New Glocks for 2014

[Whisky]

..Why would you want a 380 when you can have 9mm in the same size frame?..

we have both the sigs - 238 & 938 (.380 & 9mm) - my Wife doesn't like the recoil of my 938 but loves her 238 - so I'd say...that's "why"

Why would you want a 380 when you can have 9mm in the same size frame?

Everyone asks that question until they shoot one. Then .380 starts looking pretty nice again.

9mm is not a rough recoiling round at all.

That's really depends on the pistol. I have 9s that recoil worse than full-load .44 magnums.

Arent there already 2 other .380 Glocks that are illegal in the US because the Saturday night special definition on imports?

I believe the new .380 is made in the U.S.A.

It is.

Not sure I want to have another caliber of handgun. .45 and 9mm are about as much as I need. Glad Glock is releasing these though.

Yes, and they are fairly pointless to own outside of gun collecting due to the fact they are straight blowback and probably recoil at least as much as their 9MM delayed blowback counterparts.

Also, if I'm not mistaken they are banned not so much because they are "Saturday night specials," but rather they are not considered sporting firearms. You remember that part of the Second Amendment that mentions sporting firearms, don't you?

Here's my plan: Some dude will just HAVE to have the G42, but will have to part with his G19 (I know, but it's MY plan), and I'll get a G19 dirt cheap.

I like how you think

Its because they dont score enough points on this system: http://www.atf.gov/files/forms/download/atf-f-5330-5.pdf
It was designed to stop the importation of "Saturday Night Specials".

I've never seriously considered a .380 ACP, but that may change with the G42. Might make a great last resort BUG - a double secret probation BUG. Yeah. That's the ticket.

But, I'm buying that sweet new Remington R-51 9mm first.

Actually, it was designed to further infringe on American's 2A rights, but I get what ya mean....

You're right, thats just what they claimed was the reasoning.

Devil's advocate: the Constitution doesn't specify "what" arms. That's the point of debate in this specific case. Some argue that means everything, others argue that as long as people can have SOME arms that meets the spirit of the law.

 

[Mreed911]

Hehe, GT's is certainly expecting to sell the hell out of these. Saw this this morning... note that LE Pricing includes many first responders, military, etc. I'm really considering a 41, as my 21 has been a trusted sidearm for a long, long time. If we ever became an open carry state I'd consider the 41, as there's no way in hell I'm concealing that bastard.

Look at the popularity of the shield and XdS, glock missed the boat. For now

Doesn't have to. "Arms" does not have a complicated definition. "The right of the people to keep and bear SOME arms" is not what 2A says.

winner!!!!!!!!!!

I wonder if the 41 takes 21 mags. If so, that might seal the deal for me...

Edit: Looks like it does. SWEET!
