It’s more of a compact in size, and as a compact handgun, it’s quite controllable and very comfortable to shoot. I think Glock calling it a slimline pistol is perfect. The Glock 48 MOS is a slimline pistol, but I’m not sure if I would describe it as a subcompact. This makes a huge difference in the design of the gun and makes it way more comfortable, at least to me. ![]() This protects your hands from slide bite and allows you to have a high and comfortable grip on the weapon. The excellent news is Glock redesigned the rear of the pistol to incorporate a small beavertail into the gun’s grip design. We will cover all the ergonomics in this Glock 48 MOS review. The Glock 48 and G48 MOS are no different, and the slide lock is virtually useless in my hands. They are too far rearward and get effectively pinned down by my thumbs with a thumbs forward grip. All Glock slide locks do, in my opinion, and the issue is their placement and design. There is a lot of good in the ergonomics department of the G48, but there is a little bad too. The Glock 48 MOS is 5.04 inches tall, and that height will increase depending on the optic chosen. The Glock 48 MOS weighs 24.97 ounces fully loaded, which is about 5 ounces lighter than a loaded Glock 19. Although these are an aftermarket magazine and I have no means to testify to their reliability. This gives the Glock 48 a dose of Glock 19 firepower. Shield Arms makes a metal magazine with the ability to hold 15 rounds in its flush-fitting design. The Glock 48 MOS holds ten rounds of 9mm, and the Glock 48 MOS is compatible with the new magazine from Shield Arms. Previously Glock 19s had their barrels slightly extended to be sold in Canada. ![]() This somewhat longer barrel allows the gun to be sold in Canada with no modification. The Glock 48 is a little shorter than the 19 at 7.28 inches but manages to pack a slightly longer barrel at 4.17 inches. This slim and sleek pistol is 0.16 inches thinner than the Glock 19 with an overall width of 1.10 inches. Also, we have the perfect, professional concealed carry Glock 48 MOS holster for you to carry this Glock in.Īs I mentioned before, the Glock 48 MOS is essentially a Glock 19 on a diet. The Glock 48 MOS gives a pleasant and professional black on black appearance. You’ll see a lot of lower-end brands have huge markings where the polymer molds meet, but that’s not present with the Glock series of pistols. The good news is that it works, looks professional, and far from low grade. The black frame is a timeless and straightforward Glock design. The gap created by the removable MOS Plate is hardly noticeable and fits cleanly and near perfectly with the slide when not running an optic. This is the same finish that protects Glocks on duty around the country and the world, so it’s well-proven and dependable. The older tennifer finish on Glocks was only about half that. This is a diamond-like coating that is extremely hard and tough. Reducing reflections everywhere possible is a good idea on an optically enhanced gun. This was probably a good idea on a gun designed for optics enhancement. The Glock 48 MOS went to a more discrete and less reflective black finish. This was a great choice, in my opinion, and gave the new slimline pistols a distinct appearance. The Glock 48 premiered initially in a slick, sleek, and attractive silver stainless steel finish. ![]() That’s not the only change Glock made to the 48 series pistols, and today we will explore all of the significant changes and see where the Glock 48 MOS stacks up with modern carry pistols. The Glock 48 MOS and its optics enhancement are a welcome addition to the Glock 48 pistol. The good news is red dots are getting smaller and we now have the Shield RMSc, Swampfox Sentinel, Holosun 507K, and SIG Romeo Zero readily available. The Glock 48 has a very thin slide, so it cannot accommodate most red dot sights. The slide is cut for the micro red dot Shield RMSc. The Glock 48 MOS variant now incorporates built-in optics modularity. The Glock 48 was a sweet pistol, but Glock is now making it a bit better by giving it the MOS treatment. If you’re interested in the little brother to this pistol, we have an in-depth Glock 43X MOS review as well. Read on for the best Glock 48 MOS review you’ll find. The Glock 48 shares a typical ten-round magazine with the Glock 43X, and the barrel is just slightly longer, and that extra barrel length adds bullet velocity. In fact, we’ve written an excellent Glock 48 vs Glock 19 article, if you’re interested. The Glock 48 is essentially a single stack Glock 19 that matches that near-perfect height and length with a significant width reduction. While it’s the perfect height and length for many, the gun found itself to be a chubby little fella. The Glock 19 has been the standard-bearer for the Glock series pistols for decades now.
