Glock 43 or Performance Center 9mm Shield

[sheep dog]

I've got the extension and the wife is complaining of snappiness. Personally I don't get it

Has she shot it much or new to it? I find generally the "snappiness" goes away the more rounds people put down range.

Both great guns but whoever thought a ported barrel on a carry gun was a good idea should be slapped. Stick with the regular Shield if you go that way...

Yeah, dont shoot from retention...

Do you know if there's a big difference on the performance center triggers?

Sear is different. Not enough to matter (IMHO) it's a self defense gun, not a competition gun.

The 43 is a nice little pistol the problem is capacity and the snappiness of this lightweight. As far as concealability and reliability and the fact that all work can be taken care of here in Georgia I would still recommend it

Honestly if I get the glock I was thinking of getting the TT baseplates to add +2 and I really don't really have a problem with the snappiness since the shield was also snappy in my opinion. And that's true reliability is a big part for me.

I've carried both Shield and the G43, I think the Shield carries much better. Having carried both I went back to the XDs

Where are you at Price Point wise between the two of them out of curiosity

Ive seen a performance center shield for $450 and $400 at the gun shows. And the glock 43 $450

The strike industries +2 are less expensive and very reliable and give the factory stipple for a nice finish

Both pistols are available at any gun range for rent. Go rent them and shoot em side by side. Then pick one

Which range? Because I've been to many gun ranges and tried to rent the performance center shield but they don't have any for rent.

I'll look into that if I get the glock43! Thanks!
