I may give it a whirl when the price regulates to the standard glock $499 mark, till then I'll be toteing the shield. Good grief, what are they charging? I thought it was supposed to have a MSRP of $399. The shop I went to was charging $599+ tax.

AT GT Dist in Austin, they were selling to LE for $310, I would have bought a couple if I could get that price...

GT had em for $319 for LE and $399 without the Glock LE discount. So I sold 2 Sig 238s and bought 3 and still have change...
I'd have one for every room in the house and each car if I could.

Only had time yesterday to put 250 rounds down range. I shot PPU, Rem FMJ and Hornady defense ammo and all worked fine. It is a soft shooting little guy thats for sure,I'd compare it to shooting a 22 in fact. I guess with the gen 4 spring and it being a 380 makes this thing so soft. It was dead on with the factory sights and had no issue at the 25 yard mark. It being such a soft shooter gives me hope that when they do put out the nine it wont have the snap like my shield or solo 9mm. It is a joy to shoot thus far and I will shoot this gun for fun, unlike the LCP and some of the other "pocket" guns that I do not like to shoot. The battle over 9 vs 380 will always continue, but if I have to shoot it at a person I have no doubt that I'd be able to hit center mass without any worry. My wife will shoot hers this weekend and we shall see what she thinks. She has issues with small guns that kick too much and dropped  my solo on the ground as it snapped out of her hands when she shot it. I guess if this one is too much for her I'll get her a rubber band gun and be done with it.

Thanks for the link KRoyal No problem. Yea some of that link is just dumb, but at least they do say they are coming out with a 9/40 single stack. I hope it is the same ol Glock, but who knows. If they have a single stack .45 (G36) you would think it would be childs play for them to come out with a 9/40 single stack slim line. I hope you guys aren't taking anything said in that link seriously, it is a satire piece... Even says so up in the left hand corner. Too bad, really. ..it sounded to me like they were going to compete in the 1911 market!

Just seen one in the classifieds. 650$ 
If you are able to remember stupid stuff the next day, your doing it wrong.
At least anything worthy of mentioning.
