GLOCK G43 pistols on the way!

Is it the new Gen5 or the Gen4?

In a country like Canada where nobody carries their guns around in a holster, what is the point of these compact guns (G26 or G43) over a normal size Glock 17 ?

I can see the appeal of the G19 or G19x, but anything smaller than that is just useless here in Canada, where all we use our handguns for is target shooting. A compact handgun is actually harder to use for target shooting...

It also looks silly with that barrel sticking out.

My thoughts exactly! Might as well get a G19Cdn edition.

For those who remember the Glock Slim line series aka the G36 .45Acp which was my all time fav pistol.

Wish they made it in 9mm. the glock 43 is the closest you'll get to the above.

I feel the extra inch of barrel sticking out defeats it's compact purpose

To be quite honest, I wouldn't be caught dead with one at the range. If I couldn't have the real deal, I'd rather have none at all. But each to his own.

It isn't about your particular view - it is what people want. People want these.

I had one. Great pistol. Very accurate. Shooting a subcompact was a whole new game of it's own. Whoever buys one will likely have fun with it.

Got a G26 and love it. Not prohibited version. And a "friend" has taken it on many a hikes with hardened 147gr buffalo bore . Good choice for the outdoorsman. G43 would probably be a good fit for this too.

Extra mags available?

We all could be salivating & anticipating delivery of our G19's & G43's if Stephen Harper's Conservatives-in-name-only had used their SIX (6) years in MAJORITY government to repeal the detested unconstitutional Liberal Bill C68.

C$1354.87 for G43 with a 106mm barrel? So funny, and that not even shipped!

Any beter resolution pics of the pistol. Wouldn't mind getting a better look at the fluted barrel. Thanks.

In a country like Canada where the speed limit is 110 Km/h why would anyone want a super car or a vehicle with more than 100 horsepower?? See how ridiculous this sounds?

This is the newest version, Gen 5.
