Glock 43/43X/48 – Compensator – EXOS-533 – 9mm 1/2x28
PLEASE DOUBLE CHECK DETAILS AND FITMENT BEFORE PURCHASE.
The Faxon EXOS-533 is a slimline black anodized 9mm compensator made for Glock 43, 43X, and 48 pattern pistols using a 1/2x28 threaded barrel. This one is built around the smaller Glock footprint, so it needs the right host and the right barrel.
For slimline Glock builds, a comp like this can help calm muzzle rise without turning the gun into a brick. Still, it is a tuning part. Run it, test it, and don’t assume all ammo will behave the same.
Fitment
- Fits Glock 43, Glock 43X, and Glock 48 pattern pistols
- 9mm
- Requires 1/2x28 threaded barrel
- Black anodized finish
Does NOT fit
- Not for double-stack Glock 17/19/34 platforms
- Not for non-threaded barrels
What it does
It redirects gas upward to help reduce muzzle climb and smooth out the recoil impulse. On slimline pistols, that can make fast follow-up shots feel more controlled when the setup is tuned correctly.
Why it’s worth it
This is a clean option for a threaded slimline Glock build where compact size still matters. Good part, but it still demands a little common sense and testing instead of blind faith.

Install notes
As with other pistol compensators, reliability can change based on ammo, recoil spring rate, and overall pistol setup. Test fire before relying on it.
Verify before you buy
Verify your exact host pistol is a Glock 43, 43X, or 48 pattern 9mm with a 1/2x28 threaded barrel. Do not buy this for standard double-stack Glock fitments.
