Took the G43x I got last night to the pistol range just to get a feel for it. Recoil isn't that much worse than the SD9, despite being a fair bit lighter in weight, it's a bit snappier (which I expected) but not unbearably so. I imagine the full-length grip helps mitigate some of the percieved recoil. In any case, the gun shoots straighter than I can, and I shoot marginally straighter with it. Pic of the target below, for size reference, the circle I put on it is roughly 3" in diameter. Shooting was done from a standing position at approximately 15yards with a total of 11 rounds fired

Nice i had some of my 9mm's out today. It was close to 50 degrees F here. Ran off 200 rounds. Shot both my 1911's my Canik my Ruger SR9 my Walther PPX and my Taurus PT111. I used to have a SD9VE too. Couldn't hit very well with it. Traded it towards one of my 1911's.

I didn't dislike my SD9VE, it just wasn't well suited for EDC, which is what I bought it for. I eventually want to get a full size 9 for shooting competitions, but there's other things higher on my priority list right now.

If i was going to compete i would not hesitate to use my Canik. It's a TP9SF. For a striker fired gun it really impressed me the 1st time i shot it. It caught me off guard how sweet the trigger was. Not sure how it would hold up under a lot of practice plus competing. But they are life time warranty. Also my 1911's i would consider too. They are both tac models not the standard GI models. All 3 guns group very well.

Not too familiar with Canik, I'll have to look into them. Used to have an FNS9 that I was rather fond of, wouldn't mind getting another FN for competition, that thing was a tack driver if there ever was one.

Good job...

I did better than I expected, and will (theoretically) only get better with practice. Considering night sights in the future, but for now the standard sights are serviceable.

Pretty good first run with it!

Hold that "11-shot" target to your chest and consider the "effect" if that had been a self-defense action.
