One of today's most-popular concealed-carry guns is the Glock G19. Thanks to the lengthened slide and barrel on the new Glock G48, the sight radius between the two guns is nearly identical, as well as the height of the grip frame. For those looking for a slimmer, more-compact concealed-carry option, the new G48 offers that without giving up the accuracy benefits of the lengthened sight radius. In short, it's basically a single-stack G19.

For all the details behind the new Glock G48, check out our video above.
