New Glock 43.

Looks pretty nice. The MSRP is kind of high, but I'm sure the actual price you'll be able to get them for will be lower. Hopefully around $500-525.

I thought so, too. I've seen 19s for less.

What would be the point of being bigger? They already have bigger.

Approximately $50 less than a standard size Glock.

Wonder what Blue Label pricing will be...

Approximately $350.

Bigger as in, inbetween a Glock 26 and Glock 19, but single stack thin. I'm sure they will have magazine extensions that will make up for it.

 

[JBP55]

Think thin G26.

The blue labels will be available in a couple of weeks. I already have mine on order!

Who did you order with? I called all the local Blue Label dealers and the Glock LE rep and wasn't able to get on any list or place any order. Everyone is telling me it isn't official yet and I have to wait.

Technically on "Backorder" with the distributor. As soon as they are distributed, it should come in... based on the number that is shipped and which orders they fill first. I will keep you posted.

So big!!

Guess I was hoping for G42 size... or perhaps just as small as my CM9.

My Ruger LCP really ruined me.

I guess I'm the only person who is not at all interested in this. Looks nice, nice concept, but like the 45 GAP, it's a solution for a problem that doesn't exist to me.

What distributor? Lipsey's? RSR? SSI? GT? Davidsons? Keisler? Come on man, throw me a bone.

Oh wow. 10 rounds? Is that the mag that seats flush, or an extended mag? Cause if it's flush, then that is straight up money

Standard flush fit magazine is 6 rounds.

I think I'm gonna pass, for now. I'll wait till aftermarket parts are available and I can add at least a +2 extension.

It would be funny if it turned out to be something totally different from a single stack 9mm.

So we're all getting excited about a gun that is roughly 5/32" skinnier and holds 4 less rounds?

That doesn't seem right. If it weren't for the long trigger, I should have kept my PF9.

IMO, instead of buying a smaller gun, I think I'll just get better at hiding a bigger gun.

Just posting numbers, you can get moist over it or not.

I understand that, and I'm appreciative that you are posting the numbers. I was teeter tottering over it and seeing the width dimensions helped me to decide against it.
