I have had both, sold the Shield and kept the G43. The G43 is a MUCH better shooter and I like the way it feels in my hand better. My G43 trigger with the Ghost Edge connector feels just like my Gen 4 G19 trigger. The Shield has a funky grip to me. But hey, some people (lots of female shooters like it from what I've heard) prefer the Shield and yeah, it's a good gun, just not as good as the G43 (For me). (And I'm an expert).
