Glock 43 Gen 4 Pistol, 9mm Luger, 3.41 inch Barrel

The Glock 43 is a highly popular, ultra-compact striker-fired semi-automatic pistol chambered in 9mm Luger with a 3.41-inch barrel. Engineered during Glock's Gen 4 design era, this single-stack handgun was specifically created to offer maximum concealability for everyday carry without sacrificing the legendary reliability and simple operation of full-sized Glock service pistols. The defining trait of the Glock 43 is its narrow footprint. By abandoning Glock's traditional double-stack magazine layout in favor of a single-column 6-round magazine, Glock reduced the slide width to a mere 0.87 inches. This flat profile minimizes printing and makes it comfortable for deep concealment, even in tight clothing. Despite its small size, the G43 uses a dual recoil spring assembly that dampens the snappy recoil of the 9mm cartridge. It is built to the exact same rugged, utilitarian standards as full-sized duty weapons, ensuring it feeds and fires reliably under harsh conditions.
