Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Glock 43X single stack?
No, the Glock 43X uses a slightly wider frame than the standard Glock 43, though both are single-stack designs. The 43X offers higher capacity with its proprietary magazines.
Is the Glock 43 double stack?
No, the Glock 43 is a single-stack pistol, which makes it slimmer and easier to conceal than double-stack models like the Glock 19.

Does the color affect durability?
The lilac purple frame undergoes the same rigorous testing as standard Glock frames. The color is molded into the polymer, not painted on, so it won't wear off.
What holsters fit this model?
Any holster designed for the standard Glock 43 will fit this model - the color doesn't affect compatibility. We recommend checking our holster selection.
Is this California compliant?
No, this particular model isn't on California's approved handgun roster. We ship to most other states where legal.
