Looks like its finally happening. Just came across this video with Massad Ayoob. No release date given but probably during the NRA show.

Slightly less height than an XDS due to 1 less round in the mag. Pretty similar length and width. About 5oz lighter though. Sure there will be plenty of side-by-side comparisons soon.

I'll probably rent one and see; but I doubt it will be replacing my Shield anytime soon.

I'm thinking the same.

For me, the deciding factor will be the trigger. My shield has a troublesome and gritty pull.

Either way, this glock is going to sell like crazy. Good for them.

I will eventually get one just to not have to suffer the shield's gritty and clicky trigger pull. I could probably fix the shield but suspect the glock will be an overall better gun on all factors. I assume even its mags will be more reasonably priced, for example.

I love my G42. The 43 looks like its sized between the 42 and 26 (except a lot thinner than the 26). Looks like I'll be picking one of these up in the not too distant future. I'll give it a few months to work out any kinks, let the first rush of buyers pass, and wait for all the supporting accessories to hit the market without having to overpay for them (ie; holsters, extra mags and night sights). It's about time Gaston. This will be the number back up gun for LE within 1 year (partially due the LE discount). Write it down

Exactly what I'm thinking....trigger will probably be better, mags cheaper...for me it will be the Glock or the Kahr

I've got some in order and will be doing a review as soon as possible. I'm hoping for good things.

I already have a G42 and a XDS 9. My daily carry is my 30S anyways.

What a low-life. Nothing pisses me off more than when a purported gun enthusiast blatantly tries to F other gun owners. Dirtbag. He claims in his other ad that he had a buyer back out of that deal so he's relisting it. Buyer probably realized what other b.s. the seller was shoveling.

I wonder how many "overpriced flags", that a poster has to get before the ad gets dumped? I had flagged it, before I posted here. I just looked and it is still up.

I must not be understanding. Is this a scam or just 300 over retail? If it is the latter then is not the street price what someone will pay? Especially for something not yet relatively available. Won't the market sort this out?
