Glock 43 Single Stack Nine

[Redstate]

Well, after all these years, Glock looks like it is finally coming out with a single stack nine. Might be some competition for the Kahr. I will certainly be interested in checking one out because I am a Glock fan. My EDC is a Glock 26.

Good for the Glock fans...especially if Glock is already your carry platform. It's just not for me. My carry choice is a DA revolver or Kahr.

Kahr MK40 Elite 03

I've already got a single stack micro I'm happy with.
It's a 40 S&W though, but I'm OK with that.

I thought Ruger already came out with the single stack 9mm "Glock", the http://www.ruger.com/products/lc9s/models.html . trigger might be better, have to let a Glock shooter comment on that. 17oz., $450 msrp.

Too little too late except for the kool aid drinking lick boots.

Well, why not? Just about everybody else makes one!!!!!!!!

Too big for only 6+1 rounds. Makes no sense to me. The CW9 is smaller and holds more rounds.

IMHO the Kahr is also a far better quality weapon.

Eh... I'll gladly stick to my 7+1 Kahr which is a tack driver. Plus it's thinner and much better looking.

here we go, are we talking cute guns, designer guns, target guns or combat guns? in a combat situation the sights never come into play until maybe the 3rd or 4th shot. speed wins over tack driving. big wins over small. a single stack 9mm is a compromise at best, a double stack .45 would be better, if you could figure out how to carry it.
one time somebody posted a picture of a Glock21 with 30 round magazine and bayonet, I liked that. hehehehe.

The Glock 43 9MM Single Stack is almost a Kahr, but not quite. There are a lot of single stack 9s that are almost a Kahr, but not quite. Whatever trips yer trigger.

You are speaking of generalities. Having been there done that, more than once, accuracy beats speed! Skeeter Skelton is well known for saying, "There is an inherent lack of lethality in a fast noise." Accuracy requires sights unless at arms length and closer. A bigger hole is better but a 9mm to the head ALWAYS beats a 44 to the foot. My experiences are based upon personal exposure.

Bigger = better? Not with today's SD ammo. Ellifritz study - .380 got a one-shot-stop 44% of the cases; .45ACP got 39%. 9mm got 34%. Carry what makes you feel warm and fuzzy.

They say the average gunfight is about 6 rounds. What do you plan to do with the other 23 rounds in your G21?

I always heard it was about 2 or 3. Good point regardless. I think a single stack 9mm makes a lot of sense. Now the Glockers who could never carry one before can catch up to the rest of us who've been doing it for years.

Looks more like competition for the S&W Shield than a Kahr....Too big to pocket carry and if you belt carry you might as well go with a double stack....It will sell though because it says Glock on the side.....
