I was one of the people who got tired of waiting on Glock to come out with a single stack 9mm and bought a Shield instead
Don't get me wrong I love the Shield it's a great gun but something inside of me always bug me that I should have waited for the Glock
Now here's the situation I have a good friend who's going through a separation
He is the same guy I bought the welder from
He told me he has a like new in the box Glock 43 only shot a few times and he had bought for his girlfriend and then I can have it for 400 cash
I'm thinking it's a good deal it would fulfill my need to have a Glock 43 and be helping him out by getting some cash in his pocket
Unlike other guys who buy a gun and then come on the forum and then ask if they got a good deal I'm asking you guys before I buy the gun if you think it's a good deal
I bought the girlfriend a Glock 43 for Christmas on black Fri. for $425. She loves it, but there is one warning it is a light weight gun. The felt recoil will be much higher than from a heavy gun. The girlfriend wasn't ready for that first shot, she was used to heavy steel frame guns. The first shot made her eyes open wide, the gun almost came out of her hands. I told to grip it tight & squeeze the trigger. Now she can hit pop cans off a barrel 30yds away & has run me out of 9mm so I need to get to reloading.
That's probably the Glock Blue Label price
I can get that at a local Glock dealer but Glock chooses what guns that they can sell at that price level
If they don't have the model on the Blue label at that time you cannot have the
lower price
Blue label Glock dealers keep the regular guns separate from the Blue label
Anyone who has a valid DD214, or is a first responder, LE or active duty can get the blue label price
Db I was looking at one but decided on the M&P Shield. My friend has one and loves it and I have shot it but I still like my Shield a little better. It's a Glock..... Enough said !!!!
Well I ended up buying a Ghost Edge connector for it because I wasn't happy with the stock trigger
It as nearly 8lbs pull
The Ghost I installed today cut it I half I plan on running a few mags through it in the moring
I'll post some pics
My first pistol was a 43, and I like it a lot! Its a little snappy, but its a lot of fun to shoot! I have a ghost edge connector in mine as well, and the trigget is still a little challenging for me. I'm a firearm noob tho! lol. Have fun with the 43!!
Yeeeeeeah, I dunno what I was thinking lol. I have since got a 19. I like the 19, but still end up shooting the 43 as well every time I get to the range. The 43 is a blast to shoot!.
I want a 43. I can't have one here in Cali unless it's a police trade in. My dad got one because he works at a gun store and a local Deputy brought it in to trade for a 26 and my dad snagged it. It's a fun little gun.
Shooting a 9mm in a Glock 43 or Shield is like shooting a 357 magnum instead of a 38 special, it's a little snappy and load but fun. Shoot that 9mm in a Glock 17 or 34 and it feels like the 38 special.
Db man your a hell of a guy, helping a buddy out by giving him some of your hard earned cash, and taking that small bad scary gun from him! Good pick up.
I'm a 29 yr Ret'd LEO (yea, who cares I carry my Glock 43 daily. Good basic self-defense gun. It has a stiff trigger out the box and is not a target shooting gun, but I love it !
