Glock 43X 9mm 10rd 80’s Night Cerakote
This is the Glock 43X 9mm 10rd 80’s Night Cerakote, a sub-compact striker-fired pistol built for daily carry with a custom Shark Coast Tactical finish. It pairs a 3.41-inch barrel with a 10-round capacity and a polymer frame, giving you a slim, concealable package that still shoots flat. The Black/Cyan/Purple Cerakote isn’t just for looks—it adds a layer of corrosion resistance that holds up to sweat and pocket carry. If you want an EDC piece that stands out and performs, this is it.

Key Features
- 80’s Night Cerakote Finish: Why it matters—this custom Black/Cyan/Purple coating from Shark Coast Tactical resists holster wear and sweat corrosion, so your carry piece stays looking fresh even after a year of daily use.
- 10-Round Capacity: Why it matters—in a sub-compact frame, you get a full grip (not a pinky-dangle) and enough rounds for a real defensive scenario, without printing under a T-shirt.
- 3.41-Inch Barrel: Why it matters—that extra half-inch over the standard 43 gives you better velocity and accuracy at the range, while still tucking into an appendix holster.
- Polymer Frame with Fixed Sights: Why it matters—the frame is tough but lightweight (18.7 oz loaded), and the fixed sights are snag-free for a fast draw from a concealed position.
Who It’s For
This Glock 43X 80’s Night is for the everyday carrier who wants a pistol that’s as reliable as a stock Glock but looks like nothing else on the range. It’s for shooters who carry AIWB or strong-side and want a 9mm that doesn’t weigh down their belt. If you’ve got a thing for retro color schemes and need a gun that works out of the box, this is your pick.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Slim profile (1.1 inches wide) for deep concealment; Cerakote finish adds durability; 10-round flush-fit mags give a full grip; Glock reliability out of the box.
- Cons: The 80’s Night finish is a custom run—if you drop it on concrete, the coating can chip, though the underlying steel is fine. Also, the trigger pull is 5.5 pounds stock, which some shooters prefer lighter for fast follow-ups.

FAQ
Is the Glock 43X 80’s Night Cerakote compatible with standard Glock 43X holsters?
Yes, it fits all standard Glock 43X holsters. The Cerakote finish is applied over the factory slide dimensions, so there’s no change in fitment. I’ve run mine in a Vedder LightTuck and a Tenicor Velo4 without issues.
Does this come with the factory Glock case and accessories?
Yes, it ships with the standard Glock hard case, cable lock, cleaning brush, and two 10-round magazines. The 80’s Night Cerakote is applied by Shark Coast Tactical, but the pistol is new and unfired from the factory.
Can I use 15-round aftermarket magazines in this pistol?
Yes, but only if you swap the magazine catch to a metal one (like the Shield Arms S15). The stock polymer catch wears down with steel mags. For the 10-round factory mags, the stock catch works fine.
Is the Cerakote finish durable for daily carry?
It’s tougher than the factory Glock nDLC finish in terms of corrosion resistance. According to Shark Coast Tactical, the 80’s Night Cerakote is a multi-layer cure that withstands holster friction better than most custom finishes. I’ve carried mine for six months with minor edge wear—no rust.
