Glock 19-still worth it? UPDATE- It's not

[glockmaster]

I have to stuck to Glocks in the 9mm cal too, so I'm not buying all kinds of different size ammo. What do you think of the G43? Is it a true pocket pistol? I've only looked at them in the gun stores. I recall Hickok45 seemed to like it...

I have a G43. I like it a lot so far. Sold my shield. Its not a pocket pistol in my opinion, but then again I would never buy a gun made for my pocket or carry any gun in my pocket. I use a RKBA kydex holster that is perfect. Add a taran tactical +1 baseplate and its perfect. Only for summer carry for me.

Revolvers don't seem to have any ejection problems.

I have a G19, a Gen 2 in fact. Two complaints, one the magazines don't fall free when empty and sometimes trying to do a rapid mag change the heel of my hand gets pinched (painfully) when I slam a new magazine home. It makes me wish Glock would do something like a "Commander" with a full sized G17 frame mated to a g19 slide and barrel assembly.

Check out the Sig P320 Carry in 9mm. It has a full size grip that holds 17+1 and a 3.9" barrel.

I would not consider it a pocket pistol unless you have giant pockets and hands it's much larger then an LCP/TCP which is what I would consider a true pocket pistol. It's closest rival would be the Shield which I also own. The 43 is a bit smaller and lighter then the S&W making it slightly a better choice for all day appendix carry including while driving for long periods of time for me. I have around 600 rounds through it with 250 with cheap Walmart plinking ammo and 250 with Federal HST 124 gr and haven't had any failures. Over all I enjoy shooting the Shield more and think it's a slightly better pistol in the ergonomics, shootability, and price dpt but the 43 fits my daily activities with a bit more comfort and sometimes a little comfort goes a long way.

...the door stop references were bound to happen sooner or later.

I guess I'll be the dissenter.

I carry mine in my right front pocket every day. I wear jeans daily and it fits fine with the Taran Tactical +1 base pads and a DeSantis Nemesis holster.

Much better option for me than the LCP I used to have. The 43 made the LCP obsolete to me.

God bless you man I cant figure out how people do it with the Shield, G43 and even the PM9.

I'll try to get back to you bought one today, my third. Gave one to my son,sold one and just can't be without one. So after I take it out and shoot carry and throw it around the way I do I'll let you know. One thing no envelope with fired casings, is that something new I wonder.
