The Glock 43 and 43X pistols are accurate and reliable pistols for shooters that packs the power of the 9 mm round into a small, concealable package. The grip on the pistol has a built-in beaver tail design and the aggressive texture of the frame allows for comfortable grip. The model 43 has a six-round capacity magazine, and the long grip of the 43X allows for a 10-round capacity. The 43 and 43X are great examples of Glock’s commitment to quality and are ready to roll right from the factory, the guns are also easy to upgrade for even more performance.

Faxon’s Match Series pistol barrels for Glock G43/43X are machined 100 percent in-house from stress-relieved 416-R stainless steel. The barrels are then given a black Nitride or PVD coating to increase lubricity, barrel life, and also resistance to surface wear. All barrels are conventionally rifled to allow a wider range of ammunition to be used, including cast lead bullets. The Match Series barrels drop into factory-spec slides with no gunsmithing required, and better-than-factory tolerances ensure a consistent, tighter lockup than the original manufacturer’s barrel. 

These new high-performance barrels are available in either a Chameleon PVD finish, a titanium nitride (TiN) finish and also black nitride. The barrels are available with either an 11 degree target crown or a ½-28 thread with thread protector for use with a suppressor or other muzzle device.
