This last week I shot my buddies G43 out in the desert along with my Ruger LC9s Pro and found the G43 to be a sweet shooting sonofagun. The feel is pure Glock on a wee bit smaller scale and it is light. Firing my mild handloads through both shooters the G43 seemed to produce more felt recoil than the Ruger. I shot the Ruger a wee bit better but I've put many a round through it. The trigger on the Ruger is a wee bit lighter and seems more like an AR 2 stage in the take up. Sights are more visible on the G43.

Both are good choices. I paid $330 for mine and he paid $480 for his.
