Frequently Asked Questions
Glock 43 FDE for sale
Which is better, Glock 43 or 43X?
The 43X has a longer grip, longer slide, and 10-round magazine versus the 43's 6-round capacity. The 43X shoots more comfortably; the 43 conceals more easily. If capacity and control matter most, choose the 43X. If you need the smallest possible profile, choose the 43.
When did the Glock 43X FDE come out?
Glock introduced the G43X in July 2019. The FDE (Flat Dark Earth) color variant was released shortly after as part of Glock's standard finish options for the Slimline series.
What Glock models come in FDE?
Glock offers FDE in multiple models including the G17, G19, G19X, G42, G43, G43X, and G44. Factory FDE variants feature matching frames and slides with model numbers ending in "4D." Lipsey's also offers exclusive two-tone FDE configurations. Availability varies by retailer and model.
How much does a G43 cost?
The Glock G43 typically costs around $530 to $600, with new listings often at $599.99 and average pricing ranging from $450 to $550. Price varies by finish, sights, and retailer. The similar G43X, which holds 10 rounds versus the G43's 6, commands comparable pricing.
How much is a used Glock 43 worth today?
Used Glock 43 pistols typically sell for $180–$330 depending on condition. Low round count, original box, and extra magazines push prices toward the higher end. Heavily worn examples sell closer to $180. Aftermarket modifications can raise or lower value depending on the buyer.
What frame is compatible with Glock 43?
The Glock 43X and 48 share frame compatibility with the 43. Third-party manufacturers like SCT Manufacturing offer serialized aftermarket frames compatible with 43X/48 components and magazines. Aftermarket frames must be transferred through a licensed FFL dealer.
Do the Glock 43 and 43X have the same frame?
No. The 43X has a wider, longer grip frame than the 43, and their magazines are not interchangeable. However, the slides are 100% interchangeable between the two pistols.
Is the 43X thicker than the 43?
Yes, the 43X is slightly thicker, measuring 1.10 inches wide compared to the 43's 1.06 inches—a difference of 0.04 inches. The added width accommodates a longer grip, which improves control and allows for higher magazine capacity.
Can you get a Glock 43 MOS?
No standard Glock 43 MOS exists. Glock offers the G43X MOS, which features slide cuts for micro-optics mounting. It typically retails around $529.99, with prices ranging from $452.76 to $619.98 across multiple retailers.
What magazine fits a Glock 43?
The Glock 43 uses single-stack 9mm magazines specific to its slimline frame. Factory Glock 43 magazines hold 6 rounds. Standard double-stack Glock magazines won't fit. The Shield Arms S15 magazine works in the G43X, not the standard G43, and holds 15 rounds.
Can extended mags damage my Glock 43?
Extended magazines won't damage your Glock 43's frame or internals. Some shooters report feeding malfunctions with aftermarket extensions, but these typically stem from grip pressure on the magazine during shooting rather than the extension itself. Avoid squeezing the extended portion while firing and test for reliability.
Can Glock 43 use 43X mags?
No. The Glock 43 and 43X use different magazine designs that are not interchangeable. Factory 43X magazines will not fit or function in a 43 frame. Shield Arms makes aftermarket steel magazines for the 43X, but no aftermarket solution makes 43X mags compatible with the 43.
What is the highest capacity magazine for Glock 43?
Standard Glock 43 magazines hold 6 rounds. Extended aftermarket options, such as those from Shield Arms, reach 9 rounds. The Glock 43X accepts 10-round magazines but uses a different, wider frame. For the standard 43, 9 rounds is the practical maximum available.
Is the Glock 43 reliable?
The Glock 43 is generally considered very reliable. It uses Glock's proven striker-fired design and functions well with standard ammunition when properly maintained. Most owners and reviewers report consistent performance, making it a popular concealed carry choice. Use quality ammunition and clean it regularly.
Is the Glock 43 too big for pocket carry?
The Glock 43 is borderline for pocket carry. It fits most front pants pockets but prints noticeably and feels snug. A quality pocket holster helps. If pocket carry is your primary method, smaller options like the Ruger LCP or S&W 642 conceal more easily.
