How do those little mouse sized autos work when you jam them into the belly of the cretin who is trying to dry hump you on the sidewalk?
I'll stick with a revolver for my belly gun. |

Before clicking on this thread, I thought it was probably going to be a link to a news story about some dude smuggling a pistol into a jail concealed in his anus and/or dick hole.
Now I'm not sure if I'm relieved or disappointed. |

My G43 was my "summer carry" gun a couple years ago, but it's turned into the only gun I carry. There isn't a better balance of easy concealing, easy to shoot, and reliability out there. My 1911s have a thick layer of dust on them. How well do you shoot it at longer ranges? |

Now some people will tell you that you can't get a proper grip on that gun, but I never really believed it. Who knows what to believe now. I surely don't. They come out with a model 43. Single stack.

I'm not a Glock fan, but the 43 is my carry gun. I'm 5' 10". 150 lbs., and it's the right size for me. I put an Agency Arms trigger in it, night sights, and grip tape, and carry it in a Raven OWB holster. I chose it over a Kahr CM 9 because there wasn't enough difference in size and weight to go to a gun without the record of reliability and durability of a Glock.

Yes, they do. Subcompacts are for suits and bumming around the house in shorts or sweatpants. What I don't understand is the Glock 17. Yes, it was the original, but it's too big to conceal, yet gives up too much sight radius on the 34. You either get a 19 if you want to CCW, or a 34 if you open carry / service pistol. The 17 should have died out. I disagree. No issues carrying my G17 or 1911. |

G43 is a poor copy of the PPS. That's funny because a g43 has basically the same design of all other Glocks. So are you saying that all Glocks are a copy of the PPS? Or are you saying that simply because it's a single stack 9 it's therefore a copy of a PPS? |

I like the double stack glocks. The G26 is great because with 12+1 and a 17 round reload you have 30 rounds in a small easy to carry package. The G26 feels a little weird in my hand but shoots like a laser.
For me it's not worth going down to a single stack 9mm. I don't gain enough in concealability to make up for the loss in capacity. However, I do use an LCP for deep concealment. It is significantly smaller than the double stack 9mms and it has a place for when you just can't carry anything else. |

The whole category is a sad sack of compromise. Point is everyone is adding baseplates to the Glock which makes the grip length the same as tons of other better pistols. There are guns with flush magazines but full grip like a G43+ baseplate, which means no compromising your grip during reloads. You cannot wear fitted pants and pocket carry guns that size, mabye if you're a landscaper or machinst, but not if you're wearing suit pants or non-walmart jeans. So now we're on to true single stack 9s. From another thread: Kimber Solo, Kimber Micro,- Quality control issues of a brand like Bersa but @ 2x+ the price M&P Shield- Not a true single stack, same issue as Sig below Sig P938 Sig P290- The whole idea here is a gun that allows a full grip without baseplates, but lends thinness for IWB Springfield EMP (insert other 1911 9mm), Springfield XDS- This makes slightly more sense, but still not ground up designed for thinness . Ruger LC9(s)- Close but same full grip issue. Also like the Glock and Shield more barrel length would not effect concealability Kahr (not for me)- my biggest issue is mags vomiting rounds, H&K P7- do want, can't afford. Walther CCP- Cool design, shit execution and QC. Also malfunctions and Kabooms Beretta Nano- OOB Glock 43- Gun of metrosexual Rambo, takes a hit in capacity without equivalent bonuses, but Rambo rationalizes it's okay because it's a Tactical Glack #1. Turns being armed into a fashion statement over functionality. Bersa BP9cc- 8+1, thin as all hell Shit like the Avidity PD-10 is following this formula of starting with a true single stack 9mm mag and building a gun around it, but IMO the range performance @ shot and blown release deadline makes its reliability dubious and I'm not hopeful. The Bersa is what the Glock should have been (except beat them by years and features, modular chassis/grip frames ala Sig P320, takes Glock sight), a single stack G19, which is what everyone is trying to build their G43s into. |

Was really expecting a loss of speed on the steel range when dropping down to the 43 from the 19 but it's really not that far off. Great little pistol.
Single stack appendix carry disappears even in the lightest summer clothes. unless you wea r a belt everyday (fatties) double stack isn't always an option. |

I carry G26's or G27's depending on the situation. The baby Glock grip is not a problem for me at all; I dont need a finger extension; I'm tired of hearing about it LOL. They point and shoot like a lasers and only get fed Speer Lawman. I use a SOB when facing the public (dont flame me about spine injuries in falls I dont fall). I use a cross-draw when in my car/truck on my left side to avoid the seat harness buckles. When walking around in the summer with jeans and an outside T-shirt I just pocket carry, but do worry when doing that about blowing my gonads off in a stress situation. Lately when doing that I just use Glock Condition Whatever (nothing in the chamber) and accept the risk of racking under pressure. Dont flame me I'm too old to argue about this $h!t.

What sort of job do you do that a belt is so restrictive? I spent 10 years on a commercial lobsterboat stacking 3-500 traps a day. I always wore a belt. Before that? I wore a belt in the infantry too. I shoot quite a bit and find a noticeable difference between big and small guns when shooting fast from concealment at multiple targets. I was genuinely interested to see how well you could run the g43. Especially from how you carry it without a belt. |

Yes it does matter. I seldom carry my g19. But when I do it's in a good stiff holster and my finger isn't on the trigger as I reholster. A gangbanger who shoots himself in the leg shouldn't even have been brought up in this discussion. |

I carried a g-19... eventually went to a g-26.... then later went to a g-43. I like the g-43 the best. I carry it everywhere I go 24/7. its thin enough and light enough I honestly forget I'm carrying it most of the time, and since its so thin, its never uncomfortable... I love it.
I really do forget I'm carrying it its so comfortable. I never forgot I was carrying the g-26 or g-19. the g-43 is a LOT more comfortable. |

To each their own. The G43 just doesn't seem to gain that much concealability over a G26 to me. G43 seems too big to pocket carry.
It's the butt of the grip that prints. An extra .16" of thickness doesn't change the concealability much, for that you lose the capability to use all the higher capacity double stack Glock mags. I have been thinking about the new LCP for real pocket carry. |

Walked out with the 938. Better trigger, better weight (I personally like a little more weight in my subcompacts), better factory sights, better fit in my hand personally. Mine does not have the rubber grip on it. For some reason those "recoil softening" grips make the gun feel insecure in my hand. The 43 felt "off" in my hand. Now I have not shot the 43, but I have shot the 26, and the 938 wins in the recoil department. Accuracy is is adequate for me, I have never shot it for "accuracy" or "distance" because that's not its purpose, but 10yrd headshots are basically effortless for someone with average skill like myself. The dam thing (at least in my hands) points and lines up instinctually, the only other guns I own that did that on virgin range trips were my precussion revolver, and my used shelf score .357 Blackhawk. Everything else I own had a new gun learning curve. reliability has been excellent, I have had it choke exactly once, but It was on my end (thumb rode the slide). Now, I say all of this, but OP you made a good buy. the 43 is a solid choice. This just goes to show how subjective all of this is. Everyone's background, body/hand demensions, and shooting history will make different firearms better for different people. |

Everything else I own had a new gun learning curve. reliability has been excellent, I have had it choke exactly once, but It was on my end (thumb rode the slide). Now, I say all of this, but OP you made a good buy. the 43 is a solid choice. This just goes to show how subjective all of this is. Everyone's background, body/hand demensions, and shooting history will make different firearms better for different people. I did handle a P938. I was looking at a few. I'll probably get one to try, maybe later this year, maybe not. The safety and SAO should blend nicely with my time carrying a 1911 and be easy muscle memory. I just don't use small guns very often. They're nice for the niche I use them for, but I still prefer full sized pistols for day to day carry. Once I get a couple other guns I want, I'll give the Sig a chance. |

Kahr PM9 > 43 LOL. As an owner of three Kahr's. They are shit. Especially now with downgraded triggers. Two best concealed carry pistols in 9mm I have used so far are the Shield and G43. I would even take a Bersa BP9CC over the Kahr. |

I've got the 43 with TLR-6 also, great combo.
Of course none of my G43 holsters fit now so I am summoning up the effort to look for G43/TLR-6 holsters. Won't be as many as a straight G43, but i am hoping to find something I like from the quality manufacturers. |

What sort of job do you do that a belt is so restrictive? I spent 10 years on a commercial lobsterboat stacking 3-500 traps a day. I always wore a belt. Before that? I wore a belt in the infantry too. I shoot quite a bit and find a noticeable difference between big and small guns when shooting fast from concealment at multiple targets. I was genuinely interested to see how well you could run the g43. Especially from how you carry it without a belt. Quote HistoryQuoted:

I'd be super impressed if you could post videos of both, that show an insignificant difference. What does body weight have to do with wearing a belt? My typical summer clothes are shorts and a t-shirt that can conceal a Beretta or 1911. Same as jeans and a t-shirt. If you do athletic stuff daily you're not wearing a belt daily. To be honest I don't care what other people carry so I'm not about to buy a camera and tripod. Try it yourself at 12 yards you may be surprised.
