New G43

[TRIGGER_1]

Thought I would try out the G43 9mm single stack.....
Right front pocket carry works for me....
The Ruger LCP has spoiled me tho over the last 5 years....
I still tend to carry the LCP and love it when I do...

Trigger how do you like the single stack 43? I have been eyeing one. The only thing keeping me back is I have a Kahr PM9, which I love. Still the Glock is calling...I have three Glock's and there is always room for more.

What sort of holster do you use for your pocket carry?

 

[Sarge]

I tried front pocket carry when I first got my G43. Although the pockets on my cargo shorts were big enough, and it was comfortable, I just didn't like drawing the pistol that way with a round in the chamber. With such a short and much lighter pull than my LCP, my femoral artery begged me for something safer. So I use a Fobus OWB polymer holster at 3 to 4 o'clock.

@TRIGGER_1 how you liking that G43? Been considering one myself for a BUG or hot weather carry piece.

I second this @TRIGGER_1 ... my lightweight summer carry (wearing lighter shorts) has been a S&W Shield with a couple extra mags. I feel more comfortable carrying the Shield when I wear shorts, etc. but I'm more comforted when I carry my G19.

Hi folks.....
So far I like the G43 and carry it in my right front pocket in a BlackHawk Pocket Holster, Size 3......
The G43 is a little larger than my Kahr CM9 which resides in a Bearcreek Holster....
Looks like I will contact Bearcreek Holsters and have him make one for my G43........
Great holsters by the way....He made one for my LCP and Kahr CM9....They last forever and always look new...
During the summer wearing cargo shorts The G43 fits well.....
But I think The G43 wearing blue jeans is a tight fit for me....So the Kahr CM9 gets the job there......
Both the G43 and Kahr CM9 now have over 1000 rounds downrange and have never missed a lick......
But when fit is the most important.....The LCP gets the call..........

Sarge......And yes the G43 takes more time for me to draw it out of my front pocket...Gotta be careful....
Its on the verge of being a little to large for front pocket carry but it can be done.....
I do feel comfortable with it there but it takes a little getting use too....

I love my G43. I basically only bought it to carry into places Im really not supposed to have a gun and need the most concealment possible. So far its functioned flawlessly and it shoots great, but Ive noticed the trigger is a bit tougher than my larger double stack 9mm glocks.

Leshaire.......

You may have one of the early models with the heaver trigger......
My G43 came with the revised 5.5 lb trigger....

Possible. I did get one of the earlier models, but have no way of weighing the trigger. It is noticably heavier than my G19, BUT I have something like 9-10 thousand rounds through that, so its nice and broken in. Maybe ill try and compare to my G17, which is nearly brand new still. Then I should know if its a lot heavier or not.

The old connector # 33215 is the one that has a 8-10 pound pull
Mine came from the factory with the new 33564 and the pull is close to a normal glock trigger about 5.5
