G48 Rail - The new compact-size GLOCK Slimline pistol with rail
Chambered in 9 mm Luger the G48 Rail features a compact Slimline frame with a slim mounting rail and a black slide with nDLC finish as well as a 10-round magazine capacity making it ideal for concealed carry.
The G48 Rail is of similar length and height as the G19 but the width of the pistol is reduced for increased concealability and better carrying comfort.
The frame features the GLOCK Mounting rail slim for mounting tactical accessories and incorporates elements of the Slimline series such the short trigger distance, a frame with a built-in beavertail, a reversible magazine catch and the incredibly accurate, match-grade GLOCK Marksman Barrel (GMB) of the Gen5 series. The G48 Rail also features precision-milled front serrations.
The slim (01) magazine is built in reliable GLOCK style, it has an orange magazine follower for higher visibility and is specifically developed to ensure the 10 rds magazine capacity.
Engineered with the GLOCK perfection promise, this Slimline pistol model features the Safe Action® System and will soon be available as a combo version with specific tactical light.

FEATURES
GLOCK Mounting Rail slim
The frame has an integrated rail in front of the trigger guard. This allows mounting of accessories such as tactical lights and lasers.
nDLC finish
The all-black model G48 Rail comes with a nDLC finish. This finish provides the same tough, durable protection like the GLOCK Gen5-models. The nDLC finish increases protection against corrosion and scratching and improves the ability of the pistol to function in adverse conditions.
All GLOCK metal parts are subject to a surface treatment making them corrosion and salt water resistant.

Front serrations
To provide a different look and an additional tactile surface to do a fast press check before and after firing.
Polymer frame with built-in beavertail design and special grip texture
The frame of the slimline models has a built-in beavertail design, which allows the shooter to aquire a high and tight grip.
The durable and lightweight polymer frame absorbs recoil due to the dampening characteristics of the polymer. The slimline RTF was designed to enhance grip traction without beeing too aggressive.

Magazine capacity
The 10 rounds magazine slim 01 has a specific single stack design to reduce its dimensions to a minimum. The orange follower allows the shooter to clearly see if there are any rounds left in the magazine or not. The metal insert is covered by a polymer coating.
Note: some magazines might not be available in all countries due to legal regulations.
Trigger distance
The trigger distance of these slimline pistols is reduced compared to other GLOCK models. The grip angle is equivalent to the larger pistols in the GLOCK lineup.
Safe Action® System
Three safeties disengage sequentially as the trigger is pulled and automatically reengage when the trigger is released. Same trigger pull for each shot - short trigger reset.
