This isn’t what I asked for. I want a 43 that takes 43x magazines. Also a 43x in .22 LR.

Just give me a grip without the hump please.

What is funny is they didn't used to be. Go back in time 10 years or so and the M&P Shield had come out, some of us were still futzing with Kahrs, and everyone was screaming for a single stack glock. The Gen 3 was the only especially meaningful upgrade to the series in a while. I remember when the Gen 4 pistols came out and thinking wow I gotta get me one of those!
I carried one of these for-4-5 years before making the switch to RDS guns. As an iron sighted gun I think it's the best of both worlds. As an RDS gun I don't see a major advantage over a 19 unless you want every last FPS out of your carry ammo.
Some extra weight below the belt line helps IWB guns carry better on some people. The little extra velocity will help some of the bulk pack JHP, which real people buy and carry far more commonly than P-F likes, perform more reliably. The reduced muzzle blast that much further from the shooter's face works out for some people. This may be the year of the optic in timer land but normies still run irons and the G17 focal length and/or sight radius works better for some. And this very forum has griped about companies making full grip, short slide pistols when "everyone knows that the butt is the hard part to conceal."
It'll sell like hotcakes, work fine, and a bunch of you will wind up with one. These are my predictions.
The 19L finally is available from the factory. Glock is always a few years/decades behind the want of the community.
