    Makes me sad :-(
    Then people would complain it had a hammer.

    It's almost like what people want is a Glock with a better trigger. They made that gun and called it the Heckler and Koch VP9.

    I would rather rather have the trigger dingus than the grip safety. The trigger dingus is more positive to engage/disengage.

    Instead of a single mag design for all pistols, a 2 way approach seems to be more sensible.

    Glock pattern when possible, would be hard to fit in a metal frame, but easily doable in polymer guns, obviously glock does it, and the various aftermarket frames have been able to show that the glock mag doesn't mean you have to have glock like ergos

    Beretta pattern for guns that can't quite fit the larger glock mags. I want to say the beretta mags are based on BHP mags? In any case it seems like most metal double stack mags are based on this pattern

    These two patterns are probably the best representatives both price, options, and quality wise. I think its fair to say that the options for aftermarket glock and beretta mags are better (and more numerous) than the aftermarket options for HK, S&W, etc.

    Its also much easier for primarily polymer companies like magpul or ETS to make glock mags that are at least somewhat functional.

    And as far as quality of hk vs glock mags? I imagine the amount of glock mags that are out there dwarfs the amount of HK mags, so I wouldn't be so quick to judge based on a few reports

    This is not, however, a function of the Glock magazine.

    Lone Wolfs Timberwolf 2.0 magazine has really comfortable, slim ergonomics. I took this picture at SHOT a few years ago. I was amazed at how different these felt in the hand, they were reminiscent of a CZ75 but smaller in the grip:
    LW has the large frame 2.0 out. A guy on my shit has a G20 with it, and it does significantly reduce the grip circumference. The 9/.40 2.0 frame is still vaporware, though.

    You must be real close.

    That's what I get for posting in a hurry with only a couple of sips of coffee in me.
