Glock 43 is one of the most popular handguns by Glock. Introduced in mid-2015, Glock 43 is a semi-automatic hand-carry pistol with gas nitrate finish polymer frame and grips. The gas nitrate finish of this gun helps to control the part distortion that occurs due to overheating. The beavertail design on the grip helps the shooter to achieve maximum control and accuracy. This ultra-concealable single stack gun holds 9mm Luger caliber and is perfect equipment for all types of shooters regardless of hand size. The magazine of this gun can hold 6 rounds. You can find Glock 43 for sale in many online stores. The dimensions of Glock 43 give a nice look and the design is almost similar to other Glock handguns. It is considerably thinner and shorter than other 9mm Glock handguns. Finger grooves are not provided on this handgun, but rear serrations are provided for better grip.
