Glock 43: Loving it!!!

Added my rubber Talon Grips the other day, best $10.98 upgrade ever.

It's shorter/thinner than the Shield and roughly the same length. G43 is lighter by 3oz. It's basically a PM9 with a 1/2" longer barrel.

Thank you for taking the time to post this. The quoted part is particularly helpful to me in thinking about buying a smaller 9MM. Love the Kahr PM9 but worry about Kahr's mixed reputation on reliability.

Seems like a 43 might make a nice little brother to my G19.

No problem! How long have you had your PM9 and any issues with your particular gun?

Kahr makes a good quilty gun but they tend to be tight for the first 300 round break-in. I think that's the biggest complaint about Kahr.

PM9 is more of a pocket gun, for which I'd rather carry my S&W 340PD.

The G43 is a great IWB gun for when lighter clothing is desired(or for when you just don't want to carry a full size gun).

Well I haven't purchased the PM9 yet because of that reputation actually.

I really like the way they feel in the hand and shoot, and twice I've pulled the plug at the last minute, I mean literally about
To call my FFL with the money set aside.

Might have to shoot them side by side.

It is hard to tell how these little guns will be.

I hated the Shield for example, but like the PM9 a lot, weirdly the Kahr feels fuller in my hand.

The 43 is more squared off like the PM9, the narrow oval grip is one thing I don't like about the Shield.
