Tupperware is way out of my wheelhouse but I've decided I'd like to pick up a Glock 43. Not knowing much about the "Glock world", can anyone point me to reputable retailers/distributors who offer deals on, or sell a large volume of, Glocks aside from the obvious places like GunBroker? If I were interested in a particular older S&W revolver, I'd know exactly where to begin looking but I'm kind of lost trying to find a good deal on a new Glock. Thanks for any help.

Bud's. There's one listed on armslist NIB for $400. Might be worth your time check locally.

I noticed, with some of your icons, you might qualify for the Glock Blue Label program.
You might take a look at the qualifications for it and if you do qualify check your area for a Blue Line dealer.
That should get you the best price on a NIB Glock from that distributor.

KY Gun Co - sent me a quote of $456.99 after entering my email address.
I found the same price there. That's shipped, too (qualifies for free shipping to an FFL). That's the best deal I've found so far from a regular supplier. Mark at Summit is usually hard to beat but he's at $479 + shipping.
Edit: Looks like Bud's is even cheaper, $449 and ships free.

They will all be around $450 unless it has the fiber optic sights. Those are more.
I'd recommend you go hold one at least. I know for me there are very few guns in that size that fit my hand. I'm not talking about a perfect fit because obviously these are small guns but for me 99% of them have grips that are just way to small and slim for my hands

About six months ago, went to the range and shot both the G43 and the S&W M&P Shield 9MM. I liked both, but for me, the Shield was more accurate and felt better. My favorite though was the M&P 9C - but too big for CC.

GT Distributors | Tactical Gear and Police Equipment GT distributors is a terrific company to buy from. $449 on their site but they do charge shipping.

It’s my understanding if you join the Glock GSSF for two years I believe you will immediately get a certificate to purchase one blue label Glock a year. The current blue label price for a 43 is $358 and I believe to join GSSF is $60 for two years. I’m have not checked this myself so not 100% sure, but I have been told this by a Glock blue label dealer. May be another option.

I would not steer you away from a Glock 43 as I am a big Glock fan, but . . . when the G43 first came out I could not find anything but waiting lists. While I was waiting around for the call from one of the waiting list I was fortunate enough to have another experienced Glock fan steer me to the Ruger LC9s Pro. Gotta tell you, after doing my research when I got the call that my G43 was in I told them to pass it on to the next guy and I went with the Ruger.
After shooting them side by side at the PD range I think they are about as equal as two guns can be. Well, except that the Ruger carries one more round and its about $50.00 less in price.

check your local shops there is one at my local dealer with night sites he asking in the 450 range.
be carefull they (Glock) are addictive, I use to be a walnut and blue steel revolver guy, but have joined the Tupperware crowd and own several of them now
when my wife wanted to update her ccw from the walther PP last Christmas we looked at all the light weight small frame guns and decided on the clock 42, since at that time the 43 was a bit reclusive on the shelves
while they will never reach the position of a colt/S&w revolver they are very reliable and accurate

Well, in my case a compact single stack 9mm semi-auto will be filling a very particular concealed carry niche, but the odds of me becoming a plastic gun guy are somewhere between nil and zero. Glock was picked because I figure if I'm going to own only one strictly utilitarian plastic gun, I may as well go with what's considered the standard by which all others are measured, just as when so many of us think quality revolver, S&W instantly comes to mind.
I did look at the Shield and Ruger but I like the simple function and all-business appearance of the Glock. I understand aftermarket mags/mag parts address the capacity complaint regarding the G43, so that's not a deal-breaker.

I too find the G43 too small for my hands. I carry a G27, converted to 357 Sig. I started with the G26 (still have it).
Wife prefers the G43 (in fact, she has two: EDC and her nightstand). I think we paid low $400s for the first one. Her second is fitted with Crimson Trace laser==that was high $600s, I think. She loves the G43 and is currently shooting about 4" groups at 7-10 yards.
