they have many issues, the cheapest glock clone i'd get is an rxm
this dropped a few hours after my post, probably the first honest (read: non-advertorial) dagger review i've seen
he ran the piece for a few thousand rounds too, the average service life for a subcompact is less than 50 rounds
low end manufacturers like psa/taurus know this and figure beta testing on their customers/handling warranty returns is cheaper than exercising quality control, sourcing prime materials, or paying their assemblers a living wage so they put some pride into their work instead of hating their jobs
This Glock and clone deal is getting out of hand. Here's what I don't get: why is a gen 3 g19 still ~$500? And why is an MOS Glock an extra damn near $200? What makes Glock think that optics cuts are worth 150 fukkin dollars from the factory?
a used G19 should be the price of a new G2C
you're looking at it from a tooling and materials standpoint when, like toyota/honda, the value prop comes from branding/support/reliability, even beyond that of gucci clones
btw an optics cut even from an inexpensive upstart like wager machine can run up to $170... mos is trash anyway, idk anyone who goes for that system unless it's a work gun which is forced upon them
Just get a Canik, they are cheaper than Glocks with nearly identical performance. Only advantage a Glock clearly has over a Canik is customization.
it's cheaper cause it's made with inferior polymer and (more) mim/cast parts, using turkish labor instead of austrian/american, there's no r&d costs cause it's a copy of the walther p99, and century arms takes advantage of the lira perpetually circling the drain
Nahh get a Hi-Point C9 and learn to gunsmith
you can't improve on perfection
