G43X

G27 Gen 4
Want something that hits and kicks harder than 9mm?
The G27 Gen 4 is subcompact chambered in .40 caliber.
While I am a huge fan of 9mm. Given how few bullets are used in self-defense, it makes sense to consider a .40 caliber over 9mm.
There is no rail for attaching a laser or light.
