I'm looking forward to trying one out. If the funds materialize one may become my BUG.
Just got word that mine shipped today, should have it Tue or Wed.
I got to fondle one today. It's got a solid feel to where I don't see recoil being a problem with a 9.
It's basically the same size as the 42 but heavier.
I liked the gun except for sights and trigger. One may replace my little P3AT after I'm sure the bugs have been exterminated.
I carry an Ultra carry 1911 a lot. Recoil isn't a factor. I'd MUCH RATHER have recoil on a small gun like that. It reduces the chances of a poor grip causing cycling issues.From reading posts on GlockTalk, and on a couple of YouTube videos, guys have mentioned the recoil was noticeable.
Finally got it in my hands
I really like the feel of the 43. The 42 felt just a touch small for my hands (but shoots great) and the 43 feels just right. The 43 feels heavier than you would think when looking at it next to the 42 and comparing them but it is nowhere near being heavy. The trigger feels better than the stock 42 trigger did. Definitely acceptable for a Glock. I definitely prefer having the magazine extension on the mag, I don't like my pinky hanging out there with nothing to do but I don't expect having an issue controlling the pistol without it.
Tomorrow will be a good day and I'll post some feedback once I get all of the ammo through it that I can.
Meh...
