Downsides to CA M18?

[Elysium]

Thanks for the tips. I'll look into it. Either buying the slide off EBay or buying the kit or any of the other choices.

I got time to look and wait for deals.

Scratch, if eBay is too sketchy. The folks at AB Prototype are legit. They used to be in San Diego until legislation got tough.

Good luck with search.

After tax in dros it's over $900 at my LGS. Hard pass

I got mine for approximately $818 OTD at Bass Pro Shop in San Jose. They have a bunch in stock right now.

no downside.

Can be found pretty easily under $700
Optic ready
Modular
Manual safety is easily removed if not desired
Magazine disconnect is easily removed if not desired.

Looking good. How does it shoot? I quite like the P320.

Ran flawless. 5 ft, 10 ft, 15 ft

I ended up canceling the order. I think I would rather spend the money on ammo than yet another 9mm.

Lots of M18 - CA versions flowing into the state. There will be some good deals in the CG marketplace for lightly users ones and big sales at big box stores once the initial wave dies down.

Biggest downside is it?s a sig p320.

No doubt. It's super cool to see a modern handgun get added to the roster, but yeah lol.

Do you mean yards and not feet? 5 ft distance is super close, and 15 ft is only 5 yards, which I would consider close.

^^^yeah, terrible groupings if only feet away.

Downsides of the CA320:
Single shot, which may not qualify as your ccw apparently according to some
Spending extra time/money at a pawnshop to register the gun as semi-auto
NO MAGAZINES
Potential resale value loss(?)

because of these reasons, I decided to go with the M18. Mainly because of the mags. When considering the costs between both, consider that you'll be down 3 costly original factory mags when getting the CA320, plus a new grip module if you want to seriously shoot it. So it'll end up costing more than you think.

The upgraded trigger and better optic mount is a nice touch, but you can always change triggers anyway.... same with the slide on the m18, or go with a red dot that has an integrated rear sight. Or so I hear.

Thanks sumdood. I?ll work on it.

Glad to place my targets out there in public. But everyone on Calguns is Jerry Miculek all of a sudden.

i forgot about the whole magazine thing when deciding between the ca320 vs m18.

It is true that the m8 w/ the 3 mags means it is already $120 ahead of the ca320 then add in the module that is another $60-$80 saved. So overall a $180-$200 discount vs ca320.

That is pretty significant.
