Can't be as snappy as the LC9, holy shit. It's easier to hold onto a pissed off bald eagle. I fell into a G43 for $300 from a co-worker. Bought it for his wife, she couldn't rack it, so it sat in a drawer for a year having never been fired. What are you going to use for the slide? Actual glock or one of those brazilian clones? Let me know how it runs once you're done.
