Glock 48 Review: Everything You’ve Always Wanted In A Glock. And Less.<\/span><\/h1>\n

The first Glock pistols reached American shores in the early 1980\u2019s. The arrival of the Glock 48\u2019s grandfather, the full-sized 9mm Glock 17, touched off a revolution in what we\u2019ve come to expect in semi-automatic pistols. It wasn\u2019t the first polymer-framed pistol, and it wasn\u2019t the first striker-fired pistol either. The true genius of the Glock pistol is that they combined those elements with a rugged, simple internal mechanism to create a landmark firearms platform. That continues with the Glock 48.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Glock 48<\/a> continues Glock’s legacy of creating compact polymer 9mm pistols that are simple, rugged, and reliable. The single-stack Glock 48 is approximately the same size as a Glock 19, except it is significantly thinner. That thinness may not seem like much, but as we\u2019ve said before, <\/span>thinner guns are easier to carry.<\/span><\/a>\u00a0 It\u2019s the gun’s height that makes it easier to spot under concealment. And the Glock 48 is tall. It\u2019s the tallest out of all the guns in our test. However, that height also means that it can hold ten rounds in a magazine, which is tied for the most in our test.\u00a0<\/span>
