Glock 43x 10+1

Sounds like they only made it for a contract requirement, otherwise I don't see them expending the resources nor do I see an advantage over a stock Glock barrel system.

Yeah, there's a puzzlement. Why would a contract stipulate that a mfg engineer something entirely different? Concur entirely; Browning's system works...why mess with it?

The Glock 46 with the Rotary locked barrel was developed for German police. They use a 94gr “green” copper solid that leaves the barrel at 1400 FPS. It is brutal on guns and Glock redesigned their locking system to meet endurance testing requirements with those rounds. Most handguns struggle to meet the criteria and only a handful of pistols have passed the testing to date. The browning system is well tested but it only locks on the top. A rotating barrel locks at opposing sides and can be made stronger because of it.

Not only does this make MORE sense, this is how the 43 should have been introduced in the first place!!!

Thnx, ski. Good explanation. We'll see how it works out, perhaps.

Glock has also applied for US patents on the system, which increases the probability for a US release, but you never know.

I personally am not a fan of the 43, I have one but it only serves as a loner for those wanting to try one out and never gets carried. After running it through some defensive drills I came to realize that for me it is less than ideal for fighting. I shoot the G26 far better in less than optimal real life type scenarios and it has a capacity advantage being able to utilize every Glock 9mm magazine. I get the whole better to have a gun argument and it is no doubt comfortable to carry. For me it would take a great deal of practice to become as proficient with it as I am with my 26/19 and is not worth the training time or the ammo handicap for the slight advantage in comfort.

I understand what you are saying. Mine was purchased for when I genuinely can't carry a double stack. In that role, it's quite sufficient.

These days I only carry my 43 for ultra concealment circumstances. Otherwise I’ve got the 19gen5 mos on me. A 43x might be a good competitor for the p365 but I’d have no use for it.
