Stack every Glock ever made on top of each other and notice the resemblance..... We can look and "feel" all day, feelings lie. Shoot it. I have 1000's of rounds down range thru 1/2 a dozen G42's and 2X that many thru G26's. The G43 feels and shoots like a G42 on a teeny bit of steroids. In my...

Shot a G43 today - not mine but an LEO friend and range buddy. Before one dismisses it you better shoot it. Selling my G26 Gen4 and shooting pix this weekend...it's that good. If it works for you. If not good luck with yer other single stack 9mm. VooDoo

My name is on a list with 50ish ahead of me - the first G43's arrived at my LGS today and I was there when a buddy picked his up. We put 100 rounds thru it. Long story short the G43 is a 9mm G42, not a scaled down G26. Soft shooting and flawless like the G42. Glad I waited for it - I'm...

Dude, you need to handle a Pico. Not for everyone but some of the stuff you are sayin' make me think you really need to check it out. Smaller but it is hammer fired, real sights, built like a Swiss watch and a little tank. Heavy DAO trigger pull and soft shooter. Not perfect and it is in fact...

It depends on what one defines as "marginally narrower" as for me 4mm is pretty big. I handled a G43 today in direct comparison to the G42 and G26 we own. I have to agree with Massad Ayoob's statement that the G43 is less a "slimmed down G26" and more a "G42 on a very slight dose of...

How one is built and what weapons they carry make the biggest demands on holster type - there can be no one size fits all. I prefer leather and carry a Beretta Px4 SC and G26 (and others) AIWB and I use High Noon Holsters preferring the zero cant Hidden Ally and Mr. Softy. VooDoo

The .38 Special version of the LCR, with factory loads of almost any tupe, still is a difficult gun for many of smaller stature or limited physical size to control - small, light weight revolvers are hard on women and small people. If yer gonna find a 9mm LCR substitute I'm gonna digress and...

As a training tool, like in the laser cartridges that emit a spot/beam when you pull the trigger, used as a training aid to show you where the bullet would be hitting in dry fire I think is an excellent use of lasers on firearms. As a sight it is not for me - too slow and makes me "chase" the...

My Wife lovers her LCR in .38 but we have to shoot it with hand loads to keep it from sterilizing her with recoil. We shoot 110 gr. wadcutters running hot and it keeps the gun real for her. We love those little revolvers but, let's face it, a 13 ounce revolver with 9mm, .38 Special, or .357...

I'm not a big fan of Kahr as all the guns I tested in a variety of calibers tended to be finicky about ammo (with some exceptions) and not as accurate from the get go for me as other guns. Which was what the evaluations 2 years ago were all about - find the guns that shot very well and fit me...

I'm extremely excited and pre ordered mine already. I shot all the other makers 9mm single stacks and passed preferring my G26. Time will tell if the G43 replaces my G26 but if it is basically a G42 on a tiny bit of steroids as touted my Mas Ayoob I'm betting it is a permanent addition to my...

I shot every one I could rent, borrow, or buy including many you mentioned and listed. I rejected the all metal single stack 1911 styles right off the bat as no better shooting than other platforms (like the G17, G19, and G26) right out of the box and in my hands but being heavy for the...

Exactly. If it works for me I'm selling my G26. If it doesn't I want to evaluate it for my needs and will resell it while the demand is still very high. I have to shoot guns to properly evaluate them...looks, "how it feels" marketing, and the opinions of others do not influence me much. I buy...

Pre ordered at the LGS last weekend along with over 50 other individuals. It'll be a while before I get mine I'm sure. I have waited this long and shot all the other single stack 9mm offerings so another few months will be easy. I'm in from the beginning just like we were with the G42. I...

I am replacing my G26 with the G43 as a primary carry pistol in rotation with other 9mm pistols. I shot all the other single stack 9's looking for something a little thinner and didn't like them better than my G26. The G43 is toted by Massad Ayoob as a "G42 on a little bit of steroids" and...

Recoil and control ability in getting fast, rapid follow ups.... Always shoot and carry (for SD) the largest caliber, most powerful gun you can get fast and accurate follow ups with. If that's 9mm, go for it. A little too snappy? Back er down to .380. Preferably you will shoot and test the both...

I'd recommend the Beretta Pico but I think it may be too small...not for everyone but it's my constant pocket companion with the flush mag having put over 1000 rounds down range without a problem. http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=767874 The trigger pull is pretty stiff when...

None of the guys I talked to were real fond of being shot at all. A couple of them had been involved in a number of shootings and carried wad cutters because of their experiences with that type of bullet in a gunfight. These guys were all in their 80's and were county cops years ago - buddies...

My go to load for our LCR is 110 gr. wad cutters running hot. I interviewed some older cops who used to carry these and have shot/been shot with similar. They are controllable out of the LCR in rapid fire and my tests show them to do things to test media that is pretty impressive. VooDoo

Are there 45 ACP that are fun to fire? Depending on who's shooting it there is no easy answer. In a black or white world? No. There are no "fun" to shoot .45 guns. Generally they have exacerbated recoil response and most of the folks who find them "fun" (which is a relative concept) are...
