You're correct, they are basically the same with the 43c having an internal hammer. I have a 317 and really like it, just wish it had a longer hammer spur. For concealed carry the 43c is definately more snag free plus I really like the Trijicon front sight blade. If you can get the 317 for a good price I wouldn't hesitate in recommending it. They are both good little J frames.
