I'll start.. 43X

Next.


LOL

 

I'm looking at purchasing a G43. Just because I want one more Glock. And it would fit a size between my G27 and Ruger LCP. But that's just an excuse. Because I want another Glock. I really have all CCW sizes covered.

 

Sig P365

 

Best EDC is one you’ll carry and shoot well. Sounds like you got yours figured out. I prefer double stacks but I just shoot them better. I like fat things in my hand . My current EDC is 26.5.

 

J-frame.

 

I really like my 43 and don’t really even think about other small, single stack carry pistols. I’m always thinking about different larger pistols, but never anything that would replace the 43. 43x didn’t interest me. The 43 is small, concealable and a surprisingly good shooter.

 

I think you are operating under the misconception that there is a best gun for EDC.

Everyone has their own preferences for what is best for them.
If yours are all met by the 43, then thats great!

 

Better is very subjective as there really is no better anything at least in theory. In application there are always alternatives. I personally don’t have a need for a G43 but I think it’s a fantastic gun and I’ll probably have one eventually. But when I can’t carry a 19/23, or 27/26 I have a j frame in pocket(5% of the time usually as a BUG). If 6 rounds as a primary carry gun floats your boat then I would say a G43 is a very hard to beat CC gun.

 

The 43 isn't for me. I shot one and found it too snappy. Not painful snappy, but not a lot of fun and hard to shoot well snappy. My 26 gets the job done.

But if it works for you, that's all that counts.

 

I found the 43 to be a snappy little biatch also. G19 for me

 

Sig P365

 

There are many many different choices. People decide based on different lives and clothes and environments. I prefer the 45 cal shield. Better caliber and I like the ergonomics better.

 

No there isn't, but there could be. A 43X with a short grip the size of the 43. Depending on the magazine, that theoretical gun could go from a pocket pistol to a compact duty gun with just the change of a magazine. We can dream, can't we?

 

No gun frustrated me more than my 43. Took lots of concentration to shoot with decent accuracy.

I could have done your post but changed the title to the Shield. I just handle and shoot that one effectively, without any extra effort.

It's great you're pumped about your 43, and that it works for you. Some people never find something they like 100%

Just saying everyone has their own favorite ice cream

 

I know my girlfriend carried a sig 229 in 357 sig for many years. She is about 106 pounds, and she found holsters that worked for her. I never heard her complain that it was too big , or too heavy

I gave her a shield in 45acp about a year ago with a nice leather holster. I think she mostly still Carrys the sig.

 

My P365 and G48 have the rest of them staying home these days. The 48 has the 365 staying home more and more. It's quickly become my favorite Glock.

 

I'll say it first...

S&W M&P Shield.

 

I find the Shield to be a better shooter than the 43.

 

I love the G43 for carry.

 

365 ,s&w shield ,lc9s pro , hi point

 

I liked my G43, until a Sig P365 came into my home. The Glock is sold.

 

S&W 642 for me.

If going Glock, I choose a G26.

 

I own the G43 & the G43X. I prefer the G43, it conceals better than the G43X does, for me. I also have a P365... yep, nice little shooter, but it sits in my gunsafe. The P365 grip is so tiny that i can`t seem to get a real good purchase on the grip during draws. I found i was always having to do re-grips after drawing the P365 out of my holsters. But, my main EDC carry is the Shield45. Thats 8 rounds of 230gr Federal HST HP whoop-az! The Shield`s shoot softer than the 43`s too.

 

Any of the Baby Glocks are better IMO, in my case it's a G27, but I'd be happy with a G26 all the same.

 

Had a 43 but sold it. It was a nice carry piece - concealed well. I just never warmed up to it even though I’ve been a Glock guy for a long time. It got replaced with a 365. Now I go back and forth between a 26-5 (my favorite) and the 365 depending on what I happen to be wearing. If you have a sweet spot for that gun, by all means carry it.

I have a G43 and go carry it a bit, but I prefer my G27 for EDC. I use the 43 for pocket carry and IWB when I walk the neighborhood. Not really needed here, but better to have it and not need it.

 

I love my 43. In fact, I shoot it better than any of my other guns. Saturday, I shot a 250/24X at a GSSF indoor match. The first shot on the last string, a hot case went down the back of my shirt. The next shot was out of the X ring. It's hard to dance and keep all of them in the X.
