Talk about cart before horse!! http://www.calegalmags.com/Glock-43-9mm--10rd-Single-Stack-Magazine-_p_1221.html

 

I want a dinky ass gun so I can fill it with an oversized mag. Makes you realize that some cases of Glock butt can be fatal.

I'm rather curious, if it's a USA made gun... why do the pics say AUSTRIA?

[TNWNGR]

OK. Aside from being a Glock how is the G-43 going to stack up against the very reliable SA XDs9? That's one purchase I hadn't thought I'd make but am glad to have done so. Now as to the purchasing of a G-43, Well unless I end up with one in my hands with a screaming deal I can't say no to I think I'll wait about a year. Based upon past history there's going to be some little irks crop up in the newest models release.

I'll reserve final judgment till I have one in hand and get to shoot it. But still think I'll favor my Shields.

[musicman]

I'm not as kind as you, HP. I'm just waiting for all the Glockaholics to lose their minds and sell their Shields stoopid cheap so I can pick up a few more. It seems Shields are just about selling for new money on the used market now. I'm looking forward to picking some up maybe around the $275 mark.

I can read, Mikey :). Those are first runs of a closely guarded secret. It's a product specifically for the US market.

Saw "blue label" Shields at 299.99 several weeks ago in Clarksville.  Standard "blue label" price is 329.99.

If I could buy at that price, I'd be tempted for another one.

I'll most likely end up with a 43, I kind of like the size... just had my name added to the list at my LGS.

I'm just hoping maybe I can find one of the rabid Glock-o-philes that wants to sell one of his 37 Glock 19s at a decent price to buy one of the first of these on Gunbroker for over a grand.

 

I wouldn't mind having a G19 again.   :pleased:

Thanks for the size comparison shot. The 42 is too big for me to pocket carry (grip is too long) which would be the only reason I'd pick up a 43. I bought a Sig P938 last year anyway, so I wasn't going to get rid of it unless the Glock 43 did something better than it anyway.

[Erik88]

After seeing the comparison I'm really not that impressed but I will try and reserve judgement until I can actually get one in my hands. 

[john455]

I love my Glock, but if this causes the S&W Shield drop to around $250 slightly used, this guy will buy a couple Shields and grin like a possum!!

[Chucktshoes]

Like several others here, I am greatly looking forward to the G43 simply for the effect it will have to the secondary market for the M&P Shields. I have no interest in owning a Glock but will be looking for the Shields the Glock fans will dumping to buy a G43.

[Slappy]

I will be looking forward to the cheap shields....and my new G43!! haha  

[Steelharp]

Interesting to see so many Shield fanboys. I'm surprised. Possibly the :poop: iest trigger in a pocket gun available.

True, but then the g43 hasn't been released yet either. :lol:

[Refleks]

I liked the shield, but grip length was always the dominant trait that printed for me (IWB usually 3-4 o'clock), not so much thickness.  So even the M&P9c printed less despite being double stack since it had a shorter grip than the shield.  The G-26 even better.

 

Of course who knows, maybe I'll fall in love with the 43 and FIND a niche for it ;)

If this is as good as the kit for the M&P, it's a great trigger.

[Patton]

I actually think my Shield has a better trigger than my Glocks, but M&P's are known for inconsistent triggers one gun to the next.

[musicman]

Ditto Patton. My Shield has a super consistent, short, crisp pull with a surprisingly clean break for a striker fired gun. Bone stock. I'd guess it's right around 6lbs, which is perfect for a carry gun, imho.
