Glock 9mm Single Stack Revealed?

Maybe Shot Show 2015?

"Looks like Glock is following the Apple sales strategy. $500 for a .380 that you really didn't want, then release the 9 for another $500" is a comment from the same story on ARF, and a comment that I echo.

Shield does the same thing extremely well at a good price.

To bad sse ends

... I guess I'll just have to move to Arizona for a few months

[Whatisthis?]

I'll believe it when I see it.

But if I see it, I'll probably buy it (assuming it's the same size as the 42, which it might not be).

A 9mm round will not fit into the magwell as it is too long (front to back). They could use slightly different magwell dimensions to make it fit... but otherwise it'll be slightly different size.

I said the exact thing when I heard about the 42 coming out. Smart, although I don't like blatantly taking advantage of your customer base like that

They better hurry if they want any sales in PRK. SSE is running out....

You know damn well at weekly Glock HQ meetings, the DM knows exactly when the projected release date / profit lines cross on the powerpoint chart.
Got to recoup 42 R&D & tooling expenses, etc. All data-driven. I would be surprised if the two lines cross in 2014. Apple is tech driven. Not Glock.

My wife likes .380 she has a ppks she loves, I just got her the g42 for ccw because its a lot lighter and she hated the lc9. Im gonna either get a g26 or maybe this single stack if it shows up and comes out in time for sse.

9MM single stack revealed? We can always hope. I'll believe it when I see it buy it.

Sadly I won't have the money for it even if it does come out before SSE goes away. Just bought my first house, and boy oh boy does that suck up and the money. If I had the money I would though.

Of course, there is always a chance a higher court will toss the roster as more and more guns fall off the list. Especially since micro stamping is a technological impossibility. If they leave that as a requirement to get onto the list then no new guns will be able to get listed. It is only a matter of time before the majority of handguns grandfathered in either stop being made or have some change made to them that would require them to be reevaluated in which case they would not qualify. Those manufacturers could also simply choose to stop paying the renewal fees if they see the chance to force the list to become an issue for the courts. In short, the micro stamping requirement turns the current roster system into an outright handgun ban over time...which the court has already said it will not tolerate.

Of course, there is the off chance somebody will perfect micro stamping...but I doubt it.

I'll get one in .40 when and if they make them. Check that, Glock will make them, too hot a seller not to. Just a matter of when.

Meh. That boat has already sailed. The Shield now owns that segment of the market. Glock would only piss of many of their loyal fanboys if they came out with a single stack 9mm now, so soon after sticking their customers with a .380. Especially since so many of them would have preferred a 9mm to begin with. S&W went ahead and made a really nice single stack in 9 and 40, it is has been selling like hotcakes. Trying to play catch-up now would make them look like they made a poor marketing decision with the Glock 42. Which they did.

You have no idea what you're talking about. Glock 42 has been number one selling glock for many months. They sell truck loads of it. Ask all the FFLs and they will tell you that they couldn't keep the g42 in stock for more than a few days.
