#ModularOpticSystem

With the expansion of the Glock compact line of pistols, there are more options than ever from Glock to fit any occasion. In the past, I’ve looked at the Glock 43 and 43X line of pistols but recently I decided to pick up the new Glock 48 MOS to check out the latest offering from Glock. With the overall dimensions being similar to other models, is there a place for the Glock 48 in the lineup? Well, that’s what I wanted to find out so I purchased an MOS variant and decided to find out for myself. Let’s take a closer look at the Glock 48 MOS pistol.

A recent RFI (Request for Information) has been put out by the Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Customs and Border Protection. The request is seeking out information from the firearms industry for a “Service handgun Electronic Aiming Device.” Recently The DHS CBP has put into service two new handguns able to host an RDS, the Glock G47 and G19, both with the MOS (Modular Optic System) cut.

Glock has begun to slowly expand their line-up of Gen5 models that are being transitioned in from the Gen4 series. Right now, they have the G17 and G19 as well as the just announced G26 Gen5 and the G34 Gen5 Modular Optic System (MOS) pistols. An argument could be made for 5 total with the G19X, but that is a unique crossover that shares attributes from both the Gen5 and Gen4 series.
