Hey all!
Hope everyone is doing well during these uncertain times.
Just wanted to pick the community's brains and was wondering what's the best budget/bang for buck OR pistol (glock 17/19 size, not competition size (ie. canik TP9SFx/ glock 34)
I wouldn't say that i'm cheap, but like getting the most value per dollar.

I am leaning towards getting an IWI Masada with a Holosun 507 v2 (am also open to a 407 v2) depending on price and was wondering if there was any other suggestions out there?
(only difference between 407 and 507, is that the 5 series has a 32 MOA reticle as well, correct me if i'm wrong)

I could also get a IWI masada paddle holster which accepts RDS for ~40$

GLOCK MOS is just way too expensive and i dont see any pros in getting it.
CZ OR pistols arent available here yet.

thoughts on this?

Thanks for the feedback~!
 
What you're suggesting may be over $1k when the smoke clears, including optic. Arguably a better value option would be to mill the slide of an existing gun you have and buy a used optic. All depends on what your goals are, etc. Just throwing it out there.

yeah, that's okay. I calculated if i were to buy a masada brand new with optic it would be 1300$ or so.
I have a cz p-10c which i was thinking about milling, but just wanted to see if there was any opinions among the CGNers. I just saw a post about a guy who selling his milled P10C and was kicking myself cause i had just bought my cz like 2 months before lol.

Thanks for the input though.
 
Get the P10 rear sight adapter and get the Aimpoint ACRO C-1.

Holy crap, why have I never heard about these rear sight adapter plates. that's a good idea i'll think about it.
I'm thinking more of a holosun range of RDS just for budget and size.
Thanks!

You happen to know of any P10C rear sight adapter for rmr/holosun?
 
oh that's not bad, i'll keep it in mind. i think i'm just primarily looking for a new gun anyway xD
Nothing wrong with that. :cheers:
I’d look for a gun with good parts support though. If something breaks, you don’t want to wait 6-12 months for a part. Or if you want to tune the gun, buying one where you can easily buy springs, etc is nice.
 
yeah. that's one of the reasons why i was kind of on the fence with the MASADA. should i fork over more for a GLOCK MOS? dont know. just wanted people's opinions :)

Getting your existing pistol milled is definitely the most cost effective option. As you’re in Toronto, I highly recommend Tactical Ordnance. It’s $150 for slide milling. And depending on your slide, they may be able to cut in a Glock rear dovetail so you can run co-witness iron sights as well. All that’s left would be the cost of your preferred red dot.

i quoted black box customs and they would cut but also have to do a refinish on the slide which bumps it up to 325$[/QUOTE]
