Why?

I wonder if they are getting the frames from Polymer 80. They sure do look similar in shape. And I have to agree that there are plenty of Glock clones out there already. I also agree that $750 is a bit much especially considering that the PSA Dagger (Gen 3 clone) ranges from $299 to $419 for a complete pistol.

Because if you are a BCA fanboi, you will have to have one.

I’ll take, who is BCA for 100 Alex?

The answer: Who is Bear Creek Arsenal?

Bear Creek Arsenal - a company known for low cost AR parts and accessories with hit or miss quality.

Yes I know a lot of people have had good luck with cheap BCA AR uppers, but there are a lot of people that have gotten junk from them too. Though I will say that there has been les problems with their centerfire AR uppers than with their rimfire AR uppers. They shipped out who knows how many 22lr uppers with a bad extractor groove cut too deeply that was causing case ruptures. They were also sending out replacements that had the same issue.

Pretty sure this is an all metal pistol made in house at BCA. I am kind of a BCA fanboi but won't be buying one of these pistols.

Yes you are correct, the frame is made out of aluminum.I just now went to the BCA website to look up the info. So basically it is a Gen 3 frame that uses an ambi mag release. I still feel that it is overpriced at $750 when the Armscor STK100 with aluminum frame has a MSRP of $499

Har har, but BCS would be more like $45.

Thanks to this thread, I'd never heard of "BCA" before and I've posted a link for anybody and me, should I ever refer to this thread again. BTW, I've been satisfied with Glock-brand handguns for several years (even decades).

I wont be buying one but does it take Glock Mags?

Id be interested in a stripped frame, to stuff full of actual Glock innards.

Knowing BCA.. it will be $750, but fan bois will get a 1 time discount code for 50% off and free shipping!

lol! I own 5 or 8 BCA Upper! it’s good stuff. And was VERY cheap

As much as I dislike the look of that, I'd still take it over a revolver if forced to choose. (Leaving potential resale and/or value out of it)

What’s that saying ..? Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

Innovation is harder than it looks.

I mentioned in another thread that maybe some gun manufacturers are getting ahead of the looming cutbacks in oil production worldwide and the inevitable shortages of the raw materials to make polymer(s).

You wrote BCA, I read BCM.

Certainly a difference in quality.

But, yes, everyone needs to be making a Glock clone these days, it’s what the cool kids are doing (even if places like Wilson seem to be shifting focus to Sig).

SIG has it figured out with the Fire Control Group; Wilson can simply make a custom poly gripframe, without the need to make the mechanical bits. Gray Guns has done the same with alloy frames..
SIG must have a patent on the FCG concept, as I don't see anyone else following suit.

Got to love the bca hatters !They would not put it out if it would not sell .Side note bca makes most of the barrel blanks and parts for other companies just like anderson !
