  • TITELTHEMA Subkompaktpistole Glock G43 Im Kaliber 9 Mm Luger
    TITELTHEMA Subkompaktpistole Glock G43 im Kaliber 9 mm Luger Gewaltiger Glockenschlag: Auch eine „kleine“ Neuheit, wie die hier erstmals vorgestellte Glock G43 Subkompaktpistole in 9x19, kann großes Interesse hervorrufen. 7-8/2015 caliber 6 C 7-8 006-013 KW Glock.indd 6 11.06.15 07:21 geniales glÖckchen In Nürnberg auf der IWA 2015 gewährte der österreichische Hersteller Glock, der im Reich der modernen Polymerdienstpistolen weltweit Kultstatus genießt, nur Eingeweihten einen Blick auf die brandneue Sub- kompaktpistole Glock G43 mit einreihigem Magazin und einer Feuerkraft von 6+1 Patronen in 9x19. Wir konnten den Winzling bereits ausführlich erproben. ugegeben, für Sportschützen ist der österreichische G43-Kraft- Zzwerg ohne jeglichen Praxisnut- zen. Doch überall dort, wo leichtes Gewicht und Minimaldimensionen ge- paart mit der ballistischen Leistung der weltweit bei Militär und Polizei do- minierenden 9 mm Luger begehrt sind, wird die neue Subkompaktpistole aus Österreich sicherlich auf größtes In- teresse stoßen. Diesen Markt darf man global gesehen nicht unterschätzen, wird doch beispielsweise in Nordame- rika in nahezu allen Bundesstaaten den Zivilbürgern mit einer einfach zu erwerbenden „concealed carry licence“ das Recht auf Selbstschutz und somit das verdeckte Tragen einer Faustfeu- erwaffe zugestanden. Hinzu kommen dann Sicherheitsinstitutionen und -unternehmen aus aller Herren Län- der, die mit verdeckten Ermittlern und Personenschützern arbeiten. Diese Kli- entel legt großen Wert auf maximale Bequemlichkeit und Diskretion beim tagtäglichen verdeckten Führen des Dienstwerkzeuges, wozu auch oftmals eine zweite Lebensversicherung in Form einer „Back Up“-Sekundärwaffe gehört. Gelungener Giftzwerg: Die Glock G43 mit einer 7-8/2015 Feuerkraft von 6+1 Patronen in 9 mm Luger in beiden Seitenansichten mit eingeführtem Magazin mit identischer Kapazität und verlängertem Boden sowie beigelegtem Standardmagazin.
