I have been carry a Ruger in .380 , however I have felt for some time I needed a little more than the .380 and the little Ruger is not the easiest gun to hit with. I really like the 43 . The guy at the store told me they sell everyone of them they can get (usually the day they get them).
If I couldn't get the 43 , I was looking at the "Shield" . Nice gun as well.
