Compared to the Streamlight, the TGL was a tighter fit to the gun. However, the buttons are smaller on the TGL, and were a little harder for me to manipulate. During shooting, it held zero and caused me no concern. You can check out my full review of the LaserLyte laser here. The company stated that the TGL will also fit the newer G43, and I confirmed it during this testing. Last year, I reviewed the LaserLyte TGL for the Glock 42. Here’s what I found on how well they worked. Viridian Reactor 5 (available with either red or green lasers)įor this review, I was able to get a TLR-6, and I already had a TGL on hand.Streamlight TLR-6 (light and red laser).At the time of this writing, there are already multiple light and laser attachments on the scene. Lights and LasersĪs with the holster makers, accessory manufacturers have jumped into the G43 market with both feet. I’ve put together a list of different carry rigs that are currently on the market for the pistol. While any of these holster options will work well, you may want to check out my round up of G43 holsters here. These included the Blackhawk A.R.C., the YetiTac FireSide and QuickClaw holsters and several options from Vedder Holsters. When testing the G43, I had a number of holsters on hand that I tried out. That has worked out great for consumers, as just a few months after the new Glock was announced, shooters had a wide range of carry options available.

With all of the anticipation for this pistol, it was clear to a lot of holster makers that they should hit the ground running with carry rigs for the G43. That way you have some to practice with and you have a reliable reload for your favorite carry. If this is you carry a Glock regularly, I recommend more than just a few. I always recommend that you pick up a few extra, regardless of which Glock generation you have. It’s not my preferred carry location for a primary weapon, but for a uniformed cop it can be a real-life saver. I didn’t have a fancy rig, but I tried it out with an old Uncle Mike’s holster I have. Since the pistol works so well for IWB carry, I wasn’t worried about the lack of pocket carry.Īnkle carry is perfectly fine with this pistol.

I tried a range of pocket holsters and simply could not find one that worked for me. It seemed to make all the wrong bulges in cargo pant pockets. For someone with larger hands, you may have some of your pinky falling off the bottom of the gun.įor me, the gun did not work well for pocket carry. With the included finger extension base plate on the magazine, the firearm fits my medium-sized hands with no room to spare. The newer gun is a lot thinner than the G26, though its length and height are similar. Some have described the G43 as a single stack version of the Glock 26. Before I get too far down the road of my experiences, let me describe this great gun to you. I’m very glad I gave the G43 another test drive. I had a magazine assignment come up that would put guns in the hands of new shooters, and Glock was happy to provide some pistols for the event. One of those pistols was the Glock 43 detailed in this review. However, I wanted to get the G43 back on the range and find out if I really liked it or not.
