Well I bought a G43 TALO today ($439) . Ordered OC custom trigger $65, 2 Pierce one round extension $20.00 for both. Talon Grip $17.95 . So less than $540 for a SURE bang every time 7 +1 with great sights and excellent trigger. Still have not seen a P365 ( do they exist?) But from a
fairly large % of no go bang customers ( Sig claims few ever notice the more big business has to lose the more they lie!) The P 365 may be a 0 +1.

Sounds like the Glock is the pistol for you. Enjoy.

Am I the only guy that just buys a Glock and leaves it stock? I mean I replace the dovetail protectors but other than that bone stock.

Enjoy the new boom stick.

you did good, you always can get the 365 later there is no time limit.

No sir, you're not alone. Maybe install night sights but thats it.

Plain stock is fine. Light modified is fine. Crazy full bore modified until it's unrecognizable...well, whatever. It's about what works best for the gun owner. That's the beauty of a Glock.

Nothing wrong with going with something that's tried and true while biding one's time for SIG to get their heavy production schedule in order. Then again waiting for the 'all-clear' on the early QC issues that have surfaced so far with the 365 isn't a bad strategy either. The G43 is a solid choice.

Thanks for all the nice comments. So far I love this little gun. I may under cut the trigger guard just a little; however, I do like the extra length between the front of grip to heel of grip (over what pictures show for the Sig). I also like the extra sight radius. I can always use anything that helps shoot a little straighter. The + 1 extension adds very little to the height less than 1/8 inch. Ya'll have a great weekend , I'm going to put about 500 rds down range with the new baby so I'll be in hog heaven. Should be my EDC by Sunday.

They are out there, have 2....just received my 2nd on Wednesday, born June 8....
S/N of #1 Born January 29..... 2,01x
S/N of #2 Born June 8..........59,29x

So it appears 60,000 or so are in circulation with Backorders of over 250,000.

What’s a fairly large percentage? Mine has been perfect. Haven’t heard many on here who have them have issues either.

Sounds about right, maybe. Our SIG rep said that the company was only shipping around 20,000 365s a month right now. I'd guess that 'other projects' (the Army contract perhaps?) are limiting factors. However at this rate it's going to take a LOT longer than 3 years to reach a million units...the approximate time it took Glock to reach the 1,000,000th G43 made.

I leave all my carry guns stock.

Good strategy that way you can buy more guns and ammo.

Mine has been reliable as well as have the other 3 purchased by friends of mine. I just took mine out again, so it's over 700 rounds now. The others bought theirs before me but all have the X-Ray sights, so they're not the very first run.

For Glocks, I leave them mostly stock but will swap out sights. On the sub-compact and compacts (19/23/32/26/27/33), I'll put in an OEM smooth trigger. I hate the serrated one. On range guns, I'll usually put in an OEM minus (-) connector. On the G43, I'll put on Talon grips. On other guns, I'll often change out grips (1911s, Berettas, Sigs), usually to G10s.

To the OP, congrats on the G43. It's a great gun. I still like mine better than the P365, at least for now. I just shoot it better.

You’ve chosen wisely...

Not really. A Glock is like an Erector set with bullets. I buy the parts as they go on sale instead of a complete gun in a box. A shiny new one is easier, but there is no fun in that.

My guns are all stock except for the CZs which have Cajun Gun Works mods done professionally. The only thing I do to the Glocks is Talon grips.

My Glocks are stock but I am realizing and liking what a flat trigger can do for you. I bought one for my G22 from Kineti-Tech a little while back. It does not do anything about changing the trigger pull but is more comfortable to shoot and somehow feels like the trigger is lighter/has better leverage, it is hard to explain. I am planning to get a couple more for the others I have, especially the 43. The 43 is the Glock many have been waiting for and I was one of them.

Mostly stock Glocks. I change sights and talons on some. The 43 I use TT +1 and +2 baseplates. I leave the internals alone except for maybe polishing the trigger mating surfaces.
