Tell the guy to get a firm grip on the pistol and stop “limp wristing” it. His prescription was exactly the same as mine. I contacted the Glock armorer I often work with at gun shows to see what he thought.

I suspected the cause immediately, mainly because I knew this guy did not have much experience shooting a semi-auto handgun.

He asked me if I had any idea or a solution to try. Within a week he called to tell me the pistol jammed, stove-piped, and generally refused to shoot even several different types of ammo. He was pleased as punch and thrilled to have his new concealed weapon in hand. The guy did, and my friend snapped up the only second G-43 I have known to be in our town at that time. He asked the guy to hold it for an hour and he would be there. However, at the second store the counter man told him he had just gotten in two of them and one had already sold. The first store gun sales person had never heard of it. He just called around the two local stores to see when they might get one. Two weeks later, my buddy called to tell me he just bought a Glock 43 from Academy. The trick was going to be to find one, and silly me I assumed it would be a while. Nicknamed the “slimline” I knew this would be a viable choice of weapon for my friend. I had a good friend already asking me about a thin, lightweight, 9mm pistol for self-protection and concealed carry. We were told at the show that shipments were to begin immediately after the NRA Show was over. This is the new single stack magazine, 9mm pistol that has been long awaited. Soon after attending the NRA Annual Meeting and show in Nashville this past spring, I had the opportunity to handle the new Glock 43. Don’t “Limp Wrist” Your Carry Gun or It Will Jam
