Glock 48 – Glock g48

Glock 48 – Glock g48

The Glock 48 – Glock g48 is a compact, slim-profile 9mm pistol in Glock’s Slimline series. It was designed to combine the concealability of a slim handgun with a longer slide and barrel than the Glock 43X, providing a longer sight radius and balanced handling. The Glock 48 features Glock’s SAFE ACTION® system, a polymer frame, and a 10-round magazine capacity in its standard configuration. It has an overall length of approximately 7.28 inches (185 mm), a 4.17-inch barrel, and a slim width of about 1.10 inches, making it comfortable for a wide range of hand sizes. Glock also offers a MOS (Modular Optic System) variant that supports compatible micro red-dot optics. (GLOCK)

The COA optic is engineered for fast target acquisition and exceptional accuracy, even in demanding conditions. With the A‑CUT interface, the sight is mounted directly into the Gen6 slide without the need for adapter plates, ensuring maximum stability and a low‑mounted sight picture.

The Safe Action^® System is a fully automatic safety system consisting of three passive, independently operating, mechanical safeties. All three safeties disengage sequentially as the trigger is pulled and automatically re-engage when the trigger is released.
