I love gun owners.
- Glock makes a pretty basic, no finger-grippy frame. Gun community b-words. Glock makes finger grooves.
- People complain that Glock isn't grippy enough. Glock makes pistol EXTRA grippy. People whine. Glock discontinues extra-grippy.
- Every other plastic-gun company makes interchangeable backstraps. "Glock - Y U No Make Backstraps?" Glock makes backstraps.
- Suddenly, the US Army wants a smooth grip. Gun owners whine, "Glock! Y U No make smoothy grippy???"
Imagine if they spent the last 20 years working on the trigger instead of all this bullspit.
Of course, in the same timespan, there have been ZERO significant changes to the grip of a 1911. No one has complained once. "Oooh, we need more finger grooves, and grippiness, and adjustable backstraps and. . . " Nothing. Now, granted the 1911 can be customized because it isn't a plastic frame. You can get fatter or grippier grip-panels. And you can change the backstrap a bit, but most 1911 buyers use their guns STOCK.
Finally, G40 isn't a 40 (but almost LOL). G45 isn't a 45. What's a DEA agent to do???
