Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns G43 is here

I like my G36 a lot, but I don't see the glock beating this CM9 out. It's a seriously smoooth pistola.

I'll buy one eventually when the new wears off and the Gun Shops and Internet Sales outfits get tired of scalping on the prices, as usually happens when any new gun comes out. Just because.

Some interesting comparison numbers

I'm with RL - I've got a PM9. Smaller/lighter than a G42/3. Already got holsters for the Kahr. Broken in and good to go when the pocket carry calls.

I have my share of Glocks but I have a shield and xds to fill that niche.I'm not into pocket carry so I will wait and see what the after market comes up with for mag extentions ect.Now if it was a G19 single stack I would have an order in already.

A person on Glock Talk took pictures of the Glock 43 and Sig P938, scaled them to the published specs, and then overlaid them. That’s all I needed to know. I figure about the same with the Kahr CM/PM9.

The G43 will probably be a huge seller. A ready made market already exists consisting of LEOs forced to carry Glocks who have limited choices for backup and off duty. For everyone else, it joins a crowded field and, as others have pointed out, choices are good.

What is the capacity on this?

I have a hard time going smaller than a G 23 but this would make a neat little "deep concealment" carry or a "backup".

Nice that Glock is still listening to the consumers.

6+1 capacity.

Its my understanding that this is an Austrian built Glock, and it had to be this size to have the points to have been imported. Same with the G42.

I replaced my PPK/S with a Kahr K9. The Walther needed a trigger job and I had to ground a bit off the hammer to keep it from chewing up the web in my hand. The K9 had light primer strikes but Kahr customer service had it back to me in three weeks. It was a soild gun, but I never got used to the long trigger pull.

I will revisit the Gen IV Glock 26, and look hard at the G43. My carry guns are a custom Hi Power and a G17. It would be nice to have something a bit smaller for when it hits 100 degrees. Generally all you need to do with a Glock is upgrade the sights. I'm hoping the trigger reach is close to the same as the full size models.

As a guy with big mitts, I liked the size of the 42 over all the micro 380's and I am sure I will like the 43 over all the micro 9's.

Dammit! I couldn't resist. Mine will be here in May.

I have a PM9. Good gun trigger reset is long. I may trade, depending on reviews.
