I was clicked planning on trashing the Gew43 for being overgassed and mechanically inaccurate.

I guess I'll point out that the P365 instantly made the G43 Glock pointless instead.

That said: if I didn’t have it, I would probably buy a P365. Those weren’t around when I got my g43. Because I do have it, I can’t justify trading it for one, though.

I had one for 3 years liked it as it was compact and slim frame. But just sold it last week and picked up a Canik mc9 which is basically just a tad taller and a cunt hair wider and holds 12 vs 6.

I did shoot the g43 pretty good though and it’s accuracy was pretty good. Shot the Canik right after I bought it and it shoots very good and really accurate for me.

I have a tp9sf I got last year and been very happy with it and using it as my main target gun while giving my 1911 a break.

I bid on a few about a decade ago and was just off on the price. I know for fact that I easily could have gotten one of them. It would have probably been worth putting the money up for one of those.

Better...but that P365

I have a 365 then I bought the x grip. The pinky extension is the same size as the 12 mag of the 365X and 365XL.

My 43X is almost the exact size as the 365X. 15 rounds vs 12. 50 bucks vs 30 on mags.

The feel of the 365 is spot on. Then agian I like the sig module better than the Wilson

The Glock has more redundant internal safteys independent of each other. The sig is based off one one point on the striker.

I watched a guy break one and he had to use an incredible amount of force outside the gun to break it. Highly unlikely to happen. He is a firearms engineer. He thought it would still be incapable of firing due to low mass and the spring. However it fired.

I like the thumb saftey on my 365s. I'm a single action 1911CZHP guy.

But I carry these appendix and the partially cooked Glock vs full cooked 365 striker pointed at my junk just makes me feel a bit easier.

I'm looking at the Hellcat Pro. 15 round thumb saftey and internals a lot like the Glock

Loved mine with +1 mags, but my 43X with 15 rd mags is more than twice the firepower for a just slightly bigger grip. The 43 sits in the safe most of the time as a result nowadays, unless I am going for deeper carry (maybe once every couple months or so at most).

Will get some of the Shield mags for the 43 eventually, might get its way back into the carry roster if they work as well as the 43X version has for me.
