He breaks down the strengths and weaknesses of each platform, explaining why he believes the Shield is better out of the box but ultimately prefers the Glock 43 as his personal carry gun after adding aftermarket upgrades. Colion concludes that both are reliable, shootable options that buyers can trust for concealed carry.

Key takeaways
