    It sounds like you just need a break from the P30. Nothing wrong with that and the Glock is as good a platform for it as any.

    Hate to tell you but for small hands, the answer to your questions is a Gen 4 G19.

    Sights are pretty personal. The Glock brand night sights are, I believe, made by Meprolight. They are OK but personally, for basic night sights its worth the extra $20 for Trijicons or Ameriglo's which use Trijicon lamps.

    Thanks. It might be just that.

    As far as the Gen 4, it's a tougher fit for me out of the box. The mag release and slide lock are shaped differently, so much so that the Gen 3 is easier even though there's no grip modification. I'll double check my range and see if the one they showed me has any straps on it.

    Video is self explanatory.

    HK designs their levers to be used as both a slide catch / stop and a Slide release - Glock designs theirs as a catch/stop only. if you want to use your thumb, you need the factory extended (FBI) release or the Vickers.

    Easy fix.

    1. Unload pistol and place in its Glock box.
    2. Drive it to HK dealer
    3. Trade in on VP9
    4. Stop at In N Out on way home to celebrate your genius.

    Lmfao! Glad you chimed in. I find the VP9 to have a weak reset. Was it my experience of 1? Fill me in.

    If they made a vp9 with a thumb safety I would probably have one.

    This is soooooo what I want to do, but as I alluded to in a PM to you I'm so damn invested in Glock for so long I'm having a damn hard time making the jump to HK.

    The HK has called to me for so long but was never authorized. Now it will be an option. Curses!!!!
