Had the itch for a new carry piece and settled on the Glock 43X MOS. (pre cut for a red dot). Been using the local sportsman warehouse for the stock and ok pricing. Big thing is we have no state tax on firearms or ammo in West Virginia.
They have a seriously like new 43x for sale, plus a new model. I'm going to have to "detactical" the used one as the previous owner had to be a Navy SEAL or Army Ranger. Mag well nonsense and all the mags are "extended for war!" Thankfully all the OEM pieces are in the box.

Anyway, the counter bro proceeds to tell me what a POS glock is and I need to buy a sig. Which is obviously more money. SW counter guys get commission? I ask to see a Sig P365, and hes about drooling telling me about grip angles, customer service, how good I look holding the Sig (seriously). I tell him I'm buying that used 43. "Aw man your making a mistake, Sig is the best!!"
Broke his heart when I told him this glock is replacing a P365 I already own.

The P365 I just never cared for. And sig has so many P365 models now. Should have got a P320.

No cash commission for SW employees, but sig does give them “points” for selling their stuff. You can then redeem “points” for free guns. You can always tell what companies are running points because they schill extra hard on those items.

I'm with the counter guy. Four 365s in the household. 43 went down the road.

I never liked the 365 either. In fact, I went to the shop intending to buy one shortly after they came out and walked out with a Gen 5 Glock 19 instead. Some people get a brand bug of their butt and can't get rid of it. I grew out of any sort of brand loyalty a long time ago.
