I own a bunch of Glocks and the G48 is my favorite. It's such a natural pointer It's almost boring to shoot (wildly accurate). As a matter of fact, I like the G48 so much I have entertained the unthinkable, selling my other 9mm Glocks cause they're just sitting in the safe. I never take them to the range anymore.

I have large hands (XLarge glove size), and the G48 fits me like a glove.

No. I think you're thinking about the G43 frame. The G48 will easily accommodate a full hand grip.
I bought one for my wife who has small hands. It fits her well, though it is a little bit snappy. I got the MOS, and added a Talon Pro grip. Itdoes suffer from a heavy, horrible (typical Glock) trigger, but there will be some upgrades to come. I also find that the slide release is too small, and it would benefit from an aftermarket extended release. The glock sites are terrible but my wide doesn't mind them. They'll be replaced eventually also.
All that said, I'm planning to upgrade it rather than sell it.

I watched the Hickok45 with his son, and he said it does seem to want to go more left because it is smaller, and then he proceeded to miss the same targets with the G19. I think my boat is sold, so I'll be ordering it next week. You guys rock.
Hand size may have something to do with it. For argument's sake, I'm going to say that it has more to do with how your particular hand tolerates the Glock Hump. 17 vs 19 vs 26 vs 48 all differ in this regard.
This might help?
it might be part of the answer and solution i was looking for. what about longer magazine as well? i mean extension for the mags?
Your point appears to be totally pointless. The G48 is significantly slimmer than traditional double stack Glocks, and that’s the only thing that matters in this regard. Literally no one is making a purchase decision based on magazine width.
His point is that the capacity could be 50% higher. Pointless to Canadians who follow mag restrictions but it's definitely relevant to many people otherwise.
Just stating a fact, dude. It's not a single stack, one look at a loaded clip could convince you.
It matters in the states where you can get 15 rd. flush fit for the 48.
Grip circumference tells the story, the G48 measures in at 5” and a G17 measures in at 5 5/8” - believe me, 5/8” is huge.
I’d say that the G48 is likely the best 9mm with a 10 round capacity available in Canada for people who wear a medium or smaller glove, just on trigger reach and grip circumference alone. The trigger is a Glock trigger so that sucks, but it’s good for a Glock trigger and it can be overcome.

The 48 is my only Glock and my only “plastic” pistol and I really like shooting mine .
Had it pretty much fully customized at Black Box and it has the Sentry red dot on it . I like that its light and compact , yes there’s a wee bit more recoil then , say , my Sig , but it’s not too much more . Put an apex trigger in it so that not great Glock trigger is gone .
I really enjoy shooting it and have had no mechanical problems whatsoever thus far .
