For concealed carry and everyday defense, shooters increasingly look for a balance between concealability and shootability. A compact platform that improves grip and capacity without sacrificing a snag-free draw can make a meaningful difference for in-service and civilian users alike.

Ergonomics & Handling

The GLOCK G43X (HOTH CUSTOM) takes the proven micro-compact G43 platform and upsizes the grip to improve control without lengthening the slide or barrel. That enlarged grip increases magazine capacity to a practical 10 rounds while maintaining the compact barrel length that supports a fast, snag-free draw from a holster or concealment carry.

Grip Texture and Feel

Shark Coast Tactical’s custom grip texture on this edition enhances purchase under stress and when shooting with less-than-ideal hand placement. The feel is intentionally aggressive enough to stabilize rapid follow-up shots while still remaining comfortable for daily carry.

Slide Work, Optics, and Performance

This special edition features a custom ported slide that reduces muzzle rise and contributes to controllability during fast strings. The slide is cut and compatible with RMSc and 407k/507k style red dot optics — use the included screws exactly as specified to mount an optic securely. That optics-ready capability modernizes the platform for shooters who prefer dot-equipped carry pistols.

Finish, Value, and Recommended Use

The distressed grey Cerakote finish from Shark Coast Tactical gives the pistol a rugged look while protecting key surfaces. At a listed price of $695.99, the GLOCK G43X (HOTH CUSTOM) sits competitively for a carry-ready, optics-capable handgun with bespoke slide work and texture.

Ideal for concealed carriers who want more capacity and better ergonomics without sacrificing a compact footprint, the GLOCK G43X (HOTH CUSTOM) also appeals to shooters upgrading to optics on a proven Glock platform.
