Glocks are from Europe, so they may be designed to accommodate those "hot" rounds? What were these board members shooting?

I read somewhere that modern 9mm ammunition is actually weaker than the original 9mm parabellum used by the Germans, and that +P more accurately reflects what was used in Lugers and such. Glocks are rated for +P, and should have no issue eating +P+... but +P should be good enough from a performance perspective... I mean: how far away are you shooting at someone? And you still have the benefit of multiple rounds to shoot.

BEAUTIFUL

Same premise then... I think it's supposed to fold to the rear.

Mine flips to the rear... but it's also a gas block, so there is only one way it can go.

Why? If one doesn't have paperwork for a gun, is that a big deal? Can police really make a big deal about it?

Fixed

I have no problem with rails on pistols, but it's the location of it. Most light systems require some finger manipulation, and I'd rather keep them as far away from the muzzle as possible. Why not make a rail system which sits closer to the trigger guard?

Link at The Truth About Guns Defense Review Article New system can interface with existing upper receivers, stock options, magazines (STANAG and SR-25 .308 ones), with the simple use of pins. In short: It looks like you can have a .308 upper with scope, .308 mag-well, and your lower receiver interface (with stock), then switch to a 5.56mm upper with a change of mag-well and upper. No info on if you need to change buffer weights or anything. Thoughts?

Why does it have a Picatinny Rail so close to the muzzle?

Glock 19 or 26... I've shot the XD9, G19, the Sig P229, and even the SR-9 I ended up with a G19... never looked back. M&Ps are a close second.

It's a matter of quality. I have a Primary Arms red dot... it was a good preview for what I want in an Aimpoint T-1... When I get the T-1 through the magic group buy witchcraft, I will move the Primary Arms onto my Marlin .22lr bolt action... Then, I can give my brother's red-dot back to him.

I'm in... whats the ballpark time frame? I just wanna refine my budget a bit.

Careless driving ticket when conditions suck? Really? Someone here at Picatinny got one of those during a snow storm, the road wasn't plowed and he basically slid 300' into a bomb barrier. BS.

Haha, to each their own. The OP did ask for opinions...

They go into 1911s in that thread... they're great, but also a 100 year old design. Take that FWIW.

Did I miss a super popular gun that is as widely available and has as long of a history? The XD, S&W (from the M&P to the Sigma Series), Berreta PX series, all followed the Glock. Hell, S&W practically copied the Glock design in their first outing and had to settle out of court over it.

Glock is the standard by which all are measured... they were the first of the plastic fantastics, and are still at the top. The real question is: why pay more? I learned a lot about pistols in this thread: http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=5&f=4&t=97679 New Sigs are not as good as old Sigs, XDs don't have a good rep in the pro firearms community, S&W is good but more expensive than a Glock... HK is just highway robbery. Granted, it's your dollar to spend, but you did ask for our opinions...

Glocks are priced better than S&Ws (from what I've seen). I'm sure Frank (Old School) can chime in on his feelings about Glocks. :-)

Black...

Get a Glock... Sig is good, but heavy; HK is great, but pricey; XDs have too much going on (loaded chamber indicators, firing pin indicators, grip safeties); S&W is almost a Glock clone, just more expensive.

Marlin Model 780 with aimpoint H-1 clone...

Does the mount come come with the sight? What type of the mount?

For the price mentioned in the other thread, and as long as it is 1/3rd co-witness, I am interested and committed.

Imagine if we all paid $500 to the Second Amendment Foundation? They're our best bet for firearms rights.
