Glock 26 vs. 43

Federal HST 124gn.

124 Gr HSTs have ran fine in mine and all my 9mm pistols.

After adding a Ghost connector, Trijicon HD's, grips and Taran extensions, the 43 is my new favorite CCW. Probably going to offload the 26 in fact. If I need capacity, I have a 19.

I really like being able to have spare G17 mags for both my 19 and 26 though.

7 round magazines. Pierce +1s are no bigger than oem base plates. Love them. Glad I didn't run out and buy the metal finger pinchers.

I think a G43 will be in my future!

I absolutely love my 43. Carry it non stop. Shoots great. I still like the security of knowing I have the 19 in the truck, but the 43 is almost always with me these days.

Let me preface this by saying I have no love for the Glock pistol lineup as a whole. Competed with a G19 and G23 for a few years, but never really liked them.

I recently bought a M43 for my wife to carry. Turns out she prefers one of my CZ 75 P-01 pistols instead. This left me stuck with a piece of plastic I really didn't want. I bought mine when they first came out, so not only do I not like Glocks, but I had to over pay to get one early.

A few weeks ago I decided to take my G43 along with a few of my 1911s to the range. I decided since I had bought the damn 43, I might as well shoot it before I sold it.
Much to my surprise I really enjoyed shooting the 43. I like the way it feels in my hand. Unlike most glocks I have shot, this one doesn't feel like I am holding a piece of 2x4 instead of a pistol frame. The recoil is acceptable and it is accurate.

I still have no love for the Glock lineup, except for this G43. This one I will keep.

Glad to hear that. I'd like to try a 43, I think I'd like it!

It is not offered in .45 ACP.

Yeah,yeah,yeah...lol. But the Kahr PM45 has almost the same dimensions as the G43.

I like Glocks. I like the 1911. I've owned Glocks, in 9mm, 40 S&W, and .45 ACP. I liked them all. I've owned many 1911s and like them all. What else is there to say. They are both great weapons, just different.

That's Mr. 2x4 to you!

Having a safe full of stuff, including most of those mentioned; the
G26 is the "Bad Girl" of the bunch.

My G26 goes everywhere !

I outshoot my dad with my 26 and him with his 19. Great pistol. Recently bought pierce +2 baseplate for my 10 round mag so I get 12+1 for my OC setup.

The sub Glocks are surprisingly accurate.
