Glock 43 Single Stack Nine

[Longitude Zero]

In other words, in my opinion, Kahr has nothing to worry about.

Agreed.

Marketing is probably geared towards G26 and G19 owners. Single stack option and same manual of arms on what they are used to. I owned Glocks as a new gun owner and slowly sold them all off as I found options that fit my grip and mechanics better.

I do wish I kept my G19 though. One of those pieces that should be in everyone's collection. I'll be getting another for sure.

I've had a 19 for years. My other favorite is the G30.

After 35 years of shooting, I bought my first Glock at a gun show today - a NiB Gen 3 G26. It felt good in my hands and the guy had a pretty nice price on it. I thought I might leave with a CM9 but I couldn't get over the trigger (I think the CM45 trigger is much nicer). The M&P 9s pro looked nice but didn't feel right and I wasn't jiving with any of the bigger Glocks. I also didn't see a single Walther PPK in any finish, or any Mini-14s for that matter (two guns which are out-done by others but still I wouldn't mind owning someday).

Anyway, I'm way off on a tangent in a single-stack 9mm thread, sorry!

I will follow that tangent! My experience is most Kahr triggers are about the same, except for comparing new ones to worn in triggers. About half of my Kahrs that were new felt a bit gritty and stiffer than they did after some rounds. Now, they all feel about the same.

When my wife was shopping for a pistol, we handled a CW9 that felt gritty to slide as well as the trigger. I knew it probably just needed cleaning, lube and some rounds. She ended up with an XDs.

Yeah. I was wondering about that too. Every Kahr trigger I've tried has felt pretty much the same.

That might be it. Could have just been bone dry. But it sure was gritty and long...?

Three Kahrs...all the same clean, non stacking, revolver like trigger. A big thing I really like about all. Forget anything previous wrt my checking out the new G43....don't know what the hell I was thinlin'.

Gaston Glock may have invented the internals of the glock pistol, but the outside design/look was "heavily influenced" by a design of the notorious John Dillinger. I refer to the "gun" Dillinger carved from a block of soap and colored with shoe polish for his famous escape from Crown Point jail. hey, the guards bought it.

Well my curiosity got to me...just put my name on waiting list for one. The Law Enforcement branch of a LGS here will be selling them for 411 bucks with night sights and I think 3 mags. Seems like a good price. He said within 90 days if not sooner he will be getting them.

My nephew (a LEO) just ordered a Glock 43 from GT's in Austin to gift to his his wife who recently received her Texas CHL.

I ask what their deal is.

Very nice. There are far worse things than trying out a new model!

...Even if her name isn't Claudia...

Locally LEO Blue Label is $398 with 3 mags.

I can't say the same. I've pulled about 20 triggers on various Kahrs. About half were the same and the rest were all over the map.
I've pulled triggers on about 50 Glocks and every one felt the same.

Co-worker is dying to get his hands on one. It will be blue label so the price makes it even more attractive. I'll have to try his when he gets it.
