Defense product page.

Design and Handling

The GLOCK G43X is an upsized version of the popular micro-compact G43. It features an enlarged grip that significantly improves handling and grip comfort while increasing magazine capacity to 10 rounds. That larger grip gives more real estate for a full, stable hold — especially valuable for shooters with larger hands or those who prefer a three-finger grip without extended baseplates.

Slide, Finish, and Concealability

The model’s Rose Gold slide finish paired with a Black Cherry frame Cerakote provides both corrosion resistance and a distinctive look that still maintains a low profile for concealment. Importantly, the G43X retains the compact barrel length of the G43, ensuring a quick, snag-free draw from a holster or garment.

Capacity and Components

Included are two 10-round magazines, giving you ready reloads for training and carry. That 10-round capacity is a practical compromise between single-stack concealability and usable defensive firepower for a semi auto in everyday carry configurations.

Fit for Purpose

Where the G43 sometimes felt cramped for shooters seeking consistency under stress, the G43X’s enlarged grip addresses recoil control and rapid follow-up shots while keeping the pistol compact enough for strong concealment options. Whether you favor IWB or minimalist carry, the balance between barrel length and grip size is engineered for reliable deployment.

At a listed price of $488.99, the GLOCK G43X positions itself as a competitively priced option for those upgrading from smaller single-stacks without committing to a full-size service pistol.
