Glock 9mm

[sly14]

Why does glock not make a single stack 9mm? I would think that they would to comepet with other companies. Seems to me it would be a hot selller.

Yeah I would take one in a heart beat.

IDK why anyone makes a single stack. Why carry 8 when you can carry 16? The print is not that different from a shield and double stack. IMHO Go big or go home.

Who knows? Maybe Glock doesn't see the return on the investment (i.e. $$ to redesign the G26 and get it from 1.18" wide to 1" wide - what's the point).

Maybe it's import points. A handgun has to score 75 points (IIRC) to be importable. Since the G26 scores right at 75, and a single stack would be lighter (you get points for weight - so single stack would get LESS for being lighter), it might not be importable.

Domestic manufacturers don't have to be concerned with the import points system.

I can't remember the last time I carried a single stack anything. (Although I realize lots of people do.)

I'm pretty sure Glock isn't worried about competition at the moment, nor the cost to redesign. Glock designers would have the new pistol designed in less then a week and could probably be in production within the month if they really wanted to. I suspect their more worried about things like filling the 1000's upon 1000's of constant global orders coming in. Just saying... I'm sure they'll probably have one eventually, but I highly doubt their in a hurry.

You'd think with the XD S out that Glock is considering a single stack version, but who knows. I prefer more capacity as well. If the high-cap ban hits I'd be extremely interested in a Glock variant though...

I want a glock version of a shield. Id can my shield in a heartbeat!!!

Buy looser pants.

Its not always about printing or pant size. I carry an XD.40SC and my wife doesn't feel like she can control it. She also shot MANY 9mm's before she settled on the Shield. It was because of the size and thickness of the grip and her ability to feel like she has a good grip on the gun to control it.

I heard they are working on one to compete with the "shield" buyers

pretty sure it was the ''s'' series

I don't think Glock makes anything single stack...

I don't think Glock makes anything single stack...

Ever heard of a Glock 36?

 

[NHT3]

Maybe because they can't make enough to supply the current demand for double stacks??

It seems to me Glock sells a ton of what they do make. I'm a Glock fan, but they seem to have taken the approach of we make what we make and people buy a ton of what we make, why bother to innovate? They seem to take a very different approach from S&W and Ruger.

I'm pretty sure Glock isn't worried about competition at the moment, nor the cost to redesign. Glock designers would have the new pistol designed in less then a week and could probably be in production within the month if they really wanted to

I used to think like this about Glock, but with some of the erratic ejection issues they have had and not been too quick to solve, I'm not so sure anymore.

Should be a pretty good seller

I want a Glock in .380 just because they say we cannot have one here

Isn't this basically a Glock 36 slide on a Glock 30 frame? This has been done by folks for years. I'm not ready to say it is innovative.
