Gen 6 Glock

Other brands that I think do quite well are Walther PDP Pro, Springfield Echelon, and HK VP9. I quite like aspects of their designs. Plus why are we taking it for granted the gen 6 Glocks will be reliable after the V-line debacle?
 
I’ve been liking the looks of the Roger RXM lately while Glock tries to get its life together. I think I’d get one of those before the PSA Dagger, but I don’t have first hand experience with either.

SW MP 2.0 has a lot of recs these days also.

I have to use a Glock at work, so that has kept me wanting to keep the same general type of trigger, grip angle, etc on my carry guns for now as well. But it’s definitely not the only gun in its class worth getting anymore.
 
Just picked up a Ruger RXM, and planning on adding the Magpul full-size (G17) frame module. The provided module is a G19 size.

It's supposedly a Glock Gen 3 clone (same parts) except it uses a modular fire-control unit like the Sig P320 and Springfield Echelon. And of course the frame module is designed and provided by MagPul. The optics cut is flexible, using modular recoil boss pins to create several optics footprint patterns.

So far, so good. The trigger feels exactly like a Glock.

It'll tide me over until I can get a Gen 6 COA. And I'm hopeful that is sometime before 2027 . . .
 
I think anyone would be extremely happy with full size or compact versions of the Smith & Wesson M&P 2.0, Springfield Echelon or Walther PDP. The M&P and Echelon are about the same price as a Glock and the PDP is a bit more but not that much in the grand scheme of things.

That being said, the full-size pistol that fits me best of all is the Gen 4 Glock 17. Glock must have used my hand as the model for the finger grooves on that particular model and it pains me that I sold it when somebody offered me too much money for it because they didn't like the new Gen 5.

I know Glock wouldn't do it this quickly but I was hoping the Gen 6 would be a modular chassis style and that they'd offer grip modules both with and without finger grooves. Kind of a pipedream I realize but one can always hope....

I absolutely love the M&P but have gone with Springfield Echelon for the modularity and for the way Springfield executed the optic attachment on these fine pistols. Get any optic you want and it rides low with no plates. Brilliant!
