I recently bought a Glock 43 to replace my S&W 442 for pocket carry. It is slightly more difficult to pocket carry, mostly due to shape. But it is FAR easier to shoot well. I also mostly wear shorts and pants with pockets easily large enough to fit the Glock.
I have about 300 rounds through the Glock 43 now and it's been 100 percent reliable. Not surprised there. Today I wanted to try some slow fire accuracy to test it against my duty gun Glock 17. Not necessarily a fair comparison as the 17 has a red dot and a full size gun. I was just more curious.
Here are 5 round groups at 15 yards.
Glock 17. I of course had to pull one shot...

Glock 43. I noted my shots are grouping slightly left. At this time I cant tell if it's me having a harder time with the tiny gun or if it's the crappy stock Glock sights. Probably a mixture of both.

Brought along the Ruger Mk4 to get some good practice to focus on trigger control. Ive heard a lot of people talk bad about the Remington Thunderbolt II ammo. But it's been running great in all of my 22s.
