    I have had 3 single stack 9s. Shield, Walther PPS M2 and the 43. The others had less recoil than the Glock, but the Glock is still around. The others were as heavy as my G26. I haven't looked at another single stack 9. Carry the 43 over my 43x and P365 a lot. Vickers +2 and the 43 is still light and thin.

    My FNX-9 pointed me to the 503. I bought an FDE 503, ran 200 rds out of the gate and haven't looked back. Surprisingly little recoil for a Micro, so much so my wife bought one for herself. She stepped up from a .380 to the 503 for her Daily.

    Got my G43 back in 2018 it's a real genuine work horse and after countless shots taken at the range it's hardly ever had a issue, I really think the only hiccups that happened were due to the spring in the magazine not being as strong after heavy usage. It's my go to EDC love to still see it getting well deserved attention, cool vod man.

    I’ve had several Glock 43’s for years and love them. I recently got the FN 503 and find it to be awesome. I love the trigger on the 503 and handling as far as recoil. The 503 will become one of my favorites just like the Sig P365. As far as EDC …I d feel just as comfortable with the 503. Round capacity is a decision each of us has to make. Being a retired cop with 30 years experience tells me most shootings last just seconds and a few rounds fired. So in my opinion, a EDC is not required to be in a long, sustained gun battle so is 6 or 8 rounds enough for what you’re trying to do ?

    Some variance here imo. I’m seeing reviews where the Glock trigger is breaking over 10 pounds. Grip texture is weak. Factory sights are crap so just add $100 to the cost. For me the FN lineup cleans house in form AND function.

    43 everyday all day. Factory Magazine availability is limitless, as they’re found everywhere. Glock’s proven ultra reliability is second to none. Glock mags are $10.00 less than the 503 mags. That loooonger trigger reset on the 503 is a huge killer for me. When rapid firing under stress, the longer reset just sucks. Glock aftermarket accessory support (holsters, sights, etc…) are second to none.

FN is a fantastic gun and you can find stuff for them and if you go with a company like GAN. You’ll get a crazy good holster for a really good price and fantastic customer service.

    Mmm. Well not allowed any pistol here so my choice is somewhat academic. Yet! Drum roll.. I would pick the 43. Think it lends itself to a faster concealed draw because of the grip angle. Moreover and as mentioned is a very well supported and reliable staple.

    I don't 100% disagree but the 503 is so much thinner, I'd say its more flexibility n use. 43 will be too big for some women that don't want to print, better for pocket carry or belly ban. 43x def wins when it comes to capacity and mag options!
