Down South 9 Posted January 18, 2018 Picked up a G43 and I really like it. Last few years been carrying a S&W 9mm Shield , great gun. Now I just need to run some ammo through the 43 and see how it performs . I've been using gold dot in my shield with no problems. Heading to range this weekend .

rtquig 45 Posted January 18, 2018 I have the G42, wish at the time I would have taken the 43. It took me about 200 rounds to loosen up the spring and not have FTE and stove piping. I also had to put an extension on the mag so my pinkie could wrap around the grip and not dangle in the air. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I got an early G42 which apparently had issues (like yours). I brought it to a GSSF match and the Glock Armorer replaced a bunch of parts for free. The gun now runs flawlessly.

rtquig 45 Posted January 18, 2018 I bought mine in May of 2016. The numbers on certain parts indicated it came updated. Glock sent me newer magazines, and I polished the feed ramp. It was also suggested to leave the slide open for a few days. Haven't had one problem since. Rich Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SW9racer 262 Posted April 7, 2018 Do you carry the 43 straight or canted? Have you tried the mag guts spring? I have been using the pierce +1 with the bottom front rounded by my dremel. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
