It is official (I think).

This is where the official announcement will be made: GLOCK Live Event on March 20 at 9AM PST. concealednation.org may have gotten the spec sheet and promotional photos from someone in the know, or just been duped. I will wait until Glock says that they are selling a Glock 43 as single-stack 9mm. Afterall, Glock is the manufacturer.
