    Definitely looks good. Hell of a wait, but I'm sure it's worth the 100%. Just getting my S&W PC done for now. Wanted to get my 17 done as well, but I'm still not sure I want to keep the 17. Might just trade it in for a 19 and then get on the waiting list for that one.

    Yes the wait is crazy - I waited 8 months. I'm thinking of being put on the list now for a future job just in case.

    I'm at 8 months too. Deposit was put in in very late November/early December. I don't even remember.

    Thought about it. I just don't like the long grip on the 17..barrel length is immaculate. Shoots so well.

    5B does the grip chop so you can convert the 17 to use G19 mags. Keep the ling slide and shorten the grip. Basically the opposite of a G19X. It doesn't look too hard to do on your own if you've got the stones for it. Still make me nervous every time I take a dremel to one of my pistols.

    Does a Roland Special actually shoot $2300 better than a stock one?

    No way I can EVER justify almost $3000 for a Glock

    I think I’m in the minority here but I can’t stand a stippled grip...

    And as an avid buyer and seller...and now a reseller of pistols...I refuse to buy a stippled/undercut/shaved Glock

    That was something I inquired about initially but decided to hold off as I wasn't sure what I was gonna do with the 17. Thinking I might trade it in, swap the sights over to a 19 and call it done.

    Shall see.

    super duper aint mine, but if it lives up to the hype ill want one. haha

    Ive actually never fired a pistol w/ an electronic sight so that alone will be cool to play with

    Told the dude to justify the $2500 and the fancy top slide milling he has to use every random object he can find to rack the slide
