Still Recommend Glock 26 or Now Springfield Hellcat or FN Reflex 

Damn, you're right. I saw they released the gen 5 G20 MOS also. I wonder if the G29 gen 5 is coming soon.

I was surprised it wasn't included. The Shield+ and the G26 are the standard bearers.

Between the reflex , hellcat , 365 - is the reflex thicker ? I’m torn between 365 and FN and I’ve been told the reflex is thicker - but if that’s from front of grip to back that’s ok - but not if it’s thickness / width. Does the FN handle recoil any better??

@@peopleperson7263The Reflex is not thicker than the hellcat or Sig

Glock 26 is a very good gun, one you can trust your life with.

Wow, Im not alone. Not too many Springfield fans out there given all the political stuff on social media. I can like the Product without liking the company.

The gear up package is an excellent value and big plus for the product.

hoping for glock serialized fcg like sig...put that fcg in any frames 👀

They kind of locked themselves in with marketing also. That "Glock Perfection" motto was great for 20+ yrs... changing the design kind of is an admission of lack of perfection, eventually they're gonna have to do something to stay competitive, it'll be interesting to see what.

​@@Peakfreudsomethings are just great the way they are...iconic,old and great and thats why people love them....things like 1911s, thompsons, aks and uzis, no matter how "crude" or "outdated" people complain they are just seem to seemlessly work and get the job done in any condition....even tho there are more innovative,ergononic and even lighter weapons but there is only one fonzerelli, if you get what im saying

@@soulbrother1143 I agree some what, but eventually wood stock gave way to cheaper and lighter plastics, polymer also made production faster & cheaper, innovation for civil usage is slower, for military usage every slight edge is pursued. Even the 1911 evolved to accommodate optics The 1911 also slowly made its way off the battle field along with the traditional 45. Glock has also changed, there just so many makes and the keep the same ergonomics and design line that it appears that they haven't But the Micro line of 9's is definitely innovation & evolution, small innovations add up albeit slowly to redefine design.

If they make standard 15 rd mags and 20rd mags oem for the 43x and 48 then it’s over for the micro / slim line competitors I think Glock just letting them get some sales for the moment it’s coming

I have a hellcat sitting in FFL jail, waiting for a "delay" to clear. Current EDC is a VP9 (Full size). I'm excited about the SF9cc by HK (probably be called VP9cc in USA) should be a pretty nice addition to the line up.

@@vegeta420z6Is there any word when the SFP9CC will be available in the US?

HK didn't have any at Shot Show 2024 unfortunately

@@HammerStriker Yeah from what I heard we most likely won't see this micro 9 until 2026. I'm not too worried the last few years barely feel like months.

I love my Glocks, but they are bulkier than they need to be and could hold more rounds if they ditched the plastic sleeved mags that get stuck in the mag well sometimes. They also come with plastic sights. They are amazing in their simplicity, and I love that I can completely disassemble and reassemble the entire gun with my eyes closed. But to say that any changes would ruin their reliability is shortsighted. There are plenty of guns out there that score just as high if not higher than Glocks in NATO testing and those companies are innovating. Glocks still hold so much of the market share, so they are resting on their laurels.

Oh, but you should!

One of the originals.. Never owned one, but I had a 27... Very Snappy gun. Still like it though

I would like to know the same!

It's the apex trigger

I never heard somebody choosing a gun over the ability to take it apart. I didn't think that would matter. S&W bodyguard is very annoying to take apart and that criteria still doesn't matter when talking about a defensive handgun.

I didn't even consider the takedown lever, and only think about it when I debate with myself (again) over replacing it with a gas pedal. For me, it was the flared edges keeping my nubs off the slide, the grip texture, the placement of the magazine release, the best combat optics I've seen on a pistol, the 15 round capacity, the slide release having the ability to rack a round, the rail, the stainless slide, the undercut trigger guard, and the trigger guard being large enough to use with gloves, the polished extended feed ramp and the halfway decent gen 2 trigger. I like the Kimber Mako's trigger better, but the overall useful and well thought out features on the Hellcat are what won me over. The handle size feels better (for me) than the Sig P365. Add in the Hellcat's reputation for feeding any ammo without a hiccup and otherwise being very reliable and you've got a recipe for a decent gun.

H&K VP9 is a good choice for lefties.

Gen5 is totally ambidextrous
