Mossberg handguns?!

[5nmay5]

Anyone else see this? it kinda interests me, looks like they are competing with the glock 43/Shield crowds being 6+1 or 7+1 respectively.
My thoughts are they arent bringing anything "new" to the single stack 9 world aside from looks AND it takes glock 43 mags.
I would thing, if I were to design a subcompact handgun to compete with the micro 9's, id set my sights on knocking the 365 off its teetering perch.

That safe take down system looks pretty neat. Do we really need another 9mm though? Still, I would like to check it out.

 

[5nmay5]

oh, for sure i'd like to shoot it. but i'm pretty full up on 9mm's myself. infact, my next pistol I want is a glock 19 chambered in .45 acp (still hoping for that)

 

[MilitantBEEMER]

This handgun really intrigued me. I am looking forward to getting my hands on one!

 

[5nmay5]

But will it replace my sig 365 or my glock 43? only time will tell, but probably not.

Had not heard anything about this. I too like the take down on it, interesting idea. Have over the years read many an account of someone ending up with a red face, or worse, with a pistol that required dry fire to take down. Guess they must have figured there is room in the market for yet another since they were willing to invest in getting this to market. Will be interested to hear reports from new owners.

This could be the first in the line of many new handgun designs from them. Hopefully it's not just a one hit wonder. It will be a good one to watch. If they can re-think things and make semi-autos a bit more interesting I would definitely be interested. The reality is though that they are up against a consumer base that is largely brand loyal when it comes to hand guns. Innovation is definitely welcome though.

Can't happen.

well yea, it wouldnt be called the Glock 19, I think glock missed a HUGE opportunity to have the glock 45 in .45 acp, but NOOO had to do it in 9mm

A Glock 19 size frame could never be chambered in .45 ACP.
The .45ACP is to long.

That's why there are 9mm/40S&W frame Glocks. And .45/10mm framed Glocks.

That's all I meant.

A "Compact" (4" barrel) glock in 45 acp. Kinda like the M&P 2.0 Compact has 9, 40 and 45.

Every time another "Glock killer" comes, I want to ask: why the heck gun makers are running circles?
Among all modern handguns only Kel-Tec brought some innovations in their PMR-30.
Everything else is just another replica of Glock or Colt 1911 or Browning Hi-Power, so R&D money just have being wasted again.
To all gun makers: fire your lazy "designers" and hire someone with curious mind!
