The Glock 43X combines a compact-size grip length and a subcompact-slim slide for a variety of users. Three safeties disengage sequentially as the trigger is pulled and automatically re-engage when the trigger is released. Features polymer frame with an accessory rail and beavertail; advanced surface treatment of the slide results in optimal hardness by considerably reducing wear and tear and it makes it corrosion resistant; matte surface minimizes light reflection; the extractor serves as a loaded chamber indicator to comply with the laws of certain states and its position may visually and physically indicate whether there is a cartridge in the chamber of the pistol.
