How about fn drops the prices on the scars a bit so the entire shooting community can throw money at em. Im pretty sure everyone wants one just to have. That be big news for 2015.
The GLOCK 19 is like the Colt Commander: a good size compromise that can do anything from duty use to deep cover. It may not be the perfect fit for every situation, but it is a fit for every situation.
