Glock 43 – Who’s in line

@ JBP55 - thanks !

Here at Rogers. Chris from Glock, and I, had our 43's out for folks to shoot after the day wrapped. Both pistols ran, and were very shootable. I tried a fast reload with the flat base plate mag, and was rewarded with a whopper of a pinch. The OEM with finger extension, or Taran base plates are in my future. Would also like a lighter pull connector, and of course a Gadget. Pistol shoots great and is clearly top of my NPE list.

You may want to try a Ghost Edge Connector for your G43.

@GJM - hope youre enjoying a great experience at Rogers.

As always, great time at Rogers! Special treat -- my wife shot Advanced, with 114 out of 125 today.

Blue label as stated is 358. 385 for GSSF. I added Ameriglo fat night sights for 90. Regular retail??? I can only imagine.

Where did you get the option for the FAT sights? I'd be willing to give those a go, since that price is pretty much a wash with pricing on the CAP set for the 42...

Pretty sure Scheels had them at $599. Absurd. After the bubble they'll probably sell for ~$450 NIB.

Blue label around here is $380, regular guy price increase was $500 for me, and a few places were $550 (chains).

Got mine yesterday. Blue label price was $379. First impressions were decidedly meh. It is very much a single stack glock 26, not a 9mm glock 42. I put it side by side with my 26 gen 4 and other then width, the dimensions were almost identical. That said, the more I fiddle fucked around with it, the more it's grown on me. The trigger, for me is fantastic. It is heavier as some have pointed out, but there is almost no takeup. It is very thin. I plan on carrying it in a tuckable AIWB and it seems like it will do very well in that role. I'll be shooting it tomorrow and thats when I'll decide if it will be replacing the 26 or not.

Ed's Pubic Safety in Stockbridge, GA. I wonder why the blue label price is different all over? I thought it was set by GLOCK?

Yup. Assuming my G43 proves reliable I'll likely be letting my G26 go (edit- it's already listed). Other than a few extra rounds on board I see no other reason to keep the G26 as I know I'll grab the G43 or G42 when I want something smaller than a G19. Some will say they like being about to use longer G19 or G17 mags in the G26 and that's great if that's your thing. I just don't generally do that. I usually carry a second G26 mag as it's smaller and easier to conceal. It gets lost on my belt with a Kytex Shooting Gear carrier.
