Anyhoo - for that dosh I'd have personally opted for a Barret bull-pup instead
...for affordable 9mm I'd hunt out a Armalon bolt-action job - not quite as quick as the SGC, but quite fast if ya know what ya doing....
I went off at a tangent with the SRS reference, but used it to make a comparison between the service, or lack thereof, I received from Bob compared to Ewan. Different ends of the scale.
I have an Armalon PC rifle in 45acp with match trigger, cock on opening, extended mag release, etc and it gets far more use than my lever release. Who is the better engineer in my opinion, Peter Sarony or Bob? I don't even need to pause for a nano second to answer that one.

Ooh - a PROPER calibre!!
NICE - I imagine it's the bees knees with 185gn bullets....
Maybe one day if funds & SWMBO allow I will add one to the safe

Happy 9mm SGC owner here - received in August 2012 and has been running very reliably. No problems with feeding from new.
Only use PPU 115gr FMJ with it, as they're reasonably easy to get hold of and shoot well.
I did have an initial problem with the accuracy (would only make 6" groups bench-rested at 25m), but this was diagnosed as being a problem with the crowning. Contacted SGC and Bob agreed to collect and re-crown; returned within a week and now capable of 1" groups.
That being said, I do know of two other earlier Glock models in my club (end of 2011/start of 2012) that have had significant issues with feeding and needed to go back a couple of times for fettling. Appears that SGC may have got things right with the latest build...

Me too. Wish I had a tenner for every time I've changed my mind about wanting one. Am currently sitting on the 300 Blackout side of the fence.

I had one of the early ones but even after the feed problem was "sorted" by SGC, I just didn't feel comfortable with it.

Anybody know the price of spare glock mags, thinking this will be perfect for practical speed shooting

If you want Dies and Cases I have both for 300 Blackout/Whisper.

For any one sitting on the fence about getting one I have just returned from a gun shop who said the last six they have sold are working fine & SGC have them sorted now.
