Sights for Wifey's new Glock 43 finally arrived!

I was referring to the new member on the block in jest. It is a Kahr forum after all I admit, I am a Gluck racist I also notice that a lot of people say they HAVE owned them in the past............If they are so good, I don't understand why no one keeps them.

Just BORING to me. Seems everyone has one. Kahr? What's that? Heard that a few times and I like that. My son said he heard the little Kahrs shoot on par with some full size pistols. Sounds good to me. But I may be a little off, as I like old p-rugers and winchesters

I've got one Glock.
A TALO EXO gen 3 G27.
After mucho grande rounds it started to FTF on me.
I think maybe mag springs are the culprit.
Never took the time to replace them and find out.
It lives in the safe now.

My only factory 9mm guns are Hk P30SK and Ruger LC9s Pro.
Both prefer 147 gr ammo (group better).
The Hk is a beast and runs Federal HST 147 +P.
The 17 oz nylon Ruger is +P rated too.
But is more controllable for me with standard pressure Federal HST 147s.

Those HST 147s, in standard and +P trim, perform extremely well from these ~3" barrel guns.
I'd give some a try in your new Glock.

BTW both guns have been flawless out of the box with a variety of JHPs

I still need to sort out the G43 and my upgrades. I put the original connector back in it because it has the new and improved factory connector. There has been a lot of talk about it and how it gives the advertised 5.5 lb. trigger pull, or closer to that, instead of 10+ that a lot of people have been complaining about. Some said it was better than the Ghost replacement, so I'll keep the factory one in it. I don't think that was my problem, though. It could be the Vickers slide release. I don't think that the Vickers mag release would be the culprit, but I'll take the pistol, parts, and tools so that I can vary parts and see what works. out of the box it was flawless for 175 rounds with 10 mags... 8 of them upgraded in capacity with no faults... Glock Perfection... until I mucked it up with "improvements".

I'll be interested in a ported barrel later, maybe... for Wifey, especially for +P defense loads. I'm partial to the Speer +P Gold Dots Short Barrel for 9mm.

I wonder if a new recoil spring/assembly would make your G27 feed correctly. They're pretty cheap for Glocks.

I'm still bummed that my P40 and PM45 were not reliable and I've been carrying my P9 or P380.

Back to TV and a nap!

I have to replace RSA every between 3K to 4K on the Glock.
Gun stops returning to battery.
It's got a fresh RSA and still occasionally FTFs.
Not bad, but enough to remove from carry.

Makes me sick when I can't carry a gun...
I've been carrying my Sig P229 357 or Ruger LC9s Pro.
Was carrying the Ruger LCP .380, but the LC9s Pro isn't that much bigger...

Some day we need a discussion as to why most right handed people shoot Glocks center right. Tried everything, flat trigger, all the options for backstraps, slip on grips, etc.

I could get mine centered if I placed my trigger finger just perfectly. Sold it because in a nasty situation I figured there may not be time for perfect finger placement.

Loved the gun, well designed, simple in operation, it just never fit my hand.

Well, I finally got around to taking the G43 back to the range to see what the problem was.

Since I found out that my pistol is a new one with the new connector which gives the 5.5 pound trigger pull as advertised... instead of 10++ pounds as many reported, I put the factory connector back in the pistol. It did seem pretty decent in dry firing.

At the range I tried the pistol again and had many slide locks on non-empty magazines, so I removed the Vickers Extended Slide Lock Release and put the factory one back in. This stopped the slide locks to the rear with ammo left in the magazine. After that I only had one factory ammo-related problem... a case that wouldn't chamber. I finally examined that round and found the case "wrinkled" at the rear of the bullet seating depth. This was the only problem that I had after putting the original slide lock release back in the pistol, so problem solved... nice shooting pistol again.

I still need to check the Vickers part and see if there's something that will fix it. The factory release is hard to manipulate and I have to use the rack to release method, which is no problem.

Now I still have to resolve the problems with my PM45 and the P40. Thankfully, I have my P9 to use as my main carry and the P380 is still reliable.

My Glocks have been great... except for the "improvements" to the G43.

Wifey's gun is good to go.
