They were so busy filling orders for men guns they didn't get around to the G42 and G43 until now. Meanwhile, as reported above, the G36 has been around for over a decade. |

The G43 fits my hands better, shoots better and is actually significantly smaller than my G19. |

The Glocks may not have the best trigger, or be the most accurate, or look cool, but the models that run well are cheap and simple to maintain. |

The Glocks may not have the best trigger, or be the most accurate, or look cool, but the models that run well are cheap and simple to maintain. Ease of maintenance, reliability, and accuracy were the deciding factors to go with Glock. Let's be honest, I'll never outshoot my guns - I just won't; so the Glock value is incredibly hard to beat. |

The Glocks may not have the best trigger, or be the most accurate, or look cool, but the models that run well are cheap and simple to maintain. I'll admit that I hated my friends G43, because compared to my Shield, I couldn't shoot it for shit. I got the Shield when the G42 came out, and I got sick of waiting on Glock to put out a small single stack 9mm. I have a shitload more trigger time on my Shield, and can shoot it pretty damn good. My friend can't shoot it for shit. He can shoot that G43 awesome all day, so yes, I think it does come down to trigger time. Before he got a job at a gun store with plenty of range access, I regularly beat him in head to head shooting contests with my 23 vs his 19, despite him having more rounds. They are both great guns. Personal preference at the end of the day really. |

For any of you guys that think a baby Glock like a 27 is too fat to carry....you might want to consider a clipdraw. Yea, a single stack 9mm is slimmer, but I carry my 27 or 33 almost everywhere tucked into my wasteband very comfortably. Though I concede, clip carry isn't for scatterbrains. You always have to be very aware that the trigger can be pulled through your clothing. (ie; scratching an itch without thinking what you're doing can result in the loss of your pecker)

The best carry pistol was made last century by Smith & Wesson, it was named the Chief Special and came in three calibers, 9mm, 40S&W and 45ACP.

I carry a 26 simply because I wanted more capacity than the single stack I carried for years. The size is slightly larger than the single stack but the ability to use 17, 18 or 19 mags is a plus also. I carried a S&W 642 for many years so the width isn't a problem. Capacity, reputation, cost, accuracy and length of the handgrip is what sold me.

They probably had to bring in people just to do designing. ETA: I'll support excellent US companies, like S&W. Screw Austria. |

I think it just fits some people right. For me a 19 prints when my 26 doesn't. A 43 or Shield doesn't make a big enough difference for me to give up 4-5 ends in the gun and 15 rnd reloads. I can also shoot it much better than the little single stacks. |

Why did they take so long?
Simple. Somebody in Glock sales walked in to Gaston Glock's offfice and showed him a Shield. Told Gaston that S&W was selling a shitload of these in the States. Glock was busily going over his untold millions in profits at the time and listfully told this sales rep: "I guess ve need to consider making von....zee vhat Engineering says and get back with me vhen I come back from holiday, next year."
