Shield vs G43
So I'm looking for a single stack 9mm for carry during warmer months and possibly all year around. I've owned the shield 2x before when the G43 was not available, but now that it is I find that I can't ignore it. I've heard ups and downs on the 43 as far as recoil is a bit more and the capacity but I don't think either of those reasons are anything to make my decision. I'd like your opinion on which you prefer and maybe even why you do.

Re: Shield vs G43
I only have the G43, but no complaints its a great little pistol. The recoil is not harsh at all. There is a bigger difference from my G19 vs G30sf than G19 vs G43.
Colion Noir did a pretty good comparison between the two, he's an admitted glock fanboy so take it with a grain of salt.

Re: Shield vs G43
I think it is a matter of personal choice and comfort. I have Shields and Glocks. The New Guy coming on the
on the scene is the SIG P365. The M&P Shield grip fits my hand the best, but does not deter me from using
the Glock 43 or Sig P365. The Sig has 10 + 1 capability and a great trigger out of the box.FUNDAMENTALS

Re: Shield vs G43
If I was in the market for a new small 9 I would probably go with a Sig365. I already have a Shield and LC9. The better trigger and higher capacity in a gun just as small or smaller would be my choice.

While I appreciate the advise I’d like to stick with the 2 I’m interested in

I prefer the Shield....especially now that it’s out in the 2.0 model.

Re: Shield vs G43
The 43 is technically better (as in size, ergonomics) and the shield lower priced and very functional. The shield feels like a bar of soap to me, the shape not the slippery. I'd rather a shield be in an evidence locker. They are Dixie cups.

Re: Shield vs G43
I like the Shield because it's not a Glock.

Re: Shield vs G43
G43 fits in my pocket better, so it's the one I bought.
I'll be getting the P365 once they have been on the market long enough to establish a track record.
