If I get it earlier I will advise.
Glock 43 delivered by October. Wow!
I sent in the paper work and a check to purchase a Glock 43 through the LE purchase program. I mailed the paperwork on May 29th, 2015. Glock confirmed delivery of the paperwork on June 2, 2015. I was informed today, July 7, 2015, that my order has a PDD of October 2, 2015 and will ship around that date.
I am in no big hurry to get the gun, but wow the demand for the G43 must be through the roof.

I was being frugal. I only paid $358 and I ordered two extra magazines ( I think the mags were $30 each).
Sorry, didnt see the LE.

The Blue Label pricing is attractive. For me, I decided that waiting three months, in summer, wasn't worth it. I picked up a 43 for $470 OTD from my LGS. No wait. The summers here are quite hot and I wanted a slimmer and lighter gun for cargo shorts/IWB carry. By Oct, I will start rotating the 27 and 19 back into the mix. If Glock had released the 43 in winter, I may have just waited.
I don't regret the $100. The G43 has really impressed me. It's a pleasure to carry in July.

Production scheduling is influenced by Planning and not reacting. Its not profitable to have machines and laborers standing round waiting for distributors orders. To get your price you will wait, and since its not an issue no foul. I see on other topics people have been waiting since december for a Gen4 17 . People are still buying Glocks and models have to be scheduled due to demand and machine time.
The issue is not that its a 43, but a Glock, and they want their price.

Whichever is a better business decision?

I completely disagree. The folks willing to pay for a gun should have it first, and in my opinion, LE pricing on a gun like the 43 is pretty much a joke. If it was a "duty" weapon, OK, but I seriously doubt anyone is going to carry a 43 as a primary.
I wonder how many officers have had their bacon saved by their backup gun over the years.

As I said I am in no hurry to get the gun. I have seen them for $500 in gun stores and I passed. I want to let GT know what the production wait is for the long awaited single stack Glock.
Still better than trying to find certain KelTec models.

Thanks for sharing
Well not such good news for me , I sent in a GSSF certificate in Mid April for a G41 and a G43 I just got the G41 so with your information I am guessing I may not see my G43 till some time in September

Supply not being able to keep up with demand is over for the G43 in general. If it were a red label rather than a blue label, you could find it in stock at many stores.
