I've shot one and don't care for it.

Trigger is stiffer than a virgin's dong on prom night.

I just picked mine up a couple of weeks ago. I paid $439 on gunbroker and $20 for my FFL transfer.

I put trijicon hd sights on, swapped the standard glock magazine bases for taran tactical +2 bases and wrapped it with talon grip wraps. With the new bases I can carry 8+1 so I like that much better than 6 and the extra real estate for my little finger makes it feel great to shoot and not akward.

It is the easiest gun to cc that I have used, outside of the pocket .380s. I have a glock 27 and it is much more comfortable to conceal in my opinion. Now the accuracy is not as phenomenal as other 9mm I have shot, the Walther CCP for example, but is by no means bad.

I've shot probably about 3k through it now with no issues at all. I really like it for conceal carry, it's not my favorite truck gun or range gun at all, but for conceal carry it is very hard to beat. I carry in a Kydex holster appendix or 5 o'clock. Normally I don't like appendix but it's small enough that it doesn't bother me at all and absolutely disappears under a t shirt.

Buy it, you won't lose money on it.

Which academy? Employee at covington counter verbally quoted the guy next to me $399 for G43 today. Said they were out however. Isnt there a covington academy OB'er here that can fact check this however?

Nice gun a little snappy compared to the FN9S compact, which is a little bigger

I'm obviously a glock homer but enjoy my 43. I have the taren plus 1 extender on one of my mags and find it to be a fairly easy shooter for its size
