Well, I would!
I know you guys always like Glock mags. I understand. I ever have a Just Right Carbine and a TNW ASR that take Glock mags. But today I bought a new Sub2K that DIDN'T take Glock mags. Am I crazy?
No, I am not. I found a new Gen 2 9mm with the NiB finish. I liked the looks of it. They had it and a couple of blued .40 ones. The blued ones were less money, but they weren't 9mm. The longer I looked at that NiB finish the more I liked the look of it. I hate to say it but sometimes looks do matter!
Well, when I went to buy the NiB one I saw that while the other ones were all Glock one this one was not. It was for a Smith and Wesson mag. (I believe they are M&P mags now, not the old 59 series like the one I use to have). The gal asked me if I didn't want to take that it was OK but I told her no problem at all!
For many years I have owned a Beretta Storm CX-4 carbine that I love and will never part with. It takes Ber 92 mages. For $12 I convert my new Sub to Ber 92 mags...something I have a pile of, everything from 10 rounds to 30 rounders. This is a large cash savings for me.
The beauty of the non-Glock Sub is that it can take Beretta, Sig or Smith magazines with a simple $12 part swap. I love it. Sure the Glock model is great if you are stuck on that mag but in my case I could either have this rifle or I could put my name down as #13 on the waiting list for a Glock model. I have waited a long time to get a fair deal on a Gen 2 since selling my old Sub9. Today I got a 10% discount as a range member and the price was OK. Now I have, for the forth time, bought a Sub. (sold the other three and was Sub-less for too long). I do like the Gen 2, BTW and I love the look of the NiB finish. It looks...well....like a more expensive firearm.
