Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns New Glock 43

gt has night sights. i bought some last night

Price ? Link ?
Thanks

i have a shield 9mm and i just cant justify the cost nor the difference in ergonomics, i think the shields feels better in MY hands

LGS had them for 475.

First pocket gun i've handled that felt good

Thank you , but i will just stick with my Glock 19

i have that also

I went to LGS to get a 43....and wound buying a 19 Gen 4 today

I guess mine is never going to get here. At least I have five spare mags to look at until it arrives.

Dink

My local store has gotten a steady supply of blue label 43's in since they came out but can't get any spare mags. Go figure? Heck they still have over 300 on the blue label waiting list.

Which brand of holster are you guys that have the 43 considering on using?

I found this holster on eBay from a store called "stay holstered". I had experience with these from my Glock 27 and Glock 30S. It works great for the lightweight Glock 43 and tucks it in well. It is easy to take on and off, you can adjust the retention, and it is very reasonably priced.

Don't blue label guns come with 3 mags anyway? I could live with that since i'd get a couple of +2 bases anyway

Normally yes, but my 43 only came with 2.

If you want a small lightweight carry pistol in 9 mm, then buy a Kahr P9. The P9 is about as good as it gets in a lightweight carry pistol

For me the G43 is a backup or alternative carry gun. My current holsters include:

Dale Fricke Zacchaeus, which I have been trying IWB. I think it would work for pocket carry but I would need to make the lanyard longer. It may be the one design I could maybe, maybe consider trying AIWB because the gun is out before the trigger guard gets uncovered.



DeSantis Super Fly size V5, which I think is for the Springfield XDs. It works OK in the pocket. Shown with gun.



DeSantis Die Hard. This holster was designed for the Springfield XDs and the only difference I can see from the one currently marketed for the G43 is a squaring for the trigger guard difference. (Side note-it was a total FAIL for the XDs because the ambidextrous magazine release kept getting bumped and releasing the magazine. I could not bring myself to give it away, so there it sat, until now.)



The biggest problem I am finding right now is locating a nice IWB dual magazine pouch for the flush magazines.

If I'm carrying the 43, it's in a DeSantis Nemesis in my front pocket. If I'm going to use a IWB holster, it'll have my Glock 19 or 1911 in it.

If I'm carrying the 43, it's in a DeSantis Nemesis in my front pocket. or a desantis ankle rig

For whatever reason, the blue label 43's only come with 2 magazines.

more of them showing up around here... local store has all Glocks at $75 off making the 43 a nice $405.00

I use the MIC holster, have a Alein Gear IWB on order and Rafter L is making a pattern for a IWB.

Rafter L is top notch !! Veteran owned, made in the USA !!

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.
