gb6491, Wow!

I wish we could do that with politicians. Just a thought, the way things are going. Sorry to change the subject but....

Wow a complete recall, with no fix, don't see that very often?

Looks like they have redesigned their line though.

Wonder how well these newer guns will be received after this huge recall???
I have never even gotten to see any of these brand of guns in person, but they interested me with their low bore axis, And being designed by a Steyr/Glock designer. Just wasn't keen on the UAE thing.

Actually some folks here have them or have shot them and spoke highly of them. I held one at our local gun show some time back and it felt good in hand.

Kind of a Glock that they made not quite so ugly. Had better asthetics, far better ergonomics.

Looked fairly decent from my angle as a devout 1911 fan.


A recall like this can't bode well for them but I hope they make it through, it's sort of like shooting ranges, lord knows we can't have too many.

Ah, ok then. Had never heard of the company and the pics didn't impress me.

Glocks ugly? Other than wimmen, nothing highly functional should ever really be viewed as ugly.
