Kinda feel like all the compact/4" guns are in immediate danger of future generation updates and am stuck wondering what's a good buy right now.
Examples:
-G19 gen5 might be least likely updated...but the G48 with a Glock mag like the S15 would make the G48 the better gun.
-Sig P320? Probably least likely to be updated, but also not the leader in any category.
-PDP is the leader of trigger but also fat slides. Clearly something will be updated about that in the future. P99 also seems to be more popular, so a P99/PDP mix? PDP is modular in the wrong direction of slide changes but not grip changes unless you get the compact grip and buy dust cover extension.
-APX was a flop. Beretta has said on their website it is at special pricing for 2 years now.
-TP9SF we know the TP9SFX gen2 is coming to the US, so it will mean the TP9SF will be updated too.
-M&P 2.0 excels at nothing but price, so you can imagine 3.0 is in the works.
-VP9/SPF9 HK probably doesn't want to become a one handgun seller. Wonder if their new single stack will be better than the VP9.
It just seems like a great time for enhancements when generation updates are worthwhile, but not a great time to buy for long term ownership.
