Why?
I'm not impressed with its performance. I'm not impressed that the company advertises incessantly. I'm not impressed that the company incessantly markets and advertises sub-par ammo.
I SPECIFICALLY took into account the OP's gun which has a 3.3 inch barrel when I made my ammo suggestion. These ammo choices below WILL offer excellent, top of the market performance. If he wants to shoot a sub-par ammo in his G43, than by all means, shoot a polymer tip round from Hornady.
I know a lot of guys get worked up when I say this, and that is OK. Hornady rounds are EXCELLENTLY marketed and their distribution network is second to none. They are thus in the hands of a lot of shooters for that reason. Doesn't make them the BEST, or even middle of the pack.
what I recommend for him:
Speer Gold Dot 124+p
Federal HST 124+P, 147, or 147+p
You still haven't given any facts or links, just opinion. Not saying the observations you've made over the course of whatever it is you do were flukes- only that you have not given any hard data, no links to test, no links to studies... nothing. So right now what you've said carries no more weight than any other Joe Blow.
