About this product
The GLOCK 43X HOTH 9MM 10RD BW GREY is a custom Cerakote edition from Shark Coast Tactical that turns an already capable Slimline carry piece into something that stands out on the bench and in the holster. Chambered in 9mm Luger, this 10-round compact pairs a subcompact-slim slide with a full-size grip length, giving you the control you need without printing through a t-shirt. The battle-worn grey finish isn't just for looks—it adds a layer of corrosion resistance that matters when you're carrying daily. If you've been looking for a G43X that doesn't look like everyone else's, this Hoth edition delivers.

Key Features
- Slimline Frame with Built-in Beaver Tail — The compact grip length gives you a full three-finger purchase without adding bulk, and the integrated beaver tail prevents slide bite during high-round-count sessions. Why it matters: you shoot faster and more accurately when your grip isn't compromised.
- Custom Hoth Edition Cerakote by Shark Coast Tactical — This battle-worn grey finish isn't a dip or a spray-and-bake job; it's a professional-grade coating that resists holster wear and environmental corrosion. Why it matters: your EDC piece stays looking tight even after a year of daily carry.
- 10-Round Magazine Capacity — The flush-fit 10-rounder keeps the grip short enough for AIWB carry while still giving you a solid reload. Why it matters: you get enough rounds for a defensive encounter without the bulk of a double-stack.
- Black Slide with nPVD Finish — The factory black slide is treated with a tough physical vapor deposition coating that holds up to sweat and friction. Why it matters: the slide-to-frame contrast looks sharp, and the finish won't flake off after a few range trips.
- Compact-Slim Profile for Versatile Carry — At just 1.06 inches wide and 6.5 inches overall length, this pistol disappears under a t-shirt or light jacket. Why it matters: you're more likely to carry it every day when it doesn't feel like a brick on your belt.
Who It's For
This is for the daily carrier who wants a reliable, shootable compact that doesn't look like every other black GLOCK at the range. It's also for the collector who appreciates limited-run Cerakote work from a known shop like Shark Coast Tactical. If you've got smaller hands or prefer a single-stack grip, the G43X platform is one of the most comfortable in the Slimline lineup.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: The Hoth Cerakote is durable and unique—you won't see this finish on a shelf at a big-box retailer.
- Pro: The grip length gives you control without requiring a full-size holster.
- Con: The 10-round capacity is lower than some double-stack micro-9s (like the SIG P365 XMacro with 17 rounds), so if capacity is your priority, you might want to look at a 15-round aftermarket magazine or a different platform.

FAQ
Does the GLOCK 43X Hoth 9mm 10rd BW Grey come with extra magazines?
This model ships with one 10-round flush-fit magazine. Additional OEM or aftermarket magazines are sold separately.
Is the Cerakote finish on the Hoth edition durable enough for daily carry?
Yes. Shark Coast Tactical applies a professional-grade Cerakote that's been tested for holster wear and corrosion resistance. The battle-worn look actually hides minor scuffs better than a gloss finish.
Can I use a G43X holster with the Hoth edition?
Yes, the Hoth edition uses the same frame and slide dimensions as a standard G43X, so any holster designed for the G43X will fit. Just make sure the holster is compatible with the optic cut if you plan to add a red dot.
What's the difference between the G43X and the standard G43?
The G43X has a longer grip (10-round capacity vs. 6-round), a built-in beaver tail, and a slightly longer barrel (3.41 inches vs. 3.39 inches). The G43X is more comfortable for larger hands and gives you a better purchase for follow-up shots.
Does this pistol have an optics cut?
The standard G43X Hoth edition does not include a factory optics cut. If you want a red dot, you'll need to have the slide milled by a gunsmith or use a dovetail mount.
