The newer Glocks are having teething pains. Since the Gen-4 came out, quality control has gone down. RSA, extractor, ejector, MIM made parts. Do some Google searches about the 42 and 43 and you'll find comments about some problems.

I'm not a Glock guy by any means and the 43 will be my next pistol. I like it better than my shield. The Gen 4s have much better grip angles. I've owned 3 other blocks and sold them all.

The M&P shield is a better gun for $100 less. Just took the glock fanboys awhile to figure that out.

Not in my opinion. I've owned the Shield too, and while it is a fine, reliable little pistol, the Glock 43 is a better shooter to me and I have had zero issues with mine. I have put several hundred rounds through my 43 now, a variety of FMJ, cheap remanufactured stuff, the Perfecta ammo from Wally, various HP rounds and again, zero issues. The Shield did not feel right in the hand, the 43 does...to me.
