Yeah...OK......best selling gun known to man and the most modular and most parts availability and cross compatability.....GMAFB. Every one Ive bought has run out of the box without a FTF or bobble ever.

I think they are seeing mega competition with their patent running out in the Gen 3 space......

I mean i just built a 19 with an SCT frame and dagger upper with RMR cut and threaded barrel, and all sorts of slide cuts, steel guide rod, and steel suppressor height sights (not night) for 275 dollars.

Thing runs like a top...and is pretty cool looking. They are still trying to sell their G19 Gen 3 for 500 dollars. Who would buy it?

Even a Gen 5 19 MOS at $620? Why other than maybe resale value? Got Ruger out there for $350 with steel night sight on it, and Dagger Franken gun mix ups way cheaper that run.

They were slow to innovate....and now they need to streamline. They are popular...but their competition is offering more for the money at a lower price.
