glock 43 experiences

[YukonGlocker]

After years of being (mostly) glock free, I'm seriously considering giving having a fling with the G43. What has your experiences been with this one?

good bug

I'm pretty happy with mine.

I think the Glock 43 was a real winner, but I will admit that I tend to like Glock in general. Still, it is a great carry.

Pleased with mine. Feel and function is typical glock. Has not had any malfunction with any of the FMJ or hollow point ammo that I have put through it. Accuracy is good. Very comfortable and easy to carry IWB.

It's a glock

I was at our range the other day. A lady was dinging steel with hers at 100 yds. I looked at the muzzle angle vs the line of sight, and it was a little elevated, but not too bad actually. She hit it 3 of four attempts. Spotter saw the paint fly off the steel.

Do you have a G42 and a G43? I remember shooting a .380 of yours

It's about two thirds the gun that a Shield is. nthequiet:

Love mine too. Small and compact, super comfortable to carry. Fits perfectly into the hand.

It's a good pistol but shooting them side by side a lot of people end up liking the Shield a little better. The Shield also has a great deal on right now, you can get one relatively inexpensively and they're offering a $75 rebate on top of that.

What does it do that a 26 doesn't? Is it really that much smaller?

I like the 43 a little more but the price on the shield has me seriously considering picking one up as a bug.

On paper the 43 doesn't look smaller, but it feels a lot smaller when you're wearing it IWB. I carry mine every day, and it has improved my carrying habits. I had been carrying a G19, but wasn't real religious about it. I've found that my 26 gets no love at all, as it's no slimmer to carry than a 19, and for comfort I prefer the 43. If I'm going to carry for capacity, I carry my 19. If I'm carrying for comfort (such as long trips, movies, ball games, church, etc) I carry the 43. I've shot my 43 in a couple IDPA matches as well, and I score better with the 43 than with the 26.

The Shield is priced right, plus has a substantial rebate right now. The savings doesn't make up for the garbage trigger, odd grip/bore axis and sharp recoil impulse of the Shield over the G43, IMO.

The 43 is slightly more narrow than the 26 and is more comfortable than the 26 IWB. I have found that if its not comfy, I will stop carrying it eventually. I put a taran tactical extension on the mags +2 and carry a extra mag. The only change I made to it was a ghost connector that took about 1-2 pounds off the trigger.

It's good, Especially it's good at shooting it works well.
