I would guess that it depends on your purpose. You built a pretty good case for the CS in your post, but all three are beautiful guns and serve a different purpose.
I get it, but I just can't do it. I have carried a Ruger LCP for a couple of years in the summer, but there are too many quality small 9mm's out there.
I assume that there is no way H&K would make a new version of the P7M8? My understanding is that the manufacturing process is more complicated than most current manufactured pistols.
If I remember correctly the problem early on were some of the magazines weren't put together correctly. I haven't heard of any other problems. Mine has functioned flawlessly.
Thanks for all of your replies. It looks like the adapter is my best bet since i will not be carrying it for self defense. And the adapter doesn't require an FFL.
I have a Gen 3 Glock 20 complete slide, but no longer have a gen 3 frame. What are the options for getting a used Gen 3 frame or a clone frame? Has anyone had this problem and how did you remedy the problem?
