Well you asked you shall recieve... haha good one Shane but for the rest of the country it's a big deal. As for me I got the 43-1 model already.
-
$580 msrp though. You can get a shield that holds an extra round for like $350-$400 brand new.

Roger that. A bit disappointed at the price point.

the 42 when I got it I believe it was right about $400. Before the gouging began. A few mm is expensive

Yes, G42 was $449 at OGC when they got the first batch. Next month, SEC had it for less. Problem is, they only get a few initially, so if you don't pay the asking price right then, it'll be a while before more come in.
I plan to buy one if the price is fair. My G42 is feeling like an outcast, so another pocket Glock will help balance the collection some.

If you feel up to it you could compare the two and post your thoughts.

am i the only one yawning because Walther beat them to this market with the PPS years ago? with a rail, no less.

A 6.3" subcompact pistol with a rail is like a Toyota Corolla with a tow hitch!

still the same concept and functionally, they are barely different.

My feathers after I heard this news.

have PPS here and this might be blasphemy *but* I handled one at the show that the guy stipled and really liked it. weird as I'm not a glock fan in general but this little one seemed pretty dang comfortable. I will have to give one more time before any decision as have a substantial investment in the PPS as is (holsters, mags). but I did like it. argh haha

I got to test fire the 43 yesterday. It was surprisingly easy to shoot.
Not as much recoil as I expected. The little grip fit me well, but I have small hands.
My initial impression on accuracy is good.
I only fired 5 rounds at 15 yards with cheap 115 ball, but they clustered about 1 inch.

That's awesome Oldfart. I'm waiting for my 43, it's stuck in registration purgatory - gotta wait the mandatory 2 weeks before I can really call her mine. I really like the shape and thickness of the grip as well because like you I got small hands so double stack grips tend to not to fit my hand so well.

they do have micro sized lasers and flashlights out :shaka:. you would of course need a custom kydex or leather iwb holster but if you want it bad enough you can fork the money over for it.
the micro rail mount lasers are especially small.

Outstanding
If you can handle full size full power pistols, then you should be fine.

Another thought, re small hands...
Just because you have small hands like me doesn't mean you should seek out smaller grip guns.
When I was 8 yrs old my dad dragged me out to the tennis court. He was an instructor for the parks dept.
Though he gave me a racket with a smaller grip, he advocated using a larger grip size.
The theory is that on off center hits, the torque effect on your hand is less with the larger grip.
Think about it. It's simple physics.
The same principle can be applied to pistols.
