Mp Shield Vs Glock 43 - In 2012, Smith & Wesson introduced the Shield, which quickly became the "go-to" firearm for those looking for an easy-to-conceal, reliable, and accurate handgun. In 2015, Glock introduced the long-awaited single-barreled 9mm pistol, the Model 43. Glock Is Ready To Take Smaller, Hidden Markets From Smith & Wesson... Are They?
In this review, we look at two advanced versions of the two pistols: the Performance Center Shield and the TALO Glock 42 Edition.
Mp Shield Vs Glock 43
I have a problem with the aim of the G43. While drawing the pistol in the dark, I noticed that when I illuminated the pistol with a flashlight, the front sight would always go over the rear post of the left eye. In other words, my point of aim was significantly to the left. My Glock 19 has the exact same sights and it won't do this. I find that the width of the G19 helps me hold tighter and get a clearer line of sight in the dark, while the thinner G43 allows for slightly larger deflections. But in reality, shooting in complete darkness is less likely. Between the moon and the street lights, the house is lit from outside with my torch burning constantly.

Another problem with my eyesight is due to my aging. While looking through the scope of the G43, I had the ability to double-sight and see two bright orange dots at the end of the slide. On the Performance Center Shield screen, I see the fiber optic as a bright green dot.
Based on the specs, the two pistols appear to be roughly the same size. The main difference is the height of the pistol. Specs show that the Glock is a quarter inch shorter than the Smith & Wesson. But that's cheating the feel of the Glock in my hand. Both pistols are equipped with a magazine extension that allows your pinkie to hold the pistol. The Smith & Wesson has extensions on the front and back, making the overall grip frame a bit longer. The Glock extension only provides a front surface for my little finger, but does not extend the rear surface of the grip. As a result, the heel of my palm does not touch the lower straps. It often feels like my hand can't fully control the pistol.
One of the biggest criticisms of Smith & Wesson M&P pistols is the poor trigger pull. They've fixed this issue in Shield and the gunsmiths at Performance Center have made improvements to the Performance Center version that improve the trigger experience. The Glock 43 trigger pull is ... well, a standard Glock trigger. Fighting for a better trigger pull is Smith and Wesson.
As you can see from the comparison targets below, the Shield has a slightly tighter range than the Glock 43. I'm not saying the Glock's accuracy is bad, its combat accuracy isn't bad. Shield accuracy is slightly better.

I reviewed the Shield four years ago when it first came out and found it to be good but not impressive. The release of Performance Center is a big step forward. Be a little careful with casks containing port. The most common place where civilians are attacked is when they are in a car. It's a very close fight. You can shield an attacker with your weak hand while you shoot with your dominant hand. This lens will be very close to your body. As a result, the port barrel sends the flame and hot gases upwards. You need to make sure your face is out of their way.
I really like the Performance Center Shield. If my personal situation required me to carry the smallest 9mm semi-auto pistol I would go for the Glock. Based purely on performance...I'd go with the Performance Center pistol from Smith & Wesson.
