I was okay with the change to the new model, until they decided the average gun monkey couldn’t manage the cartridge-swap feature and discontinued it. That leaves them with a funny-looking oddball IMO. Apparently in Yurrup it’s possible to send one in for a factory swap, but so far that’s not being discussed here.
I’m sure other factors are involved in the change; maybe worn-out machinery, a desire to go CNC for everything, or something else. They’ve also discontinued other items like the Kadet 2 .22 conversion for the 75-series pistols. I have one of those and it’s a fine mechanism. Fortunately, I also picked up some spare mags while the gettin’ was good. We all know what an expensive PITA is can be to find obsolete magazines.
