Does the G43 still have a place in the ccw role?
- Thread starter sheep dog

I’ve got 4 of the S15 mags and not a single issue. I’ve run them quite a bit over the last year.
But if you’re having reliability issues with them, run what works for you.
Despite having a Shield Plus and a G48, I still carry my regular Shield the most due to better concealment. Sometimes that extra 1-2mm makes all the difference.
So, I think the 43 does still have a place for those times when concealment is the priority.

If some one is used to Glocks then a 43 would be great since they'd be familiar. Similar feel and usual trigger.
The small capacity definitely leaves it behind compared to similar size pistols; but honestly my small carry is just for a real "oh ****" situation and If it's a serious and heavy situation then it's truly going to be my shield to help me get the **** up and away from the situation.

Has anyone tried the Fabarms +4 extension? The Glockstore has them but the price is a little high $24.99 for the extension or $49.99 for the extension with a mag on it.
Love my 43
I have the 43 with a 48 slide, and a 43x mos and I carry the 43 most of the t shirt seasons. it's just so easy to conceal. I have the 43x set up with a dot, light, s15 and a spare mag carrier with an s15 +5 for a total of 36 rounds tucked inside the wasteband. It prints a tad but with a jacket is totally fine. I am all for choices, so if I want all the capacity I can, if I want to forget I am even carrying I can, and if I feel like swapping them all around I have the flexibility to.
Only if you must have a small Glock. 6 rounds was underwhelming even when it was new -- most others held 7. Capacity gets pretty reasonable with Magguts +2s.
It is a little thinner than the P365 and other micro double stacks, if that difference matters to you.

I don't buy or carry what is in fashion. What works for me could be a brand new Sig 365 or a Smith Wesson 3913. Every year, as in other products, there will always be a new gimmick or the latest and greatest. I am pretty sure my flip phone in 2001 still did the same thing with regards to calling someone as a new I-Phone 58, or whatever number they are on now!
Some call it outdated, but the 1911 can still effectively stop a threat today as it did in the year 1911. A dead threat is the same thing as a really really dead threat.
I know higher capacity means much in today's gun manufacturing world, but as I tell family and friends, if you think you need more than 3 or 4 rounds in an emergency situation, then the situation is extremely bad and you are probably not going to make it.

I just like single stacks so it’s whatever to me.
