Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key shooting characteristics of the Glock 43?

The Glock 43 features a trigger with a distinct wall and break, though it may feel heavier than advertised. Initial shooting can be challenging, with groups printing left, but accuracy improves significantly with practice. Recoil is manageable but snappier than some competitors like the M&P Shield.

What issues were encountered during the Glock 43 shooting review?

During the initial break-in period with approximately 250 rounds, two malfunctions were observed: a stovepipe and a failure to feed. These occurred early on and the gun ran flawlessly afterward. The magazine release was also noted as being stiff.

What modifications are recommended for the Glock 43?

The presenter recommends upgrading the factory sights, possibly with Glock 42 sights, and adding Talon Grips to enhance the grip texture, which can become slick after extended shooting.

How does the Glock 43 perform in terms of accuracy for its size?

For its compact size, the Glock 43 is considered a good shooter with decent accuracy. While initial groups may be spread out, with practice and adaptation to the trigger, tighter groups can be achieved at various distances.
