You can buy 10 FCG's.Never understood that concept outside the army. So, if you have 1 FCG and 3 frames, and you have to send the FCG in for repair, you’re short 3 pistols because you needed to save $300. I’ll just stick with my gen 3 and 4.
In an industry that's increasingly about individual accessorization, it might help to think about it like an AR lower. It's not that one firearm can be three but that you can Lego build a dozen "different" pistols in one platform, using accessories from everyone in the marketl, and keep changing them to suit your whims.Never understood that concept outside the army.

A FCG is so small, though. You can buy a bunch and hide them. You can't hide a Glock frame because it's big. Then if you need a new gun, take the FCG out of hiding and easily buy a new frame.The same goes for complete guns, no? I can just have them and use them for different purposes without screwing with the fcg every time I want a different size. Worked for me for decades.
Indeed. Like buying AR lowers and hiding them all over the place. If you're AR gets taken, find one of your hidden lowers and build it up. Of course, in Mass you'll have to register it once complete.In an industry that's increasingly about individual accessorization, it might help to think about it like an AR lower.

It's trolling, and it's tired.What is it with you and hiding shit?
I'd break her hips.I can picture the board meeting in Wagram...
Wilhelm: "I have this American friend who really wants the next gen Glock to have a FCG so he can buy a whole four of them (think of our profits!!!) and hide them so he can talk about it online. Oh, and did I mention that he's a professional Ruckus racer and has a super hot girlfriend who's a model?"
Kathrin Glock: starts touching herself at the thought of such a stud.
The deal is FCG's aren't like AR lowers, they're like AR drop in triggers. I need a different size frame pistol just about as much as I need a different AR lower, which outside of a PCC build that uses different mags is almost never.Indeed.

Yes, but parts are easy to get.The deal is FCG's aren't like AR lowers, they're like AR drop in triggers. I need a different size frame pistol just about as much as I need a different AR lower, which outside of a PCC build that uses different mags is almost never.
I own two sizes of of Glock frames: duty and subcompact and I can live without the subcompact because I can get a Sig 365, Ruger Maxx, Springfield Hellcat, S&W Whateverthefukk, or Taurus GX4 instead.
These Gen 6 FCG's going to be compatible between 9 and .45 frames? No, then fukk it. If they are then... meh.
You want to know what Glock should do? A value version of the Glock called the Block that's $400 or less new, no slide cuts, no finger grooves, one mag, and the ads for it can be like those old R. Lee commercials and at the end of it when they've got the gun pointed at the perp everyone can say, "YOU JUST GOT GLOCK BLOCKED!"
That's it. It definitely wasn't a designer with a user story that looks like this:I can picture the board meeting in Wagram...

Guy buys an AR, then replaces all the stock furniture and makes other upgrades to suit his taste. Soon, he buys a 20" carry handle upper because it looks cool, and another in 458 because SOCOM. Eventually, swapping uppers feels dumb, so he buys a three pack of stripped lowers [...] a third safe for his 42 rifles.
Let's make that, but in a pistol.
After he’s done building one around the FCG he attempts to sell it on NES for every dime he has in it plus 20% because he knows what he’s got. It’s the Massachusetts way!!!That's it. It definitely wasn't a designer with a user story that looks like this:

Like the Ruger that is like 330 dollars right now with FCG, night sights and ANY optic ready and pistol frames that will be 30 dollars from Magpul. All made in USA.It will have a modular trigger that will be able to accommodate different frames.
Like Sig.
I heard this from my Glock insider who shall remain anonymous and this rumor is now going mainstream.
You act like FCG's are a new thing because Glock may come out with them?Yes, but parts are easy to get.
Doing a 4473 for a serialized part is tough if you are in a bind.
Get all your FCG's now and you wont ever have to worry about having a gun.
Sure, you might have to buy a new frame but they will be easy to gets since frames like that are not serialized.
It's a form of redundancy.
Just like having extra AR lowers squirreled away.
It might one day be tough to get a complete AR. But, if you have a lower, you can buy the rest of the parts a build at your leisure.
And, that of course came to fruition here in Massachusetts with the new law.
People who stocked up on lowers are golden. Lowers are impossible to get now but the other AR parts are readily available.
The same goes for complete guns, no? I can just have them and use them for different purposes without screwing with the fcg every time I want a different size. Worked for me for decades.
