Actually took a look at one yesterday, but I just can't get around Glocks. Biggest thing for me is they ain't enough 1911.

I do own a tupperwear unit however, but it is in 45acp.

You got a link of a product description? I couldn't even find it on the Glock website. Looks bad ***! I have a Glock 19 with a M6X attachment myself.

I laugh at the "natural grip angle". Every glock I pick up, even thinking about it, I have to nose down a bit. Maybe just been usin' Sigs and 1911s for too long.

I have seen this and read a few different articles on it. I would be great if it weren't .380. The ballistics are HORRIBLE for .380. Obviously it is better than nothing, but in my opinion, they would be better off making a single stack 9mm and advertising it as a pocket carry handgun. I'm sure they will sell plenty, though.

I agree. That was my first thought as well. Pocket 9mm. I would buy that in a heart beat.

My personnel favorite carry, is my G36. Single stack .45ACP.

If I wanted a 380 in small compact pistol it would be a Browning BDA. Very reliable, very accurate, very high quality gun made by Beretta. I'm not a Glock fan. Even at gun point you couldn't make me buy one.

Ive seen them and was not impressed at all. I would rather go with the G26 9mm or G36 .45. I personally am a fan of full size frame guns. My G21 holds 13+1 .45. BUTT if it goes bang and you like it that is all the matters!

My biggest gripe with glocks is the grip

Seems they have now got rid of the finger contours ....if we were allowed to carry in NY I'd look at it but owning a small gun when you can't carry is pointless lol

If I ever do get that right I would probably go with Springfield they even have a slim version out now of the XD

I don't like Glocks. I don't trust them. There are more accidental firings from Glocks than any other brand. I carry a Ruger LCP .380. It's very reliable, small, and has a hammer. So, I feel safer with it in my pocket knowing the hammer ain't kocked. My favorite handgun I have is my Sig Sauer P226, the one the Navy Seals carry.

This is exactly why I'm switching from my Glock 17 to the M&P Shield in 9mm.

Yupp, not a fan of .380 when you can go up to a 9mm for the same price with better performance all the way around.

Statistics please??

Also, please keep in mind that 99.999999% of the time, a gun does not go boom without someone pulling the trigger. Just saying.


Edit: I just realized that I asked you for statistics to support your claim and I posted bogus/made up stats myself. Feel free to ignore this post hahaha.
