GlockSpeed31 Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 According to some of the SHOT Show reports, Glock has the G38 & G39 (both in 45 GAP) coming out. The G38 is the G19 size and the G39 is the G26 size. Also, Glock is starting to make frames here in the US. Still no word on the Carbine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petej Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 The new "Harris Autopistols 2005 Buyer's Guide for Glock" has all 3 .45gap models on the front cover with two related articles inside. Walt Rauch, who I respect as a gunwriter, gives high marks to the trio. And Chuck Taylor did a 10,000 round torture test of the Glock 37 to prove that it is a very solid pistol and performs great.

GeorgeInNePa Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 Now all they have to do is come out with a G34/35 style pistol in .45GAP. Why I want one I have no idea, but I want one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricW Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 Also, Glock is starting to make frames here in the US. Shudder. Anybody just feel the price of their Austrian frames go up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duane Thomas Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 Nope. I just felt the price of their American-made guns go down. Just like what happened when SIG started producing guns in the US - they cost much less than the European made and assembled pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlos Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 Matt Kartozian of Custom Glock Racing has been kind enought to post daily coverage of the SHOT show (including pictures of the new AMERICAN made glock frames & the new Glock models) on his website: here it is: http://www.custom-glock.com Thank you very much Matt!

Garrett Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 Also, Glock is starting to make frames here in the US. I wonder if that means they will start offering the .380 models (Glock 25 & 28) here now. Since the reason they didn't sell them in the US before is because those particular models did not rate enough import points. If they are produced domestically, they are legal to market here. Not that I particularly want one. Especially since I can get the exact same gun in 9mm or .40. But I have seen a number of people ask about them from time to time. I'm sure if the .45 GAP sells, Glock should be able sell at least as many guns in .380. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikW Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 What's the magazine capacity of the smallest .45 GAP Glock? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Custom Glock Racing Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 The 38 is 8+1 and the 39 6+1. I got a chance to shoot them both last week and they both shoot amazingly soft, softer than the 37 for a reason I have not figured out yet. Fantastic carry guns.

Carlos Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 "and they both shoot amazingly soft, softer than the 37 for a reason I have not figured out yet." Got to be the Glock version of the STI Recoil Master (or double spring recoils system). Come to think of it, didn't Glock come out with the 2-spring system well BEFORE the intro of the STI system? Sounds like Glock got the rates just right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep - the G27 and G26 have the double spring recoil system. Actually, Seacamp has a patent on the design. Seacamp sued Glock for infringement and there was an undisclosed settlement . . .
