Key Features

1. Optics-Ready for Enhanced Accuracy

The G48 MOS features GLOCK’s Modular Optic System (MOS), pre-cut to accommodate popular micro red-dot sights like the Shield RMSc, Holosun 407K, and Trijicon RMRcc. Achieve faster target acquisition and improved accuracy for defensive or competitive shooting.

2. Slimline Concealed Carry Design

With a reduced grip circumference and 1.1″ slide width, the G48 MOS offers superior comfort and discretion. Its lightweight polymer frame (18.48 oz unloaded) ensures all-day carry without printing, making it a top choice for CCW permit holders.

3. 9mm Luger Performance

Chambered in 9mm Parabellum, the G48 MOS balances manageable recoil, affordable ammunition availability, and proven stopping power. The nitride-finished barrel resists wear and corrosion, even under heavy use.

4. 10+1 Round Capacity

Despite its slim profile, the G48 MOS packs a 10-round magazine capacity (plus one in the chamber), offering ample firepower for personal protection without sacrificing concealability.

5. GLOCK Safe Action System

GLOCK’s patented Safe Action trigger provides a consistent pull with three independent safeties (trigger, firing pin, and drop safeties), ensuring secure operation in high-stress situations.

6. Durable, Corrosion-Resistant Build

The nDLC (diamond-like carbon) slide finish and fiber-reinforced polymer frame withstand harsh conditions, from humid climates to daily carry wear.
