This review of the Shadow Systems XR920, a California-legal alternative to the Glock 45, highlights its unique features like a Glock 17 grip and Glock 19 slide, interchangeable backstraps, and a versatile optic mount. However, the reviewer expresses significant dissatisfaction with the trigger quality and recoil impulse, deeming them unpleasant and a major detractor from the shooting experience. Despite its numerous desirable features and reliable performance over 2,000 rounds, the reviewer concludes that the high price point and the aforementioned drawbacks make it a personal non-purchase, while acknowledging its appeal to those seeking a Glock 45 alternative in California.
This 'Real Talk' segment compares the Holosun 507 Comp and Vortex Defender XL, focusing on their suitability as large-window pistol optics. Key considerations include optic footprint compatibility (RMR vs. Delta Point Pro), reticle options (plain dot preference vs. multi-reticle systems), battery access, and lockout features. The discussion highlights that while the Trijicon SRO was a past standard, these newer models offer comparable or superior features at potentially lower price points, making them strong contenders for current buyers.
