The G48 (along with the G43X) is threatening to take the place of the G19 as the Goldilocks go-to mid-sized Glock. The availability of 15-round aftermarket magazines from Shield Arms has made it an even more viable option for many Glock fans. But does the G48 really deserve to take over the title of the &#8220;do everything&#8221; Glock? As always, the answer is complicated.<\/p> <p>Details in the video below, or scroll down to read the full transcript.<\/p> <div class=\"entry-content-asset\"><script src=\"https:\/\/fast.wistia.com\/assets\/external\/E-v1.js\" async><\/script><\/p> <noscript class=\"idle-load\"><div class=\"wistia_responsive_padding\" style=\"padding:56.25% 0 0 0;position:relative;\"> <div class=\"wistia_responsive_wrapper\" style=\"height:100%;left:0;position:absolute;top:0;width:100%;\"> <div class=\"wistia_embed wistia_async_beh9lxtxrd dnt=1 videoFoam=true\" style=\"height:100%;position:relative;width:100%\"> <div class=\"wistia_swatch\" style=\"height:100%;left:0;opacity:0;overflow:hidden;position:absolute;top:0;transition:opacity 200ms;width:100%;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fast.wistia.com\/embed\/medias\/beh9lxtxrd\/swatch\" style=\"filter:blur(5px);height:100%;object-fit:contain;width:100%;\" alt=\"\" aria-hidden=\"true\" onload=\"this.parentNode.style.opacity=1;\" \/><\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div><\/noscript> <\/div> <hr \/> <p>I really like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/the-sig-p365-xl-a-really-good-pistol\/\">Sig P365 XL<\/a>. So naturally, a lot of people asked me \u201cWhat about the Glock 48? Or the 43X?\u201d They\u2019re kind of like the Sig. They\u2019re in that not single stack, but not exactly double stack category. Are they any good?<\/p> <p>Yes. Yes, they are.<\/p> <h3><strong>Glock 48 and Glock 43X: The Basics<\/strong><\/h3> <p>Glock launched the 48 alongside the 43X in January of 2019. The two guns share the same frame, but the 48 is longer. The 43X has the same barrel and slide as the original 43. It\u2019s a 3.41-inch barrel. The 48 has a 4.17-inch barrel &#8211; that\u2019s actually just a hair longer than the Glock 19.<\/p> <p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/g43x-vs-g48.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-0\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8383\" src=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/g43x-vs-g48.jpg\" alt=\"Glock 48 versus Glock 43X\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/g43x-vs-g48.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/g43x-vs-g48-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/g43x-vs-g48-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/g43x-vs-g48-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/g43x-vs-g48-350x197.jpg 350w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/p> <p>Both guns feed from a 10-round magazine. But a company called Shield Arms has received considerable attention for their aftermarket 15-round magazines for these guns. All Glock factory magazines are polymer with a metal sleeve inside. The Shield Arms magazine has a simple one-piece metal body. By eliminating that plastic outer layer, there\u2019s room in the magazine for 5 additional rounds without extending the length.<\/p> <p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/mag-comparison.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-1\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8387\" src=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/mag-comparison.jpg\" alt=\"Glock 48 factory mag versus Shield Arms S15\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/mag-comparison.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/mag-comparison-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/mag-comparison-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/mag-comparison-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/mag-comparison-350x197.jpg 350w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/p> <p>These magazines have been in short supply lately and we weren\u2019t able to get one to test until the last minute. From what I understand, if you want these things to run reliably, you really need to install the Shield Arms aluminum magazine release. Apparently, it also helps if you get the optional +10% power magazine springs. When they\u2019re in stock, you can buy five Shield mags, the mag release, and the springs for $225 which averages out to $45 per magazine. So\u2026 still cheaper than buying P365 mags from Sig.<\/p> <p>A lot of Glock fans have been looking at the combo of the 15-round Shield Arms mags with the 48 or 43X as essentially a replacement for their Glock 19. I\u2019ve even heard some of them go so far as to say the G19 is now obsolete. I don\u2019t know if I agree with that, but it\u2019s definitely an interesting development.<\/p> <p>At the range, I can\u2019t tell a whole lot of difference between the 48 and the 43X when I\u2019m shooting them. The 48 weighs two ounces more &#8212; it\u2019s 25.8 ounces loaded versus 23.7 ounces. There is a slight difference in felt recoil but to me, it&#8217;s barely distinguishable. I\u2019ve shot some drills with both guns and the times are almost identical.<\/p> <p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/G48-muzzle-flasht.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-2\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8393\" src=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/G48-muzzle-flasht.jpg\" alt=\"Chris Baker shooting Glock 48 muzzle flash\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/G48-muzzle-flasht.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/G48-muzzle-flasht-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/G48-muzzle-flasht-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/G48-muzzle-flasht-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/G48-muzzle-flasht-350x197.jpg 350w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/p> <p>Even so, given the choice between the two, I would go with the 48, and that\u2019s the one I\u2019m going to focus on for this review. But most of what I\u2019m going to say could also apply to the 43X.<\/p> <p>The longer sight radius makes the Glock 48 a little easier to shoot accurately at longer range. It\u2019s also easier to carry in the appendix position. The longer the barrel, the more the butt of the gun will be levered back in toward your body so it doesn\u2019t print. A very short barrel almost always causes the gun to tip out and away from the waistband. I\u2019ve found that up to about four and a half inches or so, a little extra barrel length doesn\u2019t make any difference in terms of how comfortable the gun is to carry. It\u2019s certainly not any harder to conceal inside the waistband. Since the frame is identical and they shoot pretty much the same, to me, it just makes more sense to carry the 48 over the 43X.<\/p> <p>Of course, you can always just use a shorter gun along with an oversized holster and get most of the same benefit of a longer gun. For example, I\u2019ve been trying out this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.phlsterholsters.com\/shop\/phlster-pro-series-holster\/#select-a-model\">Phlster Pro Series holster<\/a>. It\u2019s made to accommodate the 48, but it will also fit the 43X or even the original 43. This one is open on the bottom so you could even use something like an aftermarket threaded barrel for the 48 and it\u2019ll still fit if you\u2019re into that kind of thing.<\/p> <p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/phlster-pro-g48.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-3\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/phlster-pro-g48.jpg\" alt=\"Phlster Pro Series Holster G48\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/phlster-pro-g48.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/phlster-pro-g48-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/phlster-pro-g48-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/phlster-pro-g48-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/phlster-pro-g48-350x197.jpg 350w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/p> <p>We\u2019ve actually had this 48 for a while now. I picked it up shortly after they came out last year. I\u2019ve been shooting it off and on since then. I&#8217;ve run not quite 1000 rounds through it. No malfunctions, which isn\u2019t really a surprise. I\u2019ve been running it pretty much stock with only a couple of very minor mods. I swapped out the factory plastic Glock sights for a set of Ameriglo i-dot Pro sights. This set was labeled as being compatible with the 42, 43, and 43X. They do more or less work with the 48, but my groups are a couple of inches high at 25 yards.<\/p> <p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/Ameriglo-front-sight.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-4\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8381\" src=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/Ameriglo-front-sight.jpg\" alt=\"Glock 48 with Ameriglo front sight\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/Ameriglo-front-sight.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/Ameriglo-front-sight-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/Ameriglo-front-sight-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/Ameriglo-front-sight-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/Ameriglo-front-sight-350x197.jpg 350w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/p> <p>I\u2019ve also got a Striker Control Device in place of the backplate. I did a whole <a href=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/dont-glock-yourself-a-review-of-the-striker-control-device\/\">video on that last year<\/a> if you want all the details. Basically, when you pull the trigger, the backplate swings outward as the striker presses against it. If you pin that in place with your thumb, it prevents the gun from being discharged. It\u2019s really nice to have when you\u2019re reholstering. Thumbing the hammer has been standard practice for DA\/SA guns for decades and I think it\u2019s really awesome to have that option on the Glocks as well.<\/p> <h3><strong>Glock 48 Size Comparison<\/strong><\/h3> <p>Viewing it from the side, the G48 actually looks a lot like a G19, but when you carry them, or even just handle them, the slimness of the 48 is really apparent.<\/p> <p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/g19-vs-g48.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-5\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8382\" src=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/g19-vs-g48.jpg\" alt=\"Glock 19 and Glock 48\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/g19-vs-g48.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/g19-vs-g48-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/g19-vs-g48-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/g19-vs-g48-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/g19-vs-g48-350x197.jpg 350w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/p> <p>You guys seemed to like the size comparison graphics from last time, so let\u2019s try that again.<\/p> <p>Here\u2019s the G19 and I\u2019ll shade that green so it\u2019s easier to tell them apart. And here\u2019s the G48 overlaid in blue. Again, I\u2019ve got them lined up by the grip tang. The overall length is basically the same &#8212; about a tenth of an inch difference.

The 48 and the 43X look identical from this angle, so I\u2019m just showing the 48 in between the 19 and the 43. Measuring the grips without the mag well, the 19 is a little more than 30% wider than the 48. The 43 and the 48 are the same width at the slide, but obviously the 48 is slightly wider at the grip to accommodate the thicker magazine. Let\u2019s go ahead and add the P365 XL from last time. About the same width as the 48, but a little shorter.<\/p> <p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/width-comparison.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-9\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8391\" src=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/width-comparison.jpg\" alt=\"Glock 43, Sig P365XL, Glock 48, and Glock 19 width\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/width-comparison.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/width-comparison-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/width-comparison-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/width-comparison-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/width-comparison-350x197.jpg 350w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/p> <p>And now let\u2019s go back to the side view. Looking at the 48 next to the P365 XL, this should give you an idea of just how much smaller the Sig feels in the hand. For concealed carry, it\u2019s really this part here [circled in red] that I\u2019m most concerned about.<\/p> <p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/G48-SigP365XL.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-10\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8386\" src=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/G48-SigP365XL.jpg\" alt=\"Glock 48 versus Sig P365 XL\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/G48-SigP365XL.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/G48-SigP365XL-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/G48-SigP365XL-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/G48-SigP365XL-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/G48-SigP365XL-350x197.jpg 350w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/p> <p>The top of the slide and the bottom of the grip are the parts of the gun that are most likely to print. Personally, I tend to have a lot more trouble concealing that bottom corner of the grip. The Sig isn\u2019t just shorter than the 48 &#8212; it swoops in here toward the bottom where the 48 actually bulges out. And then on top of that, the Glock magazine basepad adds a bit more length.<\/p> <p>This little corner here might not seem like a big deal. A lot of you would never notice the difference one way or another if you were to carry these guns. But, you know, I don\u2019t have a whole lot of real estate on my belt. There\u2019s not much room down there to conceal anything. So for me, this extra bit of grip is the difference between whether I can or can\u2019t conceal the gun with minimal effort under just a t-shirt.<\/p> <p>So all of you guys who asked me why I prefer the P365 XL to the Glock 48 or the 43X &#8212; that\u2019s it right there. The way I\u2019ve heard it put is that the Glock 48 feels like a small version of a big gun and the P365 XL feels like a big version of a small gun. That\u2019s in terms of handling and carrying them. At the range, I think they meet somewhere in the middle and couldn\u2019t say that one is inherently much easier to shoot than the other.<\/p> <h3><strong>Glock 48 at the Range<\/strong><\/h3> <p>But I think the question more people have is whether the 48 shoots more like a Glock 19 or like a Glock 43. At first I wasn\u2019t really sure, so I had to put it on the timer. Just like last time, I shot a couple of drills to try and quantify the difference in performance between these guns. I did the Bill Drill &#8212; six shots to the body &#8212; and the Failure Drill &#8212; two to the body, one to the head. Both at seven yards from concealment. I shot both drills four times each with the 19, 48, and the 43.<\/p> <p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/G48-rain.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-11\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8385\" src=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/G48-rain.jpg\" alt=\"shooting Glock 48 in the rain\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/G48-rain.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/G48-rain-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/G48-rain-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/G48-rain-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/G48-rain-350x197.jpg 350w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/p> <p>Bear in mind here, I don\u2019t shoot Glocks particularly well. I have to spend a lot of dedicated practice time shooting Glocks exclusively before I get accustomed to the trigger and the ergonomics. And that\u2019s not something I\u2019ve done in a while. I\u2019m not saying there is anything objectively wrong with Glocks, they\u2019re just not a natural fit for me. So I\u2019m only comparing Glocks with other Glocks here. I\u2019m not pulling in my other drill times from the guns I shot in the last video.<\/p> <p>Okay, so here are my results. I averaged the best three out of four runs for each gun. I also added a quarter second penalty for any shots that landed outside the A-zone. The 43 was clearly the slowest with both drills and it had a slower draw and slower split times. The 19 was faster than the 48 but only by about a tenth of a second on both drills.<\/p> <p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/g48-drills.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-12\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8384\" src=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/g48-drills.jpg\" alt=\"Glock 48 drills results\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/g48-drills.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/g48-drills-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/g48-drills-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/g48-drills-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/g48-drills-350x197.jpg 350w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/p> <p>Just like last time, there is a lot more going on here than the numbers might suggest. It would be easy to jump to the conclusion that there is not a significant difference between shooting the 19 and the 48. But I wouldn\u2019t say that\u2019s necessarily true. With the 19, I basically just did a couple of warm-up runs and then shot the drills. I didn\u2019t have to think much about it.<\/p> <div class=\"mc-shortcode\">     <div class=\"mc-shortcode__carousel\">                                                 <div class=\"mc-shortcode__col-2\"  data-bannerindex=\"1\">                 <div class=\"mc-shortcode__product-container\" onmouseout=\"handleShortCodeProductOut(event);\" onmouseover=\"handleShortCodeProductOver(event);\" >                     <div class=\"mc-shortcode__product\">                         <div class=\"mc-shortcode__product-image\">                             <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-secure.luckygunner.com\/media\/catalog\/product\/cache\/1\/image\/512x\/0e0fe0799a8bb9649ee7e39bcf81d027\/4\/9\/497e783de8eddc8f79aac4b49aff434f_4.jpg\" width=\"70\" height=\"70\" alt=\"product\">                         <\/div>                         <div class=\"mc-shortcode__product-content\">                             <div class=\"mc-shortcode__product-title\">                                 9mm -

But your feelings will lie to you! The moment I slacked off on grip pressure even a little bit or got sloppy with the trigger, this gun started misbehaving. I had to really concentrate on my technique in order to shoot these drills.<\/p> <p>Now, I know for some people, it\u2019s the opposite. They actually find that they shoot the 48 a little better than the 19. Or maybe their performance with the two is equal. I think it really just comes down to how the gun fits in your hand. But like I was saying, you can\u2019t rely on what it feels like when you pick it up. The 48 feels better to me than the 19. I don\u2019t shoot it better.<\/p> <p>For me, part of the problem is that the shorter trigger reach on the 48 positions my finger so that I tend to steer the gun to the left a little bit when I press the trigger if I\u2019m not careful. That\u2019s a problem a lot of people seem to have with Glocks. There\u2019s also less surface area on the grip for me to clamp down on in order to counteract a bad trigger press.<\/p> <p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/Chris-G48.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-13\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8394\" src=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/Chris-G48.jpg\" alt=\"Chris Baker shooting Glock 48\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/Chris-G48.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/Chris-G48-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/Chris-G48-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/Chris-G48-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/Chris-G48-350x197.jpg 350w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/p> <p>An aftermarket trigger with a different shape might fix that right up for me. Or maybe a few thousand rounds of dedicated practice with the 48. The point is that there is no simple answer as to how well the 48 is going to work as a replacement for the 19 for everybody. I think it certainly has potential. If I were trying to choose between the two, I would seriously consider the 48 just because I think it\u2019s quite a bit easier to conceal.<\/p> <p>I have my doubts as to whether guns like the Glock 48 and the Sig P365 will ultimately lead to the demise of the double stack compact pistol as we know it.
