Owners of the G48 Gen 5 appreciate the slim, single-stack profile that keeps the grip narrow without giving up much barrel length. It rides comfortably in an IWB holster and draws cleanly. The camo/tan color combination on this variant draws polarized opinions, with some liking the look and others preferring all-black.

The trigger is typical Glock Safe Action, which regular Glock shooters find familiar and consistent. Those coming from other platforms sometimes describe it as adequate rather than exceptional. Recoil in 9mm is mild given the slim frame, and muzzle flip stays manageable.

At its price point the G48 competes well with other slim single-stack options. Parts and holsters are widely available, which owners consider a practical advantage. The 10-round magazine limit is the most common complaint from those who want more capacity in this size class.
