Besides already being milled, how is it any better than a stock P-01? A Cajunized P-01 is probably still cheaper and far and away better.

My apologies too and good idea. I started a related thread in the Current Events/Politics section.

That's just absolutely wrong. But hilarious

I'm tempted to grab one since they are already discontinued. They make more sense to me than the 19X/45. I am hesitant though, because this mass dump by Glock makes me wonder if something new is on the horizon.

Maybe they saw the writing on the wall. Ameriglo has always has good options that were flush or OEM profile. My favorite is Sevigny sights, which would hang WAY off the back of an MOS slide.

This gun makes absolutely no sense. Until now, “Shadow” meant no firing pin safety and by default, a better trigger. So now CZ makes a Shadow that isn’t a Shadow. The firing pin safety is not really necessary unless you carry hammer down instead of half cock, which only an idiot would do. BUT if you have to have a firing pin safety and want a decocker, the P-01 is less than half the price of this gimmick.

Did other manufacturers recently change their manuals?

Most of these I get, but a couple are headscratchers - 17L gen 5 and 49 just came out 34 is still common in the competitive world

Oil breaks down the older it gets and loses its ability to lubricate. It may even break down and begin to turn to sludge. Below are a few examples of what old oil can do to an engine. A 3000 mile interval was the standard in the old days, but newer oils can go longer (but I personally don't trust any of them past 5k or so). Guys with lab coats who never work on cars claim that their products can now protect engines for 10k or even 20k miles, but reality is that many newer cars are significantly burning oil after 70k or 80k miles and dealers shrug their shoulders when customer complain and reply that this is normal and acceptable. This didn't used to be the case. Some theorize that manufacturers planned this so they can sell new cars or expensive repair jobs. That sounds a little far-fetched; I think a more likely explanation is that the Marketing department started listening to the lab coat geeks and decided they could claim their cars now require less maintenance. If you sell your car after 50k miles, I guess it's not your concern, but if you plan to keep it a long time, oil changes are cheap insurance.

I get it, but his experiment created more questions than it answered. The repeated failure of the firing pin safety especially can’t be ignored. Either it works or it doesn’t, and his didn’t. SIG needs to explain why.

Also the MOS guns limit your choices for aftermarket rear sights, unless you are ok with the sight hanging over the back of the slide.

Been doing that since it was new? If anything will hold up to neglect, it’s an iron block Toyota four cylinder, but oil changes are cheap insurance. The engineers may tap their heels together three times before wishing their new whizbang formula will last 15k or whatever the latest claim is, but what mechanics are finding five years down the road is a lot more relevant.

This. 10k oil change intervals are more common and surprise surprise, so is unprecedented oil consumption across brands.

Right. My wife drives a RAV4 and says my 4Runner is a big SUV. A friend has a 2001 crew cab long bed F250 he calls "Hank the Tank." I think she needs to take Hank for a spin to get some perspective.
