The Glock no one seems to be talking about......G46

[trevi]

Hello Shooters!

I am by no means a Glock fanboy, but I came across a model that is significantly different from ALL Blocks since its inception - the G46, which has a rotating barrel. And no one here seems to talking about it. (I did a search and nothing came back in this forum).

Who knows more about this? I think I like it.

It was developed for the German police. The rotating barrel was a requirement of theirs.

Not available here in the US or pretty much any other market for that matter. Probably why you haven't seen any talk about it. Not much to say about a gun that isn't available.

a rotating barrel.

Is that like the "Shoulder thing that goes up?"

 

[CountryGent]

Interesting requirement by the Polizei. I'd imagine a lucrative enough market, so Glock bothered with it.

 

[SavageGerbil]

I'd love to try one, I like the concept.

I have a Beretta Px4 Storm 9mm pistol with a rotating barrel. It is DA/SA hammer fired, but I would not mind having a striker version.

For those of us too lazy to use google, what's a rotating barrel? Single barrel gattling gun?

I personally would not own one. One of the great strengths of Glocks is the standardization and commonality of parts between models, this departure ruins that.

Plus the whole moving to Germany thing.

Love it. Want one. I'm a total Euro-wanker when it comes to automatic pistols, though, so there's that.

Their Cougar also had a rotating barrel

I guess we will have to wait for the "police surplus."

I use to have the Mauser M2 pistol in 45 ACP, that thing was wide and heavy. It was my EDC until it wasn't. I do not miss it but it was a nice, smooth shooting pistol and different.

A la the P6. Nothing but love for German police trade-ins.

Same here, 4 of my 5 Glocks are 2008 vintage Gen 3's.

I'd buy one in a heartbeat if they ever came stateside. And I bet many thousands of other people would, too. I think they're missing out on a big market, I mean people will buy a Glock that is absolutely no different from another glock they have. Well, except the new one is a peanut butter brown/ lone Wolf badarse gray frame. So yeah, one that's legitimately different would sell

 

[spookshack]

I'd settle for the G48 w/rail that the Euro market has already....

Maybe Joe can change your user name to Euro-wanker?
