    One would think that Glock would bring something out to compete with the capacity of the P365 (not the G26)...But Let’s not get too far ahead of ourselves here. It may not even be what is going to be unveiled.
    IF...it is something along these lines, and they add a substantial amount of length to the grip, that would be disappointing compared to the grip length of the P365 which holds 10+1. It would need to be a 1.5 stack of some type and in the same ballpark grip length of the P365 to really be comparable.
    Hopefully they have figured it out and made it happen in their G43 platform. We will find out at Shot Show.

    The real secret sauce in the P365 is the magazine, and Sig has 3 patents on the P365 magazine alone. I’m not sure Glock has room to work with there in terms of making a comparable slim doublestack. I think we’ll see a single stack with a longer grip, especially given the “X” designation which so far has been Glock speak for short slide long grip. Or basically a thin slide G26. Neither of which is overly exciting to me.

    That may be true. But someone could have made fake pictures to go with some real information. And something like a 43X, if it turns out to be real, could be said to compete with the P365 for capacity.

    I expect to see the real G43X after S H O T.

    I expect the magazine rounds to be staggered as you said.

    So possibly like a Glock 26S??? Like the 30s, slim 36 slide and 30 frame?
    That would be a Glock 43 slide and 26 frame?

    Appears to be approximately .071 wider with the grip .157 taller than the current G43 if the online numbers are correct
    It should be taller and thinner than a G26.
