Picked up my 43 from my FFL yesterday, just got back to the office from the range.
Now for the sake of full disclosure, I am a bit of a Glock fanatic so I am somewhat biased. But I was impressed.
It's a well balanced gun that fits my hand better than a lot of other single stack 9mm's of a comparable size. The mag that comes with the pinky extension helps if you have long monkey fingers like I do. I put somewhere around 170 rounds down range, both FMJ and JHP of different brands. WWB seemed to perform somewhat poor as far as accuracy, but in all fairness I ran WWB first and it's a pistol I had not fired before, so it could be in part being new to the gun. Higher quality ammo was spot on as I did my part.
But it ran flawless, not one FTF or FTE. I was "sling shotting" the first rounds out of the mag into the chamber. And of course, I ran the crappiest ammo first, let it get nice and dirty and ran some higher quality FMJ's through it, and then finished off with the JHP's, including a few mags of mixed FMJ and JHP just for the hell of it.
Overall, good little pistol. Now I'll just clean it up and list it here for $600. LOL. No, I think I'm actually gonna hang on to this one for when I need a deeply concealed pistol.
