We recently upgraded my wife's carry from her late father's Karr CW-9 to the same 43x. I agree entirely with your assesment. The trigger is outstanding compared to the 43, even though she's still getting used to it. She's used to having a little less travel and a more defined wall, but she understands that it's ideal for a carry gun. She loves the Gen 5 front slide serrations. Weight has always been a concern for her, depending on what she wears. She has a mag of Federal JHPs for most occasions and a mag of NDV X rounds when she's looking to drop another lb. Those NDV rounds get her loaded weight down to 1lb 5oz compared to 2lb 8oz with my Glock 20. Anything to get her to feel comfortable carrying her gun more often. She leaves for work earlier than I do, so when I look and see her carry is missing from our spot, it means that she took it with her, which makes me happy.
