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

poors or pours

Why not both

Caveat - I’ll probably buy a Glock in the Coyote color if it comes our way just for the hell of it.

Still cheaper to buy these new roster glocks and getting the slide milled vs paying current marketplace prices. I think it's a win

Yeah....... with the MSRP starting at $600, with local sales tax + sin tax + DROS fee, you are at the 750 range already, add a optic cut (150-200) you are approaching 900 for a neutered 43x.
Current market for off roster 43x is around 1k, with on roster 43x being available it will only get lower because supply and demand magic.

So id say if you can find a 43x MOS under 1k I would just get a 43x MOS, this 43x on roster thing is exciting but not as exciting as people making it be.

Nobody knows what it looks like or if it's optic ready or what the price will be. even turner's doesn't know.

Any updates on the Glock 43X Cali edition?

I was at Turner's earlier this week for a pickup. The manager at the counter was talking to someone asking about them. They said they don't have an exact date but would be 1h of next year, likely late Q1 or early Q2. That is purely speculation from that one manager, but Turner's tends to place the largest orders and get their stuff pretty early in terms of releases for CA products.

 

[decius_mus]

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 Can't justify paying a premium on an outdated gun with poor features when we have so many amazing guns on market

So I have no dog in this fight because I think the shield plus beats all of the rostered micros on price alone. But i'm curious what features is the 43x missing? Or like what do you mean poor features?

I don't believe anything a Turner's counter person says honestly. I've heard all kinds of misinformation.

very poor trigger, cheap plastic sights, poor ergonomics. Good utility gun for those that can't afford to spend a little more on a Walther or HK. Does seem like they're trying to play catch up with the Gen 6, which I haven't shot. Last Glock I shot was my Gen4 G19. But you do get a reliable (maybe? heard mixed things with Gen 6) functional handgun for around $500. It's not like it's a bad gun. Just not exciting.

Isn't the trigger a function of the fact that it isn't a fully cocked striker? plastic sights are a bad but I feel like they are less relevant in the age of red dots. Ideally this rostered 43x is OR but knowing Glock it's probably not lol.

Ergonomics seem to be a shooter by shooter thing. For example, I can't shoot glocks that well without constant range time because the grip angle forces me to cant my wrists forward. My wife shoots them great though, but she can't hit the broad side of a barn with my VP9s even after adjusting the grip panels.

I think Glocks are fine for what they are - specifically a reliable enough gun with absurd aftermarket support, cheap mags, and a wide knowledge base. And I don't just mean aftermarket sights and triggers and . I mean like if you need a holster for a specific use case you'll find one immediately and it'll likely be ready to ship. Or if you need OEM parts... they are widely available from places who are still willing to ship to California like Midway. This last point is a major issue for other brands even domestic ones like S&W. It took me forever to source a sear block housing for an M&P in order to cleanly remove an MD because no one would ship here. Whereas I completely refreshed my wife's G34 with OEM parts recently by ordering them all from Midway.

They aren't exciting guns. But I would argue that basically none of the polymer duty guns are exciting. They are just tools.

Don't let Andrew intimidate you with his new found NGSS (new-gun superiority syndrome). Now that he has reached HK/Walther firearms enlightenment, all other guns and the people who own them are inferior plebs.

Wow how did you get those here? Wait until I buy a SP5 next summer if/when AW ban is struck down

The forum cares. Why the hype for the equivalent of a 1998 Camry coming to roster

True, but Glock people usually like Glocks because of their simplicity and standard design; not talking about race crowd.

Kinda nice I can pick up a Gen 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 etc and know instinctively how to run it, field strip it, shoot it, reload, etc.

Sometimes when you get the basics down, everything else is flash minor upgrades (rail, optics, etc), calibers, or personal preference.

I.E:

Remington 870
Mossberg 500
M16/M4 and AR-15
S&W J, K, L, etc
Beretta 92 series
Sig P226 variants
Etc, Etc
