I have yet to see one they are in such high demand.  Got a buddy who pre ordered at Brownells, no estimates on ship dates.

All that said, if it is as good as they claim, I will strongly consider getting one.

There was a guy trying to sell one for $700 firm.  MSRP is $599 and gun shop prices have been $500-$550 when they do pop up.  I messaged the guy asking if he knew that MSRP was $599 and if for $700 it came with any extras.  He didn't react too kindly to me.

My G27 is just too thick and heavy for true EDC. Been thinking about a G43.

Cannot go wrong with a S&W Shield or a G43.  Both time proven.  I personally liked the Shield a little more (hence why I bought one) just solely off of the extra round in flush and extended mags.  Ended up selling the Shield for an LCP II for extra concealment.  I'll get the P365 to fill the single stack 9 role though and put some rounds thru it.

Whatever you decide Phil, you can't go wrong between the three.  It'll be a whole lot more comfortable than the G27 too.

.380 isn't enough stoppage....

I carry a G23 every day, even in shorts and tshirt. Never had a problem. I have a little LC9 too that I like to carry, but it just doesn't hold enough munitions to suit me.

Agreed. Did you see the video awhile back where the two women shot the robber multiple times with a .380 and a .38?

While I do agree you lose a lot going below 9mm, .380 has it's niche.  The thing .380 has going for it these days is advancements in ammo and size of the guns.  Bigger guns and more rounds are nice, if you can carry it.  Easier to pass on carrying for the day a double stack 15 round gun than it is a gun you can just slip in your pocket.  Also nice for situations where you do not want to print but want to have something.  The Lehigh .380 xtreme penetrators aren't a bad little .380 round.

Totally agree - With good ammo the .380 in the pocket or inside your waistband is better then the cannon in your glove compartment or back home because it was too large to carry / conceal with the clothes you are wearing.

OK, I'll bow to Al's superior knowledge on this one. I've been trying to find a 9mm small enough to really conceal. Never tried the .380 except with regular rounds and wasn't impressed.

Ruger LC9s, hands down. I've carried mine on the beach in swimming trunks and a tshirt without even a belt.
