Shadow systems vs Glock

[Garbcollector]

no experience with shadows, but they're essentially based off 3rd gens, no? i generally burn through few boxes standard 124 grn fmj with new glocks; iirc, awhile back glock cs was mentioning as much. there's also weaker 115 target ammo out there that will cause issues with tight new subcompacts in particular. an example is difference in fps specs between fed champion 115 grn compared to fed american eagle in same weight.

Yes pretty much a gen3

Don't waste your money on the glock clone right now, just go buy a couple gen III GLOCKS before it's too late if you really want glockish type guns. Shadow clones has something cooking for their california clone guns and will most likely be available even after the ban so get one then...true glocks won't be unless private party at a premium.

Can't wait to see a stock G19 going for $2k next Summer.

It will be atleast $1k.

Do you guys think Glock will make any mods to comply? Shadow systems is already working on a fix.

It would be unprecedented to see Glock lick Commifornia's boot.

Try with the lighter spring (15 lbs vs 18lbs it comes with)

Will try that next...

Not a chance.. wouldn't be surprised if the gen3 is discontinued

OP, have you considered the Springfield Echelon?

I think the OP wants a soon to be banned gun.

Yes, I am considering echelon comp when its available. Looking at the specs, Echelon would offer everything that Shadow systems is offering for less.

Am i correct?

[OLD-skool454#3]

I bought a pair of Echelon pistols because of their cold hammer forged barrels alone. The SS 416R barrel is the only thing I like about it, but I want longevity/durability over precision. Yes, the SS will have better accuracy, but for a shorter life than what I will get out of my Echelon pistols. I will never, ever shoot enough to wear a barrel out, but I will not regret my purchase.

The new Echelons look really good. Four variants to choose from too!

I agree, will wait for comp version.

I’ll say the extra for the shadow systems was well worth it for me for 2 reasons over a gen 3.

First I got shorter fingers and beefy hands so while I could still shoot the Glock well I’ll never shoot it as well as something that actually fits my hands. The adjustable back straps on the shadow systems make a big difference to me.

Second my issuing agency doesn’t like mods to carry guns. So the reduced grip, better texture, better optic mounting system, mag well are all things I like and come OEM so it’s no problem for my permit.

How come shadow systems guns are still in stock, when its super hard to find any glock. On top riflegear is marking down shadow systems prices.
