Shadow Systems' website shows Sunday, January 17th as the official release date.

Today's the day. Anyone else plan on tuning in?

Updates?
I went to my LGS today to try to grab a threaded barrel for a G19.4. Well, not so much, only Gen 5 barrels in stock. But they did have the MR920 Combat with a threaded barrel. Got me thinking.
Would y’all MR920 guys choose one over a G19.5 as a daily driver? How about a range gun? Duty gun? RMR, flashlight, Odessa? Do they really share holsters with the Glock?

My sample continues to work as expected. Unfortunately I haven't shot it too much as of late...
John Farnam, Ken Hackathorn and Dan Brokos have endorsed the gun and/or had them in classes and have commented that the guns appear to be a good value. Warrior Poet aka John Lovell has his own version of the 920 as well. Celebrity endorsements mean certain things to certain people but I'm surprised at the endorsements from the number of people for such a small company.
With that said, there was a post on reddit where an owner said he dropped a loaded gun off the top shelf of his gun safe. Supposedly the gun landed muzzle up and discharged a round that nicked the owner in the head. The gun was a stock and unmodified MR920. The post has since been removed. I don't know what happened or why and have seen nothing from Shadow Systems about it. Someone seeking internet attention or an actual event?

I have just about every 9mm Glock out there and carried either the 19 or the 45 every day until i got mine. I wouldnt go back to Glock if i had the SS handy. I love my glocks but yes they are that good and understand that i am a Glock guy and only buy Glock handguns. I will now only buy SS. I run mine with an xc1 and a holosun or trijicon rmr. They do fit every 19 sized holster that i own and i have a decent little collection. It just feels much more refined and smoother than stock Glock.

I sold my G19 and the MR920 is my daily carry, it uses all my G19 holsters (raven, las, tenicor). The convenience of having all the aftermarket stuff done without the downtime is one of the best selling points.

We sell a decent amount of these with good feedback. The only thing that is stopping me is the lack of an ambi slide stop. If they can incorporate the gen 5 upgrades I’d be all over it.

Have you heard anything yet on availability of the DR920?

So, it seems that y’all like these a lot. So far, in the downsides category, I’m seeing 3 things: reddit guy shoots himself, non-ambi features, price.
Of those 3, the only one thats really concerning is drop-safety. Has anyone attempted to reproduce this? I thought these were basically Glocks in the safety mechanisms.
Anything else? Why should I NOT replace my G19 collection with these?

I can't answer that for you. I have tried a few of the fancy glock clones out there and they didn't do anything for me that a glock didn't do.
