So you can see the fancy barrel inside!

I do like the looks of this better than their first generation of compensators.
The slide appears to be machined differently at the muzzle end than prior models. If it is backwards compatible it would have an unsightly gap on the bevels at the top corners of the slide.

These P models are designed to be comp guns from the get go. I suspect, they may design a different version that would work with the previous non comp versions, otherwise your correct, the lines wouldn't match.

I have no desire for one personally, my MR's are just fine without. They did however do a nice job on these and the new comp design.

SS definitely has some talented and forward thinking R&D guys working there. LOL, shame Glock doesn't have that kind of talent.

Have they improved customer service recently -- lots of chatter about the company being non responsive to problems?

Also minor cosmetic updates to the Foundation guns.

I'm not familiar with the current lineups but I think the Foundation has replaced the Combat series.

I am highly unlikely to try them again after my CR920 experience.

The locking feature on the comp is an intriguing innovation. I am curious to see if it is a stroke of genius, or the next evolution of a customer service nightmare.

CR920 was such a great experience I left glock and shadow systems all together and now use a p365 for everything

The Foundation series has replaced the Combat model since there wasn't as much of a difference between the combat and Elite, just some slide work. There is a bigger spread between the Foundation and Elite models, especially since you can get upgraded foundation models now. The foundation model is really the direct competition to the Glock MOS models. SS felt the foundation with available upgrades will pull more buyers potentially looking at a Glock MOS due to their pricing being almost the same.

I agree the CR and its's initial release was pretty much a crap shoot. I had one and had three in to the department for T&E and mine ran fine, while two of the T&E guns has some problems. I have since handled and shot some recent production CR's and they ran flawlessly.

The 365 is a fantastic pistol, and I still have one, but I have since moved back toward the Glock style platform. I go between my 43X and my CR, both of which have been flawless. I'm also back to carrying my 920's on duty again. Not worried about the 320 and any safety issues, I just missed the Glock style platform. 30 plus years in LE, over half of that carrying Glocks, and it's hard to completely break away from them.

It is a great platform (glock). I think me having medium small hands is what makes the p365 system a winner for me. I can out 500 to 1k000 rounds out of a p365 no issues (in a day). Now that I don't shoot g19s anymore when I shoot mine my trigger finger wants to lockup/cramp after 200 rounds (just reach plus where the hump meets my palm). Not an issue if I only shoot G19 though

I may stray, but I always end up back with a Glock.

I am really curious to see which direction Glock starts going. With Gaston passing, many different things could happen.

1. Status quo, keep things going exactly the way they have.

2. Changes are made that will take Glock into a more relative future, IE manufacturing changes.

3. Business is sold for $1 to 4 billion.

Why does everyone keep insisting on cutting holes in slides?

Reduction in slide mass reciprocating means less inertia. Glock 34 Gen 3 and 4 had the cut out at the end to reduce any “dip” and left mass on the back of the slide.

It makes sense TBH.

I shot my CR920 and 365 side by side this morning with HST 147. The CR was maybe a hair flatter shooting but the dingus on the trigger was irritating the shit out of my finger. I took a file to the sharp point and hopefully that will solve that issue. I hadn't shot the 365 in a while and I forgot how accurate it is.
