Pulled the trigger on a Glock 43 today. Now the wait begins.
AgreedYou'll love it
How'd you do compared to me?Much better shooter than I thought it would be for it's size. Definitely a winner.....

Straight out of the box, no cleaning or lubing, first three mags (18 shots) from 10 yards. Top black target.
Looks pretty good for rapid fire.
And for mortals like myself, I would be happy slow firing a small pistol and getting that result ... (although with the Makarov, I can get close to that pattern on a mag dump at 10 yards).
If you're game for going to a range sometime in October, I'd love to get some pointers.
Despite the magazine annoyances I'm having, I do love my G43 as well. Easy to shoot and not very snappy
...
October is good. Come on out to the "cabin" one day.

How do you guys think it compares to the S&W Shield?
I have a Shield and a 43. I give the edge to the Glock by far. The Shield does not point naturally for me and the grip feels too slim like it is mismatched with the slide.Yeah, I didn't break mine down prior to shooting either. I'm interested in how I'll do now that I put in the ghost connector. It really smoothed it out quite a bit.
If you can do it with a Makarov's tiny sights, you can do it with something else. Although, I am pretty good with my Mak's too
Never shot one. All the reviews I've seen, give the Edge to the Shield. The out of the box trigger, on the 43, kinda' sucks. It's definitely more than the 5.5lbs they advertise. I'm also not as good with the stock Glock sights. I prefer the 3 dot set up. That being said, I'm an eternal Glock fan. I spent $22, and turned the trigger into a very good one. Still looking for some better sights. I'm leaning towards the trijicon HD's in Orange.
