That sucks. I understand he wants to keep it so his mags will swap, which is wise tactically speaking.

Now I just gotta make sure momma doesn't find the money or I gotta look around and maybe pull the trigger elsewhere

I thought I was told by an ISP Sgt there was another issue besides the mags. Oh well, either way, my point is that fielding an untested firearm is always a gamble. BTW, I like shooting the 227.

That is true about fielding an untested weapon!

Dang. If the issue is just the little coil spring, hopefully its a quick fix. I would think they could either fit the old style leaf spring back in or a newer version of coil spring with a stiffer spring rate (larger wire diameter). Glad they found the problem now.
Kinda sucks for me I have a deal worked out to buy a G27 from a friend (his off duty gun) after he is issued the new g17m. I'm not exactly in a rush to get the deal done. I just don't know how long before my wife realizes I have cash set aside for another gun.

To me a leaf spring has a lot more robustness to it than a coil spring. Plus if small gravel gets I there it could make the coil not compress. The same could be said for a leaf but there would not be an area for captivity of the debris.

So they are back and have started hitting the streets for some field testing. I was told that SWAT has recieved them for field testing since they shoot monthly, and if all goes well the rest of the dept will get them in the fall. I had the opportunity to fondle one last night and I liked it. If it were available to the public I would buy one...even if it is 9mm

My understanding was they are no longer related, Kieslers sold the retail portion years ago.

Yes they are separate!

Look how much cooler Riggs Beretta looks than any Glock ever.

Look how much cooler Briggs Beretta looks than any Glock ever.

i was just going to say what's the big deal since it looks pretty much like any other Glock I've ever seen.
