Or, how about YOU stop? We can play this game all day, my friend, but at the end of the day, it really doesn’t matter. Believe what you want. You’re certainly entitled.Dude just stop, Glock is not far ahead of everyone, some would make the argument they got left behind about a decade ago. :miff:
Who cares?? I have no use for front slide serrations. I like my fingers so I keep them away from the muzzle. Press checks are not needed (except for those who like to play operator) M&P's have a witness hole. With press checks you risk leaving your firearm partially out of battery resulting in a bad result when you need it to work.The "added front slide serrations" are so small and barely there that it's just for looks and not generally a value add.
Yes, you can't post a single online e-tailer with a sale and claim that to be normal price. Here, let's use more popular e-tail sites. Yes, they are about $40. I used to have an M&P40 and I remember the prices.

He’s a hipster.An inferiority complex I would say. Next, he will conduct a drop test reminiscent to the Sig P320! As for CZ hat, well...
Actually, he now carries a CZ P01. He went away from the G19 because he had issues with getting his gloved trigger finger in the Glock trigger guard.MAC carries a gen 3 19 and has for years.
I'm pretty sure its still polygonal rifling, and that it isn't recommended to shoot lead through them.I watched the video and didn't care for it, but I see where he is coming from.
People are having a hard time understanding the "Marksman barrel".
On its face, without knowing the background and history it's easy to say it's pointless and not an improvement.
Some Law enforcement contracts, have specified a barrel change from the traditional Glock barrel. The most well known instance of this is what is known as the "Miami barrel".
Law Enforcment agencies for some time have recognized that bullets fired from the traditional Glock barrel are difficult at best to link to a specific weapon. With the barrel change, presumably this makes identifying and linking the projectile to a specific weapon much easier leading to its incorporation in Gen 5 models.
In turn, Glock had to retool to make the barrel that was specified by these contracts and by using that barrel in the Gen 5 civilian models recoops some of that cost by leaving that SKU consistent with LE Gen5/M variant contracts.
That barrel also addressed the issue of shooters wanting to fire lead bullets through the barrels so there is some value there.
The Gen5 is a solution to problems and requests by LE. When viewed in that light, it makes complete sense.
Anyone can shop around and find cheap mags. But standard price is standard price. Here are some local store's prices:Thats been the price on that website since at least January, so yes i can post it & i did post it lmao. Besides IF someone isn't smart enough to do a search, then they deserve to pay full retail. Here $25 https://www.botach.com/smith-wesson-m-p-pistol-magazines/ oh my looky here https://www.cdnnsports.com/m-p-9mm-17rd-s-w-factory.html#.WcT5_BeQxD8 oh my! https://www.magcommander.com/products/smith-wesson-m-p-9mm-17-round-magazine
The navy seals don't run this gunI guess the US Navy Seals should have waited for his review! LOL
I'm not saying it's an imprint system. What I am saying is, the change is likely due to easier identification of projectiles, which has been requested for some time, and I cited Miamis request for a different barrel as proof of some agencies wanting easier projectile identification.The "Miami" barrel was actually an identifying imprint system. Unless Glock is totally covering this up, the new Marksman barrel is no such thing. Perhaps the new rifling does make more distinct marks on the bullet and Glock is just claiming better accuracy because they have to say SOMETHING about why they changed the barrel.
And no, Glock is not saying lead is now safe to shoot.
Why the Glock bashing? People gripe because they want something new or different to buy. Glock offers their FBI pistol to the general public just like the public wanted. Now, he gripes about it. Trying to be controversial so people will flock to his channel perhaps?
