This video is definite proof that longer barrels make a massive difference in the shooters ability to be accurate. I was stuck deciding the other day when I traded in my G43 to go either 43X or 48. When I took the 48 to the range I knew for SURE that I made the right choice.
Glock and iphones are similar, they both come out with new products that are all hype with a bit more glamour when their older products are just as good
Just as good? More like "better", should have gone cheaper, not more superfluous bells and whistles. What about a Glock with a threaded barrel, RmR cut and night sites out of the box?
I believe a Glock rep mentioned the 48 was designed specifically for the Canadian Market (exactly smallest legal barrel and highest legal mag cap here)
Gotta say, Canadian lawmakers must have great taste in guns, because the Glock 48 is perfectly sized for both carry and shooting. I dislike 3 inch barrels on a carry gun. The G48 is just perfectly sized and ergonomic. If it were any smaller, I don’t think I’d enjoy shooting it as much. Here in the US, I have my pick of micro 9 mm and I choose the G48 too. It also has more than adequate capacity for any civilian purpose.
I invested in a G48, it's my main carry gun and I love it. It fits perfect in my hand, single stack is very comfortable, I love the two tone and it's a glock !!
Carry a 19 aiwb but summer months it prints enough to bother me (wife says you don’t notice unless that’s what you’re looking for) so I’m looking into the 48. Was going 43x but everyone keeps saying stick with 48.
@@anthonypettinelli1354 This maybe different if you carry aiwb, but I personally find that the added slide length of the 48 is more comfortable where I carry, than the shorter slide of the 43x. I don't have a 43x, but I do have a P365 and my g48 is more comfortable than the 365 as the shorter slide digs into my hip, the 48 doesn't. But this may be totally the opposite for aiwb. Maybe the shorter slide would be better for that.
Glock definitely made the g48 with the Canadian market in mind. Up here we have to have a minimum barrel length of 4.15” and mag capacity is restricted to 10 rounds and it just so happens the 48 has a 4.17” barrel and 10 round capacity. Hell ya glock!
Its not cheap, but the shield flush fit mags can be upgraded with spring kits and +1 extenders from MagGuts to hold 10 rounds while only being about 1/4" longer.
I have a Shield and I think you might be wrong. A Shield's 8round mag is as long as my others' 10round double stack mag and you claim to add +2 with while being smaller still? Highly suspect. I'm unto you, guy.
I wonder how Eric would feel today about the Gl9ck 48 MOS with PSA 15-round magazine! 😊 I've got a Micro Dagger C-1 and I love it, 400 rounds down range with no issues!
It's an ideal ccw for individuals that find themselves more commonly wearing gym attire or summer clothing that's less baggy. I run the 19, 17, and 48 based off clothing for the day. The Glock store also has mag extensions.
Tanman 787 it's for our brothers on the front lines who when stuck in a blue state don't run from it but take it over back to the people from the inside. Instead of Californian my Texas or my US. They Texas California. Erradicate the deep state. Power to the people.
The 19 is an excellent concealed carry gun. I can see a role for the 48 in states that limit magazine capacity to ten rounds--if you're carrying a 9mm, might as well get a thin one. But I'll stick to my 19.
Where you don't have magazine capacity restrictions, you can get the Shield Arms S15 flush mags and get the same number of rounds as the Glock 19, in a slimmer frame. You can get 20 rounders for this pistol too.
For me the 48 is very comfortable and shoots great. I will always love my 19, but sometimes if I want to travel a little lighter the 48 is a great choice for a close enough shooting experience.
Just dicks finding shit to bitch about!! I find shit to bitch about and these new models may have been something I bitched about in the past. But you see a year later and after handling the 43x and 48, it was a must buy!! The best feeling Glocks to me!! It really is simple, if it’s not for you just don’t buy. But at least try handling one before you make a final determination on it.
I just got the 11:15 mark and, Eric, you said you'd rather just carry a 19. I can attest that the slim profile of the 48 over the 19 has a made a massive difference in my ability to comfortably carry. I used to carry a G19 before I went to the 43 (now 48). The 19 was always in my way because of the thickness. The G48, so far, has worked perfectly for me carrying at the 3 oclock strong side IWB. It stays out of the way in situations where the 19 would bump around.
And now you can get 15 round steel mags that are the same exact size as Glock's OEM 10 rounders. Shield Arms S15. Check them out if you haven't yet. They make +5 extensions too for a 20 round capacity. I've been a Glock 19 guy for a good while, but I'm seriously thinking about making the switch to the Glock 48 since I heard about these.
The 48 replaced my 19 for CCW the grip on the 48 fits my hand better. My accuracy is better along with speed on follow up shots. I took a defensive pistol class last year with my 19. I took the same class last week with the 48 and the results were better with the 48.
Yeah people keep saying why not just use a 19 and this is the exact reason, thinner so it conceals a little easier, a different grip profile which is good for people like me who hate double stack glock grips. If the difference in size makes you shoot better then I’d say it’s the better carry option for you.
This is the most interesting of the Glocks in the last 10 years. I sold my G 43 several years ago because I thought the grip was a too small for me. But I did like the slim profile compared to my G17c, G22, and G27. I really like the simplicity of the Glock designs.
2:22 not a critique of Chad’s shooting but I’m curious what order you all repeating your firing process: Break shot, recoil, trigger reset, reverify front sight alignment, break shot Or, break shot, recoil, reverifty front sight alignment, trigger reset, break shot. Something I noticed at the range today is that I do the second option naturally, but the RSO (who instructs part time) had me drill doing the first option. It actually shaved a little time and kept my grip a bit more firm while slow firing a full mag. Just a thought! Give it a try and tweak your form where needed.
Another Glock? Same old routine with different numbers. Pretty soon we will all get to see the long anticipated Glock 553 Z. Spoiler alert, it will be identical to the Glock 19.
Yep. My Bersa BP9 is tits. 2000+ rnds, no hiccups. Trigger is as great or better than my PPQ, which is almost as good as my best 1911s. Happy shooting everyone.
When is Glock going to come out with their "GR" series. That's translates to glock revolvers, it just seems the most logical name. I want to see glock make a revolver.
It's actually intended to be a State compliant 19. Why do you want a 19 that's that thick with a ten round mag? So........ BUT also the barrel upgrade, the front serrations are all the better. And the two tone is cool.
Eric... Over 6 years have passed. Where is the mosin advanced trigger job video? My mosin is still waiting. (I actually bought it today, but it's been waiting a few hours!)
I learned something with a laser on a pistol. I found I had more control if I bend my elbows a touch, not lock them out. Jut playing with it in the house younger year, slide completely off to keep from freaking my mom out. it seems things are more stable if you dont lock out, like snow boarding, or skiing ... more stable ....the laser shown me that... try it. It was an experiment. the dot was much more stable on aim than locked out. To this day, i still keep mine tight, nut not locked, almost tucked elbows. or at least relaxed. This gun is not gonna bite you in the face. Relax.
I handled one of these at Green Top the other day. Honestly the only glock that I've ever really liked. The grip was good in my hand and it was just the perfect size for my skinny frame.
The thin size, and 10 round capacity is great. 15 rounds is all good, but I don’t think everyone wants to carry that many, so with the new thinness and weight that seems like a really good carry gun
With Shield Arms S15 mags, you can get 15 round flush mags in the same space as a 10 rounder from Glock. They also offer +5 extensions so you can carry 20 rounds and only stick out a little bit.

I wouldn't say the Glock 19 is obsolete, but...
@@GreenIris1110 I haven't held any of the single stack Glocks. I was hoping that the 48 would provide a more comfortable (shorter) trigger distance for my wife's small hands. She's fine with 10 + 1 if she'll be more comfortable with the thinner grip... Gotta see!
Good video! However, I'm not a huge Glock fan, but not to say I won't shoot one. I like the Aguila 9mm ammo. I've run about 400 rounds through my canik and not one issue so far.
Since I’m an EMT there’s a local gun store with these on sale for 360 dollars brand new. I’m in love with it, and I’m just deciding if it’s what I want.
This is basically a Canadian G19, 10 rounds, barrel length of 106mm (the shortest legal barrel length in Canada), all in the same format as a G19 which is prohibited by it's barrel length
@@johndubinsky8415 Canada is the 2nd highest commercial Glock market after the US, thus the 106mm barrel, the smallest length that's legal in Canada As for home defense, Canada is a really grey country in that regard
I carry my 48 appendix with no holster in my basketball shorts and sweat pants no problem. As long as they have a draw string your good. It's so slim even wearing tight shirts it doesn't print much it's really a great cc gun
Not a fan of the skinny Glocks, or single stack pistols in general. But variety is the spice of life. Great video guys. Chad-- great hair, don't let the haters get you down.
Ive been shooting my g43x for a month now. Bought a rmrcc for it just recently. And before i get the slide cut and cross point of no return I figured id checkout the 48. Haven’t shot it yet but thinking im going to pick one up!
I have this same Glock. I’m very impressed with it to say the least. Even more I indeed wish they would do a similar single stack model in .40 S&W. They also need to finally do the .40 in a +P and +P+ load(s). Long overdue.
I am a very slim guy (waist size at 29") and the only gun size issue I have with concealing a firearm is the length if the grip. Being thinner wouldn't make much of a difference imo
The stoppage wasn't a "failure to feed." It was the slide locked open, likely caused by your support hand high grip. It wasn't the gun. It was you. Moving forward...
*Something to think about* Sells show how much the general public like/wants the firearm. *1st* the Glock 17 in the early 1980 became a top seller for Glock & a cult classic *2nd* the Glock 19 over took the G17 as a best seller due to it form factor, it was easier to carry basically & just as accurate at CCW distances. *3rd* recently in the last few years the Glock 43 has started to become Glock's best seller. *4th* Now the Glock 43X & Glock 48 are out. *The G43X seem to be, for now the number 1 Glock in sells.* According to Lenny Mcgill of *The Glock Store* he said the G43X outsells the G48 (3 to 1). For every one (1) Glock 48 sold, there (3) Glock 43X's are bought. *5th* Conclusion in the above contest: Glock 43X vs Glock 48 vs Glock 43 The *Glock 43X* wins by sells and thus in popularity.
*Model 50 (32 GAP)* The Model 48 is a very good size, though I don't like the silver colored slide or forward slide serrations near the muzzle. I prefer the Model 19 as it fits my hand well and has a markedly higher magazine capacity, but for people with smaller hands a Model 48 makes a lot of sense, though if people with small hands also have hand strength issues then the 9x19mm round will have too much recoil for optimum control. I would like to see Glock introduce a variant with a high capacity 17 round magazine in '32 GAP' - a lengthened (22mm case) high pressure version of the .32 ACP round (60-gr bullet at 1,500-fps) - tentatively called the 'Model 50', which would have much of the performance of the 9mm round but with markedly less recoil (much as the .327 Fed Mag has much of the performance of the .357 Mag but with markedly less recoil), along with a Model 43 sized variant with a 12 round magazine, and a high capacity 25 round magazine that both can use. It should also have a rail like on the Model 19 so it needs a full length frame.
Would the G44 make a good trainer for the G48? I have the G44 (love it) and am considering replacing my Hellcat OSP (a little too snappy and slow follow up shots) for a Glock 9mm, I love the G19 but it does feel a little wide for comfortable long term carry. Thoughts?
Have you guys shot more of the 43x? Does it "bite" your finger like Hickock45 mentioned? The negative about the 43x, was that just an off day shooting for you 2?
According to Glock, the 48's trigger is a 2 N (7 OZ) lighter. Do you feel the 48's trigger is better than the 19's? How about the reset distance? Same as the 19?
It seems like Eric doesn't want to like the 48, his already decided in his head he doesn't like it before he shot it, Chad is optimistic af and I appreciate that, the glock 48 might be silly but the front serrations and capacity are already better than a 43 and the grip in my opinion feels much more comfortable than a 19
I just put some cash down in one today. My first pistol. I figured, it’s California and the mag limit is 10. So if I’m gonna get a 10 round mag, i may as well have some a little thinner. And i am 5’8-9” so it feels great in the hands. And mine is all black
Is the slide on this pistol easy or difficult to rack? I've found that the G19 is easy enough, but I've had trouble with the 43X. While I've enjoyed shooting the 19, it's a bit big for my hands. I'm considering trying either this or the 43X, or maybe both, next time I visit the range. As of right now, I've chosen the P365XL as my first carry gun, but I'm looking for a Glock pistol for a secondary all-purpose gun (carry, practice, SHTF, etc.) I've considered this one since I've heard good things about it from both men & women alike, but I'm not completely sold on it yet due to the lower capacity compared to the XL. PSA is supposed to be coming out with Micro-Dagger mags that will be compatible with both the G43X and the G48 without having to change the mag release. If they prove to be reliable, I just might go with either one.
@iraqveteran8888 i normally agree with you guys all the time, but I carry a 19 with a TLR1HL and I'm about chads height and weight and I don't even notice I have it on sometimes. Its perfect for appendix... I used to carry a shield, but after some training i discovered it's difficult to manipulate such a tiny gun under severe stress. the 19 is the perfect size for me for appendix carry.
I’ve never minded the extra inch down my pants... That’s what I say to customers haha. The 48 will be a great seller for Glock we have sold 100 since January
Honestly I don't know why glock made this gun. I have held it and the 19. The 19 doesn't feel much different and is about the same profile to conceal plus it holds 15+1 instead of 10+1. My 365 holds 12+1 and it is way smaller than the 48.
Okay Glock. You win the pistol game. You make a pistol for practically any occasion and situation. Now, make a rifle. Please.

I travel alot some states I go to cant carry more than 10 rounds so this pistol is perfect for what I need
I love my Glock 48. Y’all can hate glock all you want but I have a gun that will go POW! When I need it without thinking twice.
Glock haters make me laugh. They can't accept glocks are the best you can buy.
How about a top 5 (or 10) .380 concealed carry pistols
paleryder gross
I'm interested in a 48 for my wife. I'm hoping that the thinner grip will be a better fit for her than the 19...
Rick Quist noone : i need less capacity
absolutely effing no one: lets save a 16th of a inch in width
Glock: let's do a single stack 9 mm
@@GreenIris1110
I haven't held any of the single stack Glocks. I was hoping that the 48 would provide a more comfortable (shorter) trigger distance for my wife's small hands. She's fine with 10 + 1 if she'll be more comfortable with the thinner grip...
Gotta see!
Good video! However, I'm not a huge Glock fan, but not to say I won't shoot one. I like the Aguila 9mm ammo. I've run about 400 rounds through my canik and not one issue so far.
Since I’m an EMT there’s a local gun store with these on sale for 360 dollars brand new. I’m in love with it, and I’m just deciding if it’s what I want.
Typical glock workmanship greater with chunkier handle and length of grips. Great firearm all round
Looks like a nice pistol. Glock makes one for every niche these days. I'd love to see Glock make some pistol caliber carbines next.
Say Chad are you going Brady Bunch on us with the Mike Brady Doo and the leisure suit? Very retro!!
Got one on the way!! Can't wait!!!
This is basically a Canadian G19, 10 rounds, barrel length of 106mm (the shortest legal barrel length in Canada), all in the same format as a G19 which is prohibited by it's barrel length
Wait. They have guns in Canada? Asked a friend of mine from Newfoundland his home defense is a hocky stick...
@@johndubinsky8415 Canada is the 2nd highest commercial Glock market after the US, thus the 106mm barrel, the smallest length that's legal in Canada
As for home defense, Canada is a really grey country in that regard
@@D34THC10CK
Commercial... So military and police only. Everone else syrup squirt guns lol. Jk actually saw shotty i want off a Canadian reveiw
@@johndubinsky8415 admittedly shotguns are one of the few good things about Canadian law, for 150$ you can buy a 12 inch barreled 12 gauge!
When did John Mayer become a guest on this channel?!?! 😆
I carry my 48 appendix with no holster in my basketball shorts and sweat pants no problem. As long as they have a draw string your good. It's so slim even wearing tight shirts it doesn't print much it's really a great cc gun
You appendix carry a 48 with no holster? Not sure if that’s bravery or Darwinism at work.
I like the look of the fde finish. Nice grouping and distance. Eric teach some hand to hand to chad so he cuts his hair
Not a fan of the skinny Glocks, or single stack pistols in general. But variety is the spice of life. Great video guys. Chad-- great hair, don't let the haters get you down.
Ive been shooting my g43x for a month now. Bought a rmrcc for it just recently. And before i get the slide cut and cross point of no return I figured id checkout the 48. Haven’t shot it yet but thinking im going to pick one up!
Is Chad wearing his tactical range slippers?
glad somebody got a review out on this one. thanks, great vid.
I have this same Glock. I’m very impressed with it to say the least. Even more I indeed wish they would do a similar single stack model in .40 S&W. They also need to finally do the .40 in a +P and +P+ load(s). Long overdue.
I am a very slim guy (waist size at 29") and the only gun size issue I have with concealing a firearm is the length if the grip. Being thinner wouldn't make much of a difference imo
Just gain weight.
The stoppage wasn't a "failure to feed." It was the slide locked open, likely caused by your support hand high grip. It wasn't the gun. It was you. Moving forward...
*Something to think about*
Sells show how much the general public like/wants the firearm.
*1st* the Glock 17 in the early 1980 became a top seller for Glock & a cult classic
*2nd* the Glock 19 over took the G17 as a best seller due to it form factor, it was easier to carry basically & just as accurate at CCW distances.
*3rd* recently in the last few years the Glock 43 has started to become Glock's best seller.
*4th* Now the Glock 43X & Glock 48 are out. *The G43X seem to be, for now the number 1 Glock in sells.*
According to Lenny Mcgill of *The Glock Store* he said the G43X outsells the G48 (3 to 1).
For every one (1) Glock 48 sold, there (3) Glock 43X's are bought.
*5th* Conclusion in the above contest: Glock 43X vs Glock 48 vs Glock 43
The *Glock 43X* wins by sells and thus in popularity.
*Model 50 (32 GAP)*
The Model 48 is a very good size, though I don't like the silver colored slide or forward slide serrations near the muzzle. I prefer the Model 19 as it fits my hand well and has a markedly higher magazine capacity, but for people with smaller hands a Model 48 makes a lot of sense, though if people with small hands also have hand strength issues then the 9x19mm round will have too much recoil for optimum control. I would like to see Glock introduce a variant with a high capacity 17 round magazine in '32 GAP' - a lengthened (22mm case) high pressure version of the .32 ACP round (60-gr bullet at 1,500-fps) - tentatively called the 'Model 50', which would have much of the performance of the 9mm round but with markedly less recoil (much as the .327 Fed Mag has much of the performance of the .357 Mag but with markedly less recoil), along with a Model 43 sized variant with a 12 round magazine, and a high capacity 25 round magazine that both can use. It should also have a rail like on the Model 19 so it needs a full length frame.
Would the G44 make a good trainer for the G48? I have the G44 (love it) and am considering replacing my Hellcat OSP (a little too snappy and slow follow up shots) for a Glock 9mm, I love the G19 but it does feel a little wide for comfortable long term carry. Thoughts?
Whoa... you look so freaking different with that hair and no hat. It's like a brand new channel.
Just a suggestion Glock
Make a Glock 57
Chambered in 5.7x28mm
An FN killer, something a little different
a 600 dollar five seven
@@AndrewGSXE absolutley
Ruger took that idea
Looks like Chad is slowly turning into Eric Haha!
I’m wondering if they are brothers seriously
Have you guys shot more of the 43x? Does it "bite" your finger like Hickock45 mentioned? The negative about the 43x, was that just an off day shooting for you 2?
Is there a way to clean off the burn marks that the front of the slide and barrel tends to get on the 48?
That hole under bottom does that act as a compensater to help with barrel rise seems easier to handle
According to Glock, the 48's trigger is a 2 N (7 OZ) lighter. Do you feel the 48's trigger is better than the 19's? How about the reset distance? Same as the 19?
It seems like Eric doesn't want to like the 48, his already decided in his head he doesn't like it before he shot it, Chad is optimistic af and I appreciate that, the glock 48 might be silly but the front serrations and capacity are already better than a 43 and the grip in my opinion feels much more comfortable than a 19
I just put some cash down in one today. My first pistol. I figured, it’s California and the mag limit is 10. So if I’m gonna get a 10 round mag, i may as well have some a little thinner. And i am 5’8-9” so it feels great in the hands. And mine is all black
I’m with Eric on this one why not just use a 19
Some states only allow so much mag capacity if you're going the legal route of carry
@@Vic_CruzN91026 It's a Canadians dream come true - with it's ability to meet the required minimum bbl length.
Because they have 15 round magazines
Please god, put the hat back on brother Chad
Can you do a video on the accuracy testing for UTM man marker ammo? That would be really interesting to see the effective range
Things have changed with after market 15 Round mags now!
They make after market 15 rd magazines need to come back to this with them 👍🇺🇸 want to know your thoughts on shield arms ? 15 rd mags great video 👍
Professor Chad............ here we go
s15 mags resolve the less rounds in a g48 vs g19
You should do a video on the Canik Tp9sf
Ive seen the 48 slide on a 43 before. Right when the 48 was released. What was your problem with it ? I was sure they were compatible.
Chad got them perfect hair for jerry curls
@BWM Dang right.
Is the slide on this pistol easy or difficult to rack? I've found that the G19 is easy enough, but I've had trouble with the 43X. While I've enjoyed shooting the 19, it's a bit big for my hands. I'm considering trying either this or the 43X, or maybe both, next time I visit the range. As of right now, I've chosen the P365XL as my first carry gun, but I'm looking for a Glock pistol for a secondary all-purpose gun (carry, practice, SHTF, etc.) I've considered this one since I've heard good things about it from both men & women alike, but I'm not completely sold on it yet due to the lower capacity compared to the XL. PSA is supposed to be coming out with Micro-Dagger mags that will be compatible with both the G43X and the G48 without having to change the mag release. If they prove to be reliable, I just might go with either one.
I heard the was an aftermarket steel magazine for the G48 that holds a double stack of 15 rounds...is it true and who makes it?
Did you try the 17c in fast shooting condition with "connecteur - " ?
Gave the 43X to my wife bought a 48 and sold the shield I had sitting in the safe 😂😂😂
i'm not a fan of glocks but this one does intrigue me i'm gonna have to do a rental try it out at the range see how well it fits, works for me :-)
The slide does work on the 43 frame...ive done it
Finally the Glock 48 and finally one of the firt comments ;-)
Thanks for the grat videos guys, greetings from austria!
@iraqveteran8888 i normally agree with you guys all the time, but I carry a 19 with a TLR1HL and I'm about chads height and weight and I don't even notice I have it on sometimes. Its perfect for appendix... I used to carry a shield, but after some training i discovered it's difficult to manipulate such a tiny gun under severe stress. the 19 is the perfect size for me for appendix carry.
I picked up a 48 yesterday. What took me so long? New subscriber.
I’ve never minded the extra inch down my pants... That’s what I say to customers haha. The 48 will be a great seller for Glock we have sold 100 since January
I'd probably go with the black Glock 48.
Honestly I don't know why glock made this gun. I have held it and the 19. The 19 doesn't feel much different and is about the same profile to conceal plus it holds 15+1 instead of 10+1. My 365 holds 12+1 and it is way smaller than the 48.
Partially for the Canadian market, where we're limited to 10 rounds, and 4.16" barrel minimum.
Does it have the same shitting coating that rusts like the glock 42/43s?
How does the finish on the slide hold up on the silver slide?
