I had a friend who was going to let me borrow one so I could compare it side-by-side with the Shield. I still plan on doing the review but he said he gave the gun to his dad for carry so he may not be able to lend it to me.

But in my opinion, the 43 is a pretty solid gun. I would personally take a shield over it since I'm used to M&Ps but it's still pretty easy to shoot and seems to operate just fine. I'm hoping to get a full review on it soon and if someone here lends me one that would be just peachy.

Same here. My two favorites are the Shield and the new Walther CCP. I can shoot the nuts off a mosquito with that CCP, but it is slightly larger than the Shield.

I wasn't impressed with the G43. Nothing horribly wrong, I just couldn't get used to the size of the grip. With the flush mount mag, it was almost too short to get two fingers on the grip. The mag extension just made it feel more akward.

I can see why you'd go shield if that's what your trained up with. I'll hopefully have a 43 soon... I talked to a few friends who have them, and they've had no issues out of them so far through 500+ rounds.
