Default Glock 43 Review.

I know we are the minority here, but here is a nice review of the 43.
Waiting for mine to come in.

The G43 is a fine small carry. Every trip to the range and yesterday after shooting 10 stages of Steel Shoot I had a group loading my two mags ( 7 & 8) rd's and shooting...
They shot hard ball, they shot FMJ, that shot my reloads (130g Berry's with 4 gr of Clay Dot and Federal Primers) and Hornady Critical Defense and Critical Duty.

A total of about 50 rd's with a single problem.

ON Friday, I shot 100 rd's of Ball and Critical Defense indoors at 45 feet... Strong hand, weak hand and rapid fire.... The high shots, the belly shot and the shot on the right side off the target were weak hand. The center mass was string hand and rapid fire with a mag change in between.




I am using the TTI mag extensions, +1 & +2 which gives me 7 +1 and a back up of 8.

I am using a Multi Holster Kydex pocket holster and have a Multi Holster IWB.

I have also changed the sight to XS Big Dot's and a Talon Rubber grip.

My PM9 and my XDs are in the safe

Also wanted to add that the trigger out of the box was about 8#'s and crisp. But I went and changed to a Ghost Pro trigger connector and a light weight spring in the safety plugger.

The trigger is now a crisp 4.5#'s with very little to no under or over travel and a quick rest. The Connector has to be fitted, They also make the Edge Connector that is just a drop in.

Any question or problems give a call

I like what you've done to it....well, except the big dots (I can't hit squat with them). Do they make ameri-glows or trigicon hd's for the 43?

Don't need no stinkin' sights! Seriously though, sights for CCW guns are my lowest concern. Learn to point shoot the crap out of it and carry with confidence.

I have to agree Sights are over rated and in Cowboy you learn to shoot gunfighter, from the hip point and shoot, but without sights, when I plan to shoot at 300 yds , they might come in handy
