The Glock 43X in the "Sea Star Glitter" blue Cerakote finish is a compact 9mm semi-automatic pistol. The 43X sits between the subcompact G43 and mid-size G48 in Glock's lineup. It has a longer grip than the G43 for a full-hand hold, but the same 3.4-inch barrel. The result is a pistol that's easier to shoot than a pure subcompact while still being concealable.

Who It's For 

The 43X hits the sweet spot for shooters who found the G43 too small to shoot comfortably but want something more concealable than a double-stack. New gun owners will find the controls intuitive. Experienced Glock users already know what to expect. The custom Cerakote finish makes it a draw for buyers who want something visually distinct. 
 

Usage Scenarios 

For everyday carry the 43X's slim frame and polymer construction keep the weight down for all-day wear. The 10-round capacity is reasonable for a concealed carry pistol in this size class. At the range or for home defense, the longer grip compared to the G43 gives you more control, which shows up in accuracy at moderate distances.

The Glock 43X in the "Ocean Sparkle" blue finish gets broadly positive feedback, with the finish itself driving most of the secondary discussion.

The platform is well-regarded. Owners consistently mention reliability across a range of 9mm loads and appreciate the ergonomics. The longer grip relative to the G43 comes up often as a reason they chose the 43X over the smaller model. Recoil is manageable and the trigger feel is standard Glock, which means it's familiar to anyone who's shot a Glock before.

For concealed carry, owners find the slim frame works well under light clothing, and the 10-round capacity is adequate for most carry purposes. A few users wish it held more rounds. The 43X MOS Shield magazines can extend capacity, but that's an aftermarket solution. The magazine capacity is the most common trade-off people mention, not a complaint per se, just an acknowledged limitation of the form factor.

The Ocean Sparkle finish draws the expected split: buyers who wanted something visually different are happy with the result; traditional Glock owners sometimes feel the custom finish is more expensive than it's worth. Finding compatible aftermarket parts in a matching finish is harder than for standard-finish 43X pistols.

Overall, the 43X is a well-reviewed carry pistol, and the custom finish makes it one of the more recognizable variants in the lineup.
