  • The Glock 48 is part of Glock's slim line of 9mm pistols. Similar in size to the infamous Glock 19, the Glock 48 is a full .2" narrower and 3 ounces lighter. The G48 comes with two 10 round magazines from the factory, but a company Shield Arms has 15rd magazines called the S15. The Shield S15 mags have worked well for me in the G48, though others have complained about reliability issues. If you're in the market for a micro compact carry pistol, check out the Glock 48.

    Just got me the Glock 48 and it’s my first Glock ever. I love it.. fits me perfect and seems very solid plus fits my size perfect for conceal.. I recommend anyone wanting to try a Glock that doesn’t want a large grip to go with the 48

    Picked up my Glock 48 MOS nearly 3 months ago and ran nearly 500 rounds through it. While I'm personally not a Glock "fanboy," but I will give credit to its reliability, and it satisfies my desire to keep my EDC kit minimalistic. So far, so good!
    Also, it's pretty cool that your boy is out training with you! It's humbling to see people of various age groups training!

    Just got one today! I have owned a 19 for about a year now and have not really loved it, the 48 came with Ameriglo sights and a upgraded trigger, went out tonight and forgot about the night sights and was amazed at how well they stood out! I love this gun!

    I've tried the G48 at a range recently, and I really liked it for how it well it balanced usability with having a slim and compact form. I shot a G17 before and it seemed like I was holding and shooting something made from Lego Duplo. I'd definitely consider this pistol for a concealed carry in something like a waistband holster. I have larger hands and it still felt I got a good handle on it, though it was obviously a bit more snappy with the recoil than a heavier pistol. I didn't mind the trigger pull or the sights either, I was able to get some good groupings at 10m on my first mag.

    I have a gen 1 48, with the OG two tone grey slide.
    Absolutely love this gun and with the two shield arms magazines I have it really pushes it to the next level.
    absolutely love it for EDC, its so light and slim I barely feel it, and the draw speed is lighting fast! (with years of dry fire training)
    I also have a 5" 2.0 S&W break glass in case of WW3 haha

    I've got the 48 MOS with factory night sights and a TRL-7 sub on it, was a brand new blue label gun from an ex-cop who went with something else.
    The factory sights are a little less bright than an Ameriglo spartan type, but I find that huge glow distracting.
    These are just so much more comfortable than a Glock 19/23 of you carry all day in the heat.
    The light is a must, I also had a lasermax on my old gun and I'll probably get one here. For triggers the best going is Overwatch. These facrory triggers are a little stiff for a reason though, it's a carry design.
    I've never laser stippled a gun but I'd consider it here.
    Lastly, your kid has good style he's probably brushing the ladies off out there. And he's a good shot too.

    Honestly man, I think the idea of “micro carries” is the industry moving in the wrong direction.
    I have a 48, it’s great to carry in shorts and a t shirt, but I’m never going to feel as comfortable using it as a 19 or 17.
    I think we prioritize guns which won’t print for guns which would be better suited for defense/combat.

    I'd shot plenty of Glocks over the years but never felt a need for such a basic pistol. That was before I started working in many states, a few of which have the dreaded mag restrictions. The G48 was the logical choice and it's now one of my favorite pistols. The simplicity and carry ergos are great, although I'm still no fan of striker fire triggers, much, much less Glock ones; I spent a LOT of time dry firing to feel comfortable with it. Something never required with my preferred DA/SA action guns.

    • @shootersresourcechannel642

    I enjoy your vids, and I'm a Glock 48 fan. However, I'll be sticking with my Shield Plus for EDC. I prefer the option to lengthen / shorten the grip depending on the magazine I choose. It makes the gun significantly more versatile than the 48/43X.

    I like the idea of the slimmer 48's, you're right, in hand you do notice the difference. I carry a G19 with the "GLOCK Performance Trigger" (considered an OEM part) and it is a noticeably better trigger. with Dawson Fiber Optic Front/blacked-out rear. Its a great upgrade, if you haven't tried a "GLOCK Performance Trigger" give it a shot it runs about $100.00 It is considered an OEM part so you can shoot it as stock. Hopefully Glock at some point will produce them for the slim pistols, too.
    Thanks for the video!

The s15 are unreliable at least for me and that’s all I needed to see my life more valuable than banking it on something that has a hi reliability issue. and the fact you have to go outside of Glock to get something that makes the gun worth carrying is crazy to me.
