Thread 63812357

Glock is discontinuing all .40 models. There is no clearer sign.

Good. It's a mediocre chambering with no clear upside. There is no reason to buy a gun in it unless you got a free 3000 round stockpile of ammo somehow.

Literally the only positive thing about 40 is that all ammo is flat nose by default and I wish that became standard with the other calibers.

Now the stockpiles of .40 ammunition can grow higher.
It's great news that Glock is discontinuing their garbage, let them continue.
(I want a Glock 46, the only Glock I'd ever purchase)

Like, all variants?

Y tho

>>63812357 (OP)
That's quite a few 9mm models as well... are the only glocks for commiefornia going to be the 19 and 26 now?

>>63812951
>unalives
kill yourself

>>63812357 (OP)
Wait, are they cutting all compact 10mm entirely?

>>63812357 (OP)
More LE trade ammo and guns for me.

>>63812357 (OP)
oh nice they are keeping the 17c in production

>>63812357 (OP)
Why is Glock discontinuing such a huge chunk of their line up?

>>63813891
Simplifying production prior to releasing the next generation.

This entire board really is just a bunch of eurofag mall ninjas that have never touched a firearm in their life, isn't it?

>>63813093
>unalive yourself

>>63813048
They're discounting the 17 because it's being replaced by the 47, same thing but with slide interchangeability with the 19 due to shortened dust cover. The 9mm roster will basically be 47, 19, 26, 17L for weirdos, 45, 43X, 48 and then I guarantee you they're going to release some kind of chop gripped 43 equivalent with mag compatibility with the 43x and 48.

>>63812357 (OP)
>release Gen 5 17L
>kill it immediately
For what pvrpose
>>63814118
I'm a Eurofag mall ninja who owns a Glock tho

>>63813660
Apparently. 10mm isn't good in a short barrel anyway. It's a handgun hunting and bear defense round and it deserves a real gun.

>>63814182
Nvm I'm retarded it's because they want to be rid of the garbage MOS system isn't it

>>63814184
I've put thousands of rounds through 2 MOS guns and never had a single problem with it. I don't want my slide permanently married to one optic manufacturer.

>>63813891
gaston glock died and his wife is taking over

and this
>>63814011
maybe some sort of sig copy ?

>ditching all current models of the Glock 22
>NOT ditching gen 3 Glock 23's
uh, what

>>63814191
Didn’t Gaston steal a .40 S&W round during a trade show so he could reverse engineer it and come out with the model 22?

>>63813660
Why the fuck would you carry 10mm in anything other than a full sized handgun?

>>63814118
you finna know it. Why else would there be over 80 threads about ukraine or some other bullshit not about personal gun ownership

>>63813891
no one buys .40 cal and he needs to save up money for horse cum
like, unironically, glock also sells horse cum, you can buy glock brand horsecum from glock

>>63813660
>>63814435
Here's hoping to God G29 gets replaced by a slimline single stack 10mm

>>63812357 (OP)
>G34
Well, I expected this would happen eventually. They really fell hard out of the competition scene after everyone else started making better guns.

I honestly can't think of a reason why someone would buy a Glock in general nowadays unless they're buying like 100+ as part of a fleet order. Literally everyone else just makes a better Glock.

>>63814501
I think the idea is that slide length matters less with red dots, which is really the road that the competition scene is going down.

>>63814501
The other guns don't have a 40 year history of continuing to function after thousands of rounds of +p+, being dropped from planes, left in the ocean, etc etc. People trust Glock because of it's reputation and that takes time to develop. Lots of newer pistols end up having safety issues and recalls, not just the P320.

>>63814300
checked, yes

It had a good run

>>63814501
>>63815187
Glocks are pieces of shit. The .40 chambered ones didn't get properly engineered—after the fact —to handle long term use of that round until the 2000s
(unlike HK USP and Beretta 8000 / Px4 which were properly engineered and specifically designed to handle .40 from paper)

>>63815222
Glock is the most torture tested handgun in history and you're a moron

>>63814118
We're talking about Glocks; they're not exactly exciting.

>>63812357 (OP)
Fucking hell. My gun counter is just going to be 90 different 9mms isn’t it?

>>63815260
You just DON'T GET IT bro, the slide serrations on this Glock are .020" deeper than this otherwise identical one. It's a total game changer bro.

>>63815276
At this point I’m legitimately expecting gen 6 models to be precisely that.

>>63812357 (OP)
How can I resist the urge to buy picrel before it's too late ?

>>63815248
I like Glocks even from an aesthetics standpoint, but only certain Glocks
Like the G19X has that certain something, a 2010s dream service pistol with FDE and everything, also note that it wasn't on the list
Gen 5s with the slide serrations don't have that aesthetic quality

>>63815222
Get an actual personality, I am begging you.

>17L for weirdos
Watch your tongue. There is nothing wrong with longbois

>>63816000
I meant weirdos like me. I prefer long slides/barrels. I do weird shit like carry G26 with a G17 barrel. Short barrels are only popular because most people carry guns on the same belt that is holding up low-waisted pants, so their guns aren't riding nearly as high as they should be.

>>63816000
Boomers loved them for the longer iron sight radius. I'm the opposite. I want a G19 grip and G26 barrel.

TRIPS OF TRUTH

>>63814501
I know its a single frame from a video, but why is this supposed professional shooter with a tricked out G34 struggling to control 9mm recoil? How? I'm pretty sure i can one hand it and get less muzzle flip

>>63816721
How are you carrying a gun? I have carried concealed for 15 years and I have never had any problem with barrel lengths under 6". The grip length is ALWAYS the issue. I don't understand what the demand is for short barrelled guns on full size frames and I think the G45 is the weirdest shit ever.

>>63816865
It's a woman

>>63815926
fuck off, yurocuck

>>63815819

>>63816954
AIWB or sometimes 4 oclock. I don't care about grip length poking my shirt or maximizing velocity. I want the smallest gun possible which still gives a full 3 finger grip.

>>63816711
Gotcha. Based and chkd

>>63812357 (OP)
Does any military or police force even use this calibre? Why were they producing it in the first place?

>>63817147
You must be new. In 1986 there was a shootout in Miami in which an FBI agent was killed by a suspect who failed to be incapacitated by a 9mm Winchester Silvertip round that failed to reach his heart after passing through his shoulder. The effectiveness of handgun bullets consequently became a big political issue and the FBI ultimately decided to switch to the 10mm cartridge developed by retired Marine Corps officer Jeff Cooper. The problem was the 10mm guns sucked and wore out fast and was too much for smaller starured and female officers to handle, so they watered it down. Then some engineer realized that the watered down load could fit inside a case that could be retrofitted into existing 9mm guns and thus the .40 short and weak was born. Then people realized that the 9mm was just as good with better bullets and they switched back to 9mm.

>>63814180
I thought hey stopped making the 17L a while ago for the 34?

>>63817251
The 17L is older than the 34. The 34 was developed for IDPA competition to meet the maximum barrel length spec. I don't know that the 17L was for, it's like some weird survival handgun that only I would care about and not normal people.

>>63815187
>The other guns don't have a 40 year history of continuing to function after thousands of rounds of +p+, being dropped from planes, left in the ocean, etc etc.
But enough about the Mk.23 and USP family.
This thread is for Glock's second place finisher budget knock off.

>>63817251
>>63817264
Friendly reminder that the 17L, and 20L, existed long before the g34 and g35.

>>63817248

Must-watch video here : >>63815201
(no, 9 mm is not "better" even in 2025)

>>63814435
I have a g29, it's the same size as a g19 but 1/8" wider, has a 10 round mag, and I push underwood screwdriver rounds out of it at like 1500fps.
If you can find a more powerful compact package I'd like to see it.

>>63817264
European company, it was made for target shooting

>>63816865
major PF handload

>>63817624
I've wanted a USP 40 since I was like 12 years old, but every time i have the money, none are available.
>I just wanna breech bang clear tango down in my house:(

>>63817264
The 17L existed cause a 6inch barreled Glock sounded cool.
It's always been a limited run 1 batch every 3-5 years thing.
The 34 existed to fit in the idpa box.

>>63814186
stop being poor and have a slide for each optic

>>63818251
I would put a longer barrel in it. Short grip is good, makes the gun easier to hide. Short barrel accomplishes nothing whatsoever. I have concealed full size 1911 and competition pistols with barrels over 5" for over a decade. I don't know what kind of pants people are wearing that makes them think they need a short barrel.

>>63818699
Get the 9 or 45, you'll be happier and have the better flavor(s) of USP.

>>63815386
the Glock17L is the only glock i have ever wanted

>>63817248
>and was too much for smaller starured and female officers to handle
I can't imagine uncritically repeating decade old boomer brain rot like it's the truth. 10mm sucked for everyone and the FBI never adopted the super hot loads. John Hall, who was running the Firearms Training Unit and the cartridge tests, was such a 10mm fanboy that he brought his own gun in to test and his custom handload. At the time, the FBI wanted a .45ACP with a 180gr bullet. Hall's handloads replicated that in the 10mm Auto with a bit less kick.

The FBI adopted that 10mm load and had S&W build a 4506 in it to equip everyone. But, the pistols had a bunch of problems and so the contract was cancelled. While they were looking around for a new gun, they realized there was a shit load of empty space in the FBI cartridge. They shortened the case to remove the space and allow the cartridge to fit in 9mm framed guns, which made it easier to find guns.

There was never a super hot 10mm load that was adopted. .40 wasn't a watered down cartridge, it was the same as the FBI always wanted. 10mm auto is a meme cartridge with a fake popular history.

>>63825600
I'm not seeing where you're contradicting me. The FBI ruled out the hot loads in testing before they even had working guns shipped. I was already aware of that.

.40 hurts my wrist therefore it’s a gay round

>>63819114
>Short grip is good
Honestly that's why I bought it.
The g20 grip is fuckoff huge, I'm not a ham planet, I can't hide that fucking thing anywhere.
I considered chopping a g20 grip for g29 mags, but for the 1/2" and change in extra length it was at the time I was like "why bother?"
I have thought about just getting an extended or threaded kkm barrel for it which would give me a little more oomph and probably will at some point.

>>63825627
>The FBI ruled out the hot loads in testing
They never even used them. They were going to get a 180gr .45 going before Hall stepped in with a custom 10mm load that replicated the performance of the .45 load they liked. The mythical hot 10mm load never entered the picture at literally any point. The "muh women and small men" myth is just made up bullshit that takes the baseless whining of boomers as gospel.

>>63815386
Don't buy it the Gen5s have issues. Unless you're rich of course and just want it as a collectible.
