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

I mean it's fine. I actually just bought a PDP just because I wanted a new gun. But It doesn't do anything that an Echelon, VP9, M&P 2.0, G19, M18, or any other polymer framed striker doesn't do. They have all essentially achieved the same level of reliability too and they all come optics cut now.

The rostered PDPs are extra annoying actually because they don't support Walther's DPT unless you remove the MD. Walther denies warranty if you remove it too because you're technically modifying the frame. It's also a pain in the ass to do it because Walther chose the most asinine way to implement it. I'm actually ordering the plug right now lol.

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.
You are not required to read those threads, just tske your 💩 attitude and kick rocks?? I hope you have a better day and that you get a hug...... when all the glocks got banned it is a huge deal to have something to buy thats reasonable..

The only reason for you to complain is you bought up a bunch of gen 3s and this annoubcement has stifled your sales... risk reward, again, the crying and whining and holier than though attitude is akin to witnessing a karen do their thing... just leave it be, if you dont have anything nice to say....

no details revealed , from the SKU, it seems like it is likely the basic one without MOS optic cut.

And we still don't see it's CLI design cuz the regular G43X only has LCI but doesn't have CLI.

I'm somewhat interested in the mag disconnector design of this G43X; with lots of the polymer frame/striker-fired pistols added to the handgun roster since the very first P320CA, shouldn't be that difficult for Glock to make one(Same for CA legal CZ P-10C OR)

$599.99, well...it is just fine.
The market dictates the production. Everyone and their Mother demand optic ready firearms. My guess is it will be equipped with moss optics cut.
 
I think what people are missing is that Glock, a long stalwart of saying “we won’t change for civilian customers” (I.e. California) has now created a handgun that adapts to the crazy laws that are politicians passed. I won’t say I agree with those laws, but I’m very thankful that they have made this adaptation. And I think the 43X is an absolutely perfect platform to do it in. It was originally only a 10 round gun, so magazines are no problem.

I do hope they incorporate the new six generation trigger, if only for the flat face of it. That alone would get me interested.

And there’s one thing I cannot take away from Glock, they just freaking work… There are a lot of other guns that have a very solid reputation, like HK, but there are very few that are in the league that HK and Glocks are in.
 
Had they been out at the same time the P365 came to CA, I probably would have gotten the Glock. I had a lot of experience with Glocks and classic DA/SA Sigs but none with the P365. Enjoying the P365 but need to get to 5,000-10,000 round count like I have with the other platforms before I can make a definitive statement.

They would still be selling Gen 3s if California wouldn’t have pulled this obvious unconstitutional bs. Yes, the roster itself is bs also.

Don’t fault them, that’s a lot of money left on the table to just cut off all sales to California.

Aren't all plastic pistol mediocre in the minds of some? Glock fanboys are like any other fanboy, happy to see something (anything) new for us stuck in California.

On a side note, I did hear the new G43X (California model) has a small pic of Kathern Glock CEO on the inside of the magwell just to piss off Gavin.

Sexy AF is not on my list for a heavy use or carry gun.
I equate my guns to like living on a working farm, a model “might” be beautiful, but her anorexic 95 lbs ass ain’t gonna shovel cow 💩 worth a damn and all she’ll do is complain about the smell and being nothing but high maintenance.

Now, give me a robust country girl and she’ll work dawn to dusk and still put supper on the table without complaint.
