Here is a comparison for those interested.

Slide to slide G43x is a little smaller

Grip to Grip the G43x is a little smaller (this is with the Shield Arms 15 round mag)

Weight, the G43x is a tad lighter

Trigger = Kahr CT9 wins being super smooth.
Capacity = G43x with the Sheild arms 15 round mag +1 wins by a long shot. 300 flawless rounds through the S15 mags so far.
Factory sights = Kahr wins.

G43x down side is that the plastic mag catch has to be replaced because the steel mags chew it up. The available metal mag releases now are aluminum (which I put in.) After 20 mags the aluminum catch is showing a bit of roughness from the steel mags. That may become a consumable part until someone makes a steel version.

Got to put some more rounds through it to determine longevity at 15 + 1 rounds but so far I like it. Being 15 rounds in such a small package it looks like I’ll be keeping the Glock.

Nice comparison. It’s hard to believe the Glock has nearly twice the capacity.

Now that’s funny. I almost spit out my mouthful of cereal when I read that.

You can think about it like this. Their legs are the same length but ones legs are long, slinky, and appealing and the other one has thunder thighs.
