Glock...something big is coming

[Bill Siegle]

I'm looking forward to handling one myself and get a feel for it. Also want to see what the street prices are.

 

[Kruel J]

Huh. Looks like rain the rest of the week.

It's fun reading the responses to this on all the different gun forums.
I believe Glock managed to underwhelm the entire internet.

FYI - search the Glock site and you will find a threaded barrel kit coming for purchase

I thought most .22s have a fixed barrel. No booster in .22 cans. Wonder how the g44 will work with a can.

 

[DB is Here]

A silent release, or dropping it on the Shot show would have made more sense.
This is what happens when you don't innovate and let the bored marketing dept built the hype.

 

[Kruel J]

They took lessons from Springfield. It's the Saint all over again.

Yup, definitely gonna rain this week.

 

[TTSX]

BOOOOOO!!!!!!! What a total letdown. I don't see how this is anything close to "big" or "legendary" by the stretchiest of stretches. I can personally guarantee one sale they won't be making

 

[User 1234]

So they finally caught up with Ruger's 22?

 

[WAYNO]

You guys are a tough sell. A 10mm is magical, a .40 hurts your hands, and a .22 is not manly enough.

FIFY

 

[User 1234]

The disappointment stems from their overhyped marketing. "Something big" is not a simple 22 pistol.

 

[titsonritz]

I guess their next "big thing" will be a 15 round mag for it.

Glock's release was a total letdown.

And their numbering system gets ever more confusing and annoying.

G22 is a .40.
G44 is a .22
G40 is a whatever
And so forth...

How about for "innovation" they come up with a logical numbering system!

Ehhh....the numbering system is in order of product development. I don't think they can appease the masses by making every model number jive with the caliber.

Yup. Plastic fantastic .22LR.

Yeah. If ever I could wish a cartridge to just go away..........or at least stay where it belongs.......

I understand it, or at least originally started with the G17 which was the 17th patent. Or as I've read.

However, it's a stupid and short sighted and confusing method of numbering things that should have ended or been replaced decades ago.

Takes 1 second to think of a better system.

Glock 9L, 9M, 9C, and 9SC, and 9SSC. 9mm large, medium, compact, subcompact, and slim/single sub compact. Easy enough to replicate for all calibers. Easy for everyone to know WTF you're talking about.

Rather than the Glock 40, in 10mm (I had to look that up, it's become so darn confusing). Or the Glock 22 in 40 caliber. Or the Glock 44 in .22 caliber, etc. since it's just simply a dumb numbering system.

Just like it's easy enough for Smith to number their revolvers in a way that makes sense? I get what you're saying, but no.

You mean like S&W did/does with their handguns?
