Glock 43 (Single Stack 9mm?)

[EX Carnival man 223]

I don't own an M&P shield but at that price Glock is a little late to the game, and a little high. 

[Krdshrk 3,877]

Beretta Nano holds the same number of rounds (or more if you get the extended mags), and is smaller....

[DevsAdvocate 112]

Not bad, but it has some competition.  Luckily it is Glock, so the name will sell well.  

 

I dunno how I feel about pocket 9mm pistols... they usually aren't that much smaller and harder to conceal over slightly larger ones like G19.

[Blacksmythe 71]

$580......for a single stack 9mm 6+1....They have to cover those blue label pistols some how right.

Well, considering it only cost <$50 to make each pistol, I don't think price matters.

It does... if its too cheap, people will think there is something wrong with it.  People are weird like that.  Just like how the HS2000 was super cheap (like $300), but then Springfield slapped XD on it and bumped it up to $500.

[PK90 3,570]

That reminds me of a used SxS I had for sale for $150. Nobody looked at it. I cut the barrels down to 18" and upped the price to $300 and it sold.

Probably will be my first glock

[DeerSlayer 241]

I'll get one, just because. Just because I like buying guns. B)

[MidwestPX 172]

I'll be passing. I carry a G19 or a Shield depending on attire. The G43 does nothing for me.

[Shawnmoore81 623]

I have a nano so I don't really need this. But I like guns

You shot the G43 already?

[PD2K 115]

I have no need for a CCW pistol since I can't in NJ. Wake me up when the law changes.

[MidwestPX 172]

You shot the G43 already?

Nope. I prefer the Shield's trigger to any of my Glocks and unless Glock has completely redesigned the trigger (which they haven't), I have no interest in it as the G43 would be looking to replace my Shield in the line-up.

[diamondd817 826]

Good write up, pics, and comparisons. It's basically the same size as the 26 but thin...

 

Height 4.25"

Another look at the G43.

 

[PD2K 115]

Official confirmation. For Glock fans, its like mana from heaven

 

   

[Polak 3]

Since it's the same size but a little thinner, I'll stick with my g27.

It's actually taller than the G26?

 

For those who own/have shot a G42, is that size pocketable?

[The Soup Nazi 0]

I'm leaning more towards the Shield but more competition in the single stack 9mm always benefits the consumer. Plus I'd rather carry the G43 over my Walther P-38

yes with the right pants it is and it's very light. I pocket carry mine all the time.

[PK90 3,570]

I made up a cheat sheet for the small 9mm pistols to compare sizes. All dimensions have been taken from the manufacturers websites and from other sources. They are rounded off and are approximate. YMMV.

 

 

ETA: If you have a suggestion for another, I can add it.

Most single stack 9's are taller then the Glock 26 / 27.

[DeerSlayer 241]

According to the chart PK90 posted my Boberg is still smaller than the G43 and holds more ammo. Can't wait to pick it up 8 more days of OGAM!

HK P2000SK might be good to add http://hk-usa.com/hk-models/p2000-sk/

Something interesting to note here. The Nano and G26 are listed at 4.17" height. My Nano next to my 26 is taller. Glock's height measurement includes the magazine plate, the Nano's does not. The Nano with the mag inserted is 4.25" high. Not all manufactures measure the same.

[Polak 3]

Not all manufactures measure the same.

That's what she said

[PK90 3,570]

I'll make the corrections and additions.
