I'm contemplating purchasing one as my do it all handgun, the Dusk 19 R is intriguing as research indicates that is a flat, soft shooter.

Question:
What should I get?

Choices:
LW Dusk 19
LW Dusk 19 R

 

How about buying THIS ONE, instead? Lol.

Don't know much about the reliability of Lone Wolf's Glock clones, but plenty has been said about their Glock aftermarket barrels, and quite a lot of that past chatter hasn't always been the most kind. I've had decent results with the few that I've owned (barrels), but a couple haven't been the most consistent with regards to accuracy.

Other that adding a subjective judgment of the LW's appearance--it spot-on captures the Polymer80 slap-together vibe, which in my mind isn't a great thing to achieve--where I'm not feeling it as a worthy gun for the 7 Benjamins that Rainier Arms is asking. Yes, totally judgmental and not based on solid experience or knowledge. But fugly is fugly, and that thing is in my humble opinion F-U-G-L-Y. I'd rather spend hard-earned cash on a MR920 from the more proven Shadow Systems if actual Glocks weren't my thing. But fortunately that's an issue I don't have to fret about. The Real Deal guns work just fine for me.

Uh oh. You didn't answer his question. Here comes another eyeroll.

From what I can tell, the only difference between the two is the comp, but the comp model forces you to give up some sight radius as a result. I wouldn’t mind, but I’m not a comp guy anyway, so my vote is for the regular one.

I vote regular because I'm not sure about CCWing a gun with that large of a comp, and that port is a bit larger than most other ported guns.

All Glocks are F-U-G-L-Y. Might as well get one that took a class in ergonomics.

Myself, I would look at the Shadow Systems line up.
