moron my college was cucked as hell even in 2008 when I started and I kept my rattletrap TT in my dorm room and/or car when driving at all times. Roommate even knew. If you care about carrying, you disregard stupid policy.
There's literally no reason they can't increase the capacity. It's not like it would take a complete redesign. It would be the exact same size. Why not take an additional three or four rounds if there are no downsides?
Glock would rather go bankrupt than abandon their excessively thick-walled polymer and metal magazines. Doesn't matter if every other design uses all metal mags just fine, they'll stick with it. Thus Glocks will always fail the capacity game in comparison to anything else with similar external dimensions
42 and 43 have same capacity mags, dummy. Shield Arms made the 9+1 steelies, you're thinking of 43X/48 with 10+1 (and again, shield arms bumping it to 15)
.380 doesn't quite have the stuff unless you are certain your target is skinny and wearing a t-shirt. Even WITH Underwood XD. Odds are you will need to defend yourself against a thick-skinned fatty wearing 3 layers.
One gun... if you are into Glocks... G32... physical size of a G19 but lots more horsepower.
.357 Sig. Underwood Xtreme Defenders 65gr @ 2100 fps. Creates rifle wounds that incapacitate better than slower moving regular handgun rounds. Design cuts through layers of clothing and still retains lethality when it enters soft tissue. Seen it do its stuff on pigs. I'm a believer.
It will take a human-weight pig down the same as a 5.56 does with a side chest shot. Industry? Storm? I don't know about that - you armchair people buy what you can afford and what the other armchair people tell you to. Hence the popularity of 9mm. LE departments buy based on price per round and weather low quality greenhorns can stomach the training to hit an increasing diameter qualification circle. Lehigh is out of their range.
Never did a side-by-side huh? More than you can afford and besides... you already put your cards on the mediocre 9. 9 has its place. At the range. Too bad... you 'll always wonder what I know.
The only tangible difference is the addition of a red dot slot if you're into Holomeme sights on your pistol. All the other "improvements" they made were clownshoes like adding a tiny bit more texture to the slide or backstrap.
The safety lever on any 92 can be changed to a decocker only if that's your flavour, but if you're chad enough to carry an M9 you're carrying it loaded with the safety off anyways. Trigger weight and hammer are your safeties.
Yeah, the Optic cut was the main draw, though I have a M9A3 myself. Gives you options I guess. Don't know why they had to release a whole new model instead of adding these slight tweaks to the A3.
Those subcompact single-stack glocks suck to shoot, too little space to grip and thin to the point of being uncomfortable. The only thing they have over other pocket guns is having better sights, but that isn't much of a competition as most pocket guns have dogshit sights
If I were to want something really easy to carry like that I'd just opt for an airweight snubby and call it good
The only thing the G42 needs is some decent sights. Because it's slightly larger than all the other pocket .380s it shoots like a larger gun. It has a longer barrel than these competitors as well, so you'll get more out of the same ammo between the guns. It's also easier to get back on target because it's not as snappy as the smaller pistols. If you could have a reliable 7-shot revolver that was light, easy to shoot, AND easy to reload, you'd be buying two of them. So why aren't you getting a G42? It checks all those boxes.

I'd take a pic but I'm at college right now and don't have it 🙁

smol
>Glock

Ooof hard pass.
They need to give it modern capacity like the g43. It's the same size as the p365-380 but holds significantly less.
7 rounds is more than sufficient for a self defense situation. Capacity is a meme.

>didn't grab shield plus bundles with five mags when they were $450
dumbasses
I don't need jam-o-matic trash
you're retarded, I have 1k+ through gen 1 shield and the plus, EACH, zero malfs
nobody said anything about 30SC, I got my shield plus bundle at 407$ so that 450 was AFTER s/h + FFL fee
I don't want 9mm either. 380 is enough for me.
The gen 1s were serviceable, but haven't been made in a decade.
The gen 2 shields are shit.
>jam-o-matic trash
>S&W shield

More capacity? Yes, I do need more
I need less
okay but, hear me out: G43 with 48 slide
I'd like more, but it's good enough for me. If the P365-380 was available when I bought it, and I trusted Sig, I might have got one instead.
I love mine. I shoot it better than my 43X and carry it more because it's so fucking easy to conceal
If I could only have one gun, this would be the one

cool I didn't know they made Glocks in .357 magnum maybe that is worth owning after all
what are those puny moron rounds next to the gun in your pic tho, they're obviously not .357 magnum

wow, that's impressive. rifle wounding out of a pistol caliber? it's gotta be spanking new cartridge, right? taking the industry by storm?

It's easier to make a 1911 disappear than this hunk of plastic shit. More rounds and 45 times more powerful.
I don't, but your mom does, which is why she bullies me into anal :*(
actually gay fuck I do, picrel is peak pistol
I'd say the A4 but A3 is solid too

>tfw no fucking holsters with level 3 retention that also accommodate a light
The M9a3 has been out for ages now and the best you can get are some friction fit holsters, that shit is no good for carrying a $1300 gun.
I need less
g42 is the best
>pigfat nu-BMW
lawdy I think you meant E31 is the best.
both of those have twice as many wheels as they need to be the best BMW
even their bikes are pigfat now

>striker-fired
HA HA HA HA HA
I don't really understand why .380 still exists as a common cartridge. It's probably on par with .40 in being worthless garbage.
have you considered you might just be stupid?
