Modern pistols

[alan]

Do the newest pistol designs actually bring about real technological progress or are companies merely making slight, cosmetic changes?

I think slides that are ready for optics and better coatings on guns are a real step forward. Other than that, it all feels like small changes. The main stuff has been tuned for years, so now it is about how it feels in your hand and how long it lasts

Optics-ready slides are a real step forward. The same goes for better coatings besides those, a lot of the changes feel like texture tweaks and marketing fluff. Real game-changers are few and far between since the platform is already in a good place.
