I rather agree. Think some agencies and the military think it is the way to go

https://lowreadymagazine.com/en/articles/glock-generaion-6-en Have seen some stuff on that ultra reliable YouTube platform. Also some stuff clearly labeled as a joke? So which do you think is it? Can see Glock bending to pressure for a swap-able grip. Think that was one of the sticking point with the US military (manual safety as well).

No love for the G29?

What I did not see was any statement about modifications made to the trigger mechanism by user or agency. Is it a different report which stated "multiple pistols could be made to fire without manipulation of the trigger?"

Glad you found a gun that works for you. I am not a fan of open carry or of cross-draw holsters. It's you choice though.

Great! Am just curious why you are trying to keep the round count down on the P226? That is a workhorse of a firearm.

I've owned one for about 2-3 years. Have no regrets. It is quite rugged and always shoots and cycles. Trigger is "different" but easy to get used to. Good Kydex holsters can be found on Amazon for about $30 or so. I replaced the rear sight with a taller glock metal sight. I don't like how most manufacturers sight to a "combat hold". I much prefer point of aim sights. This Glock sight was not all that hard to install myself My singular complaint is that the Taurus manual warns against carrying with a round in the chamber, except for certain circumstances which they point out. Think that is all legal cya. It seems as safe and possibly safer than any other compact 9 I own.

If it works for you don't apologize for it. Its a good gun.

Personally, I would keep the grips that are on it. They are what most fellas I knew shot with on the K-22's In my experience they are more reflective of what the guns looked like back then. jmo, as always

Something to consider is that you already have a holster and extra mags which word work with a used Shield.

I love red dots, especially the 6moa ones. Good job on that 1911 it looks great. Think its the best adaption of an optic I have seen on a 1911. Well Done! Having said that I love them, no longer carry one for edc. It's not a matter of speed, but for self defense drills and carry I still like a big arse dot on the front sight. For range shooting, yes give me a dot.

Kinda like a Ferrari or Lambo capable though seldom actually used status symbols

I love it....Nice gun and optic

Last word; i find that many of the fat striker firearms are harder to conceal than a 4.25" 1911. My brother in law carried one for a couple of decades in his "agency" days. He was small of frame but knew how conceal it.

I agree with that. Was pointing out that the grip safety is part of the safety system. Not that it prevented all problems. I really dislike that some manufactures are no longer incorporating it.
