Since the most compact Glocks in 9mm aren't much bigger why go with a pistol in an inferior ctg?
It's cute & that's about it.
Although I own & shoot .380 ACP, if I lived where CCW was allowed & carried my first choice wouldn't be a pistol in .380 ACP.

NAA.
No ####. Talk about letting S&W keep their shield market share. I was expecting glock to reveal a direct competitor to it.

if they came out with a 9mm they would have nothing to unveil at next year.....Shot Show 2015 Glock 43 in 9mm
Maybe Glock is looking at the demographics and sees all the elderly people as a market for a softer shooting self defense gun.
I'd be sureprised if it doesn't morph into a 9mm at some point just to satisfy the younger people...

It'll be interesting. I think it should satisfy a lot of people who carry in the US that didn't carry a 19/26 because of the thickness of the grip. I'm thinking women mostly as it is much more difficult to carry thicker guns for them.
I do agree though, 9mm would have been the better choice. Seriously. Its really not that much shorter to justify the doing as far as I can see. we'll see what the market says in a few years. Good to see the US factory is working.

Not really -- 9mm and .45 both pass the FBI defensive load criteria of expansion and penetration.
.380 does not from any load I have seen.
