Let start this by saying why the hell isn't it a 9mm?

 

I handled one at a LGS and I fell in love at first GLOCK. But I am not a glock fan because of its trigger safety and my hand size. The g42 was perfect in my hand and I was really interested on buying one. I just couldn't see myself stocking up on another caliber and I'm already in love with the 9mm caliber.

 

I just don't see any reason why glock would just release a 380 and not even say if they are making a 9mm.

 

Only reason I see why they released a 380 is to attract females to carry? (Ruffle some feathers yet?)

 

The g42 would have left with me and would have been my first glock, but damn glock company had to release it in 380.

 

Ok that's enough of my venting, I need a drink

i would give it time. Im sure they will make a 9mm version. They already made the .45 slim.

 I also think they probably already have it designed. they probably space the release dates out so they arent competeing with one another. People that are buying the 380 now will im sure go and buy the 9mm when it is released. 

I think GLOCK will come out with a single stack 9mm. I'm a dyed in the wool GLOCKinista and own a Kahr PW9.

I decided that 9mm is my minimum carry caliber and yes I have a G26 but it's too fat.

The Kahr internally is very similar to the GLOCK. and is much thinner and lighter.

True it's only 6 rounds but that's OK. (I won't use the 7 rd mag due to possible reliability issues)

If GLOCK made a PM9 sized single stack I'd be in line for one.

 

I agree. 9mm is my limit as a primary carry gun as well - I do have a LCP that is related to BUG or 3UG under certain circumstances.

 

I have two pistols that are not Glocks. One is a the aforementioned LCP the other is a Kahr PM9. It works well in its intended role in my CCW routine as it will pass the "concealed" test in certain situations where the G27/G23 will not.

 

I carry two 7 round mags as reloads for my PM9 and use them when qualifying. I have never had any reliability issues when using them instead of the flush fit 6 round mags. In fact the only issue I have ever had my my Kahr was when the plastic mag catch gave up the ghost during a practice session. I replaced it with a new metal version and haven't had a problem since.

 

 

Maybe its me but i prefer carrying a bigger gun. I never felt comfortable grabbing a tiny pocket gun in a high stress situation.

 

While I will occasionally carry a smaller gun as a primary carry peice (G27 or PM9 as mentioned above) 90% of the time I carry a G23/22/35 when CCW - I am mandated to carry a G22 at work. I am demonstrably and measureably faster AND more accurate with full size guns as I spend the majority of my training and practice time on them. I am also of the opinion that if I ever need to skin a blaster and go to work I would prefer to have every reasonable advantage in speed and accuracy at my disposal.

I have said it before and I am saying it again: Why design a gun around a smaller cartridge first and then try to jam the larger round into the smaller frame as they did with the 17/22? Granted, .40 S&W was not around when the 17 was first created, but they saw how that worked out with unsupported chambers, KBs, WML issues, ejection problems, etc.... I just don't understand why they would set themselves up for those kinds of issues again.

why not? it makes them tons of money. if they had stuck with just the 17, glock wouldnt be so popular.
