GLOCK G48 MOS Slim Compact 9mm 15+1 4.17″ Optic Ready Pistol

The GLOCK G48 MOS 9mm delivers the thin, easily concealable profile of GLOCK’s Slimline family while providing the longer barrel, slide and grip dimensions many shooters prefer for comfortable handgun control.

Featuring a 4.17-inch GLOCK Marksman Barrel, black nDLC optic-ready serrated steel slide, polymer frame with beavertail and front accessory rail, the G48 MOS combines everyday-carry dimensions with modern features designed for defensive and recreational shooting.

This particular configuration includes a 15-round magazine, providing a total 15+1 capacity when loaded with an additional round in the chamber.

GLOCK Slimline Compact Design

The defining characteristic of the GLOCK 48 is its combination of a narrow frame and compact-pistol proportions.

Compared with traditional double-stack GLOCK models, the G48’s Slimline architecture reduces overall width, helping the handgun sit closer to the body during concealed carry.

At the same time, the longer grip and 4.17-inch barrel provide a more substantial shooting platform than smaller micro-compact handguns.

The G48 MOS is well suited for:

• Everyday concealed carry
• Personal and home defense
• Firearms training
• Range shooting
• Vehicle and emergency preparedness
• General-purpose handgun ownership
• 15+1 Capacity Configuration

This GLOCK G48 MOS configuration is supplied with a 15-round magazine, providing a total 15+1 capacity when loaded with an additional round in the chamber.

The increased capacity gives shooters the ability to carry ammunition capacity comparable to many traditional compact handguns while retaining the thin dimensions of the G48 Slimline frame.

Note: Standard factory GLOCK G48 magazines are traditionally rated for 10 rounds. The 15-round capacity listed here applies specifically to the magazine supplied with this configuration.

4.17″ GLOCK Marksman Barrel

The G48 MOS features a 4.17-inch GLOCK Marksman Barrel (GMB).

The longer barrel distinguishes the G48 from shorter Slimline models such as the G43 and G43X and contributes to the pistol’s balanced handling characteristics.

For shooters who prefer the concealability of a thin handgun but want a longer barrel and slide for regular training and range use, the G48 provides an appealing combination.

MOS Optic-Ready Slide

The G48 MOS features a factory optic-ready slide, giving shooters the ability to install a compatible compact pistol-mounted red dot sight.

The MOS configuration provides modern optic capability without requiring permanent aftermarket machining of the factory slide.

Shooters can keep the pistol in a traditional iron-sight configuration or build an optic-equipped everyday-carry or defensive handgun.

Black nDLC Serrated Steel Slide

The G48 MOS features a black nDLC-finished steel slide with serrations designed to provide positive traction during firearm manipulation.

The nDLC finish provides a durable exterior surface suitable for a handgun expected to see regular handling, holster use and environmental exposure.

Slide serrations provide additional grip during loading, unloading, chamber checks and other routine firearm manipulations.

Textured Polymer Grip

The black textured polymer grip provides a secure interface between the handgun and the shooter’s hands.

The G48’s longer Slimline grip gives shooters additional surface area compared with smaller subcompact pistols while maintaining the narrow profile that makes the platform attractive for concealed carry.

This combination helps the G48 remain comfortable to shoot without creating the additional width of a traditional double-stack compact handgun.

Beavertail Frame

The G48 MOS polymer frame incorporates a beavertail-style rear profile, providing additional support at the top of the shooter’s firing hand.

The frame geometry helps create a secure grip while maintaining the streamlined dimensions expected from the Slimline platform.

Front Accessory Rail

The G48 MOS includes a front accessory rail for mounting compatible compact weapon lights and other rail-mounted accessories.

Combined with the MOS optic-ready slide, the accessory rail provides multiple options for configuring the pistol around concealed carry, personal defense or home-defense applications.

Built for Concealed Carry

The GLOCK G48 MOS is particularly well suited for shooters who want a thin carry gun without dropping all the way down to micro-compact dimensions.

Its narrow frame helps reduce bulk during concealed carry, while the longer grip and slide provide a more substantial shooting experience.

That balance makes the G48 an attractive alternative for shooters who find smaller carry pistols uncomfortable during extended training sessions.

GLOCK Safe Action® System

The G48 MOS incorporates GLOCK’s established Safe Action® System, which uses three independently operating passive mechanical safeties.

These safeties disengage sequentially when the trigger is intentionally pulled and automatically re-engage when the trigger is released.

The system provides the simple and consistent manual of arms associated with GLOCK pistols.

Slim Carry Dimensions With Compact Capability

The GLOCK G48 MOS occupies an appealing middle ground between micro-compact carry pistols and wider traditional compact handguns.

Its combination of a 4.17-inch GMB barrel, Slimline polymer frame, MOS optic-ready slide, front accessory rail and 15+1 capacity in this configuration creates a versatile handgun capable of serving as an everyday-carry, personal-defense and training pistol.

For shooters searching for a GLOCK G48 MOS with 15+1 capacity, this configuration delivers increased capacity and modern optic capability while retaining the thin dimensions that define the G48 platform.
