For those talking about the g43 price, if you are a member of gssf or sign up you can purchase the Glock 43 @ blue label pricing for $380 with the yearly discount
New members must sign up for 2 years for a coupon but if your like me with glocks its pays off in short order.
Also anyone talking about the lack of grip I completely agree and highly suggest trying out talon grips..they make a world of difference. Suggest rubber for CCW as the sandpaper grips are uncomfortable for carry

I put an apex sear in the first day I owned it. The trigger was not the issue. I just found the grip too slim and slick for my medium sized hands. Beyond that, I just didn't like the firing behavior ( Likely also due to the poor and non adjustable grip.). I just couldn't keep the thing on target. Maybe if I had put talons on it.... but personally I found the M&P9c to a WAY better carry choice for me.
Unfortunately, I sold the 9c and my G26 off in a weak moment. I just picked up the PPS (not M2) . For me, it's the best behaving small 9mm I've fired. Even better than my beloved 9c in some ways.
BTW, this isn't an anti S&W rant. I own dozens of them including 4 M&P's. I'm just saying that the PPS (original or M2) are worth a look for anyone in the market for a Shield.

Just a suggestion, but if your looking for pocket carry why not take a look at a nice j frame? Smaller than both and has a heavy trigger better for pocket carry, also lighter than shield or g43. Hammerless j frame can also be fired from a jacket pocket never breaking concealability making your attacker non the wiser.

I appendix carry my G43 in a tulster holster. I love it. It is very easily concealed. The sights are terrible, and I plan to make that upgrade shortly. But the trigger is awesome, and I enjoy shooting with it.

WarthogGear. Love them . Pm me for a coupon code worth 10.00 off.
i'm a taller guy and i pocket carry my 43 all the time. i tend to have pants with deeper pockets though.
i'm going to guess that what ever these posters have shot first they probably will choose that over the other. I own a 43 and have shot a shield and like my 43 better.

The Walther trigger is atrocious, even worse than a stock Shield trigger in Mass compliant configuration.....

I don't think so at all. I recorded both the Shield and M2 at the same time and shot full mags of the PPS and shield after and after to get a feel for both. My old Mass trig in my shield was 10.1 Lbs , My Shield for the Last 3 years is a free state and at 5.4-5.7lb, the PPS was 5.9-6.3. And after shooting both right after a full mag in each for 30 min I found both very close, def a trigger I can deal with in a carry. not any diff than a Glock even, a tad heavier but by a LB
pics are just because who doesn't like pics

G43- with after market sights. Preferred it over the Shield. No issues, no regrets.

You might be able to find a Shield for less than $375. I paid $299. You probably wont find it that cheap though.

Then if you buy it from FourSeasons they throw in an installed APEX kit for $100
Bought like that with a holster & a box of carry ammo.... Your still likely still spending LESS than if you bought a G43!
