I finally got a chance to put 50 rounds through mine yesterday. Initial impressions are great. I was a little worried about recoil and muzzle flip in the small package/abbreviated grip, but it was a non-issue. I've previously owned a couple of 9mm Shields and to my hands, the G43 is more controllable. I let my 8 year old and 12 year old run 10 rounds each through it. The 8 year old struggled a little bit with muzzle flip, but the 12 year old ran it just fine.
