Is the Glock 48 ported barrel compatible with the 43X?

Yes. Glock 48 and Glock 43X use the same barrel size and locking lugs. These barrels are drop-in compatible with both models.

What does a ported barrel do?

A ported barrel reduces muzzle flip by venting gases upward during firing, allowing faster follow-up shots and more stable aim.

Are there threaded ported barrels for Glock 48?

Yes. We offer both threaded and flush crown ported barrels for the Glock 48, including 1/2x28 thread pitch for comps or suppressors.

Do I need a modified slide to run a ported barrel?

No. Ported barrels can be used with factory Glock 48 or 43X slides. A window-cut slide allows the ports to vent more efficiently but is not required.

Is this good for everyday carry?

While compatible, ported barrels may increase flash and noise. They're best for range or competition use, and less ideal for low-light carry.

🧠 Glock 48 Ported Barrel FAQs

Q: Is this barrel compatible with the Glock 43X?
A: Yes. Glock 48 and 43X share the same slide and barrel dimensions. This ported barrel will fit both.

Q: What’s the benefit of a ported barrel?
A: Porting redirects gas upward to reduce muzzle flip and recoil. That means faster follow-up shots and better control, especially in rapid fire.

Q: Can I use this for concealed carry?
A: While it’s physically compatible, ported barrels may increase flash and noise, making them better suited for range or competition use than defensive carry.
