The fit in the hand with subcompact pistols is often a concern, but this was not an issue with the Glock 43. Other than grip length and overall width the Glock 43 is similar in size to the Glock 26 however, it’s easier to shoot and handle with its longer, thinner grip. The size of the pistol is very similar to some of the other compact pistols in Glock’s lineup – with an emphasis on the thinness thanks to the single stack magazine. We dove deep into my personal Glock 43 in our in-depth review. It’s a wonderful gun – and at about 1” wide can work well in any carry position. The Glock 43 consistently performs well, especially when chambered for 9mm rounds. The Glock 43 is a variant on the full-size Glock 17 platform (one of its “Slimline” variants) as the Glock 19 is generally too big for CCW.

They’re great pistols – and the Glock 19 has been a law enforcement staple since its introduction in 1983. You’ll rarely see a list of 9mm pistols without a Glock, and for good reason. This will ensure you can comfortably and confidently carry your weapon every day. The new XMacro is the first P365 to include palmswell inserts, expanding the available hand sizes that can find a home on the platform. I attribute the Sig P365’ impressive accuracy and ease of use to its good grip and excellent trigger.Īny shooter should be able to become proficient with this pistol in a short amount of time, and the grip is large enough for a variety of hand sizes. If you’re a trigger connoisseur, then you should love this pistol. That is subjective, but it’s still worth noting. Some of our testers commented that it might be the best trigger in all of the subcompact polymer frame, striker-fired pistols out there. The trigger pull is no heavier than the Glock 26’s but it offers a better trigger feel and a short and snappy pull overall. One of the biggest pluses of the Sig P365 Subcompact is its short and smooth trigger pull. The various pistol components are interchangeable, and that makes this a highly customizable pistol.īeyond the accessory rail, you can build a small-frame pistol for concealed carry one day, and then on another day, you can have the full-frame gun you want to shoot. You can configure this pistol to any size: subcompact, compact, and full-frame by swapping the grip module on the P365 firing control unit. Canik takes innovation seriously and has already improved upon the original TP9 multiple times since its launch.One thing that sets the Sig P365 subcompact apart from the competition is that the pistol is highly customizable thanks to a modular design. One of Canik’s strengths is the way they package a lot of value into their products. Plus, with the likes of NoSkillSNils taking home championship after championship, the Canik name has come a long, long way. In recent years, the Canik pistol line has expanded to include competition models, subcompact, and red dot mounted pistols – all thanks to Canik’s original product’s ability to perform so well that it changed public perception of what to expect from a reasonably-priced striker-fired pistol.

Through these collaborations, Canik worked with Turkish law enforcement to craft a high-quality polymer pistol designed to withstand the rigors of service lifeįast forward to 2012 and Canik partnered with Century Arms to introduce Canik TP pistols to the U.S. The Canik pistol was developed leveraging the expertise gained from these partnerships. Think of Canik as the Turkish Armalite they started in the aerospace defense industry and work with large corporations such as Lockheed Martin, Airbus, and Boeing on precision aerospace engineering projects. If you’re familiar with Armalite’s beginnings in the aerospace industry, Canik’s story will sound remarkably similar.
