I honestly can't answer till I buy a G43. I didn't vote.

This poll.may very well have been the deciding factor.

Now, I have a Shield. I got it for my daughter and another for my son but I'm hanging onto hers till she gets her LTCF.

It shoots pretty well but I would still opt for my G19.
I will try to shoot a G43 at our next group shoot to see if I like it enough to buy one.
