interesting... the 43 has the grip signature of the Gen 2 G19. No finger grips...etc....

There seems to be a lot of plastic gun fever around here lately.

So I managed to sneak in some range time today with it.
At 7 yards.
First I shot two magazines with 115 grain FMJ, utilizing the magazine without the pinkie extension first. Those were the ones that are low and sightly left.
I then shot two more magazines with our duty ammo which is 124 Hydra-shok +P+. Both grains were very manageable with the +P+ being a little snappier. But those grouping became tighter.
It was still more comfortable and manageable. Much more noticeably manageable than a .40 G27.
The trigger is standard. The pull was consistent and felt just like my 19. Unlike the 42 (.380) that was a lot heavier and grittier.
No FTF or FTE. Everything worked as it was supposed to.
Pros
Comfortable in an IWB holster.
Easily concealable.
Easily manageable even with +P+.
It's a Glock
Cons
It's a Glock (for you Glock haters).

My understanding, from reading and such, that all modern handguns can handle it. There is no standard rating. It may put a little more wear and tear, but nothing significant and nothing as far as safety is concerned.
