We're just killing time until somebody else buys one. We could let the thread sink down the page and out of sight, but what fun is that.

What price would you put on your life or your loved one's?

About $450 plus mags for my XD, with an additional $1000.00 or so for my AR, and an Eotech. We are a family of four with a dog, so rounded up to $1500 total, thats about $300 per.

Thats not counting all the sweat equity in actually learning how to shoot accurately, nor the vast sums of money that have been spent buying ammo to shoot.

Remember that a gun is only as good as the person running it, regardless of its purchase price, fancy advertising or percieved awesomeness. One thing that annoys me about a large percentage of gunnies is the constant whining about triggers, or an ounce of weight here or there, or all these other nitpicky things. Those things are all great and desirable, but the hard reality as I see it is if the gun is reliable and capable or putting rounds consistently into a paper plate at fighting distances, stop whining and LEARN TO SHOOT. Neither a higher purchase price not a trip to the gunsmith can change the fundamental task of learning how to shoot accurately.

Amen, brother. Well said.

I just love it when a thread gets so far from the title. I thought this was about a new gun and the experience of mature people who have already seen/shot it. It reminds me to not revisit certain threads after two pages. Most seem to deteriorate and stray from the point after that number of replies.

Cheers,

Getting back to the OP, I think Mr. Boberg may be on to something here. Obviously someone put up enough capital to build a few and that can't be done for less than 1m. There have been lots of innovative pistols like the Glock. I'm not a fan but many people are. I think mostly the people who will buy this new gun won't be traditionalists like me but I think it will do pretty well in 9mm. Not so sure about 45 because of muzzle flip but time will tell. People like different, if they didn't Glock would have gone out of business with the 17.
