Glock innovation

[ABrad15]

Let’s talk about how Glock is so innovative… not really and I’m a fanboy… what would you like to see Glock come out with? I want them to come out with a fire control unit like sig

How about that carbine that people have been asking for? Like for the last 20 years or so.

Something about the size and configuration of the Beretta CX4 (mags go in the pistol grip) would be neat. Or even a cool bullpup configuration.

Especially with the pistol brace fiasco going on right now. Glock could release a bullpup that is as short as most braced pistols, without the ATF ********, and really captivate the market.

But they'll probably go with more of the same, with a grip or slide chop. "New model!"

I mean. I might buy one of those.

Looking inside of a PSA Dagger you see some of the innovations that Glock should have made 15 years ago. Unfortunately they are about as responsive as a 100 year old turtle.

Glock is innovative.... Thats so 1980s
I don't hate glock at all. If I could only have 1 pistol it would be a 19 but dang. Never saw a company put out so much stuff thats the same and calling it new and different. JMHO

To be fair, the Gen 5 has quite a few parts that aren't backwards compatible. Glock does actually do a lot of small changes internally when they decide something could be improved.

Personally, I don't need Glock to do anything but continue making good reliable handguns.

Fair enough

Maybe make factory metal magazines that allow their guns to be competitive in the market. If Shield Arms didn't exist the 43x and 48 would have been complete duds IMHO.

I'd like to see a modular system as well. One that could swap internals into different grip modules.

Shield arms is the reason I got and carry my 43x.

PSA is supposed to be coming out with their version of those magazines for their new micro dagger. According to what @Route 45 said if I understand it correctly .

If that's what you want, why not just buy the Sig 320?

I actually carry a G48 w/ factory 10rnd mags. Why? Because the Shield mags take WAAAAY too much fiddle-farting around with to make them function even somewhat reliably. Lots of issues with them, and plenty of folks who have run them for hundreds of rounds without a problem only for them to suddenly and unexpectedly crap out in some way. For a tool I may have to bet my life on (but please God, don’t make me do that), no thanks.

Innovative?

Glock just makes the same polymer brick over and over...

Now this would be an interesting statistic, but I wonder what percentage of users stick with OEM 10 round mags or go Shield 15 round magazine route.

What Is Causing the Glock Gun Kaboom Defect?

An alleged defect in the Glock gun design leads to blowout and injuries to consumers, a class action lawsuit against the manufacturer claims.

You can usually cure “Gluck innovation” by buying a new, aftermarket, fully supported barrel.

I have 1 Glock, wait, 2. A 48 and a 19x. I had more but I started doling them out to the kids years ago.

To act like the Glock pistol is the end all be all is being as small minded as those that still cling to their 1911 and ignore all the faults and failings of the design, ESPECIALLY the ones you purchased in the 1970’s and 80’s that you had to spend another $1000 in to get them to shoot JHP bullets.

And almost 60%, more probably, never leave their Glock pistol stock. And if you don’t believe me, what did you do with those horrific plastic sights that came on the gun?

Probably the same place mine went, into a spare parts bin in a divided box somewhere to put back on when you sell it.

Not bashing them, just telling the whole truth.
