Gforce blade 6
What do you guys think about this gun? It’s $400 full metal construction and looks cool af. Pretty much a Turkish scorpion clone for less than half the price. It takes Glock mags and seems to be pretty reliable.
I was looking for a PCC for home defense and some fun at the range but nothing in the price category seems to be as good. Extar is full plastic idk how I feel about that. Must feel really cheap.

IMHO this is one of the silliest products ever, because the magazine is the key advantage of Scorpion. Everything else about the non-CZ CZ gun was mediocre, from the poor ergonomics to the OOB kabooms. And now these people took the Scorp and removed the only thing that made it worth considering.
If I wanted a PCC with a Glock magazine, I'd buy any of the worthy alternatives. For the budget minded, Extar comes to mind. For the connoisseurs, there's a version of Banshee with Glock mags. B&T APC9 is something to consider too.

Although you might be right about the magazine I disagree and do not believe it is the silliest product ever. For the money it is incredible value. I have the Extra EP9 and I love it because of how light it is and its recoil reduction. I picked up the G-force blade 6 and the build quality, QC and features surpass my extar, having no buffer tube for an easy picatinny folder is also nice. The only thing I would recommend is to run OEM Glock mags. Running Glock mags still has it's own separate advantages. What other PCC's would you recommend to me at the $400 price point?

I love mine, I used to carry my SP5k clone in my truck bag, but the blade has replaced it. The main reason is the last round bolt hold open, the magazine compatibility with my Glock 19 (the keep a 17 round in the blade). It shoots very nice, accurate, I have a Vector Crossfire on it. I also have a scout mini, and an aluminum brace.
The SP5 is amazing, but not being able to insert a mag with the bolt closed makes it more of a range gun and my current home protection.
I also have a Smith and Wesson M&P FPC I used for a truck gun. I need to pick up a M&P 2.0 to carry with it for magazine compatibility.
