Glocks are the best handguns period !
I love all the guns experts that have taken down so many perps or intruders they have the best insight on how each round performed in each situation. I have a G21 and love it because it fits my hands great, my favorite gun. I also own a Sig 9mm and G42 in .380 and have confidence that my shooting would “do the job” no matter what gun I grabbed, and the G43 will fit right in.
I have 4 Glocks…..42, 17, 23, 36. These are the most reliable guns on the market. I am looking forward to the 43 9mm. I have the 42 .380 and it’s a great CCW with the Glock reliability. A 9 in the same size is a dream. CAN’T WAIT
Recently purchased a G lock 26 gen4 with trijicon HD sites #104O. I was going to wait until the G lock 43 was avail but the 26 looks to be a better choice for a everyday carry. The 26 is a proven reliable pistol it allows for the use of different capacity magazines upgrades and holsters are easy to find. I have shot the G lock 42 and was not impressed the size of the frame and limited capacity that it has. At my local gun shop they have many used G lock 42 pistols to purchase I feel that… Read more »
I have several S&W MP 9mm and 3 or 4 Glocks in 9 and in 40, and the Glock 9mm with some updated internal parts shoots as good as any of them. If you find a local gunsmith that u can rely on, I would suggest that you have him put some updated parts in your older Glocks and fine tune any of the guns for better and easier shooting.
S&W already makes a pistol that has similar traits to this weapon -except it is narrower less than 1 inch at any point, slightly shorter holds one more round in the 9mm & the .40 holds 6 rounds normal & with extended mag it holds 7 – it’s known as the MP/shield – I have both of them – got to wonder what the price of this Glock is the “MP/shield sells for around $450 & it wears real nice .
If it is as big as the G42, I won’t be impressed. My G33 is barely bigger than the G42. Side by side it is a bit wider and bit longer and a bit taller. Unless you’re a midget that needs that small amount of difference, the G33 is also a LOT more powerful and holds 10 rounds.
It’s only interesting if it fits in a pocket better than a pm9. If it needs to go in my belt I’ll just carry a g26 that I can load g17 mags in whenever I feel like it. I chose glock for capacity and reliability, but this gun just got rid of one reason I like glock. Unless they did something better than the shield or pm9 it brings no significant usefullness over guns that are already out there. I really wish consumers hadn’t pushed glock to make a gun cause everybody else did.
I’m not a fan of Glock handguns because they don’t point well for me. The one thing I do like about Glocks though, I’ve never heard anyone criticize their reliability, something that everyone is looking for in their chosen handgun. Reliability is a must in every carry handgun whether it is a semi- or a revolver.
Only 6 rounds? And this is supposed to be an improvement? Better just get a revolver and have zero chance of it jamming.
