It?s my least enjoyable shooter I own, personally.

It?s not designed to be a high round count daily training gun and will not be really enjoyable for that. That?s what full size handguns excel at, Glock 17, 45, 47, etc. You can shoot 500 plus rounds with them in a range training session no problem.

But that said when I do train with my 43, I usually put between 140-200 rounds through it and find it really shootable for its size. I run the exact same drills with it as my big boy handguns, no I?m not as fast or as accurate with it. But my accuracy and times with it are pretty solid.

I run Trijicon HD sights on mine and shoot pretty darn well with it, very happy with it. Got well over 3000 rounds with it and can?t ever remember having a malfunction. It?s just a very solid little sub-combat handgun.

TBH, it?s my only Glock and my only subcompact, and I just like the triggers much more with any of my other pistols.

It?s quite snappy for a 9mm, obviously due to its size and weight, but, again, I guess for me I just don?t like the trigger, but everyone has their preferences.

I?m planning to try out a P365, as I do like my P320 but it?s not on my ccw as of now.

I?m not a fan? prefer p365xl by a wide margin. I think hand size has something to do with it though (and the fact I have much more trigger time with guns with a more standard grip angle)

Storm, great insight and I am blaming you for spending money on a new purchase I did not know I needed. Ha!

The 365XL is a great CCW carry and awesome in accuracy. Absolutely endorse it wholeheartedly. I simply appreciate the aftermarket presence of the Glock platform and simplicity of the manual of arms. The Shield Arms magazines make it a no-brainer, and the unpredictability of the CA gun laws is driving me toward immediate purchase.

I have two of the Shield Arms 9 round mags for my 43, so far they have ran great. About the same length as the stock Glock mag with the pinky extender.

I like the 43 better. The 365 with more rounds, defeats the purpose of having a lighter weight pants-pocket 9mm. If I wanted more round capacity, I?d just carry my 43x, 26 or 19.

STORMVET, my exact sentiments about the 43 as well. You just beat me to a response. I like th 43 so much, I bought two of them. …one as a spare.

I?m not actively looking for a second 43, but if I ever run across an OD one accidentally, oh yeah I?m buying it.

Love my 43. It's not hard to tame.

I just bought a second one in case my first one got lost or stolen from my checked luggage on the airlines, while I travel in and out of state. I won?t be able to buy it again very soon, so I got back-ups.

I like mine as well for its sub compact size. I didn?t buy it for a target gun I already have a 1911. I didn?t want a thicker or longer grip I wanted concealment and that?s why I like the 43. But to my surprise I?m pretty accurate with it too.

I've had my G43 for 5 years, a bunch of holsters for it, and have no plans on changing out for another primary CCW. I'm used to it, it shoots rather well for a 9mm micro, and I have tried the P365 and the Hellcat, I much prefer the G43. And I live in Texas, meaning I can go out and buy any 9mm micro or CCW for retail or less. One of the few Glocks I've kept recently, see no reason to change. It just works, and it does it well.
