As of now, .40S&W is the only option at this time. The word on the street is, the 9mm will be the next to come. I think it's going to be around the first of 2009.

The "M" site is nice and flashy but it does not go into much detail. It is nice though.
I'm just glad to be shooting one. I may be carrying this gun before long.

I saw the same one I think. He did make it look easy but it was probably made to look that way. I think people who work on pistols a lot are going to laugh at us but it is really harder than it looks.

Couldn't agree more! I wanted to change the backstrap to a #1 as I have smaller hands, but I'm going to have to go out and buy a tool to do so.

It should have been included.

There has to be another type of pin we could put back in its place. One that is easier to remove. One of you guys who "tinker" more that us would know. Let us know guys.

He also never inserted or withdrew a pin, I believe. If it is the same video that I was looking at, on I believe guntalk.

Yea, that's what I was getting at. The purpose of the video was to make everything look so neat and easy. He swapped the backstraps in just a few seconds, but never mentioned the fact that a tool would be needed in the real world.

Yes, I think the video was on Guntalk.

Turn on GUN TALK. I just asked the question. Maybe someone will call in with an idea.

I just used a regular punch to change mine. I would rather it be solid, since most people will change it only once.

Yeah what a bunch of whiners, how often do you plan to change it after the first week?
