Quote HistoryQuoted:
Why get a single stack G19 the G19 would barely be thicker and would be the more logical pistol to carry. 
A 43 is noticeably thinner then a 19. A single stack 19 would e be the same thickness as the 43. |

I feel comfortable carrying a G19-sized (or even larger) double stack on my belt. The only reason for the G43 IMO is pocket carry. There is no other place in my CCW strategy for a single stack full sized 9mm.
I guess if you're one of those guys who has to buy a belt holster to carry a G43 or Shield and claims he can't conceal anything larger, they might see a point in it. |

People cite the miniscule width difference between the 43 and the 19/26, but the functional difference between the two is very apparent. They might not seem much different on paper, but in the hand (and the waistband) the difference is pretty damn noticeable in my opinion.

No because in general full size single stacks are almost always nearly as wide as a double stack. So I see no point. The advantage of 9mm is also capacity. |

Granted, I refuse to carry a wallet in my back pockets because I find sitting on a wallet uncomfortable (and easy target for pick pockets) but how big of pockets you got? Left front has my keys, money clip and a separate small card holder. Then a pocket knife clipped. Right front has my Iphone and my flashlight clipped. 43 holstered at 1 o'clock. |

I'd rather S&W made a mid size like a G19. M&P with 15 or 14 +1 enough to get a full grip without having to use a grip extension, 4" barrel. 2.0 improvements, Maybe a better mag base plate design that isn't as big.
You might be able to convince me to buy a single stack of g19 size made by S&W in M&P 2.0 flavor or Glock, as I generally like that size and have other firearms that are similar. But Glock would need to make improvements beyond just the single stack. Get rid of the hump, make it so it has more back strap options if you want the hump. No finger grooves. Better trigger design. Maybe more done to ergonomics. |

It's that almost nearly that provides the basis of discussion. Almost nearly means not the same. My hand fits the single stack smiths much better than the double stacks, the difference being most clear in single handed fire. As far as carry ability, I guess 30+ years of carrying a pistol every day has proved that size and weight do matter to me. Quote HistoryQuoted:

No, because Glocks (still) look like they were designed in MS Paint. Ergos of a 2x4.
Walther already makes the perfect single stack Glock. How many people own one of those? |

NO, I wouldn't buy a single stack the same size as a Clock 19, because there would be no benefit to doing so. I would certainly consider buying a second generation Glock 19 though. I just don't like the finger bumps, and don't want to pay extra to have them removed.

Funny how people never mention the weight difference, I prefer to not have a heavy ass pistol on my side most of the time. And there are higher capacity mags available these days also. An ETS 12rd extra mag is nice. |

Buy one, yes.
I think it would feel great and be fun to shoot. Carry it, probably not. I bought a forty three. It feels great. The twenty six is not that much bigger. Capacity and magazine interchangeability... Unless it is ankle carry the twenty six gets the nod, even in dress suits. My nineteen does not ever sit the bench because of width. Always because of grip length. Either the twenty six or forty three would still win. |

I'm not a huge Glock guy, most of my go-to pistols are HKs, but I love my G43 and carry it often. I conceal it without issue but it could stand to be a little longer in the frame. I love how the 43 is slim and hugs right up against my side while carrying it. Doesn't stick out like the chubby 19/26. I for one would LOVE the shit out of a G19 sized gun (length wise) with the single-stack width dimensions of the G43. Seems like it would offer a good blend of capacity, shootability, and concealability. Am I the only one? |
