I was out & about today and was OC'ing. I went into a dry cleaners and during small talk the young man asked what I carrying. After I told him he said, "My dad has a 1911 Glock 40." :confused: I said, "Yeah, I hear those are rare." :cool:
 
Next to the molded yellow plastic Glock 17's. Someone once told me the were looking at a Walmart brand gun. I didn't even want to talk to them about guns after that.
 
There is a way to make some sense out of that, but you'd have to REALLY stretch things.

Let's say it's a 1911 pistol, the one we all know and love.
Now let's say it's chambered in .40 cal... not really common, but it's been done.

Now let's call it "Glock .40" instead of .40 S&W... which isn't accepted as proper, but technically, you could make an argument for it considering the fact that while it's named the ".40 S&W", Glock was able to sneak their Model 22 on to the market before Smith & Wesson was actually able to get their 4006 out there... effectively pulling the rug out from under them. The first pistol to the market that chambered the .40 S&W was a Glock pistol.

Yeah... kid at the cleaners was confused and/or under-educated, maybe trying to sound cool. But if I were forced to make up an elaborate reasoning... well, there it is! ;)
 
You got it all wrong it was the glock 7 that passes through metal detectors

Only if the machine was turned off.

Of course that little detail never mattered to journalists who lie to protect our children.
 
How old was the kid? Might have just been confused, or may have been trying to impress you.

Just curious, why did you not correct or inform? No, not your job, but still...you might save him from teasing later on;)
 
I have an uncle who wanted to show me his "Glock" that was actually a Springfield Armory Mil-Spec 1911. He’s older and somehow thought the word “Glock” was slang for “.45 caliber.” Instead of laughing at him or shrugging it off, I explained the difference and showed him my Glock 19.

Next time, try taking the time to explain the difference. The kid/person my actually appreciate knowing the difference. There was a time when I didn’t know the difference between a “clip” and a “magazine.”

Best wishes.

Magnum Research supposedly did the same thing to them with the .500 S&W magnum cartridge - they already had a suitable frame in the BFR, and allegedly beat S&W to market with their own cartridge.
 
Reminds me of a friend I had in high school who said that his grandfather had a "German 45" which ended up being a FN 1922 in 32 acp.

I guess if "45" meant pistol to everyone, he was right...(FN is Belgian, but the Nazi's made pistols there after they invaded).

Glock should introduce a polymer 1911, but I suppose it would need to have a safety! Many companies have made guns similiar to the glock, it would be funny if they reversed the trend "the first polymer 1911" lol

Sorry if any of this was blasphemous.
 
I dont think it would be the first polymer 1911...Kimber already did that...Saw one at a gun show for 650, passed it up...There wasn't much about it to like...
 
LOL ...Taurus has a Yellow poly pistols and Kimber had a bul poly frame 1911.

Thanks for posting but wow what an ugly 1911 / pistol in general. I can live with the wannabe bumble bee gun (I wouldn't own it, but its cool that it could be spotted in a 747) but that polymer 1911? Ew. Its like how a transvestite is less attractive than a fugly woman or man, because at least the standard woman or man has an identity grounded in reality.

This polymer 1911 doesn't know what it wants to be lol.
