The slide and it's internals are interchangable with my G23...probably why Glock is sueing them.

S&W And Glock Settle Suit
The Glock vs. Smith & Wesson lawsuit is history. After nearly three years of legal posturing, S&W has agreed to a multimillion dollar settlement and a slight modification to the Sigma Series Pistols.
To no one's surprise, Glock sued Smith & Wesson in early 1994. claiming "tortious acts, including without limitations, patent infringement, federal unfair competition, common unfair competition and deceptive trade practices."
S&W returned the salvo with "We firmly believe the suit to be totally without merit and will act accordingly."
Glock also sent an ultimatum to its dealers, giving them 15 days to decide on which to ca,y, the Glock or the Sigma. "If your decision is to continue to distribute Smith & Wesson products, your contractual relationship with Glock Inc. will be terminated," read the message.
In the end, Smith and Wesson agreed to "remove the surface located below the sear in the Sigma Series Pistols, which Glock contends is a positive guide means, and Glock has agreed that such a modification would resolve the patent infringement claim."
While no one in an official position is willing to say how much S&W will pay Glock, informed sources put the figure at between $5 and $8 million.

If you want a less expensive, good quality semi auto polymer pistol, look into the Ruger line. Lifetime warrenty and the things are reliable as the day is long.
Anyone else have ammo recommendations for me? All I got so far was Winchester white box...
I used to use WWB and now mostly use Federal for range ammo, both from walmart, because it the cheapest around

I've been seeing Magtech around lately pretty cheap. Don't know how dirty it is though.

Well we put 100 rounds down range today I will say the trigger does take some getting used to but overall seems like a decent gun.
