If that is true, I'm definitely getting one. Been holding off purchase a Sig 938 for a while, much prefer a striker fire CCW.

 

[jpdopes]

It sure does look like a slightly slimmed down version of the G26. I was hoping for a frame size similar to the 42 or Kahr PM9. Damn.

6 rounder! wonderful. just wonderful.

 

[IvIax]

****ing love it. Glock has me in their pocket for this one.

Well on the bright side it's lighter than the S&W Shield. One of my issues with the Shield is it's heavier than a G19.

 

[Chet0729]

I hope it is better than the 42.

 

[Maxspeed]

MSRP on the M&P Shield is $449. 7/8 rounds

Plus 1

 

[cfbackrow]

that 10 rd mag I'm on the wait list for is going to hang WAY down

 

[drgrant]

So it appears real info has been leaked: [video]https://youtu.be/uQxthaOJ8Dw[/video]

I'm pissed. 6+1? $580 MSRP? Come on Glock!

I was sure I'd be selling my Ruger LC9s and getting this the moment it came out. Between these details and the reliability issues the early G42s had, it looks like I'll pass. I may be alone on this but I'm thoroughly disappointed.

Merged this thread.

Whats to be pissed about? MSRP is crap, that means it'll be a lot less. 6+1 is about typical, whats an LC9s? like 7+1? lol.

The whaambulance is right on cue.

Not to mention this video is just a reguritation of the stuff weve seen already.

I love my 42 so far. I just got it from my dealer not too long ago, so I've only shot about 100 rounds through it but hasn't missed a beat yet. Even a few mags of Leigh defense XP rounds threw it. I carry it everywhere.

I've long wanted a single stack glock 9mm but now that I have my 42, I'm in no rush. Especially given the specs and possible price of the 43.

I'm going to buy one, bubba stipple it, put speedsights or a ghost ring on it, and a crimson trace laser grip. Just for the hilarity of it all.

Is this true? If so, that's actually kinda retarded. I didn't think it was THAT heavy...

ETA: A G19 is like 23 oz, a Shield is like 18.... and that is kinda retarded, but the shield is a bigger pistol than this presumptive G43 is, so that sort of makes sense.

Longer, taller, wider, heavier, and later to the market than a PM9. But it's a Glock so it'll sell anyway.

EDIT: At least it's cheaper.

I should buy one and cerakote the slide purple.

I don't really think the gun was ever going to compete with the PM9. Frankly nothing does, and probably nothing will, for the foreseeable future.

Rumor is that the new Glock was made to rival the Taurus Curve.

 

[M1911]

I'm pretty happy with my G26. Can't really see the need for a single stack unless you have really small hands. The 26 conceals very easily and shoots beautifully.

Single stack is thinner and thus easier to conceal. The tradeoff, of course, is reduced capacity.

 

[dixidawg]

MSRP on the M&P Shield is $449. 7/8 rounds

Not including the price of a trigger job.

...sources tell me the G44 will be a delayed blowback penis pump (the good news is it comes with 4 interchangeable backstraps)

I've heard this as well.

you should def ghostring it.

Should get it cerokoted to look all worn and shitty, that is the thing to do these days.

Why train hard when you can go hard in the paint. lol When your gun looks like it operated... but your sights be squeaky clean.

As if anyone would operate a G30 hard enough to look like this.

Will it be Swedish? And endorsed by an International Man of Mystery?

Since the leak, Glock has greenlit the release of specs, reviews, etc
