Have you shot one or just repeating what you've read?

Didn't need to shoot it to figure out two out of the three. But yes, shot one, same crap trigger..... and owner of said gun ended up selling it two weeks later.

My wife carries the 42 and we have loved it. Don't own a 43 yet but I'll get one when I can order for LE price. Some of these sales you see could be that. Guys that ordered from LE just to turn gun for a profit while it's a hot piece. Don't know that's case for sure though.

I noticed the same thing, I guess it's just not anything special considering all the other great single stack nines out on the market. Especially not for the price.

Glock 26 doesn't seem that much bigger than the 43, but I have bad eyes.

What would you suggest other than the 43 or the Shield? I've been looking at the Kahr line, but it's been years since I've shot one.

I carry a shield anytime I can't conceal my full size. It is awesome. I've shot the g43, LC9, xd-s. No experience with the kahr. I honestly wouldn't recommend anything other than the shield unless you just have to have the glock. The shield is a better gun out of the box for a lower price. I paid 355 out the door for mine. It shoots like a larger gun also.

I carry a SIG P220 (and occasionally a G4 Glock 19) and have been looking for a smaller gun for possible pocket carry. I don't want a Glock or a SA weapon for that purpose. I looked at S&W J-frames and the SIG P290RS. I plan to take a look at Kahr's next.

I don't know how people pocket carry. I can't fit a CM9 in my pockets without risking the "...or are you just happy to see me?" joke.

But, I picked up a CM9 for under $300 with extra mags, and have enjoyed it. Far easier to shoot than the KelTec PF9 it replaced, much smoother (in feel and function) and a WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY better trigger.
