Attention Glock 43 owners

Training training training....

It took me about 2,500 rounds or so through the little 43 till I felt proficient with it. I'm not talking one hole groups but Coke can accurate at 15 yards and 2 liter bottle accurate at 40. I have always been able to adjust to shooting any handgun tiny or huge, and it bothered me immensely that I was getting gigantic 5" groups at 7 yards and fricken 10-12" groups at 20 yards. So I shot the little f'r till I finally adjusted to it. It took WAY to much concentration and rounds down range to adjust to that little bugger. I finally did but in hindsight with what I spent on ammo, it was not worth it. I sold it and never looked at them again. On a side note never shot a 42 and I had to put many rounds down range to become proficient with the Shield as well.

 

Yeah, its a bit better feel with the extended mag. I know a lot of guys like em.

 

I haven't found that Glock will let you use a Sig in their match so I will stick with the 43 for now, lol.

 

That day I ran a mag thru yours at Bobs it was quite accurate

 

Bought mine from a guy who did a lot of upgrades. It cost me, but worth every penny. It shoots like a charm. I had it under control in under a 100 rds. I'd like to try one of those Sig 238 anf 938's just for comparison sake. I love Sigs overall.

The key to the 42/43 is running the first joint of the finger on the trigger vs a normal pad placement. The gun is physically smaller and lighter, resulting in your finger not being able to press straight to the rear as easy; as well as a higher ratio of trigger weight to gun weight that you're fighting.

I was having some left/right issues with my smaller Glocks until I switched to the first joint, not it is much easier and more consistent.

 

Still took to much conscious effort. I would go run a 1/4 mile to get my heart rate up to simulate bad situation and accuracy would fall apart again. I mean yes I could always hit a human silhouette out to 20 yards but that's not good enough to me. Maybe it should be I dunno I'm no expert.

 

For me the 43 will be a pocket gun. Currently the only pocket gun I own is a S&W Model 60. It will fill a niche as most days I carry my 26. I find I shoot my Shield more accurately at rest but when pushed the 26 Shines. I hope to one day shoot the 43 as well. I look at the 43 as a k frame snub capacity wise without the weight and faster reloads. I will continue running ammo unless I get to a point I see it doesn't make since. The only addition I am doing to any Glock these days are sights and maybe talon grips.
