\"The<\/a>

The long-awaited single stack 9mm.<\/p><\/div>\n

Just FYI, this top 5 list is all in good fun. I haven\u2019t even shot the Glock 43 yet, so my opinion is not really based on any first-hand experience or range testing (GunsAmerica editor-in-chief David Higginbotham has tried out and reviewed the gun. For his in-depth thoughts and commentary on the G43, click here<\/a>). With this list, I\u2019m essentially stating what\u2019s obvious to me. Since my knowledge of firearms isn\u2019t all-knowing and all-encompassing, feel free to add or suggest other reasons to purchase the G43.<\/a><\/p>\n

I should also add that I\u2019ll follow this article up with a \u201cTop 5 Reasons NOT to Purchase the Glock43<\/a>.\u201d We try to be fair and balanced. We try not to let our fan-boyishness shine through.<\/p>\n

1. It\u2019s a Glock!<\/strong> — which means by its very nature, it\u2019s easy to operate, it\u2019s simply constructed and it\u2019s supremely reliable. Add to that that Glocks are ubiquitous and after-market accessories are abundant one comes away with the impression that any Glock, let alone this subcompact single stack, is hard to resist. Even Glock detractors have to admit all that.<\/p>\n

2. Conceal-ability.<\/strong> Yeah, the G43 is small (the frame width of the G43 is just over one inch and the slide width measures only 0.87 inch, the overall length is 6.26 inches) \u2014 not the smallest 9mm handgun on the market but it\u2019s easily small enough to carry it concealed with the confidence that it will remain well-hidden while also being comfortable to wear. Weight-wise It\u2019s relatively light (22.36 oz. loaded), and it wouldn\u2019t surprise me if many folks see it as a more than suitable concealed carry gun.<\/p>\n

\"G43<\/a>

G43 vs G42.<\/p><\/div>\n

3. 9mm.<\/strong> What\u2019s not to love about 6+1 rounds of 9mm? I love 9mm. I certainly like it better than the G42\u2019s .380 AUTO. On a random side note, I don\u2019t believe my love affair with 9mm is mutually exclusive with .45 ACP. Meaning, I love both 9mm and .45 ACP equally, especially for EDC or concealed carry. To many this is sacrilege, akin to saying that I love both the Red Sox and the Yankees or Louisville Cardinals and the Kentucky Wildcats. What can I say other than spread the love?<\/p>\n

4. Price Point.<\/strong> Sure, it\u2019s not as inexpensive as say a Hi-Point, but Glocks tend to be reasonably priced. The MSRP for the G43 is $529, from what I\u2019ve read. That shouldn\u2019t break the bank. And if you do end up making the G43 your primary concealed carry gun, well, then $500 certainly worth it!<\/p>\n

5. Resale value.<\/strong> Demand on this puppy is high. Everyone wants one. If you get ASAP and you shoot it and don\u2019t like it \u2014 maybe it\u2019s too small for your hands or you like your other subcompact better \u2014 then you should be able to sell it quite easily on the secondary market. People like Glocks \u2014 actually, people love Glocks. And considering this is, according to Glock\u2019s VP Josh Dorsey, \u201cthe most exciting product release to date\u201d I\u2019m sure you\u2019ll have no shortage of takers if the G43 is not for you.<\/p>\n

6. Bonus reason to buy the G43!<\/strong> Self-defense expert and firearms instructor Massad Ayoob appears to have given it his blessing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
