I carry a 43 sometimes, and when I do, it's usually with an extended magazine. I imagine this will be about the same length. I think it's cool, but not cool enough to replace my 43.

As a resident of a non-ban state, if I want a 10-round gun that's smaller than a Glock 19, that's what the Glock 26 is for. Plus it allows you to carry a larger double-stack spare magazine from a Glock 19 or 17, which a G43X won't.
I'm anxious to see pics and range reports.
I'm willing to give it a chance before I become a hater.
Interesting! I have a Glock 43 and love it for conceal carry. I wonder what a side by side size comparison would look like.
As someone that is a Glock fan, but hates the Glock 43, I will give it a chance as well.
I have a scar on my hand from my old G43 rubbing my thumb knuckle while I was trying to break it in with several hundred rounds in one trip this year. I think the added length may help me in that regard.
That said, the P365 I rented is my favorite "single stack-ish" 9mm I have ever shot, with a much smaller sample size.
To add as well, the Recoil article that was being shown off had front serrations also. Not sure if it was photoshopped or legit.

So, it's a "Glocked" Shield? I have the G43, and sometimes wish I'd gotten the Shield.
Get the Shield then
Been carrying the Shield since it came out.
The Geelock is a little late. Glock fans have been asking for a mid size single stack 9mm for a long time. So what did they do? they spit out the 42, then the 43. While Springfield were making the little XD and Smith were selling the Shield like hot cakes. Finally after seeing the Sig 365 becoming a success, Gaston caved in. Where were you 10 years ago Gaston? too busy with your new young woman?
I'm sure it will sell if the rumor is true and good luck to them. Glad their fans finally got what they've been demanding. Geelock lost me a long time ago. No, it wasn't Ernest Langdon that turned me.
I'm going back ... way back ... back before all of these there was the 3913. Yeah, it's heavier and it's only 8+1, but yes it's heavier and that means less recoil, faster follow up shot. A deliberate first shot DA is good and short/light SA after.
Riots are like sports, it's better to watch it on TV at home.
I was skeptical of the G19X and now I love it so I'll give this one a chance too.
I shot Mistwolf's Sig 365 and I don't love it as much as he does.
