Glock’s New EU Offerings

When Glock Introduced their Slim Line of pistols at SHOT SHOW 2019, Glock fans salivated over the new models. The offering addressed 2 very important issues for the CCW market, magazine capacity and profile. The only complaint was its “girlyman” two-tone finish. Glock people, who owned a G43, immediately substituted the silver slides with the more Glockish black look. Glock came to its senses and in July of 2019, the company released an all black 43X and 48 pistol. Hurray, but wait!

It seems that our EU friends will soon have the Glock 43X Rail and Glock 48 Rail pistols, or at least that’s what the company announced on its EU website. So, could we see G48 Rail and G43X Rail at Shot Show 2020? Only Glock knows, but perfection has its price.
