“The G43 is the most exciting product release to date because it addresses a variety of issues that many shooters face with pistols in the concealed carry category,” stated GLOCK, Inc., VP Josh Dorsey. “It will be the pistol of choice for law enforcement and civilians. The G43 sets a new standard for concealed carry pistols.”
A true slimline pistol, the frame width of the G43 is just over one inch and the slide width measures only 0.87 inch. The overall length is 6.26 inches. For those who have smaller hands, the trigger distance is only 2.6 inches, making it ideal for functionality. The single stack magazine holds 6 rounds and is the perfect concealed carry pistol for both duty and civilian use. The G43 is engineered to the same superior standards as all GLOCK pistols and the reliability instills confidence for all lifestyles.

New for 2015 in the Browning ProSteel safe line-up are the Pistol Vault 500 and Pistol Vault 1000. These compact vaults provide real, safe-like security for individuals wanting a more secure location to store handguns.
Feature-packed Browning ProSteel Pistol Vaults are built from 10 gauge steel — twice the thickness of most pistol vaults offered on the market — and include safe-like security measures for superior protection from break in.
Security is provided by a recessed lid held tightly by a pair of tough ½” diameter locking bolts. An electronic four-button touch pad controls entry, is easily programmed with a custom entry code and uses eight AA batteries. A unique four-sided key opens the lid in the event the entry code is forgotten or the batteries fail. The pistol vaults also include external electrical contacts for use with a common 9V battery that powers the touch pad (9V back-up battery not included).
Bright LED lighting illuminates the interior. A pick and pluck foam insert is easily customized to fit firearms and other valuables.
The ProSteel Pistol Vault 1000 dimensions are 7 ½” high x 14 ½” wide x 11″ deep with a weight of 25 lbs. Suggested Retail is $219.00. Read more
