The Dark Side

I fired bgreene's Glock 43 last week and liked it. I have an LC9 which is about the same size that I don't really like. Saturday I bought a Glock 43.
Yesterday I took it to the range and right off the bat, it decided it didn't like my reloaded 115gr rn reloads. Wanted to jam, not extractand other problems. (This doesn't count the 9 CCI primers that didn't want fire). It fired flawlessly with new PMC 9mm. I fired about 70 rounds. Accuracy was pretty good, once I figured out where the sights want to shoot (6 o'clock a little low for target center).
Comparison between the 43 and the LC9:
The Glock has a 6 round mag, the LC9 has a 7 round mag
The Glock is a bit thinner and is better for pocket carry.
The LC9 is more my reload friendly.
I might be able to shoot the glock more accurately. I haven't done any point and shoot drills yet.
First time field strip and reassembly of the Glock was interesting. Their instructions were beyond my flexibility.
Note: A sign of advancing age? I fired the 43, LC9, SR9 and M&P9 yesterday. I don't field strip the 9mm's very often. It took a minute or three to "remember" each one.
