Glock 48 Price Guide: What to Pay & Current In-Stock Deals

Glock 48 prices are the long-slide slimline 9mm. Same magazines as a 43X, more barrel, different holster. MOS is the optic fork.

What you are actually buying

The Glock 48 is a slimline, with a longer slide than the 43X pistol in 9mm. Factory magazines are 10 rounds and interchange with the Glock 43X. They do not interchange with the double-stack 19. MOS versions are optic-ready. A non-MOS 48 is iron sights only.

A longer sight radius than the 43X in the same width. Holsters that fit a 43X often do not fit the longer slide. The magazine is the shared part.

Variants worth separating

The 48 is the slimline gun with a barrel length in the neighborhood of a 19 and the thin grip of a 43X. Silver-slide and MOS SKUs are the usual forks. It is not a 19 and it is not a 43.

Who it suits

Carry shooters who want the slim grip and a bit more slide than the 43X. People who want 15 rounds in the factory magazine should be looking at a 19.

What to look for in a deal

MOS versus plain, magazine count, and slide length. A 43X card is the close miss. Confirm the model number. The 48 and the 43X share a magazine and not a holster. Buy the slide length you meant. The wider in-stock set is on Glock deals. If this size is wrong, the Glock 19 is the nearby model. The category board is handgun deals.
