As an owner of both a Glock 26 and a Glock 42 (very close in dimensions to the 43) I can tell you that the real world differences are vastly greater than the measurements would suggest.
Comparing them, I’d still prefer my Kimber Micro.
I'm typically an HnK bigot however carrying an HnK USP9 isn't the easiest thing in the world .....
Weight in the magazine load is the biggest difference for ease of carry, IME.
Springfield XDS In .45 ACP. Because I care enough to send the very best.

I have both. The 43 is easier for CCW as it is thinner and does not print like the 26, though with a good jacket the 26 won’t print, either. The 26 has greater capacity, of course.
I shoot both of them very well.
My favorite Glock is the 19, and that is okay for CCW if the jacket is heavy enough. I only weigh 150 pounds so I am somewhat limited as to the size of the pistol I can comfortably carry.
I am a Glock fan, in case you can’t tell!
Jeeesus
Gotta be pretty bored to come up with this comparison
Basically same gun. Different magazine capacity
How about put them in ur hand and go with the one that feels better
This one is already at the eye roll level of the 9 mm . 45 debate
I’ve IWB carried a G26 for many years. No question that ANY reduction in width would be greatly appreciated. Am hoping to acquire a G43 this year.
I’m very happy with my Glock 17!!!
Glock 19/23 is as small as I want to go, size wise. Glock 23 is my primary carry pistol.
Another sterling example why it’s G-d’s own mystery why anyone bothers to visit Am Shooting Journal, yet, ironically, it by far is the most frequently quoted-from gun website on this board.
It’s a shame the dinosaurs had to die so we could watch that pointless piece of fluff.
