The Glock 43 ACG-00856 is an Apollo Custom Special Edition 9mm semi-automatic pistol featuring a distinctive Purple Cerakote polymer frame paired with a Black Cerakote slide. This configuration has a 3.41-inch barrel, 6+1 capacity, two included single-stack magazines, white-dot front sight, white-outline rear sight, and Glock Safe Action safety system. Davidson’s identifies this exact configuration as Item ACG-00856 / Catalog 00856 / UPC 850386008561.
The defining feature of ACG-00856 is its custom two-tone finish. Davidson’s specifically lists the frame finish as Purple Cerakote and the slide finish as Black Cerakote, with the overall finish described as Black/Purple. Davidson’s also states that the Cerakote work is provided by Apollo Custom Coating.
Chambered in 9mm Luger, the pistol has a factory capacity of 6+1 rounds and ships with two single-stack magazines. The G43 platform uses a slim single-stack design intended to provide a compact overall profile while retaining Glock’s familiar controls.
The pistol uses a 3.41-inch rifled barrel and measures 6.26 inches overall. Davidson’s lists its weight at just 16.19 ounces, maintaining the lightweight dimensions associated with the Glock 43 platform.
The frame is constructed from polymer and incorporates the G43's built-in beavertail and aggressive grip texture. Davidson’s notes that the design allows a high grip while the enlarged magazine catch facilitates removal of the six-round magazine.
For sights, ACG-00856 comes with Glock's traditional white-dot front sight and white-outline rear sight. The Davidson’s listing does not identify this SKU as MOS or optics-ready, so an optics-ready attribute should not be added to this particular product listing.
Internally, the pistol uses Glock's striker-fired system with Safe Action safeties. Davidson’s also identifies this particular G43 as Made in the USA and lists a cable trigger lock as included equipment.
