Thanks. They can hack all they want. I was setting up a reason where a single stack, striker fired, commander sized, 45ACP Glock made sense. The size and brand were were stated for the purpose of excluding the G36 and anything not a Glock. Capacity was specified to reinforce the size. MOS was specified because I don’t want to bother sending parts out for machining. There are some great shops doing awesome work out there, no argument with that. But there is something to be said for “showroom stock”.
I purposefully dropped this in the Semi-auto pistol part of the hardware forum, in the hope that we’d all focus on the firearm and not the politics mentioned to set the table. I’ve watched enough threads here go sideways and should have anticipated the reactions.
I think we’re all ticked off enough at what’s coming out of DC these days, I know I am.
Worried about the cost of a pistol involved in a defensive gun use? That is a sentiment that we hear somewhat regularly, but it is completely ridiculous. What about the cost of your legal defense? Even in the most straight-forward of cases, a no-doubt 'good-shoot', even in a supposedly 'gun-friendly' state, even when caught on video, will take months and tens (if not hundreds) of thousands of dollars. That cost will make the value of any impounded pistol to seem like pocket change.
That's very broad advise that may or may not apply. More and more "gun friendly" states are beginning to shield righteous shoots from civil liability, and I've seen good shoots declared as such at the scene by the on call prosecutor. The gun still goes into evidence while things get finalized, but having been through the process from both sides I don't think it's a silly concern at all.
Sorta around sometimes for some of your shitty mod needs.
I did this same calculus some years back, and realized the HK45C LEM solves all of these problems very well. Albeit without the attractive blue-label pricing, reasonable genuine mag prices, and massive holster support.
Can't believe we've gotten this far without...

Not another dime.
Ive believe there was a lawsuit here over an individual trying to get a gun back after a good shoot. As I understand it, if they confiscate you will never get it back. Makes it hard to swallow buying multiples of a small 9mm 1911 that is going for multiples of the price of a 26.
I'll wager you a PF dollar™ 😎
