Glock 48 Review | Why the Glock 48 is the Best CCW:

"When I choose a CCW, I always look for the same attributes; concealability, practicality, reliability, weight, and performance."
'The Glock 48 Slimline is built with the best of the Gen 5 features, such as the Glock Marksman's Barrel (GMB), the shortened trigger distance, reversible mag release, and the enhanced beavertail to prevent slide bite. Overall, the feel of the G48 is almost exactly like the Glock 43X except for its 1.16 lbs instead of 1.02 lbs (Without Mag). I know many people always want the lightest gun possible, but the added weight of the Glock 48 feels better to me. ... a little more sturdy in my hand than the Glock 43X."
"With the two Glocks being the same in almost every aspect, the G48 separates itself with a longer barrel, heavier weight, and better line of sight."
"Make sure you oil the barrel inside and out before you shoot to get the best performance. "
"The thin slide allows me to pull faster than a Glock 19 ..."
Range Report: Glock 48 Pistol:
"The 48 is, more or less, the "full size'" version of Glock's popular 43 single-stack subcompact, with a longer grip, a 10-round magazine and a 4.1" barrel. Another way to look at it is that the 48 is a single-stack, thin version of the popular double-stack Model 19, being similar in most dimensions other than thickness (1.10" vs 1.26").""The bottom line assessment is that the 48 shoots big and carries small, an achievement in a world of compromises that allows one to have most of the cake while eating a good chunk of it also."
"I was able to consistently go five for five on an 8" plate at 35 yards while keeping a practical tempo to break each shot in four to five seconds. Hitting the steel was possible out to 40, it just took more time and discipline to ring it compared to a full-sized pistol."
"I pushed the 48 across a number of practical drills and in most cases my times or scores were about 10 percent behind well set up full sized pistols and a good 30 percent ahead of the subcompact class."
'The extra length of the frame allowed me to acquire a very positive grasp on the pistol to begin the drawstroke and my times at seven yards were essentially no different than what I average with midsized pistols. The first 10 attempts with the 48/Velo ranged from 1.01 to 1.22 second and averaged 1.07. I've struggled to get that kind of speed out of the six and seven shot subcompacts, where I am usually consistent with positive control near 1.45 and down to 1.25 when things come together. This extra control, speed, and consistency from the holster is a significant upside ..."
"It is remarkably close in overall dimensions to the classic Colt 1903 Pocket Hammerless, an iconic and well regarded concealed carry semi-automatic from long ago. The Glock is actually lighter by an ounce than the Colt fully loaded and only .05" thicker through the slide, while being thinner through the grip."
