Does Mec-Gar make M&P magazines?
If so you might find them less expensive and reliable.

Forget new "innovation" i want to see them release a Gen 1 classic 19 and 17L for a retro gen 1 line.

Glock can’t compete with this 17L anyway…
Lol

 

[Bluedragon]

I still want to see a Gen 1 classic 19. I bet Glock would sell quite a few of them with its pebble texture and the fact only 5 originals still exist according to other forums.

I just threw up in my mouth!
But if Glock ever does stoop low enough to make a 1911 AARP, (perish the thought) it’ll be one of the best ones available…..

Some things don't need to change.

I don't want innovation; I want gradual evolution.

Gen5 is real cool with me, finally took care of the trigger reset spring. Mags are better now. Back straps are a good idea. I like front serrations for press checking. I like the marksman barrels. Going back to the two pin locking block is cool. I like the front of the slide broken/beveled.

If I want a gun of the day, I'll e-mail Ron Cohen. No, Ron Cohen, no, and get my bad idea made into a gun in some goofy lite brite color.

I'm just fine with Gen5 Glocks. I standardized on the Gen5 43X and the 45. All good in the hood here.

Yes, but I am cool with slow gradual improvements.

You guys have Gen5 17s, yes?

Do you use the SA-15 mags in the 43X? It would have been nice for Glock to have gotten that right…..on their own.

No, I use Glock factory mags and do not piddle with aftermarket stuff. Have seen too much failure. Factory mags are fine.

The only aftermarket stuff that I have on my Glocks are sights, 10-8s and Ameriglos.

I only use SA-15 mags. No problems at all with Gen 1’s or 2’s in either the G43X or G48. YMMV

Gen 1 G19 was that a prototype?
I thought they mass produced them as Gen 2.

Why do we have an obsession with innovation? When something is built well and functions well, why should it be tossed aside to make way for something new, if that new thing only brings 'new' to the table. I've been changing my perspective regarding Glock lately and have some to see their sticking with a solid, reliable design as a testament to sticking with their just cause of building reliable tools for agency or self defense applications.

How many of the new, innovative designs has delivered a meaningful change without some level of delivering problems with it? Sig struggles with unintended discharge issues and CZ is starting to see pistols going full auto with high round counts. At best, innovation often comes with a lack of support in the way of holsters or sights. Glock is keeping their product line relevant in today's market. Red dots capable models are available and they've added slim frame designs to accommodate the current trend in carry.

I'm not a Glock fanboy at all, having sold almost all of mine in a move towards the classic Sig design, but I do respect Glocks commitment to their mission of providing a simple, reliable handgun.
