It's a glock so your going to like it and if you hate glocks you will hate it. I like the 43 it's the first subcompact slim line gun I bought from glock. The recoil isn't much it's accurate I wish the magazine with the pinky grip held an extra round. The trigger isn't to bad there is some "slop" not to much and the reset is noticeable or "tactical" I was looking at the m&p's but I had one before and hated the trigger. I would recommend this for EDC honestly if you can't hit your target with 6 +1 rounds get to the range more often.
