[QUOTE="OK Corgi Rancher, post: 3830353, member: 45773"] I've had a 43X I've carried for about 2 or 3 years now. I like it a lot. I'm not a big guy and I don't find it difficult to hide at all. I carry it in a Comp-Tac IWB or a Comp-Tac kydex belt holster depending on what I'm wearing. It's very flat so it conceals quite easily. I have some Gen 2 Shield mags but don't carry them. I may in the future. A little over a year ago I bought a Ruger Max 9. Pretty potent little gun. It's smaller than the 43X and standard mags hold more than the Glock OEM mags. But, they hold less than the Shield mags. I don't shoot the Ruger nearly as well as I do the 43X and I don't know why. To be honest, the Ruger doesn't want to seem to shoot as well as the Glock. Using the same ammo I can always shoot the 43X to point of aim and keep it there. The Ruger just wants to spread the shots out...not to a great degree, but it's noticeable. Having said that, I tend to present the 43X slightly muzzle high from the draw without constant practice. I tend to present the Ruger to the left. I'm guessing that's a function of how my hand grips each gun and the grip shapes and angles are considerably different. Aside from a massive amount of takeup on the first shot from the Ruger the triggers are probably equal with the edge going to the Ruger. The reset on the Glock is more pronounced but it feels like it takes more effort to get the Glock to fire. Reset on the Ruger isn't as distinct as the Glock but it's not bad. Otherwise, they're equally easy to manipulate and I can't tell a difference in recoil really. So, despite the capacity advantage (standard magazines) I still carry the Glock. I've shot them so long I'm really comfortable with them and the Ruger doesn't do anything better than the Glock to the point I'll make the switch.
