It must have had about 3,000 DA pulls and 1,000 SA pulls before it started feeling really sweet. My new P-09C Noct (always wanted a P-07) required considerably less but it still needed some parts mating to get there. I have never tried a CGW parts kits so I wouldn't know if they are much better than stock legacy or the Omega system. But I think the original is better than the Omega; although more complicated and less versatile.

    One thing I haven't seen a lot of people mention about the RXM is that the locking block now bears on the steel LCA instead of the polymer frame, improving lockup and feel. This is why Glock added the 3rd pin.

    I mean, the 49 will surely be a reliable gun like its sisters, but many manufacturers already sell compact frame 9mm with a longer slide, yet Glock is the only one capable of giving it to the public as a whole new model. They have some formidable marketing capabilities, truly the Apple Inc. of the gun world.

    The Hungarian Defence Forces and the Hungarian Police have officially adopted the CZ P-09 and CZ P-07 in 2017 with partial local manufacturing. After 7 years of experience, I can tell that they are solid handguns but with many flaws, some making them inadequate for a service / duty handgun.
    The guns have QC issues, even those that are made in the Czech Republic. Rusting happens a lot, even straight out of the factory. The quality of the finish varies a lot from batch to batch.
    The biggest reliability concern is the firing pin retaining pin breaking often, sometimes after as little as few hundred rounds. These lock-up the gun completely. The firing pins themselves break a lot too, equally bad. The slide stop can also tends to break but at least this usually doesn't make the gun inoperable.
    CZ SP-01 Shadows and CZ Shadow 2s are the most popular in Hungary for sport shooting which is fair, they have a solid price and shoot really well but the same problems appear with these guns as well which leads me to believe that this is an inherent issue of the CZ75 design.
    Apart from QC / reliability problems, another well-documented user feedback is the slide itself being too small for duty use. As the slide rides inside the frame, the surface for gripping it is just too small with the serrations being insufficient. Under stress, especially in gloves, racking the gun can be very difficult. Hungarian law-enforcement SOP dictates Condition 3 carry (I know, it's stupid) so this enlarges said problem even more. Obviously, this can be improved with proper training but everybody knows how much training LEOs get so it's just wishful thinking.
    That being said, I love the P-09. As a sport shooter, I shot it for over a year, won some matches with it and I find the gun great to shoot, I like how it sits in my hand, I like how balanced it is, I could find ways to work around the ergonomics and I like the trigger too. But I wouldn't trust my life on the CZ P-09. The CZ P10 is a better, more reliable handgun without question. However, I really appreciate CZ sticking to the severely ignored DA/SA market and updating the design with the new Nocturne. I hope that with this facelift, they fixed some of these problems I presented and I look forward to trying it as soon as I can get my hands on one.

      It’s early, but it’s solid. Have really liked how it performed at the range so far. Was already shooting tighter groups than with my 45 that I e had for years(Only about 350 rounds). Easiest dot mounting I’ve ever done but do pay attention to the right side screw length. (I knew that going in and I haven’t had extraction issues). I def prefer this grip angle to the Glock, dot is always right there when I draw. Trigger is def like a Glock but I’d say smoother. I’d take a mushy feel over the random multiple janky walls. Fits my Glock holsters. Texture on the grip is better than a Glock and def in that Goldilocks range for shooting and carry comfort. Mag release, even though it’s gen 3, easier to manipulate than a gen 3 Glock.
      If they build out the ecosystem with the chassis and it holds up over more rounds, it will be by far the most gun for the money I’ve bought. $405 out the

I’m a Ruger fanboy who’s always wanted a Glock I just never got one bc I would always get something else bc i nvr liked they way they shoot. I went right out to my local shop and they were one of the few places that had em. They knew about it too bc they went to Ruger a while back and met some people apparently from what they told me while I was doing my paperwork. I love this thing. It feels good in the hand and shoots damn good. Still getting used to it bc I mainly carry a P95. I got more modern shit I just like the pseries pistols. Happy new year brother 🎊

    Correction at 11:13 . If you own any Glock then you essentially own every Glock ever made because it's the same exact pistol that they still manage to sucker you Glock Fan boys into buying over and over and over and over again by simply making the most miniscule changes.... and then at Glock HQ they fondle themselves whilst laughing and laying on the pile of money they've scammed you out of every year 😂

On the other hand I do love safeties, especially ones that let me rack with safety on. Trigger discipline can fall prey to fear under stress while racking, or fall prey to nonchalance.

      Is this similar to the Shield Plus loading issue? I needed to grind some material off of the rear of the 13 rd mag followers to form a better angle for the spring to not get bound up. It took just a few minutes, but after that I could get all 13 loaded. I'm interested in the BG 2.0 for more pocketable size, but I may wait for it to be fine tuned a bit.

    • @wasatchdan

      Get a Maglula loader and it'll load the last rounds easy. After a couple of months the springs work themselves in and you can load the mags with just your thumb. Same goes for the Shield Plus mags. Better the springs to be too strong at first than not strong enough in the long run.

However, the more I see the RXM the more I like about it. that Mag-Pull lower is really well thought-out, and that price is alarmingly reasonable.
