Okay, I have been waiting for almost 3 years for this pistol to come out on the market. I still have yet to see one in a store, only online. Has anyone else have any interest in this pistol? Or seen one, let alone even held one?
>>
Too expensive for what it is.
>>
I got to finger fuck one at SHOT last year. It didn't disappoint, but I haven't had the opportunity to shoot one.

Widely available in Europe.

I've seen many for sale in Switzerland, they look nice but I don't think I would buy one.

its a glock you fucking moron.

>>28399522
I agree, that it is a bit expensive for what it really is. A $700 price point would be much more appealing.
>>28399538
When you handled one; was it similar to any other pistol on the market?

I do want one, but like all other pistols, I would like to handle one and at least fire a mag or two through it.

for a while I was toying with the idea of a G34, but ever since I saw this I was very intrigued.
>>
>>28399522
If its not made in America or Germany I have no interest, looks like shit tbqh mi familia.
>>
They're only imported by two stores in the US.
>>
>>28399519
They picked a really shitting and shady importer to handle the U.S. distribution. This pistol should be selling like crazy, but, it's not. It's like Caracal part II. Great gun, shitty sales and distro model.
>>
>>28399832
So it's the SAO of pistols? Well, if he was a functioning adult, I guess.
>>
>>28399936
There's nothing wrong with the gun, it's amazing per everyone who has spent time shooting it, just like the Caracal. The company choose a crappy U.S. distributor who seems intent on selling fewer guns at higher margin rather than lots of guns at lower margin. Caracal, that's a whole different story of issues about a foreign company who didn't know how to sell guns in the U.S.

The swappable mag release is shit. You swap it by pressing it harder and out the other side, which is completely possible to do accidentally in a high stress situation (was demonstrated by Ian from Forgotten Weapons when he used one in a competition). That alone makes the gun garbage.

I Hasselhoffed my funstore buddy into becoming a dealer and he's been selling them quick as he can get them.

I got a standard model in black, really want to get a Speed with the fiber sights.

>>28399581
Dealer price from the importer is $699 for a standard model

>>28399979
Mine has a little lip so you can't do that. In order to remove it you must reach in the magwell and depress the lever further to remove the release

That would make sense for them to change.

>>28399519
Looks like a diamondback fs9
>>
>>28399519
I've shot one. It's terrifyingly accurate. Also gets back on target in a snap.

It's a nice gun.
>>
>>28399519

Wasnt a big fan of how big it is. The grip extends way past your hand.
It'd be way down on the list of pistols I want to buy
>>
>>28399519
a czech guy on here got one soons they came out. its snake-oil. lots of things wrong with it, and I got that feeling just from reading their "supped up" buzzword ad

I will post pics later, but basically the slide rails chip and peen from being improperly heat-treated. You would have a better bet with a Steyr M11 or whatever its called (its been a while since I looked into low bore axis pistols) but they are known for dogeshit triggers

better off buying a glock17 RTF or a gen3 G19 threaded and put a compensator on it imo

all in one, over9000 hours in paint, pic

They advertise these as having over 20k round maintenance-free, yet with just a few amount of rounds seen here, id be skeptical to say the least.
>>
>>28401961
I just wonder if the gun was maintained properly
>>
>>28402838
That's a stupid thing to say, what amount of no cleaning will eat the metal frame and cause peening?
>>
>>28401837
op here, a gen 3 g19, I already have. and Love.

maybe I should just go with a G34.

thanks for all the input everyone
