I know it really hasn't even been 4 weeks yet but seems how people have received theirs in less time around the same time period is kinda confusing.
I have no problem with my 43.. from 30 feet away I rarely miss hitting targets (5 metal gong style).. I admit it took some time to get the feel of aiming such a small weapon but after about 400 rounds I am very comfortable with it..
