Glock 43---the single-stack 9?

[epwegmann]

Everyone wants a Glock single-stack 9x19mm subcompact, so the (Glock 43) new release will be a single-stack .45GAP subcompact.
It's how Glock trolls people.

You think? I'm actually expecting it to either be .25 or .32ACP.

Except shield has 2 things I don't want on my carry gun. That safety and that stupid LCI blocking the sights. Still need to get myself that g36.

Rather stick with my Glock 26. Its compact enough.

Wow. First time Ive ever agreed with anything youve said.

Ill ask one of my buddies to get me one anyways though. Im not embarrassed to admit Im a Glock fanboi

I love glocks, truly, I do.
But once you put a 9mm shield in your hand and feel that trigger, I have sincere doubts that glock or anyone else for that matter could come anywhere near the minimal dimensions or quality of that fine pistol.
I think the shield trigger is better than the full-size m&ps.

You must be the only person in the world to like the factory shield trigger. Apex duty trigger kit is mandatory for every shield owner Ive ever met (but once installed the shield is much nicer, no question)

Thanks! I'm a Glock guy as well. They won't be winning any beauty contests but they sure are reliable.
With a single stack Glock I feel like they are coming up with a solution to a nonexistent problem. Most people can grip and carry compact and subcompact Glocks with relative comfort. Plus a ten round magazine is always a win.

I have a 42 and its a great gun for teaching.


With no recoil, I can put in the hands of a shooter and actually see them make their mistakes. Healing, slap, anticipatio,etc.... Very easy to see.

Also, with a new shooter it takes away the drama/fear of a snappy gun. Once they are shooting well, I put the 22 in their hands an usually, voila!

next Friday 3/20 and 9am PST, Glock will have a live event talking about it.

Well, for what it's worth, I haven't shot one yet, just dry fired a couple in a couple shops. And always side by side with a Kahr or some other micro-auto.
I really wanted to like the Kahr pm9. But WOW. Talk about a trigger of suck! It was a mile long, mushy and heavy. The shield felt like a series 70 in comparison!

And the lci and magazine disconnect are two really easily remedied annoyances.
I'm buying a shield this week and they'll be the first things I deal with.
