Hello!
This summer I´ll buy my first gun (I have fired many guns already), but the problem is that I am from Slovakia where guns aren´t that common as in the US. I need a carry gun for my job (9mm would be the best), but because I am 168 cm (probably 5´6 feet ) and I don´t have big hands, I have to choose a sub/micro compact so I can carry it daily. (I often fire glock 19 at shooting range but it´s really huge for me.) So far, I was thinking about glock 43, but the 6 round mag is kinda awkward, and also about sig P365 nitron, I like that one really much. But as I said, I live in Slovakia and there are almost zero gunshops in Europe, I can´t test these particular guns on my own, or even get to hold them - there´s only binding order for 99% of guns. Nowadays, there are almost no guns in these few shops and only the most EU common ammunition is available (22lr, 9mm, 223, 308), such a bad time for a beginner. The question I wanted to ask you, is there a big difference between these two guns? Glock 43 costs here 600$, but sig is over 1100$, is the sig worth the difference? I don´t mind to pay more because I plan to use it for years and thousands of bullets, but 500$ difference is not a little. Or maybe share your opinion with other subcompacts for small hands. Thank you!
