I elected to go with the Glock 40, however due to much higher capacity (15 v. 8) and a great price on it ($700 v $1000). I just thought the Glock was the better value. Still, if the RIA 52000 would have been available, I would have gone that route. Once again the guys at RDA were great.
If you get a Remington R1 in 10mm, I want to see it. I have the Remington R1 Enhanced, and think it is way more gun than the Kimber for a lot less money. I was not impressed with the quality of the cheaper Rock Island 1911's, but it is my understanding that the double stack 10mm is a gun that is special made and of much higher quality. I looked at and fired the Glock 40. It's Ok, I thought the 20 was way better. And at that price point I can always buy an aftermarket 6.5" barrel and 22 lbs. recoil spring.
That pretty much sums up my views. So if you get the R1, I want to see it. If not, I want to get a G20. I have seen them on Buds for $592. But I think I don't mind paying the local sales tax, if it supports my favorite Gun merchant. Especially one that gives ot discounts on their training classes. I have a New Year's resolution I plan to keep and that is I want to take 3 classes you offer this year. I also want one of those fixed blade Brian knives...
Regards, Ken
