The functions of handguns like SIG, HK, etc. for the price of a Glock.

A high capacity (16+1), quality, double action firearm that you can beat to shit and abuse for around $450 is what every man needs.

isnt this the same pistol they marketed under the browning name? either way i like it just from looking at it. CMMG was talking bout it last year, gave up asking bout it since it never seemed to materialize so i could look and hold one. might have to start checking back into it now.

Everything was fine until you got to the part about the magazine disconnect.  Unless it can be easily removed (ala BHP), then this gun is a NO-GO.

I believe I read somewhere on here or maybe the 5.7 forum that yes the disconnect can be easily removed but doing so will VOID your warranty.
