I'm going to start of by saying I'm not a fan of little guns. Not because they are small and wimpy looking but because they are too small for my hands. My daily carry is a double stack. It's comfortable all year long and I have no problem concealing it. However, I don't carry on occasions when clothes are so specific that it makes it impossible to CC. Usually the occasion calls for formal clothes. I wanted to change this. I want to be able to carry even if the night involves formal dress attire and dancing (gotta be comfortable)...you know...weddings, anniversaries, graduations, ...
For this reason I bought a 642 J frame. It's a nice gun but revolvers generally don't work well for me. Grips are too small, protrude to far, lack of sights. ...just doesn't work well for me.
Similar problem with semi auto pocket guns. Lack of grips. Itty bitty stubs does not a grip make!
. Or they are just too thin.....like the Kahr.
I was almost going to get a shield, which was bigger than I wanted, until I tried the G43. The 43 is a G22 cut in half long ways. It'd thin, light and a hair smaller than the Shield at the expense of a few rounds. The reason I bought the 43 was because of how well it fit my hand compared to other pocket guns. The hump on the back of the grip does a great job at adding more space "real estate" for my hand
Gun comes with 2 mags. Both are 6 rounds but one has a pinky extention and one is flush.
The ammo used was 100 rounds of 9mm fmj. 50 rounds of 124gr Geco and 50 rounds of 115gr PPU. The gun was tlnot touched in any way prior to the range. No disassembly, no cleaning, nothing.
First set at roughly 7 yards using 124gr Geco
6 shots + 6 shots. As you can see the first 6 were to the left. I had this issue the whole time unless I really concentrated. The next 6 were better
Another mag's worth
Moving on to 12 yards
And finally 20 yards or so. Here I tried for head shots. Unsuccessfully! It worth to note that stock Glock sights absolutely suck and these will be changed out ASAP. They just cover so much of the target you're almost guessing. Having said that this gun isn't ment to take 20+ yard head shots.
----------
Now onto the 115 PPU. I was getting used to the trigger and it seems to like 115 over the 124 so I may have to find 115 Gold Dots....or better sights
Same as before. Starting at 7 yards and moving back to 20 with every two mags
7 yards
12 yards
20 yards
And one more attempt at a head shot at 20 yards with a little better results
I did shoot some GD out of it but forgot to take a pic
Great little gun with a lot of potential. Now to find a holster that will complement it's size
