Glock 43, finally?

This is interesting: Glock 43 9mm - 10rd Single Stack Magazine

That would make it kind of a tall single stack wouldn't it? 10rds single stack compared to a Shield's 7rds single stack. I am wondering if it would be the same size as a Kahr K9?

I wouldn't think they would make the frame large enough to hold 10 rounds in a true single stack magazine. I'm not convinced that wasn't put on the page as a gag at this point or it could be an extended mag that Glock plans to have as an option. We'll know Friday.

Hmmm 10 rounds. I'd have to think long and hard about getting one, since my Glock 26 already has a 10 round capacity.

Then again, the G43 would be a single stack...

Maybe it's just a single stack Glock 19?

LOL I had to google that one.

No you didn't...

Like a slightly thinner G36?

 

[lovemachine]

No you didn't...

Ok that made me laugh.

That would make sense.

I dunno. But on Glock Talk, they're thinking it may be closer to a Glock 19 now.

That is what I am hearing as well, but who knows. Speculating is fun though.

If it IS a single stack Glock 19, I'm a little disappointed. But at the same time, this could be good news. A compact single stack Glock 9mm where you don't lose ammo capacity.


Could Glock be on to something? Or maybe they're a little nuts...

I'm thinking this might just be an April Fool's.

It would be cool if they did what the shields subcompacts do. Give you a low round count gun with a concealable stubby grip, and sell an extended mag that also extends the grip for a full size grip. Historically mags have been interchangeable, but not attractive as you stick your G19 mag into a G26.

Ah, geez, we're still waiting?? I thought this would be over by now...

If Glock took a lesson from S&W and made their "Single stack" mag slightly staggered like the Shield's 8 rounder, then made the new pistol a skinny G19, then it is possible to put 10 rounds into a skinny 9mm. If that is the case though, I will be sticking with my G26/27. But it might fit the wife pretty good.

Here is another article that makes solid points based on what Glock has actually put out themselves, it analyzes the spring picture posted as well as the number of serrations on the slide from one of the other pictures in comparison with known Glock models.

I wouldn't be disappointed at all. A G19 sized gun with a single stack grip with a thinner slide, i'd be all over it. I just prefer more full-sized pistols. If its another micro 9 i'm not interested, if I want to carry a tiny gun i'll just use a P380. If it's shield size or bigger I might like it.

Single stack 45GAP...hahahaha
