I've done that once or twice with flashlights in a pants pocket.

OK I just did a comparison of my 43 with my PPS, Taurus G2C and Marzy's 365.

The PPS and 43 carry the same number of rounds. (7+1)
The 365 has a chain gun load in the magazine
Same with the Taurus, load it in the morning and shoot all day.

Triggers. Well there is no comparison. 365 beats them all. It's all most too light and smooth.

Glock, well it's a glock. But I can put rounds on steel at 30 yards.
PPS, blows away the Glock and Taurus. Almost as good as the 365.

Sizes, the 365 is the smallest.
The PPS look larger because of the grip and mag.
The Taurus feels similar to the Glock

Ergonomics, the 365 feels good but the PPS just feels the best.

It's feel gave it the lowest felt recoil
The Taurus felt like a cannon going off. I don't know why it's so snappy.

Ultimately, the 365 wins all around with the PPS next. I thought for sure the PPS had a higher bore axis but it's negligible. It has a higher cut into the back of the grip for your thumb.
And a deeper cut under the trigger guard.

He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster.

Yes, I absolutely trust the Glock as reliable.
And that tops all the reason I finally caved and got one.

Gee.
I meant to add a smiley emoji because I didn’t want to across as starting a fight akin to a caliber squabble.
But I sure didn’t think you’d cave so fast.

I purchased my fifth Glock today, a G30, from a Sig Forum member.

Chowser, who makes that slide release?

That is the kagwerks lever. I have them on my gen5 and gen4 because my grip keeps causing the slide to lock.

On my Glock 45, it causes slide scratches on the left side only.

On my duty gun (gen4 31), it does not.

We're switching to the Glock 45 next year. I already ordered another kagwerks lever for it.

Not minority enough!

Oh, yeah, as soon as I saw it, I knoew its purpose. I could use something like that for my G42 and G43, because my big paws will prematurely lock these pistols if I'm not careful.

So, I'm looking around but I don't see this lever for the slimline Glocks.

OK, I see it. They offer it for the G43 but not the G42.

19 frame came today. Looks like Glock is only including two beavertail backstraps these days.

Gun feels good. I loaned my gen2 19 to my mom years ago and she won’t give it back and I gave my gen4 19 to a friend to use for her ccw class.

Glad to have a “19” back in the stable.

I want a Gen 5 G21 but with a 4" bbl.
13 + 1 capacity of .45acp and the size of a G45/G19X.

The Gen 5 19 is the best one yet.

Rumors of the Gen5 G20 in January. I hope the big frame is free of issues and I can pick one up.

I'm seriously considering an older 19.
I don't need all the interchangeable stuff.

I hope they eventually get around to offering a G19/26.

??? They already have Gen 5 19’s and 26’s or do you mean something like the G45/19x only 19 frame 26 slide or vice versa?

I’d like a G30 G5 MOS myself. Not a 30s but a “normal” G30.
