    My sister was a 6th Grade math teacher in a Title I school(aka, very poor district) for 7 or 8 years.

    In the last week of her class every year, she'd teach 'The Game of Life'. Kids were assigned...

    When contacting customer service, it's best to succinctly explain how and why you're not an idiot. Because experience and numbers teach CS reps to assume people are idiots.

    You mean to say, I can buy aftermarket sights for a Glock 20 or 21 and they drop right into one of these?

    Seems like a ton of well-thought-out pistol for basically $450ish out the door. Rad!

    I just looked up the typical street price on these, and discovered they make a TH10 10mm... Pic rail, ambi, 15+1 with two mags, captive dual recoil spring USP style, and it's cheaper than a base...

    Aside from a tendency to lose rear sights when physically abused, I haven't seen any significant problems with M17's. We've had them for about 2 years now.

    I vaguely remember you sharing that somewhere else on this forum at some point in time - bummer, any way you slice it!

    You're talking about the headgaskets - on most vehicles, but especially Subarus, that's an engine-out job to do correctly.

    Based on personal experience with bullpups, I'd bet on it being impossible to switch strong sides while clearing structures, and clunky/slow reloads.
