Slim and light, the Glock 48 sits between the compact and subcompact sizes. It has a 4.17-inch barrel and a narrow single-stack frame, and this used example has a 10-round magazine. The black finish is plain and the lines are clean.

Many carry permit holders like the 48 because it is thin and light, but the grip is long enough to hold with all your fingers. That extra grip length helps with recoil and accuracy. A 9mm in a slim frame is easy to hide, and it can ride in a belt holster all day without fuss.

The 10-round capacity is a fair match for the slim profile. Some states limit magazine size, and ten rounds fits those rules. If you prefer, the 48 will accept other compatible magazines in the right configurations, so check local rules before you buy any.

When the pistol arrives, check the barrel and slide for marks. Test the magazine and confirm it locks the slide back when empty. Look at the trigger and make sure it resets with a clear click. As with any used Glock, a few holster marks are normal. The pistol is sold as described, in used condition. It ships to your local FFL dealer, where the background check is completed.
