Not sure how I hadn't heard about this forum before but glad to find it now.

Just starting out my collection. Got a Radical Firearms AR and a Glock 43 so far. Very tempted to try the Glock MOS but saving up for one of those.

Welcome to WaGuns! Thanks for making an intro thread.

How do you like the Glock 43? Do you carry it?

I have a 42 as my main carry gun and really like it, but I've never tried a 43.

I bought it intending to carry it but haven't done so yet. I've mostly just been target shooting to try and get really comfortable with it and try to get more accurate. I have a holster for it and have work it empty a couple times to get used to it being there. Seems a little rigid so I want to look for other holsters that flex a bit more.

So this will be your first carry gun, I take it? Yeah, it takes a little getting used to for a number of different reasons.

What kind of holster did you buy?

Yup, first carry gun. I bought a Crimson Trace green laser for it that came with a holster. Figured two birds, one purchase.

Welcome to WaGuns!
Carrying will become so 2nd nature that it is simply putting on another item of clothing. I actually have to remind myself the importance of paying more attention to the piece than I do my socks.

Found out my employer has a policy disallowing carry or leaving firearm secured in a vehicle that is on their property. May not be carrying after all.

This is very typical. We need a law that at least makes vehicle storage allowable.
