Does anyone know if GLOCK will be providing a sport-combat holster for these smaller models?  They're pretty nice for their other handguns.

I just want the damn factory mag pouches for the 48. They are all I use for my double stack Glocks and 43.

I am rather surprised that they don't have them for the slimline series, they seem like perfect options for a handgun with their size and weight. Apparently, they also have quite the following. Even though I would rarely use them, I too would buy the holster and mag carrier for them.

I emailed Glock with the same question and a month later got a reply.  Short answer is: no, they have no plans to.  This is as of late last year.

The biggest hurdle is equipment cost. They have to know they will sell a lot of them to recover their costs and make a profit.

Their current offerings are unchanged since the late 80s and that machinery has been paid off for decades.  About $1.50 in materials in labor that they sell to the dealer for $5 and to the consumer for $12, everybody profits.

Remember, they are competing against Gucci brands costing 5 to 10 times the price to people who put their self esteem into Gucci gear. Simple and it works is a tough sell to this crowd.

They made mag pouches for both the 42 and 43 in the last 5-6 years, so why not the 43X/48?

Would they be a different size? My large fits g20/21. Small fits all 9mm, .40, .357

Are the x / 48 a different width?

Yes, not even close.

The 43x/48 magazine is wider than the 43 magazine so don't think one mag holder would work for both.

I think I was unclear. I meant is the 48 mag different width than the g43 mag?

Yes, the 48 mags won’t fit in the 43 pouches.

Since Glock isn’t going to give us this option, who makes an OWB for the G48 similar to what Glock should provide?

I would say the Tenicor ARX OWB is the closest. Price is steep though, Quality of course.

On that note, who makes a 43x/48 mag pouch that isn't twice as thick as the mag?

The only reason I own a 48 is for the occasion when i need something slimmer than a 19 so I don't want a big hunk of kydex to carry the mag.

That really is nice but not $85 nice.  And it's for the MOS version, or which I don't have.  Wonder what is option B?
