Glock built the 43 for people who wanted a thin 9mm they could carry every day. It is a single-stack pistol that disappears under a shirt and still gives you a real caliber. This used example comes with two magazines, a holster, and the factory box.

Having a holster included matters for a carry gun. A good holster covers the trigger, keeps the pistol in place, and lets you draw it smoothly. Check the fit when it arrives, and try it with an unloaded pistol first.

The G43 holds fewer rounds than a double-stack pistol, but the slim size is the trade-off. Two magazines give you a spare for the day, and many owners carry one in the pistol and one on the belt. Take time at the range to learn how the short grip feels. Some shooters like a magazine with a small extension for practice.

Look over a used 43 as you would any Glock. Check the barrel, slide rails, and the frame for cracks or heavy wear. Make sure the trigger resets with a clear click. Count on a short break-in to confirm that the pistol runs with your carry ammunition. The pistol is sold as described, in used condition. It ships to your FFL dealer, where the background check is completed.
