Why buy a Glone? They simply fit the hand better, number one. Then, cost factor, sure. But, jump up to the Shadows, and you get a bit more features, also.

For the price, it's one of the best clones on the market, and is direct competition with the Taurus, Stoeger, and a few others. The fact that its a Glock clone makes it up gradable just like a normal Glock for less money. I have three of the Dagger slides on Polymer80 lowers, just cuz I like mine without numbers on them.

I guess what I'm saying is that if I were looking for a $400 defensive carry handgun - I'd buy a used Glock instead of a new Glock clone. I'm far from a Glock fan-boy - I always hated their triggers (I should say that I recently shot a friend's current generation G34 and the trigger on that gun was surprisingly good - but that was a first ) and I've always found them blocky and not terribly ergonomic. That said - there is no arguing that they are amongst, if not "the" most solid, reliable, safe, available guns in the world. Why would I want to buy a knockoff when I can buy the real thing slightly used for near the same price?

Again - just my 2 cents...

If it's not for you, it's not for you, you do you. I told you why it's popular, did you just want to see your opinion in text again??

I responded because my read was that you answered a different question than the one I asked... I can see why builder guns based on an 80% lower are popular - but that's not the same thing as buying a new, serial numbered, clone (which is the topic of the post). I still don't see a good reason to buy a new "g-lone" as a new, registered firearm. It doesn't make sense to me. If a new Glock was $1200 and the comparable G-lone was $400 - it would make sense - but with a $100 difference in street price... the juice just ain't worth the squeeze ( IMHO <shrug> )

Anyway - I'm done. Have a great, gun carryin' day...

I had a guy I know say the same thing about a life-like blow up doll he bought from Amazon, AFTER the fact!

Some people don't like to buy used guns...
