Other than the 10mm G40, there's no new Glock that Glock could ever make that I would want to buy. They'll all end up used on gunbroker for a lot less in a few years.
Don't get me wrong, I love Glocks, but I look at what I have (a G35 and a G27, with spare 9mm barrels) and there's nothing else they have outside of that 10mm that I want. The .380 is too big, the .45 is boring, this new .22 is laughably stupid with the 10 round magazine, and no need for any 9mm's. Glock is staring at the abyss, the LE market is rapidly moving to other pistols, the civilian market has many other options, including used Glocks, and Glock isn't making much of anything that people want. Honestly, the only time I hear people IRL talk about getting a Glock or expressing interest in a Glock is the 10mm. If Glock was smart they'd come out with a single stack in 10mm, a budget model in 10mm ($400 or less new), maybe a 10mm carbine. Yeah, the carbine would be 20 years late, especially for a 9mm, but 10mm is different as there aren't a lot of 10mm carbines out there right now. There's the Hi Point, which, sure it works, but you're stuck with 10 rd mags. There is a Kriss that costs over a grand, there's an AR type made by TNW and that looks like a good lightweight survival rifle, but for a heavy duty, dead nuts reliable 10mm carbine that will not cost more than a grand, a Glock would be it. This will sound silly, but people are really embracing the low recoil of .32 ACP. If Glock made one that's smaller than the 42 and used a locked breech, it would get a lot of attention.

Every day a new LE Group have moved to Glock! They are not too expensive, they last for thousands of rounds, all they need is night sights, my latest purchase was the 43X the 10 shot small, slim 9mm. That I have just received the aftermarket 15 round magazine for. And I ordered it blue box, with the Ameriglo night sights right from the factory. That shoot to point of aim!
These sights are made for Glock, not by Glock, perfect. Of course, the holsters I want, for my Son and I, are back-ordered! So I am carrying the G19 again. Still using the Glock factory $15.00 belt slide, perfect. Smyrna says they are not contemplating making a belt slide for the 43 or 43X! The only new purchase I would be tempted to buy (which they are not contemplating selling out of Austria) The 46? Is a new design, a twisting ejection barrel/ system, not a tilting one in 9mm. Reducing the felt recoil. |

Ah, no Glock not making much of anything that people want?. Not much for YOU but Glock is fine and dandy...even in this silly gun day and age. Glock sells everything they make and consistently have high 6 figure back orders. Quote:
But yup, I'm a Glock fan boy(I'm sure that's next)..I admit I want a -reliable -easy to use -easy to shoot -accurate -not BIG $ TOOL...not a trophy... If Glock isn't yer cup 'o tea, groovy but 'staring into the abyss'...yeegads.

Sure, tehy could have gone full KelTecified and built a 30 rounder that rarely works out of the box, but instead chose a ten rounder because they'll be able to sell them in nearly ever state.....states where there are mag limits. Laughably stupid is not understanding the firearms market. Quote:

Your understanding of the 10mm market is skewed. Tell us more about the vast selection of 10mm pistols that sell for $400 or less. If Glock was smart? Quote:

I didn't say that it needed to hold 30 rounds like the Kel Tec CP33 does, but it's stupid when you consider Ruger has the LCP that holds 10 rounds, the Phoenix that holds 10 rounds and they're a lot smaller. I get that Glock wanted to sell these in ban states, but Glock makes 10 rd mags for use in the G19 that normally holds 15 rounds. Why couldn't they do the same for the 44? They got the money, they just don't give a crap cuz the Glock fanboys will but it up like a .22 never existed before. Quote:

And 10mm ammo doesn't cost as much a .300 does. Quote:

Same with a threaded barrel. Some states don't permit threaded barrels, so it makes PERFECT sense to manufacture your first production run as a model that can be sold in as many states as possible. Quote:
You logic is odd to say the least. Quote:
I think you'll find that Glock remains the overwhelming choice among state and local LE. But hey, you claimed state and local police are dumping Glock....now back it up. Quote:
Quote:
First tell us how many 10mm pistol models there are compared to just one of these common calibers: .380/9mm/.40/.45 Second, tell us about the variety and price of ammunition for 10mm vs any one of those calibers. I;m not saying the 10mm isn't a great round or that is dead by any stretch.....but you would be laughed out of any gunstore with your knowledge of how popular it is. Quote:

Um, yeah. I do over 2000 Title I transfers and 150-200 NFA transfers a year......meaning I see more gun people on Monday night than you do all week. And I'm not pushing my inventory on them, but transferring what they chose off GunBroker or from an internet retailer. My experience is with actual BUYERS, not shooting buddies, not some guy at the range pontificating about "What Brand X really needs is a ___". In other words your frame of reference is pathetically small. Quote:

Someone mentioned 10mm glocks. I would like glock to make/supply barrel, and rsa that is suitable for shooting hard cast lead bullets.
And for glocks in general, make available option for manual safety on all models kinda like smith and wesson does. |

That's enough of that. This one has strayed from the original topic, and sunk into bickering. Y'all go to your corners for a bit, but please do not come out swinging.
