MPA Defender 9mm owners opinion

[Quartermaster]

For some reason I have it in my head that I want one of the new MPA Defender pistols that accept Glock 9mm mags. The reasons are two fold. One, it is as politically incorrect as it gets. Throw that in the "pro" column. Two, my 45 Osprey fits it, looks good, and performs well on 9mm standards, and absolutely SINGS with subs. Picture included.

My question to anyone who OWNS, or has extensively SHOT the new defender, side charger, ONLY: what's the drawback? Why should I not drop $600 on an ugly, blocky, short barrel, heavy chunk of aluminum? Talk me out of it. Come on, I could get 2000 rounds of 5.56 xm193 ammo instead.

Whoa! I gotta look at that!

Your Osprey would look good on a lot of pistols. Pistols with a proven track record of reliability and not side chargers. Almost two months before a response should just scream your answer. YMMV.

Just my $.02. And that's about all its worth.

While I don't think any gun is ugly, that grip looks uncomfortable.

But I still want one.
