I have a Smith Shield in 9mm and I just bought a Glock 43. I had a chance to compare them to my Smith 442 and it got me wondering whether single stack polymer 9mms are the modern equivalent to the classic .38 special snub nose revolver? Both are light, relatively powerful, and easily concealable. But, both have limited capacity and sight radius, and both can be a handful to shoot. I can imagine a modern Serpico or Popeye Doyle carrying a Glock 43!
