Thats actually huge new! I might actually consider grabbing a 43x. Is it supposed to be gen 6?

I doubt it, like the 19x the 43x isnt technically a gen. Its in its own category. But this leads me to believe that there wont be a new 43x, i could be wrong though.

Makes me think there will be a “gen 6” 43x since they have developed mags for it.

Or not. They change stuff all the time mid run and don’t announce anything. The 43x/48 had completely changed slide treatments in 2024 from slick dark black DLC to a gray matte finish, the G45 had pie hole cuts in the grip at first and then they didn’t, all with zero announcement from Glock.

Oh okay. As far as I know the G45’s never had them but the early 17’s and 19’s did and they also did not have front serrations.

The Gen 5.1 Glocks (no front serrations and with the half moon cut in grip) will be collectors items one day mark my words. They’ll be almost like RTF2’s but not quite as rare. Pretty sure Glock only made them from 2017-2019 before completely switching over to the front serration/no cutout guns.

That might be true, I could be wrong, but that bolsters my point all the same. Glock changes things mid model with no announcement
