I have both, 1911, 2011, and Glocks...As a matter of fact, I build Glocks for carry and competition.
I carry now a Glock 43....A great small light gun just fine out of the box and even better after i got done with it. Small, yes, I also have and XDs that I carried for a long time but it is close to a 1# heavier when load wit the same amount.
The G43 will shoot 1.5" -2" groups (depending on ammo and load) with out a bench rest at 50 feet. Even better at 30 feet (I can see the target when it is that close)

Locks are fine weapons, S&W M&P's are fine weapons and do not get as bad a hit as Glocks do (go figure).

Yep, it is summer time and as I posted on a Glock Forum if I need more than the 7 +1 rounds in my 43 and the 8 rd mag in my other pocket, I am in a lot of trouble, I am reaching for my phone calling HELP as I bend over placing my head between my legs and kissing my butt good by

I'm lookin' at the G43......as a new Summer shorts gun for walking/exercising. What did you do to yours?

Good price......some gunstores are charging a premium cause they sell immediately. I have seen full MSRP, and they cannot keep them on the shelf. That will wear off soon enough, probably already has in some areas.

What Did I do to my G43, well lets see...........
I first changed the sights to a set of Amarillo I-Dot sights, then I added a set of Talon Rubber grips, and then I went inside..........
I installed a Ghost Pro Connector and changed the spring in the safety plunger...took the out of the box gun at about 8# trigger pull down to 4.5#'s Nice for everyday carry........
I changed the slide /stop/release to a Vickers extended release........

going out side I changed the base on my mags as follows: Using TTI extensions i put the +1 on the everyday carry in the gun mag giving me 7+1 and added the TTI +2 extension to my other mag that I carry in my pocket giving me 8 rd's. These extensions are expensive, but I believe the best on the market and not plastic.

My holsters are made by Multi holsters (see the internet for ordering) and are super comfy.

Then you are ready to go.........
Enjoy.........

Sigh, if only true. Nice photoshop, though.
