MODULAR HANDGUNS: A FALSE PROMISE
Modular pistols are often marketed as highly customizable, but in reality, their design prioritizes cost-effective manufacturing and ease of maintenance over true modularity. The interchangeable components are typically standardized parts that allow manufacturers to streamline production and reduce expenses rather than offering users significant flexibility in configuration. As a result, while some changeability exists, the core platforms remain largely fixed, with modular claims serving more as a marketing angle than reflecting meaningful adaptability in function or form.
