CA legal(on the roster) Glock G4 3X pre-order(Turner's outdoorsman) $599.99

Yes the forum does care about it as you can see people are excited about it. My point is why do you care that people are excited about it? Just don't buy one.
People are free to ask questions and wonder things. Trying to stifle sharing of info and ideas is pretty weird and cringe
 
This is why we can’t have nice things in CA. When we dont get new guns added to the roster, you complain about it. Now that a new gun is added, you complain about it.

Yes, Glock is not for everyone. If you think MSRP $600 is overpriced or the safety features are rash, no one is forcing you to buy it. Stfu and move on.

As a 2A community in CA, this should be seen as a win for us. Y’all are being salty coz Glock fan boys are getting the gun they want.

So true! We get the 43X and now the "G4 3X". Who care's if there's a million threads posting the same thing?!

Completely missing the point. No one is complaining about a new gun going on the roster. We’re complaining that Glock fanboys are blowing the internet up over what objectively is a mediocre plastic pistol. You wanna buy a cheap 💩ty pistol then fine, we don’t need ten threads about it like its the second coming of Jesus.
 
Who really cares. Gun is not even that nice at all. Its a glock.
Agreed. The 43 is one of the oldest microcompact designs and still uses an obsolete "slimline" single-stack magazine. It's not competitive at all compared to the 365, Shield X, Hellcat, etc... Just Glock trying to peddle their old AF design on desperate Californians.

The only significance of Glock getting a 43 on the roster is that they should be able to get a Gen 6 on the roster. I'll give a 💩 when I see a Gen 6 19, 17, or 45 on the roster. Otherwise, I couldn't give a F- about an obsolete pistol like the 43 that was surpassed years ago by other gun makers.

We have practically 0 information about what the Glock situation will be. For all we know the entire lineup will be available wit mandated compliance features, optic ready, even in coyote color scheme. People getting all hyperbolic about pointless speculation.

Yeah he’s deliberately misinterpreting what people are saying so he can be a Glock owner victim lol. Zero people said it’s bad more guns are added to the roster. Just making up imaginary problems

Here’s a tip, if you see a thread that has 43x written on the title… don’t click it! Why do you keep reading the threads?!

Here’s a better idea, start a private forum/website exclusive for non Glock owners.
 
This is great for people to get their hands on Glocks flagship micro compact. But people will soon realize that it isn't the best option for a pistol in that class, especially if your coming from shooting and owning guns like the x-macro, shield x, guns that are meant to be shooters and not just a novelty carry pistol that is hard to shoot straight and more than often needs training or optics/better sights to be proficient. The 43/43x feels great in the hand, the weight, the size and the bore axis etc...but other guns shoot so much better IMO. Don't get me wrong I love Glock and the 43x and placed my pre-order but its not the holy grail!
 
I'll be laughing my @$$ off when it turns out the CA-compliant 43 isn't optic-ready and doesn't have an accessory rail. That will be so insulting.

I wouldn't pay more than $400 lol. They're $434 online.... also $712 with tax for me based off $600 new price. Can't justify paying a premium on an outdated gun with poor features when we have so many amazing guns on market

I truly do not understand the hype around this piece of 💩. Reddit and here blowing up about it. It’s a $500 Glock with no features. Why even buy this thing over the 100 other options with more features at similar price points?


Can I ask what you’d go for instead? No judgement, just genuinely curious.
