Never ending Glock clones.

For that money, that's a hard no for me.

Beat me to it. My brother has a 4" platypus with an rmr cc on it. 25 yards off a sandbag it'll put a whole mag through a 1½" hole. I was impressed. I need to try it in my safariland holster. If it works I'd be tempted to dump my Kimber TE ll.
Dude- you’re going to let a $100 holster dictate the purchase of a $2k pistol??
 
Just got the Grit Grips/Kinet-Tech gun together. Shooting tomorrow but wow cannot say enough good about how it looks and how nicely made the components are.

Shot it a good bit this morning, zero malfunctions and mechanical accuracy is great. The “gas pedal” let me shoot it fast with almost no muzzle flip. Love love love.
 
I don't like Ruger but this is a homerun. Partnering with Magpul is a very smart plan.

Since it's in the pit and we can shittalk... Am I the only one finding it hilarious that it took someone else to do what Glock could not? I mean, army contract asked for a modular gun and here comes a bunch of guns bidding including Glock. But the only one that was actually modular was Sig and they won the contract.

FFWD a few years later and a hold my beer engineering moment and you have someone else designing what glock can't out of glock's design. Oh look...a modular glock just like the army asked for years ago! And for the cherry on top, it also fixes glock's retarded grip angle. Hilarious.

daggers are trash worse than p80s
Daggers are trash except all the ones that run and shoot really well- we have 3 to use as class room guns -and they run l’ve heard of QC issues and I don’t know if they’ll last the infinity round count of a Glock but for the price don’t really care, the first one a full size dagger - got a blem for $280. Seen several thousand rounds - not a hiccup.

Not really a just as good argument - for the price point they offer a lot of value - and nothing stopping ya from dumping glock or Gucci parts into a dagger .

Now for the money quote- I like the dagger trigger WAY more than factory Glock.

On Daggers, my FS-S I purchased the frame for $40 and the threaded RMR slide for $189. Cannot be beat cost/value.

It has NEVER choked.

It runs great and is comfortable. My issue is with the pinned nature of the locking block/rails in front and pinned in rear rail too.

I wonder how it will fair in time but it does have a lifetime warranty.

I am keeping mine for sure. It wears a Timney Alpha, Holosun 507C and a Streamlight TLR-7.

It isn’t a Shadow Systems and it isn’t meant to be. It’s a toyota Hi-lux not a Lexus.

The Grit Grips build is a step up and in my view rivals factory Glock in every way and is better in ergos.
 
One thing I learned putting a couple P80's together is how good a real Glock is. lol. Some people luck out with their parts but most of both of them I had to become a master armorer (sarcasm) to get them working 100%. Lots of fiddling around. But as with any gun build they are not legos.

Back in 97 I think it was my dad bought me a S&W Sigma. .40, Glock had a lawsuit against them for copying it. Its never had an issue. Patents all expired so Glocks will now likely be like AR's. They already are.
 
I am a Glock guy. I’ve never had a problem with Glock or their triggers or their grip angles. Pretty much any striker fired pistol has a tough trigger. The initial idea behind it was to help police be able to apply pressure to the trigger without shooting a scum bag too soon. Train with them and you can be fast as many a competition shooter has proven. The grip angle is actually superior in my opinion. Keeps my hands and wrists in better alignment than others. I hear people complain about Glock grips and then hear the same people talk about revolvers and they have no problem with a banana shaped grip. As for Glock clones, I’m not a fan and won’t ever be. I’ve shot clones from daggers to high end tricked out clones that had zero parts that were made by Glock. The dagger was more reliable than the tricked out guns. Titanium springs, skeletonized slide, ultra light everything and worth around $3,000 was not anything I want any part of.
 
You guys are all funny.

All I see is JMB laughing in his grave because he designed it all and you all want to give glock credit.

The only thing glock did was injection mold a frame. Striker fired guns have been around over a hundred years.

by that logic a hi point is better because it's cheaper and works just as good. Daggers feel horrible and the triggers are worse than glocks which a pretty low bar to begin with.

I for some strange reason liked glocks years ago and had 7 at one time....then I realized how bad they were and they were all the same. I still have one. But only because why not have one when I have over 50 smiths.
 
I heard Glock is designing a striker fired, polymer, 1911 clone...
I saw that troll years ago, leme find it. It made Fudds go apoplectic!!

Do these ne Rugers come with the complimentary return for repair label? Or since it's part Glock it's not necessary?

Knowing Ruger, I somehow have to think they've rushed getting it on market without full testing.
 
I am in the "Glocks are good guns" camp. Bought my first in 1991 and still shoot it to this day.

If you can't make a Poly 80 work, then you failed home gunsmithing 101. I have close to 50k rounds total combined in all my P80s, I shoot them in matches. If mine work, then the problem isn't the P80 platform.

To me this looks like Ruger admitting they aren't the best at designing a pistol from scratch, so they have to copy a competitor :D

I have nothing against Ruger, but good for them on copying a proven winning design ;)
Maybe Sig should start making Glock clones too :D
 
I thought that was tracked down to shifting floor mats. And, why floor mats now have toggles to keep them in place on the floor.

I recall reading about one dipshit that had two mats. As I recall neither NHTSA or Toyota could duplicate.

Funny that an auxiliary item may have caused that issue. Much like the so-called ADs may be caused by improper holsters.
 
I like Glock clones. I’ve decided to streamline to Glock handguns and magazines and selling off other brand semi auto handguns/mags (with a few exceptions).

I had the mat in my Tundra shift over the base of the gas pedal while I was passing a vehicle at about 85 mph on a two lane. Stuck the pedal to the floor. I just used my toe to pry the pedal out from under the mat. I got the recall notice not long after. Toyota changed a piece of pedal linkage to raise the rear of the gas pedal. I never did the stains out of the driver's seat. ;)

Yeah. Kinda like Toyotas arbitrarily accelerating only no one could ever duplicate the issue.

WTF is the color of the moon on the planet where you live?

Toyota issued a recall of approximately 8 million vehicles to install a small metal "shim" into the accelerator pedal assembly of affected vehicles, which aimed to reduce friction and prevent the pedal from sticking in certain situations; essentially acting as a spacer to adjust the pedal's position. The sticking accelerator the shim fixed was in addition to the floor mat issue. Both were confirmed problems.
