Glock 43: Your Thoughts After Owning & Carrying for Awhile ?

[Trukinjp13]

I have Trijicon (Shirt Shreading) HD's, I'll check out the Mini Agents if they come in orange. Thanks!

Ameriglo Operators. Just saying.

On my 42 and 43, I have a few Ameriglo sight sets, but all have the rear sight fully contained in the dovetail, rather than extending to the rear edge of the slide. That makes a big difference.

My sincere advice is not to buy a 43 lest you run the risk of carrying it all too often over your larger Glocks...I mean, um, at least that's what happened to a friend. Undercut trigger guard, Talon rubber grips, TT+1 and Ameriglo Spaulding rear with Hackathorn front.



I find that with my size L hands (with XL thumbs 'cause I'm part monkey), that the Pearce +1 and OEM pinky extension mags let me apply pressure in a wrongful manner that opens up my groups. OEM flat or TT+1 is my primary, Vickers+2 for spare, my sole malf in the last 2yrs was with an OEM and that dirty ass Winchester aluminum scrub ammo that I bought in a hurry.

ETA: A bit of skateboard tape on front of the TT makes a huge difference. I started with a small strip that went around the sides as well, but it caused my finger to drag during the draw and hampered my initial grip.





*WTactualF with my pics on every site these days?? No amount of editing seems to get them to post right side up, when it does, its just a happy accident.

I stopped tracking rounds fired out of mine after 8000 or something but it has been a solid pistol.
+1 basepads from TTI or Pearce have been used for 7500 or so of those rounds without issue.

It is tiny, that diminishes my desire to shoot it much, but I regard the itty-bitty 9mm role filled.
I carry 124 std. pressure HSTs in mine which have proven to be reliable and accurate.

I've found mine to be a great little hot weather or suit occasion pistol. It's stone reliable and stunningly accurate. I run a drill with it that I call my Church Drill (because I think there's an excellent chance an active shooter at church may present a distant problem). Start from a real low ready on the Bianchi plate rack (8" plates) at 25 yards with a one second par time. I typically go 12 or 13 for 15 on this one and it confirms the little gun can shoot!

I'm trying out the gadget on my 43.

This gun is a BUG/ concealed gat when I need to/want to. CAP's up top, a TTI+3 mag, a +1 mag, and a ETS 7 round flush(yes, I tested it's function) sitting in a Dark Star holster when not at work.

Oh hell yeah. I can't run it that fast though. But that is big fun. https://www.flickr.com/photos/780361...posted-public/

Isn’t Bianchi time 9 seconds for six plates at 25 — you need to see if there is a G43 division there!

I find the 42/43 triggers to be quite clean for a Glock, and both models to shoot more accurately than most other pistols their size.
