Though there are a lot of Glock wanna be's (they all want a piece of Glock's huge professional and private market), it seems that there are a number of new designs, enabled by rapid prototyping and manufacturing that are exploiting corners of the markets, forcing existing shooters to re-think their assumption and seeking new buyers:I would say there aren't enough guns out there. Firearm designs wax and wane and I would call the period we are in now a wane. Everyone seems to be copying a handful of makers (read as Glock). Not enough makers are exploring a DA/SA striker fired gun (yes it is doable just not common) and SIG is having a half hearted attempt at a modular pistol with the P250 and P320s. Every now and then I draw up a fantasy gun design that would fit me. Blending capacity, caliber, weight and a dozen other factors. Then I look around to see if anyone has built something close to my idea. Usually I don't find anything interesting enough.
