Anybody go from G19 to G43 or similar size guns? Regret it? Glad you did?

Buddy did it and is happy.

I got to admit my 43 is so much more comfortable in an IWB holster than a Glock 19 is and IWB is my preferred method of carry in the Summer.

Years ago I carried a G23 then a JFrame. I tried a Seecamp .32, Beretta Tomcat .32, and Kahar’s in 9mm & .40. None of those worked for me. I stuck with a JFrame of sorts for over 15 years.

Then I had a G27 for about 5 years. It was ok but I needed an extended mag to hit anything beyond 10 yards and at that point it was the same grip length as my G23. It was too wide for pocket carry.

When I found the 9mm Shield I freaking fell in love! I’m using the Magguts +2 base for two 8 round magazines in a Purdy pocket mag pouch. I had to take the spacers off. They irritate me anyway as they never stay in place. I have the +1 Magguts in a 7 rounder in the gun. 29 rounds is damn respectable. I still have a pair of Desantis single pocket mag pouches.

I wanted to love the G43 but it’s way too small for my hand. The Shield is a perfect balance for me.

Smaller, Lighter, Comfortable are always welcome in my book. For now my Shield and LCP rule he day...one day maybe he 365 can replace my Shield, but I don't see the LCP going away.
