Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns New Glock 43

Aaaaaarrrrrrggggghhhhh......I am still waiting on mine.

Dink

u can shoot mines

Thought i was next on the list.

Bought mine Friday, $519 and like all my Glocks, dependable.

Bought one while on my lunch break last week for $499. I had it until I made it home, then the wife decided she liked it

Now she has it and I have the Shield. Okay by me, I think they're both great pistols.

The Ameriglo's I bought were for the 42 and 43. From my understanding the front sight is the same for all Glocks. It is the narrow slide of the 42/43 that makes the rear sight different.

Thanks VA Hunter! I was waiting to find out so I could order some Night Sights.

I was going to put the XS Big Dot sights on mine but the rear sight does not have tritium in it for the 42 and 43. The Ameriglo's have yellow rears and a green front. Really makes the front sight stand out. Of course during the day it looks like your typical 3 dot sight.

Do you have any chrono data on any of them? Inquiring minds want to know. BTW, mine worked fine yesterday using the sling shot method.

sorry no chrony.

i will say the barnes 115+p in the black box are weak feeling and sounding and the 124+p hst are loud and kick hard compared to all others.

I shot my BIL's glock 43 and I see it as an winner but not for me. My man hands are too large for it. I've got other little pistols that don't fit me and are too small that I already own, so I've no room for the 43.

If you've got average or smaller hands, and or are an woman I think those folks will really like the 43.

A couple of the local PD boys had gotten the call a few weeks ago and brought their new 43's to run for qualification. I fired one on a 50 round course and it was decent. The sample I handled had a glitch at the end of the trigger press. The trigger felt like it had a slight catch at the end and it was not like the normal 5.5 lb Glock trigger on other models I have shot or owned. I watched one of best pistol shooters I know only shoot a 94.6 on a MDA. He normally shoots 99-100 all the time with anything he brings. could just have been the sample he had as I did not fire any of the other 43s.

Heads up-GT Distributors has spare magazines in stock, $21.95 for flush base and $29.95 for extended base. 512-451-8298 (ext:9)

Anyone get a good IWB holster yet ? Thoughts ?

Looked at Alien gear so far

It works with my Crossbreed MiniTuck for a Springfield XDs with just a little slop rocking it forward and backwards and it fits well in a DeSantis Super Fly size V5 (I think it's for a Kahr but cannot remember).

THANKS! That's the first extra mags I've seen available for the Glock 43, except for two on GunBroker, which sold for over $50 bucks, each!

My 43 came in yesterday!

Ran 50 rounds through it. NO FTF, or hiccups.

Best five shot group at 10 yards off hand was right at 1"

Best "fast fire" off hand group was 20 shots in 2.25"

Yep! This little gun is a keeper. Got to run more rounds through it, but first impressions are GREAT!

It is just enough bigger than the 42 to fit "MY" hands better.

Just got off the phone with GT. Glock has not made a run of the 43 with night sights yet and no one knows when they are going to.

I guess I will sit around look at the six round mags I ordered.

They did tell me wait time on one with standard sights is 120 days.

Dink

Wait time for a Glock 43 at 120 days? Just about every store in town has them in stock here. Even Academy has them in stock here.

I thought the same thing.

He may have been referring to blue label guns only.
