I have a chance on a Glock 43 for a great price. It is greenish with a gold ish slide. Bnib. Anything I should know? This will be my first Glock!
 
I really like mine. Carry it when I’m in the city. Revolver when not. I think Glock is a preference thing, some people swear by them while others can’t stand them. The 43’s are solid guns, and shoot decent for their size. They are only single stack, so that’s something to think about if you’re planning on being in any shootouts (a full clip + 1 in the chamber is more than enough for me) :thumbsup:

I only got mine because it was a good deal as well. Wasn’t necessarily on my radar, I’m more of a wheel gun guy these days anyway. But I don’t regret it, and for the price I paid I’d do it again :thumbsup:

Thank you for the reply. I have my beloved .357 already. I can get this one for less than $350 and it’s got some kind special coating on the slide. It’s not a normal 43.

Hard to imagine losing at that price. Might as well try it out, you can still get all your money back if you don’t like it. Win-win :):thumbsup:
 
I've been thinking about getting a 43 myself. I got my first Glock this year, a 48 and really dig it. I felt comfortable shooting it from the very first mag down the pipe. Put some new sights and a Vickers slide release and it's about a perfect carry gun for me.

For $350 I would definitely go for it!
 
I had a 43 and upgraded to the 43x when those came out. They're great pistols. Can't go wrong. Plenty of holsters too. Just don't cheap out on some Walmart one. Also get a good gun belt.

That's a great score and the color scheme is very cool! :thumbsup:

I have a 43 that is cerakoted a neat oxblood color and it shoots very well. I totally cheaped out on the holster, jammed it in a Uncle Mike's size 4 and it was ready to go.
 
Good snag I really like mine. I don’t carry mine a lot mainly a G-19 guy here but when I want to carry in places and want really good concealing it’s the 43.

How do you like the Shieldarms mags?

I've got a few of them and have had a couple fail to feeds on the last round of two of them. I've only put 124gr through them, maybe try 115gr next?

Monofletch Monofletch Have you had a chance to take it to the range yet?
