I’ve shot them several times.

Ya but that's like saying you really know someone because you worked with them a couple of years.

But that’s like saying you have to marry someone to really know them. Sometimes a little seat time shows incompatibility.

All in it cost me about 450.00. Granted if I put a fancy slide and barrel it would have been a lot more.

I’ve never met a Glock worth marrying the test drives leave me unsatisfied.

To each their own. If it came in 6.5 Grendel would that change your mind? :twisted:

Took me like an hour to do it. Depending on if you are perfectionist it's one big screw-up but knowing it will not look uniform I would say there is maybe two or 3 places I made a mark where I didn't really want to.
