Nice find. I too someday would like to get a gen 2 to go with my Sub 2k. I really like the improvements they did with the gen 2. Still waiting myself to look at one in person.

View Quote That's been my holdup too. I was pretty sure I wanted it but wasn't going to buy one without actually handling one. Seems to be a little cleaner all around than my older gun. I like most of the changes if not all. New pic rails are nice. There is a little play but I am tempted to throw a red dot on there and see if it will hold zero. The new latch is easier to use and it latches to the forend instead of the front sight. Front sight frame is all metal and feels solid. Trigger still sucks. This gun may actually get me out to the range |

Which caliber? Looks like the Glock mag version
I really like the gen one .40 since I shoot a lot of that caliber and have a shit ton of mags for it. I'm #1 on the list at my lgs for a gen 2 in 9mm, which I can't wait to shoot suppressed. |

Did they use a different polymer on the gen 2 guns? It looks different in the pictures.

The 19 grip on the Sub2k was more like a Glock 26 feel. Def go with the 17 grip. |

One of the reasons I like the TLR is its mounting system allows you to crank it down on just about any rail. Since I haven't played much with the M3s I can't say for sure. |

Sounds like the options haven't changed. As far as ordering the non Glock models I warn that you better be patient. As hard as the Glock models are to find the sig/beretta etc models are like unicorns View Quote That's been my experience, mostly G17 versions, then G19s, sometimes the S&W version but have yet to actually see a Beretta or Sig version available. Wish I'd known it was just a matter of changing the mag catch as I'd been looking for a Beretta or Sig 9mm for years. The rails on the gen II has me interested again, most options for mounting optics on a gen I aren't great, the ones that are, are expensive. And agreed on the G19 grip version, while I can easily get all my fingers on my G19 there's nowhere to put my pinky finger on the grip of a G19 KT. |
