I do have one. I've run very few rounds through it so far -- maybe 200.

It's been fine after I changed the mag release/catch (factory sent me a new one to replace the one that was occasionally blocking insertion of the mag), changed out the trigger connector (Ghost is the only make I could find), and added night sights (Ameriglo - mainly to get narrower front sight and wider notch in rear sight).

It's too early to be forming an opinion, after only 200 rounds.

BUT, as of right now, I'm a lot more comfortable with my 9mm Shield, and I shoot the Shield better (faster). The Shield has half an APEX kit in it, so the trigger pull is comparable to the G43 with the Ghost connector.

The "diameter" of the grip on the G43 is just too small for me. I pretty much end up shooting it one handed - and my trigger finger is stuck way up into the trigger guard, so I'm not able to use the pad of my index finger. This means "relearning" the feel of the reset position, and causes me to pull some shots (too much trigger finger) if I don't slow down.

Thanks for the info

The only thing I'm planning on changing is the sites. I'm a big fan of the ameriglo proglo. I have pretty small hands so hopefully the grip issue won't be a problem for me.
