Lols at this thread. There have been a few zillion internet posts clamoring for a Glock single stack. And now that it's on the way, this thread is nothing but complaints.
I must be the odd duck. I never cared for a CC single stack 9mm Glock, one way or the other. There were lots of other options in that niche - if I wanted one that bad. I never did.
Now that I can get a Glock, I will probably pull the trigger.
Can't imagine why anyone would consider it with the PPS available.
I have shot the PPS, and I like it a lot. Honestly, my dislikes of the PPS are all minor nitpicking. The more I think about it, the more I have to face the realization that I'm a "Glock guy."
Well, there is a little more to it. I expect LWD and other Glock distributors to have every spare part, both factory and third party stuff, for dirt cheap in a matter of a few years, and to have continued parts and service support until at least the year 3000. And there's the little matter of being able to detail strip a Glock in about 30 seconds with a toothpick.
Except Glock is priced right in the middle of the pack, and must cheaper than some of their competition... and they are certainly very durable and cheap to maintain. And unlike Apple, they don't come out with a new model every year... Hello PPQ XYZ, MP safety, MP no safety, FNP/X/S, Sigma/EV, etc. I like they make and support the same crap for decades, making spare parts readily available to any Joe Schmoe, rather than having to deal with a certified service agent or customer support. Trying to buy spare parts for some of my other
modern firearms is a headache or even impossible. And trying to detail strip some of my modern firearms is nigh impossible. I have to admit, there are a few I have given up ever learning. And there are others I have succeeded, but I will never be able to do again without watching a video and spending two hours. I can find and buy the right parts and work on a Glock, blindfolded. No roll pins, no jigsaw puzzles, no jigs to hold springs, no special tools, and no swear words taking it apart or putting it back together.
