Making Glock 43 longer..

I'd like to buy a 9 mm Glock that is as concealable as possible. Limiting factor is that the gun has to be longer than 190 mm (7.49") or taller than 140 mm (5.52"). Anything that is permanently attached to the gun (for example muzzle brake attached with red Loctite) counts.

What I have in mind is Glock 43 with longer barrel, possibly with a compensator / muzzle brake (I'll just use the word comp from now on). I have considered comp because barrel that long would, for some reason, feel fragile. And I don't think anyone is making Glock 43 barrels that'd be long enough?

Glock 43 is 159 mm (6.26") long, so I'd need one that is 32 mm (1.26") longer than "original".

Easiest way of making a gun longer is to equip it with a longer barrel, right

So, original barrel is 86 mm (3.39") long, and I'd need one that is 118 mm (4.65") long. Does that king of barrel exist?

Or then I go another route with pros and cons. Buy threaded barrel and quip it with a comp. That'd easily make the gun long enough, but then I'd most likely have to mess with the recoil spring (and possibly with some other internals as well?). And cleaning a Glock with permanently attached comp.. does not sound too nice

What are your thoughts on this?

 

Thank you for your input. I think I have to clear few things up a bit / answer some "questions"

But why:

I'd like to have a gun that does have as little print, when carried concealed, as possible.

Unfortunately it is impossible to get a permit for a gun that does not exceed 190 mm in length or 140 mm in height. Even Glock 19 (187 mm x 127 mm) is considered "pocket gun" here. That's why almost all of them are sold as pro-models. Pro model has a threaded barrel (and few other changes that are irrelevant to my problem) that makes it just long enough to be "normal" gun.

I just think Glock 19 is too big to be carried concealed, especially when it's hot outside. I feel like I have to "dress for the occasion" when I'm carrying it, and that it is a little too big to be comfortable. The height of Glock 19 is the "problem", length of the gun does not bother me so much. That's why I started to think about some other solution, and Glock 43 would have a nice short grip..

So I'm after a 9 mm gun that'd be as low as possible, and being narrow would not hurt either. But it has to be 190+ mm long. I fear it might be hard to find a gun that'd meet these requirements without some changes..

Why Glock? It was just my "go to" answer, since I've owned only Glocks. Of all the shots I've fired with a pistol I've probably shot 98% with a Glock 17, 19 or 26.

I haven't found the exact length in mm, but XD-S® 4.0″ 9mm seems to be 7" long.. That'd make it too short (178 mm). Same problem with Shield.

Back to the original brainstorm..

Buying a (Glock 43 and a) threaded barrel and adding a non-removeable comp would be easy to achieve, but would make proper cleaning of the gun a pain. Or outright impossible.

What I think I'd like more is finding a long enough barrel that'd fit Glock 43 (although I'm afraid that only G43 barrels fit G43.. they are not interchangeable with any other model are they?), and having a Kydex holster made for the gun that'd protect it (and the looong barrel).

I know that this is a bit weird, but hey, I did not come up with our laws (that say that when I carry a gun I have to carry it concealed, but the gun I'm concealing has to be BIG)

 

Glock 17 is as easy to carry concealed as Glock 43 with 1.25" long comp (or barrel that comes 1.25" out of the slide)? Really?

 

Correct, I'm from the "old continent"(*). Apologies for my incompetency in English language, but it is my third language, so you just have to bare with me

Cutting the grip would make the gun illegal.

Thank you for the tip!

(*)This might explain some of the weird laws we have concerning guns. It is quite difficult and laborious to get a permit for a pistol/revolver, but fairly easy to get one for a rifle (minimum length 840 mm, minimum barrel length 400 mm). And if you do get a permit for lets say semi-auto 9mm, you can do almost anything to it, as long as you don't make it smaller. It's perfectly ok to put your Glock 17 inside Roni, change it's barrel to 10" threaded one, equip it with suppressor, any kind of optic (red dot, magnifier, even night vision stuff), 100 round mags etc..
