It comes with a case, 3 magazines, kydex holster for pistol and magazines, a speed loader, and a lock.

For my taste, they're too thick for CCW. I have the same issue with Glocks though, so maybe it's just me. I prefer 1911s for CCW.

I agree with that. I prefer single-stacks for CCW and frequently use a Walther PPS in 9mm for carry, if and when I carry. It's a very slim pistol and conceals very well.

I'm one of those rare shooters who doesn't have a yearning for a 1911. Just not something that interests me, but I acknowledge the attraction many people have for it.

I called glock yesterday and they are sending out the new spring. Hopefully this will solve the problem.

Just curious on your thoughts.

Frog Lube

Like automobile lubricants, weapon lube concepts tend to be WAY overthought, IMHO.

Frog Lube

Tried it, but not a fan. Smells nice, stays put, but I believe wintergreen oil is what the main ingredient is. Consider, the claims made, and then consider that wintergreen oil has indeed been used inside cannon barrels historically, has the same smell, etc., has been used to loosen rusted bolts on ships, and other saline prevalent areas, has been used when rubbed into joints to ease pain.

Basically, the claims are the same as the historical uses of the oil, and one of the stories is that it was found in a cannon barrel...

Sounds like it to me.

Wintergreen oil isn't the greatest lube, though. Apparently, not the best rust prevention, either, based on every test I have seen with Froglube and the one I conducted myself.

Until further notice, I use Breakfree CLP for anti-corrosion, and LaRue MG lube and TW25B as a lubricant.
