I would love to get a Glock 43 (a single-stack 9mm along the same lines as the current G42 in .380)! However, I'm not about to drop my XDs9 for a (possible)(maybe)(future) Glock 43.
If the G43 uses about the same size frame--it has to be at least a little bit larger for the longer 9mm case--it would probably only have 6 rounds. When I'm already limiting myself with a smaller gun, I really want at least 7 rounds. The Shield9, the XDs9, and the CW9/P9 all have 7 rounds with extended mags available or even included. 6 round mags in a Glock 43 would be disappointing.
Any thoughts around here about any SHOT Show 2015 rumors? It seems to me that last year, by Nov or Dec 2013, we had confirmed news of 2 new SKU's for the new G41 and G42. Exact descriptions of those pitols weren't released until the week of SHOT 2014, but we all knew that 2 new pistols were getting launched. No news this year about a G43 suggests there isn"t goin to be one.
