I'm happy with my 2 Gen3 , and Gen4 (and a quasi clone ) . IF l had a desire for something else in that neighborhood , probably a .45acp Shield .
**********************
Glock , the company , isn't making any windfall . It's the dealers and distributors who had some in stock at the time who are practicing Capitalism 101 , supply vs demand , and Willing Buyers ultimately setting the prices .
BUT , seeing the initial V Models , it's obvious it wasn't a normally thought out & developed product line roll out . It's obvious it's a hasty panic stop gap , and politically driven .
Glock managenent had free will to make decisions . But this isn't just effecting them . They're emboldening the " get rid of all guns " element , and de facto throwing the entire gun industry under the bus .
Hence * to me * , l will now treat the Glock Company , the same way l did the Hillary Era Smith & Wesson .
