What are your criteria? This is an extremely broad statement.

But to answer your question, besides the category of being cheaply made and having a higher percentage of failure, the Glock beats it handily at pretty much everything.

I have never owned a glock because I didn't like how it felt in my hand! But my buddy bought the G43 and I loved how it felt. Thanks for the info!

I'll give a 5th approval to the G43, it's a great CCW.

Glock and Taurus aren't the only two manufacturers in existence you know. There are tons of other quality options out there.

You should really be comparing G43 with an M&P Shield so you have 2 good options

For a gun I used exclusively for carry, I would pick between this and Shield. Snappiest gun I have ever shot was a Taurus carry .40. That gun basically jumped out my hand. Was less pleasant than a Desert Eagle .50AE.

Look at my handle.

40 cal Taurus everyday.

I thought about the two things the OB hated the most (40 cals and Taurus) and combined them in one gun..........and fell in love.

Try the 500 magnum S&W .50 revolver. Talk about jump and the concussion is out of this world.

I have shot the .460 extensively and that is a fun gun. I want to try the 500 with the new underwood 700gr loads and see how bad it hurts
