I know this is kind of a nit but would really like to understand why sometimes Glock 43 barrel length is listed as 3.39 inches and then also in other places as 3.41 inches. Glock literature says 3.41 but I often see the 3.39 number (Buds). Does it have to do with when gun was manufactured? (I'm not quibbling over 0.02 inches, but still wonder).

I think the measurement can vary slightly due to the variation tools uses to measure the barrel length. 0.02 inches sounds likely to come from that variation. Apart from that, Buds rely on information from distributor...so if the distributor list it as 3.39 instead of 3.41...then buds will do the same.

David, actual barrel length is 3.41 inches. Buds tends to recycle descriptions (some are old) and not do complete specification updates on new firearm listings. Cheers and stay safe!
