When Glock first came out with a factory colored frame, (OD green around 2008 or 09 I believe) THEY DIDN'T SELL!
Same thing with the Gen3 "fishgill" slides and RTF2 grip texture.
Glock dropped MAP protection and distros and dealers were blowing them out.
Guess what happened when they went out of productions? Yup, now there was a demand and prices on OD's and fishgills skyrocketed. I know, I sold off mine.
Glock doesn't give new model#s to color variations. Remember, Glock didn't come up with the Gen1/Gen2/Gen3 descriptions......the marketplace did. To Glock it was just a Glock 17 or 19. The first Glock to carry a "Gen" marking was the Gen4.
Dogtown Tom.
Same thing with the Gen3 "fishgill" slides and RTF2 grip texture. Did you know the production models that had the fish gill design was backwards? Difficult to get a good grip in loading by pulling the slide to the rear. Your fingers had a tendency to slip off.
But I carry it every day.

Trail blazer this year is the Laugo Arms Alien 500. Striker fired, extreme low center of gravity so No muzzle flip, barrel does not move, only the side of the slide moves so sights don’t move, gas blowback operated, modular iron sites red dot sights etc, exchangeable grips and back straps and accurate. Thought those things would get your interests peaked. Those of you who live in a free state are very fortunate. Looks like a cool CZ mod to me.

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.

Big sigh..LE 'rapidly moving to other pistols' ? My Aunt Matilda's mustache.......
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.

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.

Explain how Glock is laughingly stupid and S&W, Ruger with the same mag capacity are not?
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.
I can't say I've ever read a dumber statement than this. My Secret Service buddies are giddy over their new Glocks. But wait, LE is moving away? Better notify the FBI, ATF, Secret Service and all those other federal agencies getting their new Glocks. Lets ignore the state and local LE that mimic what the FBI carries.
Alex: Once the predominate caliber among U.S. law enforcement, now its sales are falling faster than speeding bullet.
Ken Jennings: What was the .40s&w?
Honestly, you need to get out more. I transfer/sell two hundred 9mm Glocks for every 10mm of any brand. I'll eventually get one, but the 10mm is about as popular as the .357sig.
Yeah, smart like the kid who repeated kindergarten.
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?
There aren't a lot of 10mm carbines because no one wants a pistol caliber carbine that costs more than .300blackout to shoot. Take a deep breath and think why 9mm carbines are so popular. Hint....it's not because of the awesome ballistics.
Yeah, it sounds silly. Why not go full on and chamber it in .25naa?

I have it on good authority the Gen6 Glocks will have two lanyard holes and integral bayonet.

Laughably stupid is not understanding the firearms market.
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.
I don't care what your SS buddies think, nor the Feds, I look at what local and state police are doing and they're dumping Glocks. I can't say I agree, I think Glocks are fine, but they don't have the cash cow they once did.I can't say I've ever read a dumber statement than this.

Wow, 9mm is very popular, damn that is some breaking news. I can only tell you what I hear and I can't say people I meet at the range or in a store like 9mm Glocks, they like other 9mm pistols, but when they talk about Glock, it's the 10mm that they want or speak highly of.
You act as tho the 10mm market is as dead as .40 and that's not true. There are no 10mm's under $400 brand new, but used ones sure are. That shows there's a demand for a cheaper 10mm and if someone brought a new 10mm to market for under $400, they'd sell. How can you sit there and tell me it wouldn't? You're not the guy buying the gun to own, you're a little dealer who is out of touch.Yeah, smart like the kid who repeated kindergarten.

And 10mm ammo doesn't cost as much a .300 does.
Again, out of touch.Yeah, it sounds silly. Why not go full on and chamber it in .25naa?
Ahh, no..USN Seals just said no to the very problem plagued M17 and chose G19..they CHOSE Glock, must be something wrong.

Ya know, you say you 'like' Glocks and then bash them..if you don't like 'em, don't buy one, don't use one but 'staring into the abyss'''nope.

What makes you think they won't?
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.
What "they got the money" has to do with anything, only you know. And if Glock didn't give a crap then explain why they gave enough to build t on the first place.
You logic is odd to say the least.
So you choose to ignore the massive DHS/DOJ contracts and have us believe state and local police are "dumping Glocks". Details please, and while you are at it provide a list of LE market share among Glock, S&W, HK, Beretta, Sig, etc.
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.
Like I said, you need to get out more. And please tell us where this magical place is where people don't like Glock 9mm pistols.
Well, lets play.
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.
We ain't taking used guns, you brought up the idea of NEW 10mm Glocks at the $400 price point.
I'm sure they would, but you kinda have to understand that Glock and others know 10mm is waaaaayy down...............................here in popularity (ie SALES) compared to 9mm/.40/.45. They have no incentive to sell a 10mm at $400 when they sell all the 9/40/45 they want at $500 and up. Racing to the bottom doesn't mean more $$$.
Out of touch?
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.
I didn't write that...I wrote: "There aren't a lot of 10mm carbines because no one wants a pistol caliber carbine that costs more than .300blackout to shoot." I was esponding to your comment about "There is a Kriss that costs over a grand"........and the 10mm Kriss is not nearly as good a seller as their other calibers.
Whatareya? Nutz? Glock is staring at the abyss, will be outta biz in a week or two and your Glock 45 will be worthless..->
Son has a Glock 45, other has a Glock17/5, I have a Glock17/4 and besides 100% reliability(100%..in probably 7-8 THOUSAND total rounds of everything from cheap Russian ammo to big bux 'boutique' ammo)...accurate, fun to shoot, not expensive..but they are 'Glocks'..so ya know tellers of truth and all...

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.
